Canyon Runner Reports (3 Whites Each and 8 & 13 Yellowfin) - The Hull Truth

"Canyon Runner" · 08-20-2006, 12:45 PM

Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia along with mate Mike Zajac took the Damien Romeo charter out to the Hudson Thursday to Friday for an overnighter and reached the southwest corner of 100 fathom line around 6pm then ran 3 more miles off the edge until they found nicer water. They put it on the troll there and then trolled down to Mark DeBlasio who had just boated a longfin. Once they got there they had all the life and bait they wanted but could not raise a tuna to the pattern. At 9pm they headed into the edge back in at 100 fathoms and set up for the night chunk. They chuncked hard in there and finally got a good chunk bite going on live squid and sardines on 60 pound flouro. By 4am they had gone 8 for 12 on 30-50 pound yellowfin and put a nice 140 pound mako in the boat. The charter then informed them that they wanted to catch a marlin so they got up on the troll early at 4:30am and by 6am they did a double on white marlin back offshore in 300 fathoms of 78.5 degree water. Just before ending the trip at 8am they hooked another white and released that as well going 3 for 4 on white in just a few hours of trolling.

Capt. Mark DeBlasio had Lane out on an overnighter Thursday to Friday on the Hooked Up 2 and headed out to where Phil finished up on Thursday morning just south of the Hudson Canyon in 300 fathoms of 78.5 degree water and found the nice water and picked 1 yellowfin and missed two trolling from 2pm to 8pm and went 1 for 2 on white marlin. But again like with our buddy Wednesday the fish came up for Mark late at 8:30pm and he went 6 for 7 on big yellowfin from 60-110 pounds. The fish ate everything but Canyon Runner Green Machine bars and Purple/Black squid were attacked along with a green machine behind a bird and ballyhoo. The shot of 6 tuna were in 250 fathoms. Capt. Mark decided to drift there for the night but did not get a bite on the chunk. Up on the troll in the morning he quickly went 2 for 3 on whites and then around 8am got another barrage of yellowfin going 6 for 8 on again nice yellowfin up to 110 pounds. Again they ate almost everything in the pattern. Mark and came home with 3 whites and 13 yellowfin including 2 over 100 pounds.

Thanks guys!!!

Actually the 58' Viking stayed down in Florida/Bahamas this summer and is being used only for extended trips to the Bahamas.

The second boat up here this summer which is run by Capt. Mark DeBlasio is a 55' Custom Carolina called the Hooked Up 2. Capt. Mark occasionally runs trips on that boat in Cape May for Caveman Sportfishing and he brought it up to Manasquan to take our over flow business on overnighters for the chunking season. Capt. Mark Blasio will also be running over Florida charter this winter along with Capt. Mark DeCabia.
