Sharking last week

We ran south of the Island last wednesday, really looking for BFT, but I had two cans of chum in the freezer so I brought them along. Charlie wasn't home so we threw a bag in the water for a couple of hours. We had two blue sharks and about a 120 pound mako. we released them all.
Uneventful troll on the way back before we picked up an ran.

I have a shark/tuna charter a week from Friday, hopefully charlie will be around.

sorry, not being a saltwater guy, I'll ask, is BFT Black Fin Tuna or Blue Fin Tuna?

BFT=Bluefin tuna. I don't think they are any scarcer than they were last year, but they sure aren't anywhere as thick as they were the year before last.
