Tenacious Sportfishing

Made our first Open Boat overnighter to the Hudson with 2 Bryans, Ralph. Jacque, John and Jeff . Afternoon trolling was uneventful without a bite from the tip to the bumper boats in big eye alley. Night chunking produced one scorching run-off that came unglued at midnight. There were constant marks on the screen the rest the night but we had no further action. We joined the bumper boats again at first light and saw a few boats hooked up but we did not get a bite. Trolling away from the fleet we raised a white that took several passes at the shotgun, became hooked but spit the hook after a short run. Before heading home we switched to light tackle and had a good time putting Mahi in the cooler. Beautiful weather till 20 miles from home where you needed seat belts fastened.
