[Pennsy Guy]

You guys are spot on....got out there--west wall Hudson @ 4pm trolled til 7 and set up a drift, then anchored...too flat the first night...short bite @ 4AM 6 hookups, 2 70# YFT..my ne pulled the hook after 6-7 min...a single boated half hour later...lots of life in 70-72 water..more porpise than I've ever seen all evening & night with numerous whales off and on same time and squid...no sharks!
Trolled the second morning..nothing...pot hopped for a few mahi..a couple of 10-15#, the rest chickens...drifted a NOAA ocean buoy, ran a mile or so and set up for the night chunk in same temp water, but wind and seas building and a threatening sky...rained most the night with 20 knot wind..no life at all..only run-offs were blue devils--one was really huge...nothing til 6AM and a line went off(only 6 lines in by then)--two hours later we saw it at least a third of it--massive swordy we thought it'd go 300#..Capt. Bob said 400, maybe 500#...5-10 minutes later, it was gone...end of trip...
Thanks to the entire crew and Bob for doing everything in their power to help us on this trip--which they always do..and to Chef Tom for keeping us well fed and at the rail with his special coffee!!!

See you this Thursday...better fish-wise trip coming!!!
