went out with a couple of friends to try and catch a tuna. it was our first time so we figured it would be a learning experience. left perdido pass at 1 am and got to the 255 rig around 3:30. we loaded up on hardtails in no time. made our way to petronius and there were several other boats there. we chunked and jigged and started catching blackfins right away. kept a few and used a couple to chunk with. after it started getting light a couple of yellowfins started busting the top. most fish we saw though were blackfins. it made everyones trip just seeing some of the bigger ones come 5-10 feet out of the water. we tried casting poppers but could only manage blackfins. they were fun to catch though. after a while we trolled around the rig for a little bit. there was a nice weedline with some big patches when we got to the rig before light. however, the wind had picked up and scattered the grass so we were clearing lines a lot. didnt have any bites on the troll so we hit the shallow rigs and managed a grouper, aj and some white snapper. finished up the day on some live bottom were we managed 7 red snapper and called it a day. water at the petronius was blue green.
