Im pondering the new gear list this year. Last year the addition of 4 STELLAS was a huge investment. The reels held up great on the large tuna. Anything else that hooked a fish I had my doubts about. I am looking at possibly getting a few of the new PENN TORQUE spinners as designated jigging reels on the short standup spinners....They will be used to exclusively toss RONZ and the like. Maybe a couple of FinNor Marquesas as well....All I know is I am expecting the bluefin to be around the 200lb mark this season. There is NO room for marginal or so-so tackle in this fishery....These fish can be whipped on light tackle and we have been doing it with awesome results....
Alot of new tackle has come out the last year for these fish and were anxious to try it out.
I expect to be fishing full time by May 15-20. In the interim, I am getting ready to celebrate the half century mark next week. That's right folks....Good ol Jeffie is turning 50!!..Holy crapola!!!...Never thought I would live to see the day. To tell you the truth, I am feeling pretty damned good. To date, i have lost 32lbs this winter and have worked out with the weights really hard, changed my diet and all that other stuff your supposed to do..
If you haven't got your dates in for this summer, think about doing so....
Looking forward to catching up with all of you this summer OTW!!

As usual I'm gearing up for the trips on NvrAgn that I never seem to take. The Stellas and Saras I got last year generally have 65 pound PP on them. I'm thinking of moving to JB Hollow - 60 or 80. What are you lining up with?
congrats on 50 and skinny and fit, way to go, live longer, torture more fish, quicker on the draw. tying here and getting ready to get some sand in my shoes. great new site, wonderful images, I like the music. DD
