Canyon Runner Reports (28 Yellowfin, 4 & 6 Plus Marlins/Sword) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capt. Mark DeBlasio and mate Eddie Farrell took the Rich Alverdo and Lance Seeton charter from Philadelphia out on the Hooked Up II Thursday and arrived on the edge between the Hudson and Toms and they had yellowfin up on top and got them to bite immediately. Trolling Canyon Runner Green Machine Spreader Bars, Green Machines behind birds, and zucchini tuna clones and ballyhoo. They put 8 yellowifn in the boat on the troll from 2pm to 6pm and Rich’s girlfriend Megan fought a blue marlin in the 175 pound class to within 5 feet of the leader before the hooked pulled. They set up just inshore in 500 feet of water and had fish immediately and caught another 20 fish (they kept their limit and released the rest). All the fish on the chunk were in the 30-50 pound class and squid on 60 pound flouro was the key as well as alot of fish being taken on hammered diamond jigs.
Both Capts Phil Dulanie and Mark DeBlasio took the Canyon Runner and Hooked Up 2 back out to the area they've been fishing between the Hudson and the Toms Canyons and got half way there Friday afternoon and the wind came up. The forecast had been for it to hold off until Saturday but it came on strong. With the fishing so good and the weather only providing for an uncomfortable 3-5 with an occasional 6 footer they keep going and put it on the troll halfway between the Hudson and the Toms. The troll bite was not hot as they could not longer site fish but Phil ended the afternoon with 3 yellowfin and Mark released a white and had a yellowfin. On the chunk Capt. Mark sat at 500 feet and Capt. Phil sat a mile south in 550 feet again halfway between the Hudson and Toms. Mark picked 5 yellowfin on the night chunk plus a small sword that he released and Capt. Phil only had 1. The wind really came up in the middle of the night and with some meat in the boat and some sick folks on the boat they came home at first light.
