Well we went from 58 yellowfin on the chunk in 2 nights to very hard fishing. Who knows what it is – who knows what is was but we had some of the best fishing ever this year and it was bound to slow.
The slow down started after the Northeast blow we had early last week. On our first trip out with the Tom Mallen charter on August 26-27 Capt. Mark DeBlasio and Capts. Deanne Lambros and Ryan DiBagio went right back where they crushed them 3 nights earlier and had nothing. Nothing on the troll, nothing on the chunk – it was heart breaking – it was at the southwest corner of the Hudson.
So on August 27-28 (Friday-Saturday) with the Carl Bloomfield and Mike Greenberg charter the boys went down to the Toms Canyon and just didn’t see the life they needed to see and were lucky enough to nail 2 longfin on the troll right before dark but that was it.
