Better late than never. The following was posted on ctfisherman.com which we recently joined to share offshore information with fellow enthusiasts.
Called Jeff Woerz for a spot on his boat Thursday at 11:oopm. He said the boat was down but that he could put together a few guys for a trip on my 55' Ocean. Left Sat 6:00 am, topped off in Montauk and started our troll about 14 miles from the wall. Struck out on the troll and went to 1500-3000 feet for the chunk. Decided to drift because it was so still out there.
Things started heating up in the early morning. With tuna in the slick and makos circling we got a very large albie. We then hooked a large Mako but didn't set the hook. After a few jumps he was free. We then hooked a bigeye who had all but spooled the 50w when we were able to gain some ground by backing down. He then outsmarted us by going straight down where he spooled us. Back on the troll in the early am we hooked two large Mahi heading back toward the edge. We finished off the morning with a White Marlin who managed to dehook himself after a few jumps. All in all it was a great trip where we were schooled by the fish. The weather was incredible, the boat ran like a charm and everyone had a great time. A special thankyou to Jeff for sharing his extensive fishing knowledge and Aldo,David,David, Rich and Adrian.
