Canyon Runner Donated Striper Trip to SSFFF

The Canyon Runner donated 2 free striper trips to the Save the Summer Flounder Fishery Fund and we took the first of those trips out with us on Saturday, May 1. We fished from Deal to the Shrewbury Rocks and picked bass most of the day. The biggest problem was looking at 10 times the amount of bass we were catching but we just couldn't get them going. The bite was best early rigth up until around 11am.

Bob Cameron won the trip and posted a report about the trip on another website so I’ve copied it below for all to see:

This is Bob’s Report:

Bob "Bates" Cameron won a striper trip @ the SSFFF Dinner and invited Don, Cool Hand Fluke and myself. Left the dock @ 5am and headed north. We jigged 'em up and caught some on the troll. Weird as the fish were busting all over but not hitting the jigs as well as would be expected with such good showing/readings.

We switched from bigger hammered jigs to 027s and 047s to box most of our fish. We finished with our legal limit and totaled 16 fish (keepers and shorts) released. Captain Phil busted his butt all day and Mate Dean was always there to assist.

The boat is a dream (we fished on the 48' Canyon Runner). The "Livingroom" is nicer than my house. Luxury and fishing combined.........who woulda thought.

Thanks again for the trip and look forward to fishing with them in the future.

Canyon Runner Sunday Stripers - Slow

We also fish Sunday, May 2 with the Matt Magidson charter with much different results. The bite was just not on up and down the beach and we only scratched out a couple fish. The crew and charter worked hard all day – but you can’t always limit out.

We cancelled Monday’s trip due to weather but will fishing everyday for the rest of the month so hopefully the fishing stays consistently good.
