Canyon Runner 1 & 2 Aug 24-25 (32 Yellowfin & 15 Longfin)

Canyon Runner · 08-25-2005, 02:15 PM

Captain Phil Dulanie had Canyon Runner 1 out with the Frank Cardaci charter from Farmingdale, NJ Wednesday to Thursday and headed to the tip of the Toms Canyon. He ended up trolling up towards the Hudson's west wall where he went 4 for 6 on longfin that ate 9" Canyon Runner rainbow squid bars and ballyhoo. He then turned around and dropped the hook in 550 feet of water. He immediately got into nice yellowfin putting 8 in the boat on squid and sardines on 60 pound flouro when 2 big hammerheads showed up and chased the yellowfin out of the slick. The yellowfin were 40-80 pound fish. They could not rid themselves of the hammerheads all night and never got the yellowfin back. They did however have longfin come into the slick and ended up chunking 11 of those included a few taken on jigs. With 23 fish in the boat they pulled the hook at first light and came home in very rough seas.

Captains Justin Nighan and Mark DeBlasio had the Marcus Bianchi charter from Philadelphia, PA out on Canyon Runner 2 Wednesday to Thursday to the Hudson Canyon but they did not have a touch on the troll and ended up anchored in 550 feet of water. They did not get the yellowfin going until later in the night but never had the problem with sharks that CR1 did so they picked all night with a good shot from 3am on. In total they caught 24 yellowfin with about 12 over 80 pounds and 1 longfin. They only kept 12 tuna and released 13.
