[quote name='eatfish' post='13815' date='Mar 2 2009, 10:50 AM']Sounds good, I hope the seas lay down for you. Your rig sound right. I was using 80# braid and 80# flouro leader. never broke or lost anything. on another note. I've got a letter to forward you regarding this years Tuna quota's. I'll PM you later with it. OH yeah, we usually fish on the bow, but the pool winner came from the Port side 3/4 down the rail towards the stern. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]
I have the letter and I sent a few copies to the appropriate parties...are you going Wed to the hearing in Gloucester. It is best that everyone makes it to the mettign so we don't lose our share of the quota, I can't believe what a bunch of BS this whole thing is with the Bluefin tuna!! For those of you who don't know, the brief synopsis is that since the USA has such stringent restrictions on bluefin tuna(as we are trying to be stewards of the ocean), we have not met out quota for the past few years...now ICCA is contemplating giving a large portion of our quota to other countries. All of the other countries on record have much less stringent restrictions on bluefin so none of this makes any sense, the way the whole system is setup is rediculous.
