Had another great day on the water on Thursday. The weather was nice, calm seas, and we had a short run out of Hatteras to the 70 degree gulf stream. The Bluefin were still there and we nailed ‘em this time…hooked 6 and landed 4 over 100 lbs and could’ve caught plenty more. Brought my housing this time because I wanted to get the underwater perspective of the bluefin coming up to the boat. First time shooting underwater so it was an intense experience. A lot happening really fast and being aware of your camera settings and where everything is was a little trickier than I expected, but I learned a lot and look forward to doing it again…..tomorrow! The tuna schools were in 50+ feet so because my housing is only rated to 20 ft I couldn’t get down there and shoot the free swimming tuna but I did get a few cool ones of the tuna being reeled up to the boat. While we were in the water Drew and Pat were on the boat jigging and heard some of the boats around us on the radio saying ‘the sharks were wanting the tuna more than they were’. Fortunately we didn’t see any. The wind died in the afternoon and we had a very smooth cruise back to the ramp. Here’s a few images from another great day on the Blue Runner! Check back soon for photos of yesterdays pumping surf and another tuna fishing trip tomorrow. Life is so good.
