Capt. Phil Dulanie and newly minted Capt. John Timken (Congratulations John) along with Brad Burgess and Adam LaRosa took out the Dr. Pat Cuozzo (Fairhaven, NJ) and Jay Garvey (Southern, NJ) on the 60’ Ritchie Howell Friday to Saturday. They headed to where the 48 was finishing up and immediately got into nice yellowfin. Putting the lines in just inshore of the tip of the South Toms canyon in 400 feet of water they trolled 100 yards and nailed a 40 pound yellowfin. Three of the next five yellowfin were 30-35 pounds and then the little ones showed up. Over the next 7 hours from 12:30pm to 8pm they caught a total of 45 yellowfin with 9 in the 25-30 pound range.

The bites were coming on everything obviously be the bigger fish were eating 6” Canyon Runner Rainbow Squid Bars. The little fish were crushing the ballyhoo as we went thru 4 12-packs on the trip. We set up in 500 feet of water just south of the South Toms Canyon on a drift that took us just inshore of the tip of the Carteret Canyon. During that drift we nailed a 193# mako.

Up on the troll in the morning we headed back up to the north by the south Toms and started picking away at the small ones again with another 13 yellowfin including 2 more keepers before we finished off at 8am with 58 yellowfin including 11 nices ones and a nic 15 pound mahi.
