47 Pound Albacore on BX2-500


Supreme Three-Day Ironmen

Tommy Rothery finished up a three-day trip on his Polaris Supreme and tied up at Fisherman’s Landing July 12.

“We had good fishing on albacore,” he said, “and bluefin fishing was okay, too. I think I saw the longest spread of albacore I’ve seen in five years. We had some kids who fished for tuna with iron from the bow, The Ironmen. They did great!”

Hubert Bell of Bonita won the jackpot for a 47-pound albacore, the best one to come in to the docks this season.

He said it bit on a sardine pinned to a 2/0 Super Mutu hook on 30-pound P-Line. He used an Accurate BX2 500 reel on an 800 M Calstar wrapped by Don’s Bait & Tackle.
