Captains Andy and Rich hook up with their good friend Steve Palmo to fish the 1st Annual Jones Inlet Marine Tournament. Along with Captains Skip Erickson and Brendan Murphy. The guys go west of the Hudson Canyon and get into and excellent yellowfin tuna bite with fish on the troll up to 70lbs. The tournament is won with a 206lb bigeye tuna.
‘We really had a fun trip, though we were disappointed we did not run across any Bigeye tuna. Conditions were perfect and we also got into a fun chunking bite just around dawn, but the fish were small. It’s a shame the the Jones Inlet operation did not survive very long, this event could have had a very nice future.” Capt Andy LoCascio
