capt's kevin gerrity and tye mcgowan took dave daley of randolph, joe zagorski, shrimpman steve, todd, and friends out for their annual over night canyon trip on oct 2, 2013. dave's first trip was blown out and last years bigeye bonanza was gonna be tough to beat, but kevin and tye, had to mo joe. after trolling most of the day we finally got a nice 75lb yellowfin to the boat and lost him at the leader.. not good. we set up for the night and at midnight we started to catch, the bite lasted till 5am when we had boxed up 21 yellowfins to 85lbs. the guys were jigging them and had an absolute blast. this crew needs not to catch to be happy, they enjoy just being out on the water, they catch is just a bonus.

Hey Steve you personally shut the Hudson bite down for 2 days. We thought the circus was in town.

[jenny lee sportfishing]

steve, it was your loss . you have no idea, you would have had the time off your life, without catching..or you would have swam home

I think swam home!! Thanks for another great trip Capt Dave. You always say its a "lottery" out there but I believe your experience, prep and passion (you guys are more excited than us) certainly increases the odds. OR it US bringing a bit of luck to the vessel

You are right, its not about the catching with us although luckily we have yet to experience a non catch with you guys. Its about the whole experience.
I always break the trip down into segments:
1) The prep, anticipation and the pain in the ass stuff, weather window, everyones schedule, the thousand texts etc buts its all good excitement.
2) the ride out: leaving at false light, the sunrise, the smell, crossing the 30 then 50 fathom line when the water color changes, the mammal life starts and Kevin comes down to start the spread and the music comes on.
3) the day troll where hours can go by but the any minute expectation lives inside. the first hits of the day and of course the "pleasantries" shared by you guys.
4) the night chunk. Sunset hits and if we are not still on some bigeyes or other strike, the crew starts the whole "new" process and prep. Again more "pleasantries" exchanged and the work begins. then the mayhem.
5) the ride home exhausted but taking in every second of another great trip and what mother nature has to offer out there.
Honestly don't think other than my wife and children there is anything better in this world!
Thank you.
