Headed out with Capt Rich, Vic, and John, looking to go put some tuna in the boat.Sea conditions def didnt match the forcast as we headed out at 3 AM.Ran out 60 miles finally seeing some bluefins pushing water, set out the spread and had one Knockdown stripping the Bally , then caught a bonita, before being totally covered up with big bluefish.Got tired of resetting, only to continue to be coverd up with blues.Decided to continue east to the Hudson as heard there had been a very good early bite.
Had the rigs in the water a little after 830 and soon had a flat line jumped on.Brought that 45 pound yellow fin to the boat.Took a couple hours till we finally had 5 rods go off, two came unbuttoned quick, one had a small yellow fin about 26 inches on it, one had a small mahi, and the last had another 45 pound yellow on it.
decided as it was gettting late we wanted to try some deep drop tile fishing.Moved over to muddy slope in 500 foot and Rich had a tile on as soon as he hit bottom.we picked up 15 tiles in about an hour, also having 2 nice mahi come cruising past.Vic's tile bait got hit as he was dropping down by on of the Mahi ,the other kept lighting up but just wouldnt hit anything thrown at him.
Catching tiles in 500 foot of water with 2 pound sinkers def made for sore arms quick.
Also had a 12-13 foot hammerhead at the boat for about 10 minutes , but all of us had had enough and nobody wanted to be the rod man so he got away without the possibility of as sore jaw
.Running in we had a school of Dolphins playing in the boat wash, crashing into it from 90 degrees and using it to propel themselves high in the air doing flips and rolls, they put on an awesome show for us !!!!!!!!!Headed back in at 4 on flat seas, for a sweet ride home.Def cant wait to get out there again.
