55 Hooked Up II/ Cape May/ Yellowfins in 60 lb range were on again yesterday

We had two slow days of trolling for Yellowfins after the blow but yesterday (Wed) we got covered up again with Yellowfins around 10:30 am with one short fast bite but only got one in the boat. It all started for us about that time and the boat within a mile of us boated 6 in a few hours. I am sure we could have had more Yellowfins but we and the other boat left as the seas started to get real nasty and we had long run back to Cape May. I think we had at least 7-8 tuna bites in within a hour or so once the bite started up. Both of us did get a good old fashioned butt kicking on the way home as the winds and seas kept building all afternoon. We were the only two boats out on the tuna grounds yesterday so we had it all to ourselves and the tuna bite when off again similar to what we have seen over the last two weeks. It had been really slow for us after the blow last weekend but picked up again yesterday and late Tuesday in the afternoon for the some of the boats I know that fished after 3:00 pm. 78 degree piss green water but with so much life it really cannot be described without being there and seeing it in person.

Still no night chunk bite yet but the tuna are full of buttefish, sand eels, sardines ect and spitting them up in the cockpit. Can not figure why they are even biting trolled baits or lure but they are.

The mammal life is incredible with hundreds if not thousands of everything including more whales than I have ever seen in my life covering at least a couple of miles. Had 40 footer just yards from our boat all day yesterday and it actually was kind of scarry. Bait piled up 50 feet off the bottom everywhere. It is something to see and probably for most of us a once in a life event as I have never seen so many life as the last few days off the NJ coast.

I feel the Yellowfin day troll bite should continue to be at least good to decent on most days and for a few boats maybe much better than good.
