Overnight Hudson Canyon on the Luna sea out of Keyport NJ 9.24/9.25

With the rumor of a excellent long bout bite in the Hudson we loaded up the boat and headed SE…. We left the dock close to noon on Saturday. Had a good ride out with a 5-7 foot swell and a tiny chop on top rated.

Got to the canyon and did a little trolling close to. Got nothing at all on the troll but marked some bait down deep and made the decision that was a very good location to devote the evening. We had squid all about us the whole night time and a ton of dolphin feeding on them. They did supply enjoyment on a really sluggish night time of catching blue sharks…. 🙁

Up on the troll in the early morning we had fish on as soon as the lines hit the h2o. The 1st two long bout were huge…. Guessing around 65-70lbs. From there it was non-quit. Tons of lengthy fin from 35lbs to all around 70lbs. We also maintained to get a 200# class huge eye to the gaff.

It sounded like every person that was out there had a fantastic time with the LFT and there have been a few of other Eyeballs caught as well. I did listen to of a few YFT getting caught but it didn’t sound like something to create house about.
I suggest that if at all feasible you get out there NOW….. I haven’t had a day like that in a long time. It’s truly good to see the longfin coming back to go to.

I didn’t get a whole lot of photographs but here is a single from again at the dock.
