Oblivious to all the Tuna hitting the water behind them.
The frenzy would last a couple hours, then stop, every evening.
Since the winds turned E to ESE, I haven't seen many hitting the top. But when the winds were North and seas flat, they were like Pirana in the evenings.

Ray have you seen any blue fin tuna? I've heard reports that several large schools have been spotted in the area of one of the rigs you mention.
