The search for bluefin tuna is on! A team of scientists from Stanford University and other partner institutions is scouring waters in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The goal - to place electronic tags in giant bluefin tuna to learn more about their migrations, behavior, and environmental preferences. Read about their adventures below...

Back on the Water
Both TAG vessels, the Sensation and Leslie Anne, were again on the water Sunday, hoping that the colder water temperatures brought about by the two days of strong weather would bring better fishing. Captain Dale Britt was seeing tracings of bait on the Sensation's depth sounder, but no tuna were to be found. The closest we got was watching a nice 94" fish being brought on board the Last Call just to port of the Sensation. The highlight of the weekend was the fantastic gumbo cooked up on Saturday evening by Doug Roberts, mate on the Leslie Anne, for our nightly family-style dinner at Dr. Block's house. Leftover gumbo certainly helped everyone stay warm on the water the next day!
