    Report on-board Brigand

    Wow! That's Bluefin Tuna number 10 hooked- up and number 7 to the boat for us out of East Sussex in our first season and the thrill and excitement of catching these magnificent fish does not diminish over time or number of fish caught.
    We are seeing more and more bird, bait, Dolphin and Tuna activity week after week as we build toward what we expect to be the peak in mid November. We had everything today, more birds than we've seen this year Offhsore, more Dolphins and thankfully more Tuna!
    Nick was on the rod to land this cracker estimated at 180lb which made a right mess of the spreader bar!
    Fantatsic crew of Julian, Nick, Jim and Dave aboard to witness this incredible spectacle out of Brighton with over 200 Tuna sighted over numerous busts and it was late in the day before we got this one, there could quite easily have been several more.
    My Thanks to Karl Pope, not easy leadering fish with the configuration of our boat and he is growing into the role trip after trip and this one safely brought alongside with no drama and revived to strongly swim away after a few minutes.
    We go again tomorrow in what look to be challenging conditions with Mike and his crew and not sure who is going to be more excited about the prospect of hooking into more of these magnificent fish, it's such a privilage to be able to catch these from our home port.
    Look closely at the video of the hook up and you will see the strike at speed from the Tuna.
    Best wishes
