Fishing conditions (its not the boats fault)
So i noticed the fish counts dropped off, its not the boats fault. Basically its no ones fault, its called fishing NOT catching. Lots of variables play the part on fish eating and timing. i have seen fish and could not get them to go, leave and radio a buddy in and an hour later limits. Also have seen the classic oh man its a great day weather seas etc... for nothing.
Check the storms, weather, moon phase and temps. lots of variables. Here is a current example: Moon phase and sea conditions. Both listed below; knowing a little bit about tuna fishing. i would say the better bite is going to be on or about 15th - 21st not saying some will not be caught same with the yellowtail. However if your planning trips plan accordingly. as for the weather i hear oh its high winds right now. i have not really checked, but the weather report is post below.
Lets see your thoughts on what i have listed here.
