We had the thrill of the season so far this season on a trip that left Hampton Bays, NY at 3:30 AM last Saturday July 3rd. We headed due south about 90 miles to the Hudson Canyon.
The Hudson Canyon is a submarine canyon about 100 miles east of the mouth of the Hudson River off the coast of NJ. Its wall rise nearly three quarters of mile from the canyon floor making it comparable to the Grand Canyon, cutting through the continental shelf, and having been formed by the Hudson River during the last ice age over 10,000 years ago.
It is a very well known fishing destination for "blue water" deep sea fishing, with large tuna species including yellow fin, blue fin and big eye; and other game fish like Mahi Mahi following the gulf stream north every spring and summer in search of bait such as squid.
We also landed a large Mahi Mahi trolling earlier in the day. These fish are sought due to their beauty, size, food quality and healthy population. Both fish were caught trolling with Ballyhoo.
