Indy II Sharking report June 14/15

Indy II sharking report
Depart Fri 6/14 at 6:30pm from Manasquan inlet; Return Sat 11:00am
Location: east of Triple Wrecks
Water Temp: 60
Report: The only temp chart available when we left the dock was 3 days old. We headed towards 64 degree water on the old chart in the area of chicken canyon. On our way out the water temp was 61 and falling fast. The water temp hit 58 about 10 miles from chicken canyon, so I decided to change coarse. It looks as if the passed days of E and NE wind brought in the cold water from the east. So we headed south. We ran down to the triple wrecks area and only found 60 degree water. But there was some birds working, dolphins and other signs of life in the area. We set up for the drift. Within the first 45 min we had a big runoff on the deep rod (100 ft down) on a bluefish fillet, but we missed him (probably a thresher). We had big blue sharks all over us all night long, releasing 16. At one point we had to keep baits out of the water, until the blue sharks moved on. At 8:00am we hooked a mako on a butterflied fresh bunker (no skirt). It was 70 inches. We took him for the table; we thought we had earned it after a long night of fighting off blue sharks. No bluefish and no dogfish (thank God). Our drift shifted significantly three times during the night. By morning we had drifted in a large oval pattern.

Pretty work! We were heading in the same oval direction until we moved in search of some warmer water too!
