Canyon Runner Reports - 8/11-13 (30 Yellowfin)

[Canyon Runner]

Saturday/Sunday - Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia ran the Canyon Runner offshore for a chunking trip Saturday night with the Frank Cardaci charter from ASA Apple. They waited at the dock for the wind to stop blowing and ran right to Lindenchol. Leaving late on Saturday and going out slow due to the remaining swells left over they arrived just before night fall and dropped the hook in 400 feet of water settling back in 450 feet. They had a quick bite immediately putting a nice 70 pound yellowfin in the boat but did not get another shot until 5am. At 5am just before pulling the hook they put a 40-pounder in the boat and then the yellowfin came under the boat in plain sight. In the next 15 minutes they were able to put another 5 nice yellowfin in the boat on live squid and one a jig. They pulled the hook at 6am and came right home.

Sunday/Monday - Capt. Mark DeBlasio took the Joe Terranova charter out on Sunday to Monday and ran to the Hudson Canyon. Capt Mark and Adam noted that the bite down in the Linden was just not that great all around (while Phil had 7 yellowfin 8 other boats caught nothing), there were reports of boats doing well in the Dip and the same water in the Dip was just offshore of the Hudson so the decision was made to head that way. On his way into the Hudson he heard of a slow pick at the tip and ran up that way only to watch a couple fish caught but not on his boat. He ran down to the east elbow and trolled out to the edge and dropped in for the night bite but not before releasing a nice white marlin that ate a ballyhoo. He picked a few yellowfin up unitl 2:30am when it broke wide open. Sardines and live squid on 80 pound flouro accounted for many of the fish but so too did our Canyon Runner hammered jigs with heavy duty swivels and 4X strength treble hooks - taking over 8 of the yellowfin. He finished the night 21 for 35 and many of the yellowfin were in the 70 pound class or a little better. He was on his way home at first light.

Sunday/Monday - Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia with mate Mike Zajac took the Jim Kelly charter out to the Hudson as the bite in the Lindenchol was not as great as expected and they figured the water on the SAT shots looked good so off they went. They pulled into the Tip in on a very slow pick on the troll and caught nothing. They trolled down the west wall without a touch and set up for the night bite. They picked a fish an hour putting one 52" sword in the boat and releasing a barely legal one and also boated 2 yellowfin around 80 pounds. However, after mid-night they did not get another touch. When Capt. Mark on the HU2 got them going thick around 3:30am they pulled the hook and ran over to the 100-square but missed out on the bite only missing one yellowfin on the jig when the hook pulled.
