Anyone have an opinion on the potential for successful trolling inside the Canyon this weekend? Looking for Tuna, Mahi, etc. anywhere from the Texas Tower to the Glory Hole, Virginia etc. Boat can't quite make the Canyon Run.

Good word

From a reliable source,mon 6 yellows 40 to 60lbs.
Wed 7 yellows 40-60lbs 2 big eye 110lbs,
big eyes had no fat,not worth much.My freind bought these fish,and was tolled they were caught in the hudson,area not being given out.
You guys can believe what you want,there,here,& have been since mon.

Hey Pursuit, went trolling from the oil wreck,monster ledge, to the lillian
found clean green water but not much of any life, however did see some 5-10
pound mahi's hanging buy a pot near the lillian,threw live peanut bunker at them but they weren't interested. Good Luck.

Andrea's Toy - Thanks for the input. I think I'm gonna bag the trolling idea and set-up for Shark instead. I've been reading that the makos are small but close to shore. I usually run from Rockaway Inlet to the Glory Hole or the Virginia but that's about 50 NM. Think I'll try a little closer this time. Maybe the Yankee or the Jersey wrecks like the Arundo.

me,too

I'm based in the same area,Broad Channel to be more precise.I was hoping to get out today but I'm still nursing a bad cold.I fish the same areas as you .I like to stay within 40 miles or so of Breezy Point.I'm busy for the next couple of weekends ,so I won't be going offshore til 8/24,when I start my 2 week vacation,and maybe a couple other trips too.
If you do get out,please send me a PM as to how you did.It seems that noone posts too many reports of those spots so when folks like us want to fish them ,we go out blind.
The problem I have too often is I cannot seem to get a crew to go out.That has gotten so bad that I have not had my boat offshore the last 2 seasons.Last year ,my wife and I went out on a 24 hour party boat out of Staten Island to the canyon.She wants to do the same thing next month.She likes the much bigger boat,and the cost is about what it would cost us to take our boat out for the day ,plus we don't have to clean the boat or the fish that way.
Anyway,good luck and calm seas.
Pete
