Canyon Runner Report (19 Yellowfin - 14 on the Chunk) - The Hull Truth

"Canyon Runner" · 08-22-2006, 10:57 PM

Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia along with mate Mike Zajac took the Dave Miguel charter out Monday on an overnighter and got called in by Capt. Mark DeBlasio who left 2 hours earlier and was already right back where they finished up on Saturday. DeBlasio already had 7 in the boat when Dulanie arrived but the bite stayed on for a while and Miguel and his charter went 5 for 6 on the troll. The fish were all nice yellowfin in the 50-75 pound class. The fish were eating Canyon Runner Green Machine bars, bonita plugs, ballyhoo skirted with moldcraft chuggers. Capt. Dulanie ran into the edge in 500 feet of water to set up on the chunk. As soon as the lights came on they had tons and tons of squid around the boat and it was not long before the first bite came on 60 pound flouro and a live squid at 80 feet. They had a real good pick going all night with the best of it from 11pm to 1am and took a bunch of fish on jigs as well as live squid. They ended the evening early at 4:30am going 14 for 16 on 30-45 pound yellowfin on the chunk. In all total they ended the trip with 19 yellowfin (releasing 4).
