Took off from Noank on 8/5, heading due S off on Montauk. ~20nm N of The Dip, saw fish crashing. drop in 8 lines. ~30min, hooked into a 50lb yellow. trolled the rest of the way to the dip, caught 3 more yellow in the 30-50lb range. approached the dip towards sunset, perfect time for the big eye, but nothing. marking fish S of the dip. decided to set up our drift just off the 60 boats working the edge. which, btw, looked like an island in the middle of the canyons...crazy!! began chunking butterfish after sunset. nothing on the overnight bite. marking fish from 30' down to 150'. had glow sticks down for swords, nothing. had other baits up and down the water column...not even a tap. pods of porpoises were our friends all night long. anyone see those pods under the moon? awesome sight!!! along with marking fish, marking tons of bait, which probably made the fish more picky and not choosing our baits...damn it! oh well. sunrise began our troll. ~20 min into the troll, triple header brought in 3 long fin, all boated. 20-30lb range. picked up two more yellows (40-50lb range) after that, then steamed back in. boat total = 6 yellow 3 long fin.
hoping the bite stays hot. seems like we're making another run out there this weekend. Are the fish still in the dip? where did they move to???
where are the big eyes?!?!?!
