Canyon 8/3

[Bullish]

Heading out again...probably to the Hudson unless a better report comes from the Toms or further south. Give me a call on 68 if you are out.

bullish were going out of cape may saturday into sunday most likely.. we dont want to make the 125 mile run to the hudson.. do you have any clorphyll shots.. im looking for some blue water from the lindy on down.. any blue water south of the hudson and toms?

bigeye and bluemarlin fishing this weekend!

I don't have access to any clorophyll charts. I expected the Hudson to have a crowd of boats so I went to the Toms. We went out in 2-4 seas and came home in healthy 3-5 and then 4-6 for the last 40 miles. It was blowing 15-20 for those last 40 miles.

I heard on the radio a couple of guys picking one or two yft in the Hudson around the Bombs.

We went 0 for 1 on a White and 0 for 1 on a mystery fish. I talked to another guy that got skunked in the Toms too. A very slow day with a nice beating on the way home.

Boat ran great except for the compressor clutches on my KAMD 44ps which are wearing out again (replaced them last August). I will replace with new clutches over the winter and add the Acme props. Maybe the Acme props will take some stress off of the compressors when getting the boat out of the hole.

What was your speed coming home in 4-6

I was also out there Friday, started in the middle grounds at 430 am and moved over to the hudson at 900am, both places nada but did raise a white marlin in the hudson, water temp 78 in the mid. grounds and 80 in the hudson.Packed it in at 1230pm 22kts back to staten island boat ran like a champ. Volvo 300's

Petty Cash- I was able to maintain 19 knots in 4-6 but only because I was in the trough and I had tabs almost all the way down. 19 knots is my minimum for keeping her on plane with the compressors off so I really push for that speed. That's about 2950 rpms for me.

I would still launch off of the top of a wave every 1/2 mile or so which causes my props to feel a loss of restriction (because they are out of water) and my Volvo KAMD 44p's cut back when that happens. Then the compressors kick back on to help her get up on plane again. Probably another reason why I am burning through compressor clutches. We took a lot of spray over the bow but the boat never hit hard once always a nice re-entry. Crew not thrilled with my submarine style....apprarently I have some leaky eisenglass on my port side.

If I had to come home in a 4-6 head sea...maybe I would do 13 knots.
