Canyon Runner On Line and Report from last night

[Canyon Runner]

The Crew of the Canyon Runner are happy to join Sportfishermen.com and plan on being significant contributors. To kick it off here is the report from last night. Right now the boat is anchored on the West Wall and reading the bait and a few tuna come under the boat but with no bites thus far.

Last Night ----

Captain Phil Dulanie and mates Burt Rothenberg and Justin Nighan got back out Tuesday after the blow and got right into fish. Checking the water temp charts before departure we decided on the Hudson and it was the right choice as the southern canyons provided only a pick. Trolling on the east wall produced a good bite of longfin and an occasional yellowfin but unfortunately the Dave Miguel charter from Lipinski Landscaping dropped more fish then they hooked on the troll going 3 for 7. However, they redeemed themselves at night picking 11 tuna including a longfin, a couple bluefin and the rest yellowfin. They also added a 100 pound mako and 90 pound sword for the evening and were on their way home at 7am with 14 tuna the mako and sword to their credit.

Thank's for the report guy's . I have a question either you can answer or someone else. I have been running one very long shark bait when laying up over night and have not had any success getting a shark hookup .

Now I have had a ton of sharks hit my chunk baits witch always ends up being a break off after a minute or 2. Do you all use a pitch bait when you see a shark move into the slick or do you run a long shark bait or 3rd are you just that good that you bring them in on a Fluorocarbon leader ?

We never put out a long bait for a shark. Instead we put out a deep bait for swords. What we do is always have a large squid rigged for a pitch bait on wire for any mako that comes into out slick. However, 50% of the makos we catch at night in the canyons are caught on 80 pound flouro leader with a circle hook. We just get lucky that the circle hooks works perfectly and gets them right in the corner of the mouth.

How are you trying to hookup? With sharks, I'm roughly 80-90% on hookups when we get a bite. The thing with sharks is that they pick up a bait and run with it a short way. Then they stop, eat it, and move off again. Wait for the fish to stop & take off again. Set the hook early into the second run. I think your success rate will improve dramatically.

I know every charter group we had was chomping at the bit to set the hook right away. Most people think they've lost the fish when it stops and start winding in the bait to check it. That's when you loose the fish. Have patience & you'll have shracks.

I do very well with hook ups when im strickly shark fishing . Its on the chunk the gets me messed up . I try a long shark bait and they always take a butterfish on a chunking hook witch i have brocken off every shark.

Im thinking they must be setting there line fast to try and get that circle hook up in the jaw so they are not getting up on the flourocarbon !
