Don't **** anyone off it is a long swim back.

Many of the tuna charters in Louisiana don't troll for tuna. They go out to
a place called the midnight lumps. They drop 200 to 300 feet of anchor rope
and start chumming. This brings the bonitas to the surface. The tuna
follow shortly thereafter. Everyone cast out and if someone hooks one
everyone else reels in while the fight is on. If they do troll the deck
hands will set out several lines. If a fish is hooked then the fisherman
usually take turns reel in a fish. Sometimes they hand off the reel in the
middle of a fight due to the time it takes to get one in. A good place to
see pictures of tuna caught of Louisiana is at www.rodnreel.com There have
been several nice tunas caught lately along with some red snapper that had
to be released since the season is not here yet. Go to the report section
and post your question in coastal fishing and offshore fishing. One of the
charter captains may answer you or someone that been on one of these
charters. By the way if your charter captain can sell his fish under his
permit sell any blue fin tuna you get it will pay for the trip. A few years
back they had a 586 LB blue fin caught on a charter off the coast of
Louisiana. It sold at the dock to a wholesaler for over $9000 dollars.
