Capt. Mark DeBlasio was back at it Monday on an overnighter on the Hooked-Up 2 and ran back to where we were Saturday in 300 fathoms of water and found the fish back on top. Trolling that area with the Jim Sullivan charter from Prudential they got into a great bite of nice size yellowfin in the 40-70 pound class and in 2 hours of trolling put 14 yellowfin in the boat. The fish ate Canyon Runner Green Machine bars, bonita plugs, and ballyhoo skirts with mini-mambas(green). The tuna bite slowed day after 4pm as all he did was pick another yellowfin but the marlin bite turned on. They first went 1 for 2 on white marlin releasing one that ate a green machine and then a nice blue marlin crashed the pattern. It missed the baits in tight and ended up hanging itself on a green machine behind a bird long down the middle. They fought the blue for 45 minutes and ended up with the release of the 350-400 pound Blue. Instead of staying the night with a great catch already in the boat they left to come early and got back to the dock in the middle of the night with 15 40-70 pound yellowfin on ice and a Blue Marlin and White Marlin release.
Attached is a nice picture of Capt. Mark releasing the Blue.
