Hey Gene, nice to have you.

[capt. gene berger]

ZACH, I will change my name….I am used to other forums…..I am in North New Jersey….I ran a charter boat ON A FLY out of Manasquan Inlet for about 10 years…got out of the business in 1995…I specialized in off shore fly fishing for tuna….we were lucky and had 3 world records (20lb class)–the 47 lb Longfin Albacore still stands I think! Now, the only thing the wind affects is my golf ball, it is nice not to get my brains beat.

Wow, that’s a unique fishery to be sure.

Welcome to you both

Zach…..I saw your posting re tuna fly gear…..we used Loomis 12-17 wt rods—-, Pate, Abel, Fin Nor, STH reels—-many different line set ups, up to 800gr sinking shooting heads, Teeny lines, all with lots of running line(usually 30lb mono)—-and any fly , as long it was a big white deceiver!!!

---

all fishing was done at anchor, as one would do chunking tuna with stand up gear….Gene

Welcome Gene and Christine! Nice to have you both on the board! Christine I think you are the only “fly chick” that I know of on the board. I look forward to seeing a “chicks” perspective on some of our topics around here.
