Tuna Trip - Mudhole, NJ

[Basspond]

Skipped work today to take advantage of the nice weather and get out to the area of some good reports of bluefin and yellowfin tuna lately. Also the first offshore trip on the SC.

Apparently the area has been hush hush recently, but that ended today when we arrived to a fleet jigging, chunking, and trolling.

The bite was hot and cold and unfortunately we did not get into any of the bluefin or yellowfin (although apparently the bite heated up on our way home, go figure).

Did manage a few skippies on the jig, albies on the troll, and a nice mahi on a sardine.

Just a beautiful day on the water.

Picture perfect offshore weather, especially in a 20ft SC!



Finally got to try out the riggers, perfect for keeping the spreader bars in clean water
