Bloodier decks on the
Gambler 36hr trip--This'll be a quicky--I'm whipped! Got to the Hudson and looked for the temp break-found it & set up a drift @ 1.9 kts- a little quick, but doable. First fish 70-80# YFT after an hour, then a flurry of 30-40/50# yellows every couple hours--just when guys were getting bored, here's a few more to get the blood flowing again. Ran back, started again, and a couple more flurrys. Set up on the drift for night after a short run finding a shot of 2* warmer water(73*+). Again, short shots of same size YFT's until just before false dawn with another shot & me with my light (30# main/40# fluoro leader get run off going into the braid backing...good, first tuna on this new acid wrap & it's a little bigger! After 50 min, passed off to Todd, me again, Alex, me, back to Todd; after 1hr 40min main fatigued near leader and parted---had it within 25-30' doing spirals--big yellow, 100#+. Wasn't his day to die...Finally spent 2 hrs pot hopping, some still produced a very few Mahi to 15# while 2-3 of us jigged for wahoo-longfin. Finished up by running to & making 2 drifts over a wreck. Headed in @ 2PM. As always, Bob went over trying to get everyone something for home & 2nd capt Todd, Chris, Nico, Alex & our offshore galley girl, Eva(delivering meals to the rail) for keeping us happy and entertained as only this crew can do--Kudos!!! NOAA was pretty close to forecast. Daylight drifts @ 1.2 kts. Air was warm, even with overcast today.."T"-shirt weather...Couple of free swimmers(mahi) and catchable squid & only one blue dog...Totals--a few mahi to 15#, all YFT-1 80#,maybe 15-20 30-40/50#.Most, if not all caught on live/dead squid and chunks/whole butter fish... I'm stiff, starting to cramp, shower-me & rods-and to bed...See everyone next Wed. for NJF 36hr trip...looks like we'll get out after this weekend/Monday blow....good night...
Chucky
