Bobby took us to the Hudson what with a poor weather report coming up from the South and set up for the night on the hook on the East wall in 70-72 water. YFT bite happened at 11:30 Thurs. night and a slow pick thereafter for the rest of the night with 8 total boated and several lost. 1 about 50#, rest at 75-80#...lots of life, finback whales, porpise and squid...skies mostly clear and seas quite doable...
Day 2...trolled to West wall(up/down?) and pot hopped with a nice pick of mahi-mahi...then trolled with no knock downs in building seas and cloudy skies and an increasing wind...ran a little bit and set up on the Toms SE corner...same water as the Hudson with only the occasional porpise run through, but the squid were there for the taking, so were the blue dogs and had several run/bite offs during the night...one 100# sword lost after a short fight & 1 trip across the pulpit...finally, 2 45# LFT's boated and shortly after, a YFT65-70#...I'd say half the yellowfins were jigged this trip...probably blew about 20kt with 6-7'seas-some bigger. One rogue wave came through and really knocked coolers, etc around-luckily,no one was hurt...
As usual, Capt. Bob, 2nd Capt. Greg and crew, Alex, Chris, Tim & Todd made each of us feel special with their attention given us when needed and to Chef Tom for his galley fare, always delish, and his "special brew" helping to keep us at the rail...
Fish totals are correct, chronological order is probably wrong--brain is still fuzzy...
It's getting better, slowly...can't wait for next trip...
