Post by erik the viking »

Found this footage from the 7th Feb.
Very nice tuna in close to shore!

(Maybe they should have dropped a bait from the drone and tried their luck that way?)

Awesome footage - worth the watch and love that drone.
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

It's amazing to see them from that perspective. I've been up close and personal with schools like that before but it's not till you see them from above that you realise what it's really like. They tend to be very hard to tempt to bite when their cruising like that or just feeding on tiny bait.
