Short report and a few good links

The tuna fishing is getting better by the day and we have caught fish each of the last four trips. It will only get better from here and should last throughout October. As long as the weather cooperates, we will target them!

Speaking of tuna, there have been a number of recent books and articles on the subject. Today, marine biologist and writer Richard Ellis was on On Point with Tom Ashbrook talking about his recent book, Tuna: A Love Story, which tells the tales of the current state of the tuna fishery. A very solid read for anyone interested in the fate of one of our most favorite fish. You can here the interview with Tom Ashbrook here. My friend and hunting buddy Leighton just caught a fish in our local waters that was tagged in Spain! We've known for a while that these fish migrate across the oceans but his story is worth checking out.

Richard has been on vacation with his family this week. He will be back fishing next week when I leave for vacation with my wife. We will both be back in action on Labor Day and fishing hard for the last two months of the season.

For now, tight lines.
