Had Ken with son Rich and buddy Nick. Decided to try to hit the Tom's based on the latest sat shots. Arrived at the canyon and was greeted with some sloppy seas. Decided to mahi fish until the seas calmed a bit, landed a bunch of gaffers to start the trip. Went on the troll with no bites, set up for the night chunk again with no bites, decided to Sword/Shark drift, had some runoffs but wasn't sure if they were tuna or swords, wound up battling monster blues sharks all night, with no luck of the desired species. Went back on the chunk at 1-5 am with no luck. Started the troll and with no bites by 8am the crew decided to mahi/tilefish. Landed another dozen gaffers and went tilefishing. Landed our first Blueline Tilefish, rare for the northern canyons. Ken then landed his biggest Golden of his extensive canyon career and our biggest Golden of the year over 30lbs. Total tally 2 dozen gaffer mahi, half a dozen tiles to 30+pounds, lots of big Bluesharks.
