Canyon Runner 9/11-12 - 10 for 12 on Yellowfin and Bluefin

[Canyon Runner]

Capt. Mark DeBlasio got out on Saturday to Sunday with an open boat charter September 11-12. Capt Ty McGowan and Capt Ryan DiBagio were in the pit as they ran to the Hudson Canyon. They arrived around 3pm and by 6pm had a nice pick of fish in the boat. They went 5 for 7 on yellowfin on the afternoon troll with most of the fish in the 60-80 pound class along with a couple 35 pounders.

The night proved uneventful except for a 100 pound sword swimming around the boat that did not bite. In the morning, after hearing of a great Bluefin bite inshore they decided to make the run and it proved the right call. Trolling inbetween the Virginia and Bacardi they ended up with another 5 fish and missed a couple. They kept 2 bluefin with one over and one under and also picked a nice yellowfin in there as well. They released 2 other Bluefin and lost 1.
