Default Re: mudhole help

The Mudhole is a huge area. Inside is Monster Ledge with the deepest water- about 280-290. Further out in the Mudhole is the Glory Hole. That's another hit or miss with monsters or just ordinary bluefish you could have caught a mile off the beach. Then to SE of that is Chicken Canyon. THen Triple Wrecks and Baccardi and then Texas Tower. AT that point you're in striking distance of the West Wall of Hudson Canyon.

The Mudhole is the crater coming out of the NY Bight that points at Hudson Canyon. An offshore chart will show the pattern.

Oft times that can be a 50 mile round trip for chopper bluefish too.

ON good days where you can run 30 knots and hit then all in less that two hours. But be prepared. You are WAY out of VHF range to shore out there.

All food for thought. Buddy up with another boat?
