Re: Tuna Trip - Mudhole, NJ
I was out in the mudhole today. here is a copy of my report.
Left the dock around 4:30am, and arrived at the "secret" mudhole wreck area 50 miles out around 6:45am. Marked fish pretty quickly. Got an "under" fish while jigging. As I am fighting this fish, two other guys hook up as well. Near the surface, as I am bringing in my fish, I see about six or seven BFT's (including one big "over" fish) following around my fish. Very cool.
Shortly thereafter, my buddy gets another "under" fish on a chunking rod. By this time it is around 8am. That ends up being it for the BFT's for the day. We had a couple of the chunking rods go off, but the hooks got quickly pulled.
Stopped fishing around 12:30pm and got back to the barn around 3pm.
At the "secret" spot I counted 54 boats.
Water was very calm today. I saw a couple of small single engine sleds out there.
Water temp was between 70.9f and 73f.
