We had 20 yft to 80lbs including a dozen mahi mahi with a flurry of about 15 of them taken within an hour and a half on the jig and chunk over night. We found ourselves 80ft thick with bait and tuna on our depth sounder. So we took advantage and from 2:00am until a little before 4:00am we were nonstop. The troll in the morning was also very productive however we had our boat filled and the weather was kicking up. Dropped about a dozen more yft on the jig along with a monster that spooled a crew member’s battle tested cape cod bluefin set up. The action was outstanding and it was a fantastic way to conclude the canyon season! Location was Atlantis canyon in the 500 ft depth.

All the best and keep in touch!

Fishing Report
After getting a tip from Captain Al and John from Trophy Tackle in Babylon. Captain Brian Doherty took his 31 Contender with a great crew to an area were we heard there was a ton of life located SW of the Dip. We had 1 nice 45lbs Long Fin 15 minutes into the troll. Then we worked the area hard until we found a temp break and marked a ton of bait deep. Next thing we knew drags were screaming and we went 12 for 14 on Yellowfin to 50lbs. Another great day on the water with a great crew and a ton of laughs.
