Big-eye bite
"Atlantis Canyon has one of the best runs of big-eye tuna we've seen in years," said Al Conti of Snug Harbor Marina this morning. "We seen them up to 250 pounds with some 50- to 80-pound yellowfin mixed in.
"Several boats have been catching them. They're taking the big-eye trolling at first light in the morning or dusk in the evening. Overnight chunking is the way they're taking the yellowfin."
The mahi-mahi that had been close to shore seem to have disappeared, Conti said, but football-sized bluefin generally start to appear on Labor Day weekend if they do come at all.
