Canyon Runner Report (9&8 Tuna and 90 & 110 Pound Swords) On Friday Captain Phil Dulanie and Mark DeCabia had the Carl Bloomfield charter (with a special appearance by Joe Scott) out to the Hudson Canyon and went right to the chunk right back at the 100-square. They sat in 650 feet of 75 degree water. They got their first bit at 8:30pm when a longfin nailed a sardine 60 feet down. They then had the sword rod go off and after a short fight put a nice 55 inch 90 pound sword in the boat. They then got into a slow pick of yellowfin for the rest of the night and ended with a flurry of longfin around 5 in the morning. They ended the night with 5 yellowfin and 3 longfin plus the sword. The yellowfin were 50-70 pounds. As soon as the sun rose, the boys dropped down and added a few tiles to the mix. It may be sounding like a broken record but again the yellowfin favored sardines down 60-80 feet on 60 pound flouro and hammared diamond jigs.
Adam LaRosa was on Vinny Gallo’s Gallant Lady with Canyon Runner crew members Brad Burgess, Billy Rowan, Mike Zajac, and Mike Gallo and ran out to the 100-square to get a night of chunking in. We anchored in 600 feet of water and got our first bite at 9:30pm on a sardine down 80 feet on 60 pound flouro. We then proceed to pick a fish every time they show on the recorded by either immediately dropping a jig down or adjusting the dead sticks to where they came through. Throughout the night we picked 8 yellowfin and 1 longfin and added a nice fat 58” 110 pound sword. The yellowfin were 50-80 pounds. In the morning we ran over to the west wall in 500 feet of water and picked 10 tilefish in 45 minutes from 5 to 20 pounds.
