REPORTS OF RIVER, BAY AND OCEAN FISHING
John & George O'Connor of Atlantic Highlands, weighed in a 308 lb. Swordfish caught Sunday night. On their 24ft' boat the "Reel Fun Too" they lived up to their vessels name. Using butterfish on a 15kg with 50lb test on a short stick, they fought it for 5 hours. They utilized light sticks as well. They trailer their single screw diesel boat out of the harbor and w/ sword in tow stopped at Pete's Tackle Shop, who did not have a hanging scale. They called Big Ed on our dock and he advised them to come by boat because our scale is at the end of the dock, and we do not have a wagon! Running on pure adrenaline, they re-launched off their trailer and came up the river for the weigh-in and photos at Bahrs Landing. More Pics http://bahrs.com/swor30.html
Blue Marlin..."King Of The Canyon".
On Saturday, Brian Orio weighs in his boat's awesome catch - a 580lb Blue Marlin taken in the Hudson Canyon. The State record is over 1000lbs. One of the biggest Fish to be weighed in to Bahrs Landing since 1987 530lb mako.
Captain Brian Orio skippered the "Baby Anna" in the Hudson Canyon on a Friday/Saturday trip for his boss Arman Hovnanian, Middletown. Using a rigged horse ballyhoo, they trolled him up early Saturday morning. He hit the biggest bait the furthest out in the set. The big blue did put on a show as Arman Sr. fought him for over an hour and a half. After chunking 15 yellowfin overnight, they were going to tag and release but it was wrapped in the line at the boat.
