60 Canyon Runner 10/3-4 15 Yellowfin & Sword
Capt. Mark DeCabia and Capt. Phil Dulanie had the 60 Ritchie Howell Canyon Runner out Saturday to Sunday in what turned out to be a rough ride out but a nice night and even better Sunday. Fishing with the John Dale they pushed through some nasty seas from 20-40 miles out but as they got closer to the edge the nicer it got. They set up in the Carteret Canyon just before dark on the anchor and started chunking. Their first fish of the night was on the sword rod and turned out to be a 90 pounder. They then started a nice pick of yellowfin with 3 by 9pm, 6 by mid-night and 15 when the sun came up. The yellowfin came in quick flurries and most of the fish came on hammered diamond jigs and working rods with sardines. Again there was not a lot of squid under the boat the entire evening.
48 Canyon Runner 10/1-2 15 Yellowfin
Capt. Phil Dulanie had the 48 Canyon Runner out Thursday to Friday with an open boat charter in what ended up being a small window of weather. They got to the Toms Canyon around 1pm and started trolling and spent the next 5 hours without a touch and without a sign of life. However, as soon as the sun set the yellowfin showed up in force unfortunately just prior to the sun setting so did the wind. It never laid down all day Thursday and by sun set it was a sustained 20 with higher gusts. Prior to midnight they were taking a few waves into the cockpit and this weather led to a lot more fish lost then usually or they would have been limited out by midnight. By 9:30pm they were 10 for 15 and by midnight 15 for about 30. They did not get any other bites after putting the 15th fish in the boat. Most of the fish were caught on jigs and sardines. They hardly had any bait under the boat the entire night but that did not seem to hurt.
OPEN BOAT TRIPS ON THE 60 RITCHIE HOWELL CANYON RUNNER
Guys I also wanted to give everyone a heads up that we are going to offer a couple open boat trips on our 60 Ritchie Howell. We normally do not do this but the 48 Canyon Runner is going giant tuna fishing starting October 13 and with a brand new eddy moving into the Hudson Canyon by the end of this week we expect another month of canyon trips going into November. As such we have a few dates left to book and will be doing a few open boat trips. These trips are $950 per spot and that includes the tip. Dates including:
October 14-15 (1 spot)
October 21-22 (2 spots)
October 27-28 or 28-29 (4 spots)
