Capt. Phil Dulanie, after having to take a month off fighting pneumonia, was back in the saddle again on Sunday on the 60’ Ritchie Howell Canyon Runner but should have continued to stay home. Fishing Sunday/Monday with the Guy Checcio charter and then again Monday/Tuesday with the Paul Peddretti charter they covered almost all of the Hudson Canyon and up to the Dip and offshore only to catch a total of one yellowfin on Sunday and one white marlin on Tuesday. Chunking was dead and trolling was dead. rnrnCapt. Mark DeBlasio was on the 48’ Canyon Runner Sunday/Monday and again Monday/Tuesday with the Fred Quinto and Mike Lilonsky charters respectively and had the exact same results as the 60’ except they had a few more shots at marlin on Monday afternoon going 1 for 3 on whites and 0 for 1 on a blue that they pulled the hook on. They also added a 41 pound mahi for the Lilonsky charter.rnrnNeedless to say – tuna fishing is horrible. We ended up canceling a charter Tuesday to Wednesday even though the weather was doable as the fishing is just not worth the time, effort and expense. Hopefully the storm coming up the coast shakes things up and the fish will start biting on the other side of the moon.
