A day to the Chicken Canyon by way of Gloryhole and Atlantic Princess, lots of trolling, costs me 42 gallons. Includes running back through Ghole and Mudhole

Out of Manasquan, Glory hole is 40nm,Princess about 5nm southeast of that, west edge of Chicken 7nm east of Princess.

50nm to go straight to fishing inside the Chicken (they call it the chicken cause that's where us little guys stop, its not really a canyon)

50nm=57 miles

All that said "THE CANYONS" are alot farther. Hudson is 75nm just to the western tip. No way a V20 is going there safely.


The Texas Tower & Bacardi have been hot for bft/small yft but they are beyond safe range without extra tank and big balls...

If you don't get better than 3 mpg running at 25-30 mph. don't go to the chicken. It has to be flat enough to run hard for 2 hours+ in both directions

For a shot at some Mahi and maybe a stray bft, try trolling the pot markers on the southeast side of the Mudhole heading out into the Glory Hole. try to find blue-er water. You can watch your fuel and get a sense of where you can reach the next time. Humpty Dumpty/Little Italy area of Mud hole is just under 20 miles and hits the 20 fathom line.
