Capt. Phil Dulanie left Friday morning early and ran down to 19Fathom Lump and did not have a touch with the Greg Stiem charter so he picked up and ran to Massey's Canyon and dropped the anchor. There he read tons and tons of bait and bluefin but had 60 boats within a mile radius of him and the fish never went on the feed. He picked 2 45" blueifn in there in the 40-50 pound class and at 11am ran to the Wilmington. In the Wilmington working the east wall for tile fish the current was too fast so they trolled to the east corner of mouth across to the west croner and up to the notch on the west wall rasiing one white and releasing a small yellowfin.

Adam LaRosa arrived at Massey's at 1pm on Friday afternoon on a friends boat and found only a few boats left fishing there. He ran right to Capt. Phil's numbers on the east tip of Massey's in 114 feet of water and immediately read bait and tons and tons tuna and put her on the drift. Within minutes they had nice yellowfin and bluefin on hammered diamond jigs both 8 and 10 oz with treble hooks. We hooked over 25 bluefin and 1 yellowfin in th next 5 hours releasing 12 bluefin keeping our limit. On the drift at night we added a small mako and a nice mahi.

Capt. Mark ran the Gene Croddick charter to the Baltimore canyon but left very late Friday afternoon so did not get set up at the tip until 9pm and missed out on the bluefin chunking Adam was into on Massey's gettign there too late. The crew chunked one yellowfin at night and trolled 2 in the morning but had to leave very early to get home or would have ran inshore to get in on some of the great bluefin action on the lumps 15-20 miles inshore of the tip.
