Canyon Runner Striper Reports – Awesome & Horrible & Fish our 60’ Ritchie for Stripers!!

It’s amazing how different two days can be!!

May 4 - On Tuesday, Capt. Phil Dulanie had the Louis Popp charter out on our 48’ Canyon Runner and made the unfortunate decision to head south of Manasquan Inlet. They worked all the way down to Island Beach State Park and had plenty of bait and birds to work all day. Unfortunately the stripers were not cooperating. The party wanted to jig all day long and they put in a great effort only to catch nothing while watch a few of the trollers just very slowly pick away. We hate to see anyone subjected to such a bad day but particularly the great guys that made up this charter – sorry guys.

May 5 - Now Wednesday, (Cinco de Mayo), was another story. Taking an open boat charter out on our 48’ Canyon Runner, Capt. Phil and mate Deane Lambros went north yesterday and made the right call. Running up the beach they found bunker working and quickly made some bait. They ran up the Shrewsbury Rocks and worked some readings which did not produce so they ran back south off of Deal where the bunker were. They read some more fish which immediately responded to the live and fresh dead bunker baits. In about 2 hours they limited out on stripers in the 15 to 30 pound class and had bluefish mixed in as well. They continued to fish and kept on catching totaling 28 bass for the day. The biggest fish of day a nice 40 pounder which was released.



Remaining Dates on 48’ Viking - Wednesday was the first of our open boat striper trips and it was a big hit. We only have May 16, 22, & 31 open in May for full day trips (5am to 3pm) if you want to book the whole boat and no more open boat day trips available. As such, for only $120/person we have plenty of dates open for afternoon open boat trips so please call 732-272-4445 or email me at adam@canyonrunner.com if interested.

Now Booking Striper Trips on 60’ Ritchie Howell “Canyon Runner” - Finally, I was recently actually begged to allow someone to book a trip on our 60’ Ritchie Howell for stripers and relented – and then I thought – why not do more? So if you want to get out on our 60’ Ritchie Howell and enjoy striper fishing in the true lap of luxury give me a call. These trips are leaving from Pt. Pleasant and will obviously be more expensive then our small boat so please call 732-272-4445 or email me at adam@canyonrunner.com if interested or want more information.

Thats the finest striper boat out there for sure, I'd feel bad getting striper slime on her, those boats were not built for rockfish, sweet none the less
