Just back...With water cooling at the triples, Bob took us to the Hudson, looking along an edge-finally started a drift in 63* clear blue water--instant thought, Longfin water...I think it was 6 AM first bird is boated(45#). Thereafter, every hour on the hour another tuna put on ice. After noon, that changed to anytime a boated or dropped fish. I had 1 hookup but mid-fight, I lost. As has been said "it wasn't his day to die". I think this was a yellow from the triple wrecks as it did just like those hooked fish. Occasionally a bait would get bit and dropped, coming in in shreds. Twice we started drifts at pots with only 1 medium mahi seen & caught. At fishing start, wind was a breeze and remained so until mid afternoon, then increasing a bit. Seas 2-4' under a cloudless sky.
As always our crew- Greg(capt74) 2nd Capt., Jill(office manager), John and Rick dealt with fish, tangles & the various duties expertly. Kudos to them & Capt. Bob for always trying for fish.
Drift was slow enough for tile fishing, of which 6 goldens were landed.
Totals: dropped/broken offs--too many, LFT's= 7(40-45#), 2 YFT's=2(50-60#), 6 Golden Tiles and one Mahi.
Only life was a few squid which showed briefly and weren't interested in jigs.
Oh yes, 1 blue shark early on.
See y'll next week.
