Alright you salty dogs, Captain Jack here with your weekly offshore intelligence briefing. We've been burning the midnight oil, cross-referencing data from over 40 sources to bring you the most accurate and actionable report on the water. The weather has been a real pain in the neck, but when we've had a window, the fishing has been nothing short of epic. Let's get into it.
Hudson Canyon - November 14, 2025
The Hudson has been the hot spot for those willing to make the run. We're seeing a healthy mix of yellowfin and bigeye, with some real quality fish in the mix. The boys on the Bluefin IV have been finding success trolling spreader bars on the west wall, with reports of fish up to 150 pounds. The water temps are holding in the low 60s, with a nice temperature break setting up just inside the canyon. The key has been to find the bait, which has been a mix of squid and mackerel.
Atlantis Canyon - November 14, 2025
Atlantis has been a bit more hit-or-miss, but there are still fish to be had. The Rock Fish Charters crew has been working the area hard, and they're finding a steady pick of yellowfin and mahi-mahi. The key here has been to find the warmer water, which has been pushed a little further offshore. The water temps are in the high 50s, so you'll need to cover some ground to find the fish. Trolling has been the most productive method, but we're also hearing of some success with jigging.
Block Canyon - November 14, 2025
Block has been a bit of a ghost town this week. The water temps have dropped into the mid-50s, and the fish seem to have moved on. We're not hearing much in the way of reports from this area, but we'll keep our ears to the ground. If you're heading out this way, I'd recommend having a backup plan.
Toms Canyon - November 14, 2025
Similar to Block, Toms has been a bit quiet. The water temps are in the mid-50s, and the bait seems to have thinned out. We're not hearing much in the way of reports from this area, but we'll keep you posted if anything changes.
Fishtails/Bacardi Grounds - November 14, 2025
The Fishtails and Bacardi Grounds have been producing some nice fish for those who are putting in the time. The Alyssa Ann Sportfishing team has been finding a steady pick of yellowfin and mahi-mahi in this area. The water temps are in the high 50s, and the key has been to find the bait, which has been a mix of squid and mackerel. Trolling has been the most productive method, but we're also hearing of some success with jigging.
Montauk Offshore Grounds - November 14, 2025
The Montauk offshore grounds have been on fire. We're seeing a great mix of yellowfin, bigeye, and even some bluefin in the mix. The Lady Grace Charters and Finall-ey Fishing crews have been all over the fish, with reports of fish up to 200 pounds. The water temps are in the low 60s, and the bait is thick. Trolling has been the most productive method, but we're also hearing of some success with jigging.
72-Hour Predictive Forecast
The weather is looking a little dicey for the next 72 hours, with a strong northwest wind in the forecast. This is going to make it tough to get offshore, but if you can find a window, the fishing should be excellent. The water temps are still holding, and the bait is thick. I expect the bite to stay strong right through the weekend. As always, be safe out there and watch the weather closely.
