I was a little tired when I posted so I kept it short. Haven't had time to do a video, just pulled out some quick pictures.
Report wise, NJ canyons are on fire with white marlin, tuna of any kind are a random event, though there is a hot bite in Massey canyon which is South Jersey/Delaware. Never been there but I think Massey is a md-range spot, not really a continental shelf canyon.(you trailer queens might want to consider a trip to Cape May?)
We went straight line from Barnegat Inlet to Toms Canyon. We saw jumping spanish mackeral passing over the Fingers at 30 miles. We hit blue water at the 60 mile mark. We saw jumping skipjack and/or little tuny right at the color change. Gave it a circle with some lines back, got nothing and continued on.(we trolled the same spot on the way in for 30 minutes, no life)
We burned 74 gallons running out & in at 35 mph and trolling all edges and across the canyon. Yamaha F250. Love the ride of that boat but haven't been in it when the spray was a factor. Not a fan of any center console and that one has no deck space.
heres a picture of my brother's cooler...half of our cleaned haul.
the blue claws were in the trap at the dock when we got in.
