Capt. Mark DeCabia and Capt. John Timken had the Anthony Electric charter out on the 48 Canyon Runner Tuesday to Wednesday and put together another excellent trip. They tried the inshore bluefin grounds which don’t seem to be as automatic as they once were and struck out. They then tried mahi fishing on the pots which seem to have gotten hammered of late by the party boats and others fishing the edge. So they anchored up in the Hudson Canyon on the east wall by the mouth and sent out the night time spread.

By 8:30pm they boxed up a 180 pound big-eye and released a small sword and then the action really turned on. The yellowfin started to show and an even dozen were put in the boat with almost all in the 25-30 pound class with one at 50 pounds. They also nailed a big longfin and a few mahi. The night was also interrupted with another sword in the 150# class that they had under the boat for a while but eventually pulled the hook on before getting a chance to throw the Poon. The ran home at first light to do a turn around and due to the fact that the trolling bite is almost none existent on tuna.
