We fished wildcat on Sat. Bumpy ride out in the am. Picked up 4 live blues in the race. We were running at 30knts across the shipping lanes when a monster tuna broke water off our port chasing a bluefish. Made the decision to set up our slick there with the chance of catching a giant. We power chummed for about a mile and started the drift in 350-400ft of 68 degree water. Nothing for 2 hours, so I grabbed my cod rod and with 4 drops - market cod, market haddock, 15lb pollack and a monster cusk. Great bottomfishing! Then one of the baloons with a live blue starts bobbin but never comes tight. While my brother is reeling in the line to re-bait a 9-10ft mako swims up to the boat, looks up at us, than dissapears. We have a few smaller blues come into the slick over the next few hours but we couldn't hook one. They kept manageing to strip the live baits without getting hooked. Decided to pick up and head out to the edge of Wildcat around 2pm. Power chummed another slick in 700ft of 70 degree water. Nothing for two hours so we decide it's just not our day. We start reeling in the lines and a small 6 ft blue comes up from the depths and crashes one of the live blues but again misses the hook. We stay another 30 min with the hopes of catching a shark but nothing going. Headed back to plymouth on flat calm seas. Stopped at the middle bank when we were marking some slobs in 50ft of water. Sent down some butterfly jigs but nothing. Still an awesome day on the water with beautiful weather.

Nice report.
We fished in the same depth and I couldn't get a jig to the bottom. Current was ripping. 2 bluedogs for us. We did manage a spin tackle 70" tagged tuna that we broke off while leadering. Fish broke the reel and the rod

Got the snot beat out of us on the way out (couldn't find any of the 2's of the 2'->4's) set up the slick at the S corner of the 'cat where the 600 hole is to drift along the steep contour. Drifting at 2kts with the sea anchor out. Didn't see much for 2 hrs, a shadow here and there, far ballon goes down with a shark sandwich of squid and mackerel, never see leader BINK! odd clean cut in middle of the line. Everything back out, hit close ballon ~'8 blue doggy, goes under boat, didn't release chum buckets, turn boat, prop hits both buckets, buckets quite broken. Salvage a glob of chum put in an eel trap with some of last years freezer burned tuna steaks and mackerel. Nothing. Pod of dolphins come by, hope they're smart enough not to go after shark sandwichs. They didn't. Feed them some squids for being so smart. Call it at 1pm, by the BD can now, batten down. Oh yea mish mash 4'ers. Snotty beating again, I need a 30' Downeast. Stop for ground fishing in a few spots to break up the ride. Ended up releasing 30 cod, kept 10 fatty cod, haddock and pollack and a scuplin. Then no flounders in the river. Long day, possible lesson learned sharking is better in smaller seas and bit less wind, cod tastes better anyways

Never went deep for the porbeagles 20 oz sinker was going almost straight back.
