Capt. Mark DeBlasio and Capt. Tom Kelly and mate Ty McGowan had the Todd Balestro charter out Sunday to Monday and ran right to where we had them Saturday on the west wall of the Hudson Canyon by the letters but working that area for hours only produced 2 yellowfin on Canyon Runner green machine bars. Getting a call from Capt. Dulanie who had just come into the Hudson at 3pm he ran up to the bombs and dropped them in just south of that area and immediately nailed a 3 bagged of nice yellowfin in the 50 pound class on bars and ballyhoo. Working that area until 8pm just before dark he got a 4 bagger of yellowfin and set up for the night with 9 nice yellowfin in the box. His night time was actually a little eventful as a 53 inch sword grabbed the sword bait down 200 feet and was quickly subdued and boated. Up on the troll in the morning he picked 2 more yellowfin again right by the Bombs and again on our spreader bars and ballyhoo and went home with 11.
Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia with mate Mike Zajac took the Jim Dale charter out Sunday morning for an overnighter and were running back to where we had them Saturday when they got a call from a boat in on the tip that had a nice catch Sunday morning on the troll so they turned up the line slightly and put them in at the Bombs. They were not trolling 10 minutes when they put their first yellowfin in the boat on a green machine daisy chain behind a bird and then got a double header of big-eyes putting a 130-pounder in the boat on a ballyhoo and pulling the hook on a 150-pounder 10 feet from the harpoon. That fish was on a zucchini tuna clone. They were all hooked in 550 feet of water just west of the Bombs in the Hudson Canyon. They also added another nice yellowfin on a Canyon Runner 6” rainbow squid bar shortly after getting back up on the troll. They worked over to the east notch and then back to the bombs and continued to read bait but could not get another bait and all they pulled the rest of the afternoon was another nice yellowfin ending the afternoon bite with 4 yellowfin and the eye-ball. At night they drifted right on those numbers and did not have a touch. Up on the troll in the morning they also struck out.
