V-20 Weather

[SkunkBoat]

Guess I'll just keep this thread going.

6/29 Sunday -Ran out to the Chicken Canyon & Princess. No tuna no mahi. Got mauled by 10 lb bluefish...Doubles & triples... if there were hooks in the daisy chains I would have had a sextuple! There are teeth marks in the bird.

Gonna give it 2 weeks and hope for V20 weather again

Got me some shark bait though....

Ran to the Axel Carlson (late morning) end up with 5 keeper fluke, largest was 25"

Hard to hold bottom drifting and needed ten ounces.

Came in around 4:00. Inlet started getting a little nasty with the outgoing tide but the V went right through it.

I remember oh maybe about 12years ago the Blue fish were just about out to the canyon. Good catch Dan I think we may have another V-20 going the distance soon!!!
Hey Chuck sound's like your out riggers got put to a little test.Hope they didn't destroyed any tuna lures.

I'm gaining confidence in my V with every trip. I fished with my father today and we both can't believe how well the V handles the chop. I have trim tabs and almost always use them (except in following seas)

I have the range and eprib. I would not mind getting a light weight, three person raft and PLB. All I would have to do is wait for the Bermuda high!

I would like to get out to the Shark River Reef or the mud hole but I don't know of any spots or what time of year to fish each area.

South Jersey (mostly Cape May) is most of my experience. Deeper water with more structure up here...

Dan,
Here's a link to NJ Reef Guide. It'll get you started on the right spots.

Saturday the 12th is looking like V20 weather for a Chicken Canyon run.
