GAMBLER Canyon Reports

[captbogan]

It was a nice run of decent weather, Sept through the first week of October --but I guess we are paying for it now. I have already cancelled Monday and Friday's offshore trips due to this Nor'easter.

We have been catching fish out in the canyons every trip but not getting the numbers we hoped to have. Seems like there were a few nights where the tunas really bit good, but we happened to be at the dock those nights.

We have encountered swordfish on nearly every trip this season: one night we caught two and on our last trip we boated a 250lber. The yellowfin that we've caught are bigger, 60 to 80lb class and the longfin have been 30 to 40lbers. Some of our trips we have caught up-wards of 100 mahi (5 to 25lbs) and on one trip we took 40 or 50 tile fish (5 to 20lbs). Our next offshore trip is scheduled for this Sunday: a 48-hour marathon... hopefully the weather will calm by then.
