Georges Bank DE Tuna

[tashmoo2]

We just won the lottery and I want to buy DE boat to fish for Tuna on Georges Bank in October without worrying too much about fuel or weather. Only kidding of course about lottery.

thought this would make an interesting discussion

Wait talking about the Five Ladies? LOL Sweet boat... I was next to them on Wednesday, I think we both did the same fishing but I only spent 10 gallons in diesel... I was warm, dry and stretched out on my couch waiting for fish. LOL We'll we just moved around a lot more...

45'x16'8" Dixon just like the Tuna Tangler Too. It's on dixon's website. Paul Sterns runs it , the boat must have a hundred rod holders.

Hot tuna is a 45 streched to 48 it is owned by Tim Ott his son TJ runs the boat when his father is not there..very nice guys

The owner doesn't run it right? Owner is some car dealer or something. The guy that runs it is a portly guy, big curly hair and full beard?

THose DIxon's are sweet but even a 48 doesn't seem real big on Georges in Oct.

Here's my buddy Ronnie's grander and a few other nice ones. 38 Northern Bay Jamie Toy

Thanks for the info.

That's a nice tuna problem to have.

Does anyone know if Five Ladies is a 50? I swear in the early 2000's that thing just looked like a beast. I actually didn't like the deck/freeboard seemed to high. Fished next to it Wednesday and didn't look that big.

5 ladies is a BIG ole sumbitch. Tuna Tangler and Herbies old Fishbucket are perfect Georges Boats love those Dixons. I'd venture off there on this craft...46 Jarvis

I'm with you on the freeboard thing Shawn. I think the boat needs a tall trunk and house in order to make it look proportionate. My eye doesn't like the big downeasts with really high sheers, where the level of the deck is way off the waterline. Looks like it would be tough to even reach the water from the cockpit--would make tail-roping and bleeding a fish pretty damn hard.

I would go on my 45 mdi but i would like to repower with a new c18 1015 hp cat first...lol maybe next year

 

[JasonD]

A 46 Wesmac like F/V Lamb of God would be perfect!!!

 

[commtuna]

Think BIG. Think FAST. Think DIXON!

TJ's "Hot Tuna"...
