Report:
Left Ocean City inlet at around 6 am and arrived at the poorman canyon by 8 and immediatly started chinking. Before we could even get all are lines in the water we had a knock down. For the next four hours we expierenced what can only be described as an absoultely wide open tuna bite. There were at least 30 boats out there and and at any give time you could look around and see at least ten boats hooked up. I can't believe it took until November for the fish to arrive but I guess better late than never. We ended up keeping six yellowfins between 50-60lbs and let four go. Remember when they are biting like that only take what your going to consume. Had a buddy fish the washington canyon and pretty much recieved the same report. Also had a fried fish in the 40 fathom area with a small fleet of boats and he said the bite was the same there.
