Guys - been at the Mid-Atlantic $500 for the week so that's why no updates - sorry. Just wanted to put a quick one up here though and I'll fill in details tomorrow.

Last night Capt. Mark DeBlasio, Joe Miele and Ryan DiBaggio put the John Dale charter into the best chunking bite of the season. Fishing the Hudson Canyon on our 48 Canyon Runner they brought 30 yellowfin and 1 longfin to the boat. They lost a big sword after a short battle and missed a big-eye on the troll. They had over 40 fish on in the chunk.

I guess this is the true begining of good old school chunking - I hope! Only time will tell and if they get them again tonight it should be on for good. We'll see.

In the MA500 we did not have any big whites but held our own with 11 released in 3 days (we did not submit one of the 11 as an official release as we hooked it 1 minute after lines out while we were clearing the rods for the day).
