Canyon Runner Reports - Sept. 22-26

[Canyon Runner]

Sept. 25-26

Captain Phil Dulanie and Justin Nighan had the Ralph Salermo charter from Elizabeth, NJ out on the Canyon Runner Saturday to Sunday and headed north of the 100 Square of the Hudson up towards the Dip. We had only an hour to troll and look around for bait and it was proving useless but then we got a call from Lou on the Madonna and headed a few miles further north where we ran into the New York fleet that was fishing the Dip and traveled with the tuna down the edge. We were only and hour into chunk when the yellowfin showed up and we went 4 for 5 in a mere 15 minutes. Then they left and never came back. We picked another longfin plus a half dozen mahi the rest of the night. In the morning we chunked well into light and pick one more yellowfin on the jig.

Sept. 24-25

The Canyon Runner headed out Friday to Saturday with the Todd Polumbo charter and got into a nice pick of longfin on the troll in the afternoon around the 100 square of the Hudson putting 4 in the boat before dark. Chunking in the same area produced 6 more tuna plus a 90 pound sword and several mahi. With 10 tuna in the boat plus the sword we headed home at first light.

Sept 22-23
Captain Phil Dulanie took the Frank Cardaci charter from Farmingdale, NJ out on the Canyon Runner Sept. 22-23 and went right to the chunk down around the 100 square of the Hudson Canyon. The night bite produced a pick of yellowfin with the charter going 4 for 8 plus adding a few mahi. Up on the troll in the morning produce another 4 tuna, this time longfin and some more mahi. Most of the trolling action was around the 150/050 corner of the west wall.

I ONLY WISH I HAD BEEN INTO THAT KIND OF ACTION ON MY LAST FISHING TRIP.
