Subject: tuna patterns


Tuna are an incredible fish they can travel thirty miles or more overnight. I experineced some incredible displays of tuna feeding this year but it was just by luck and a bit of feel.. But that feel was my optimism which has alot to do with luck. However there is a pattern to how these fish move and they move overnight from an area to the next undetected. There are alot of excellent tuna fisherman who find them all the time and excellent tuna fisherman who get skunked to. My question is is that is all the radar and sonar and fishfinders as important as they come across to be. There was an old charter captain in Barnstable that I used to talk to when I was a young kid. One day he said to my dad that he had never caught a mark. I also wonder if many good fisherman are becoming to reliant on electronics and less reliant on their instincts. When birds fly upwind into a stiff breeze are they straining themselves because they want to or are they working hard against the wind to find what they are looking for, a patch of life? Wouldn't it be easier for them to just fly with the wind or do they smell somthing upwind?
Does the chatter of a radio aide or distract? This season I was told more than once to be quiet while the men on the radio birddoged one another and my friend may have missed that I was talking about fish way of our bow with no one from the radio even in sight.
My boat is small I have a compass and a radio(for emergencies), no gps and no fishfinder. When I see a slick I use a bait rig to see what may be down there. I will troll through them and work the area. There are amny tell tale signs of tuna that I know are obserable to people that want to see them, but I am affraid that they are going to forget how to look for them. This summer I realized alot on how I felt about and area. I did alot of looking around and noticed alot of strange interesting things. I hope that I can figure out the patterns of the tuna and become a successful tuna fisherman. The allure of them makes me totally crazy.
