First Tuna Trip Success

Posted by: Quentin Knights in cornish line caught tuna on Print PDF

The Cornish Tuna vessel Nova Spero under the helm of skipper Tom McClure returned to Newlyn on Sunday after their first trip of the season. The tuna were found over three days steam South West of Newlyn but working closely with the spanish fleet a fine trip of excellent quality handline tuna was put together. The tuna were a good run mainly between 6 and 8 kg fish and the crew put ashore over six hundred fish for their trip. As always close liaison with our Spanish friends helped and we are looking forward to another good season working with them.

Shaun Edwards remains on parturnity leave and the Nova Spero will sail again on Wednesday with Tom at the helm. The Charisma is expected to begin tuna fishing in a week or so after they complete one more tide catching turbot.

Look froward to reporting in later in the week when we are back amongst the tuna.

All the best

Tom
