Canyon Trip
Got an invite to head out to the canyon Saturday and Sunday and off Matt and I left at 0430 from New Bedford Harbor with my Buddy Bill and a few of his friends. 5 hrs later we set up at the Tails and begin our troll for the day heading toward the break at West Atlantis. We managed to put a few yellows in the boat but not at the rate that we wanted so the captain had us real in and he took off for West Atlantis. Definitely the right choice as we picked away at them all day with a great bite going off late afternoon where we tripled up on monster yellows only to lose one but managed to get two in the boat that dressed out with heads off at 80 lbs each. Did not fish the night bite as I and the rest of the crew needed to catch up on some rest. Back to the troll at 0400 Sunday and immediatley get tight. Guess we should of woke up earlier. Picked away at a few more and pulled the plug at 0900 with weather getting sporting and not much room left in the fish boxes.
