Canyon Runner Aug 3-7 (47 Tuna in 3 trips)

Canyon Runner · 08-10-2005, 08:19 AM

August 6-7 - Captains Phil Dulanie, Kevin Gerrity, and Greg Ryback had the Pedro Rodriguez charter from Rumson, NJ out on the Canyon Runner for a rare Saturday-Sunday overnighter and headed east until they did not see anymore boats. They started working the troll and had a 7 baggers of yellowfin out of 9 bites. They put 5 in the boat and released 2 smaller ones. The ones in the boat were 40-50 pounds. With 9 rods going off they ate everything including green Canyon Runner mini-mamba bars and ballyhoo however our squid bars were not touch. That was the only bite on the troll. They set up on the chunk and drifted only 1 mile the entire night with no wind or current. They picked one yellowfin around 60 pounds that ate a live squid and in the morning as they were cleaning up and throwing all the chum over they had longfin come in the slick and picked two quick ones around 40 pounds in 450 feet of water making a total of 10 tuna for the trip.

August 4-5 Captains Phil Dulanie, Mark DeBlasio and Justion Nighan headed right back out to the 100square area with the Dave Babish charter from Philadelphia, PA on Thursday and got in 1.5 hours of trolling but did not have a touch. They set up on the drift in almost exactly they same place as the night before and drifted in 450-500 feet of water. They had their first bite at 1am and then went 5 for 6 through the night on 50 pound yellowfin release one small one. They had all the bait they wanted but not the hot bite of the night before. They ended their drfit almost right on the 100-square. Up on the troll in the morning it was crowded over on the east side so they left and went over to the west wall where they picked one more longfin.

August 3-4 - Captain Phil Dulanie, Justin Nighan and Mark DeBlasio had the Ed Picavz charter out Wednesday to Thursday and crushed the yellowfin on the troll and the CHUNK. They pulled into the Hudson Canyon around 3pm and by 6pm had gone 12 for 13 on the troll with Canyon Runner mini-mamba bars in green and purple/black and ballyhoo doing best. The schools of yellowfin were busting the surface on the east wall and they only had to troll through a couple schools before getting them to bite but eventually they did 5 for 6, 6 for 6 and a single. Just before setting up for the night they also pulled a little big-eye of 70 pounds. The rest of the tuna were 50 pound yellowfin. The big-eye ate a 9" rainbow spreader bar. As soon as they set up on the chunk they immediately had squid shooting through the slick and things looked alot better than previous trips. Then things got alot better. They picked their first 2 fish at 10pm and then pick a single every hour until 3pm when all hell broke loose and the fish were right up behind the boat. It seemed that all they wanted were fresh squid as boxed squid and chunks did not produce. They had most of the bites on 60 pound flouro leader. They ended their drift in the deep with 18 tuna caught on the chunk from 60-90 pounds and were headed home at 6am.
