Blue Ocean Sportfishing: Sharking 6/25/08

[fountain17]

South of the Coimbra yesterday (29 Miles south of Shinnecock Inlet NY): 1st trip of the year.

Water temp 67.1 to 67.8 Blue/Green NW wind seas 2-3; 172-190 feet of water

Absolute ton of life, whales and dolphin all over early am 8:30-10am and again from 3-4 PM working butterfish

5 or 6 blue dogs, pretty small...released...1 mako at 75 lbs or so released.......1 mako at the boat around 175lbs that hung around for 20 minutes and wouldn't take the pitch baits.... very frustrating....oh well....all baits at 30, 60 and 90 feet.... few other boats withing 10 mile radius.....talk on the radio was mostly the same thing but a couple of boats hooked up with a couple makos going to 225 and 1 report of a small thresher.

Will have some video up later today/tomorrow.

Nice day on the water with friends.

Tight lines all!
