Fishing Report - 06/19/10

GREETING FROM THE TROPICS

I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO SPEND A SPECIAL FATHERS' DAY THAN TO TAKE YOUR SONS FISHING. THIS WEEK WAS JUST THAT AS PESCA PANAMA FISHED WITH PATRICK SALVI, BRAIN SALIVI, PATRICK SALVI 11, CHRISTOPHER SCHOSTOK, MICHAEL SCHOSTOK, MICHAEL SCHOSTOK JR. AND BRIAN SALVI. THE SECOND GROUP FISHING WITH PESCA PANAMA HAD BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER BY TEDD TENNIS AND INCLUDED JOHN M. CHAPUT, JOHN J. CHAPUT, THOMAS TACIA AND THOMAS O. TACIA.

YELLOWFIN FOUND AT HANNIBAL BANK

USUALLY BY THIS TIME OF YEAR THE YELLOWFIN TUNA HAVE MOVED ON SOME OTHER UNKNOWN LOCATION AND OUR ANGLERS ATTENTION TURNS TO CATCHING OTHER SPECIES. WELL THIS WAS NOT THE CASE THIS WEEK AT HANNIBAL BANK!

OUR FIRST DAY AT THE BANK CAPTAIN LUCHO'S ANGLERS LANDED A 150 YELLOWFIN WITH SEVERAL SMALLER TUNA LANDED BY OTHER ANGLERS. THEN ON THE SECOND DAY AT HANNIBAL BANK CAPTAIN'S TITO ANGLERS RELEASED A 250 LB BLACK MARLIN, A 500 LB BLACK MARLIN AND BOATED A 250 YELLOWIN. CAPTAIN TOMMY'S ANGLERS LANDED A 150 AND A 170 LB YELLOWFIN AND CAPTAIN LUCHO'S ANGLERS LANDED 3 MORE YELLOWFIN WITH THE LARGEST WEIGHTING 175 LBS.

NEXT DAY ANOTHER 150 LB YELLOWFIN HIT THE DECK FOR CAPTAIN LUCHO'S ANGLERS. THEN CAPTAIN TATIN'S AND CAPTAIN TITO'S ANGLERS CAUGHT FOUR MORE YELLOWFIN ALL BETWEEN 200 AND 220 LBS.

WEDNESDAY AND CAPTAIN TOMMY'S ANGLERS BOATED THE LAST BIG YELLOWFIN, A 200 LB TUNA. ALL THE TUNA ACTION WAS AT HANNIBAL BANK AND MOST OF THE FISH WERE IN THE 150 TO 250 LB RANGE. THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF SMALL TUNA MIXED IN WITH THE BIGGER FISH. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A YELLOWFIN TUNA WEEK!

THE SEAS WERE MODERATE THIS WEEK, VERY FISHABLE FROM OUR 27 FOOT CENTER CONSOLE BOATS. THERE WAS SOME RAIN AND RAIN COATS WERE NECESSARY. THE TEMPERATURE WAS PLEASANTLY COOL. WITH ALL THE GREAT FISH WE CAUGHT THIS WEEK, COMBINED WITH THE GOOD FISHING CONDITIONS, THESE ANGLERS WILL BE ABLE TO MARK THIS DOWN AS A FATHERS' DAY TO REMEMBER FOREVER.

TIGHT LINES,
