Gambler Fishing

Capt. Bob on the Gambler has spent much of October tied to the dock as persistent poor weather limited opportunities to get offshore. During three trips early in the month, the crew searched for tuna but came up empty-handed. Fortunately, the mahi were willing to cooperate, providing anglers with some welcome action despite the elusive tuna bite. As October winds down and November approaches, weather windows will continue to play a key role in determining offshore opportunities.

Capt. Bob on the Gambler reported a frustrating stretch in the tuna fishery, with the last three trips producing no tuna. As he noted, “We know it’s frustrating to hear, but that’s tuna fishing. This fishery can turn on overnight — and until these fish decide to cooperate, we’ll keep putting in the work.” While tuna have been elusive, mahi have kept the action exciting. Squid are also still showing up at night, a promising sign that plenty of bait remains in the area. For now, anglers will have to stay persistent and wait for the tuna bite to fire back up.
