Variety offshore
"Fishing on the Patty-J was pretty good," said Nick Chagnon over the weekend. "Despite some pretty rough conditions, the fish seemed to be eating pretty well on the Southwest Corner of the island. We caught about a dozen bass, most were in the 20- to 30-pound range and some pretty big bluefish also. The action only lasted for a short time, however, and our crew decided they had enough fish by about 9:30.
"Also, I fished aboard the Sakarak with Captain Mitch Chagnon on Friday. We caught about half a dozen bluefin tuna from 30 to 35 inches, some green bonito, and false albacore around the Mud Hole. I heard other boats in the area had similar action. We also saw some larger tuna in the 100-pound range crashing a little to the southwest but they went deep before we could hook up."
