Fish Caught: Two Blue Sharks
Went out with Bill Brown Thursday, just to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong.
A slight change to the chumming and some other shared tips sent me out on my 8th sharking trip of the season Saturday.
Left Galesferry marina with my nephew, his girlfriend, DonP andn Tmack at 4am.
Hit the race only to catch a striper.
Started heading to block and hit some good fog.
(Click to Enlarge) It did clear up as we approached block.
(Click to Enlarge)Picked up some live bluefish south of the island and steamed to my new "Secret Spot".
This was a hole that I found that is not on the charts.
It goes from about 160 feet to 200 feet and is a few football fields in diameter.
Well, it was a not a secret.... two draggers were working the area and no less than 10 boats were trolling.
Decided to head to tuna ridge.
The place was a parking lot with 7 others boats in sight.
Set up the slick, within an hour the wind changed slightly forcing us to miss the structure and right into someone else's slick.
We had a mystery run off first thing and then went until 2pm to catch our first 5' blue dog.
(Click to Enlarge) We landed one more off of the short bait when were reeling the lines in.
Really slow day.
We did see tuna jumping and bait busting the surface in our slick.
Tuna were busting bait at 40' 54.011N 71' 14.181W
All of the components were there for a good day..... just too many people
