GAMBLER NJfishing Canyon Report
The Gambler was offshore with the NJfishing.com community on Weds/Thursday. The seas were forecast 5 to 9 feet, which is not-nice weather but fishable for a boat like the Gambler. The ride off was okay and we made good time.
One party boat returning from a trip gave us some good intel and the area they fished, so we headed directly to that spot and threw anchor around 2PM. We had a nice break in surface temp that went 71F, 72F and finally found the 73.3F that we were looking for. We did not see too much until the sun went down and we landed a nice longfin on butterfish bait by 7:30. We then fought a couple of sharks and a sword and caught another longfin around 9PM. I was steadily reading tuna and bait marks on my finder, anywhere from 50 to 250 ft below. Myself, the crew and some of our customers tried hard to jig up some fish but had no success. I thought if we could hang in there, the tunas would eventually turn on. But by midnight, the only thing that turned on was the wind and rain. When we had left the dock, the seas were forecast 5 to 9 feet but they were more like 8 to 12s. By 1AM there were only 2 guys left fishing. So I made the call and we came home (turning it into a 24 hour trip, I gave the guys and gal vouchers towards another trip). Shame but that's just the way it goes sometimes. Our next trip is scheduled for tonight and it sounds a bit lumpy again but it's a go. Our weekends are pretty well filled up but still have some spots open on weekdays.

Re: GAMBLER NJfishing Canyon Report
Weather has put the hurt on a lot of fishing this season. You made the right call coming home. Will see you this coming weekend in hopefully better conditions.
