RI Mudhole/Fairway bouy report

Got out early am,but we missed the sunrise,and got lines in around 600.Water was 2 degrees either side of 70 all day.We went 1 for 2,on bft estimated at 30 lbs.
We saw 2 bluesharks getting some sun,one of which was a monster.Also saw a leatherback turtle,with a head the size of a trashcan,a few Minke whales,and a big whale I'm not positive,maybe a Finback.
Fish was landed on a green machine,behind a bird,fish lost was on a 6 inch blk/purple jethead spreader bar.We had another fish explode on a bird/green machine,but he missed.
The water(unfortunately)was FAC,and we were alone most of the day,we were expecting a parking lot.Anyhow,it was a great day out,and since it was our first tuna trip this year,we're just glad not to get the skunk.

Yeah,maybe.We're looking for bigger fish,I was thinking of the Cape.We haven't done it before,so we're unsure if we should trailer or steam.Money is always an object,unfortunately.
