New Jersey Fishing Reports : Today's trolling for Mako-Thresher & Bluefin Report on the 55 Hooked Up

We tried trolling with Vic who made custom tackle designed for Mako and Threshers when he lived and fished out in Southern California. Myself and those on board absolutely loved these rigs and have no doubt they would be highly effective fishing off the Mid-Atlantic Coast for sharks and the only problem today was where we fished it was a absolute desert with no life or bait anywhere. We also tried for a Bluefin but that was a total waste of time with the colder green water everywhere. If they were around we had the spread out to catch them (shark to tuna) but there just was no life anywhere.

We fished the southwest and to the east of the Cigar on just about every hill or drop-off I could find and nothing. Trolling gave us the advantage of covering a lot of turf today and it was nothing short of horrible fishing. I must have talked to at 10-12 boats covering at least 30 total miles to the north and south of us and nobody I talked to had a bite period. That should tell you something as I would run deep way deep to the east on my next shark trip. The boats inside of me along the 20 line did nothing at all today and we were east of them but not nearly east enough.

The one Mako I know about today was lost at the boat but it was nowhere around us and I only know of one caught by anyone the last few days fishing in our region. The water was green and the surface water has dropped from last weekend considerably with the strong NW winds and we had between around 64-65 almost all day except as we were trolling in towards the 20 fathom line it rose to over 67 degrees but again it had no life.

I probably saw no more than 15 seconds of sand eels on the bottom the whole day and scattered Bluefish (about 5 minute total on my machine) all right above the thermocline which was around 35-40 feet all day. We had our baits placed right above the thermocline but it did not make any difference at all.
