Canyon Runner Overnighter (12 Yellowfin & 2 Longfin) - July 25-26

[Canyon Runner]

Captains Phil Dulanie and Mark DeCabia along with mate Mike Gallo had the Matt Cerino charter out on the Canyon Runner for a Tuesday/Wednesday overnighter. The ride out right into the teeth of a 20 knot SE wind was not fun and they did not get to the Lindencohl until 8:30pm so they went right to the chunk. They had more squid then they’ve seen in years and ended up filling a cooler with them. In addition they pulled a dozen mahi out of the slick but had no tuna bites. Up on the troll at 5am they quickly went 3 for 3 on 20-30 pound yellowfin at the Lindy and then worked off to the deep where they pulled 3 big longfin in the 50-55 pound class. Unfortunately the third longfin did not make it in the boat as a huge tiger shark got it instead. They worked that area for a while and they moved inshore where they did a couple more singles on yellowfin and then went 7 for 9 again on 20-30 pound yellowfin and missed a white. The tuna ate Canyon Runner 9 Inch Rainbow Bars and Ballyhoo.

So what you're saying is its probably a bad idea for me to try spearfishing with my new gun sun. when we run out there again?

I am serious about this, i have heard alot of tiger sharks in the area.

I didn't use to think twice about going for a dip in the middle of the day or at the end of the day if we stopped for a minute or two. In the last 3 weeks I've seen at least 10 BIG tigers mixed in with all the bait, whales and life. You're a better man then me brother but I don't want to get mixed up with bait or put myself into the food chain bc they all came right next to the boat and stuck around to check us out and two of them took a whack at our baits.
If you're going in I would do it without having one or two guys as lookouts for you that are in the water too.

Nice trip guys!

Yeah they are a curious but NOT very friendly shark.
