Canyons report
slow trip. same story for most we talked to out there both east and west of us.

fished mostly alone in W. Atl/Atl Fri and Fri night for some mahi and a lost big fish overnight (sword? we'll never know).
2am Stb wouldn;'t start, fuel issue of some kind (i.e. not getting it from filter to engine... pump, solenoid etc..)

came home on 1 screw 13hr at 8kts.
trolled 80 miles from the deep to the mudhole, through the dump etc.. not 1 knock down. devoid of life right now out there!

Sounds like a tough trip...sorry to hear that. Hope all is well with the boat. On the positive side...think of all the fuel you saved on the run home

I know of only one other guy that went out this past weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun) for a two night trip (he was well east of you) and he texted me yesterday, he got 5 yellows and released 2 small yellows along with a few mahi (nothing big) But he was out there 2.5 days and 2 nights, so while it was an OK trip, it was not gangbusters.

I hope to get out one more time this season. I wonder if this weather will shake things up out there?

Jim:
curious to see what we burned on the ride home for sure.

we heard a tough bite overall. a few boats had scattered balls of fish, and we had found some life at dusk and again overnight, and if we had both screws I think we would have had some fish sat AM. just too long of a steam to f-around on one engine so we headed north at first light.

1 edge trip out of ~18-20? with that boat with engine issues is not a bad % and we're pretty cautious.

hope for at leas

saftey rules out there, no shame in packing it in. Glad your home safely. Would hate to be stuck out there last night and today.

A related getting stuck story (way out there) was wriiten about a good friend of mine whom I fish with often. (this happend a few weeks ago)
