NJ fishing report-2019

[SkunkBoat]

left at 7pm Wed to run to the Princess. put lines out short of there before we lost light. just a small bluefish but that made a fresh shark bait. drifted for shark/tuna all night
bluefish got bit in less than 30 minutes ...small Dusky.
covered in squid under my new blue light stick. they didn't bite very well we got less than a dozen for baits...left the throw net at home...
dolphins and pilot whales came thru every hour and filled up on squid.
got a very small mako about 2 am. no tuna bites.
started to troll at 430am, first bluefin 46" at 5am, second bluefin 52" at 520am

headed to the tip of the Hudson Canyon. searched for tilefish for a couple hours with no luck just a handful of spotted hake, a whiting and a tiny rosey.

Hit the lobster pot markers on the way in and found some beautiful mahi.
One pot had an 18 pound bull and 12 pound cow and another 10 pounder.






My 1/4 share of tuna...18 pounds!!! and 5 pounds of mahi!
