Capt Mark and mate Eddie took the new 55 HOOKED UP 11 down to the Washington Canyon on a overnight trip Tues-Wed and found the tuna big time on this trip. Many of the tuna ate jigs and the highlight was a nice 74 inch Giant Bluefin Tuna caught stand-up by Chris Begley. The group also lost a very big sword and releashed some smaller bluefin under 60 lbs caught on jigs.

Condradulations to Cape Mark, mate Eddie and the great group of guys that joined us on the new 55 HOOKED UP 11.

We will be going back out to the canyons when ever the weather allows thru Thanksgiving weekend and after that will be heading down to Morehead City, NC for the winter giant bluefin season. Contact us if you would like to join us for some great late season tuna action out of Cape May, NJ or the next week or so. Capt Mark can add any details about the trip after he gets some well deserved rest.
