48' Canyon Runner 6/21-22 Report - (31 Yellowifn/2 Makos) w/Pics

["Canyon Runner"]

Captain Phil Dulanie and Mark DeCabia had out the Dr. John Bednar charter Saturday to Sunday on the 48’ Canyon Runner and ran right to the Spencer canyon area Saturday morning and put her on the troll by 1pm. The fish started to turn on by 2pm and by night fall they had 14 tuna to the boat keeping 8 between 40-70 pounds and releasing the rest. The fish were taken on Canyon Runner Green Machine Bars and Squid Bars and Sevenstrand tuna clones. During the night bite they anchored up and put a 100 pound mako in the boat and released a second one that was around 130. Up on the troll in the morning they picked another 15 yellowfin putting 8 more good ones in the boat again all around 40-60 pounds releasing the rest ending up the trip with 31 yellowfin with 16 between 40-70 pounds.

These are pics from the previous trip!

I am absolutely not saying you guys did anything wrong, I am just curious what the limit is in your area on yellowfin. In mine we can only keep 3 fish per person. Hell-of-ah nice catch Capt.

Five guys in the picture and two crew makes 21 tunas.

3 crew members plus 5 charters - technically you could take 24 yellowfin. However, there are I think 18 in that picture on the bottom. Most trips so far this year we kept less than our limit as we were able to convince the charter to start releasing. That bottom picture was the first trip offshore we took out of our marina and we knew there would be a ton of folks with their hands out for the first fresh sushi of the year when we got back so we kept a bunch.
