10-4 to 10-5 Washington Canyon

whitey · 10-05-2008, 04:14 PM

We left Cape May around 5:30AM on saturday and ran down to the tip of the Washington. We put the lines in at 8:30 and within the first 5 minutes we had something bite off our planer. The day troll was very slow for us and we ended up catching a 36 pound dolphin and managed to catch 1 white marlin on the west wall just as the sun was going down.

We set up for the night on the east notch and were surrounded by squids right away. They were eating the live squids right off our hooks.

Durring the night we managed to keep a few baits down long enough to release a 200 lb hammerhead and went 3 for 4 on swordfish. We took a 58 inch fish to eat and released the other 2.

On sunday morning we got up on the troll and had a double header wahoo bite right away but 1 cut us off on mono and the other pulled the hook after a few minutes. We got everything back in the water and within 5 minutes we caught a 30 pound yellowfin. Once again we got set up and no sooner we were hooked up with another wahoo which we were able to boat. The rest of the morning was uneventfull so we pulled the lines in at 9:30 and ran home.

Hey Andy,

I was out there yesterday as well w/Coop on a 43 Egg Harbor, saw you guys hooked up from a distance. Wish we had spent the night out there since it was a beautiful day and looked like it was setting up to be a gorgous night.

Congrats on your catch and enjoy those swordfish steaks!!!!

Mary

P.S. Got some pics of the boat, I'll email them to you.
