I'll post the whole story later. Fished with Dennis "Aluminator" out of Shelter island. About 9:00 we came up on feeding YFT working small sardines. Jig strikes all around. By noon we had Mexican limits. To show how wide, the last official hoolkup was around noonish: five of six rods went off and we managed to land every fish. Lots of self gaffing going on. After that we switched to a straight Marlin jig spread. Still could not keep the footballs off: must of released at least half a dozen. Yellowfin were running ten to twenty five. Yellows and Dorado were smallish all under fifteen. A couple paddies were just sick with DoDo's and little yellows. It was just a slaughter. Last fish of the day a nice twenty YFT released just fourteen miles from the point. We left them foaming the water just NW of the island. Should be a small skiff mad-house this weekend.

I'll be posting more stats in the update.

Tight lines Jim
