Canyon Runner Fishing Reports and Pics for Last Week - The Hull Truth

Capt Mark DeBlasio was offshore on a day troll Wednesday and hit the Hudson Canyon only to find green water and no life. He proceeded to head out to the 500 fathom tongue and then northeast towards the 500 fathoms of the dip. Half way in between the two canyons on the 500 he had a ton of life - birds, whales and bait and picked one yellowfin on a green machine but did not get any repeats to he kept heading north. He made it all the way into the Dip and then inshore to the 100 fathom line without another bite so he turned back and headed back to where he had his one bite to finish up the trip. Just short of there in 300 fathoms he found the tuna and from 4pm to 6pm had over 20 bites putting 10 nice yellowfin in the 40-70 pound class in the boat. The fish ate almost anything but Canyon Runner Mini-Mamba Spreader Bars, Green Machine Bars and Ballyhoo seemed to produce the best.

Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia with mate Mike Zajac took the Bill Stevens charter out Wednesday to the Hudson Canyon and just kept going until they found nice water. They made it all the way to the tip of the 500 fathom tongue and put the lines in the water. They trolled down the west wall of the 500 fathom line to the southwest corner of the mouth and turned around to where they found the best water on the west wall of the 500 fathom tongue half way between the tip and the mouth. They had the tuna up on top and had a bunch of white marlin in the pattern from 5pm to 8pm but they only produced one white. They ended up calling in a couple boats and those boats got tuna including one boat with 6 yellowfin and 4 longfin in the afternoon troll. They set up on the drift right there for the night chunk and ended up the night without a touch and had to come home to do a turn around. The boat that stayed put a 5 bagger of yellowfin in the boat so the fish were definitely there.
