Billy Nye of nye automotive group, syracuse,ny and friends joined capt's kevin gerrity and dave bender for their annual overnighter. inspite of pleas from us to reschedule due to the lack of tuna around billy insisited we go and ,make the best of it. we stopped on the bluefin grounds at the tail end of a good jigging bite and we had a 35 pounder hit the deck almost immediatley on a butterfly jig, but that was it, so we steamed off to the hudson canyon. the afternoon troll was uneventful, although we marked a ton of bait. we also saw at least 50 rays airing out during the day, and several finback whales. the chunk was equally dissapointing, we lost a nice swordfish on the shark rig? and had 6 bites from the rays, including several being jigged on the butterflies. back on the troll in the morning we had a double header of white marlin and boated one. we enjoy these guys company and they certainly did make the most of their trip, we'll see them again next year for another adventure.
