Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia took the Steve Barry charter from Middletown,NJ out on the Canyon Runner Thursday/Friday and headed right down to the 100-square but found a ton of boats already set up and heard from the party boats that Wednesday night was not a good one at the square. With no place to drop in they headed over the the 150/050 and found yellowfin on top and bait all over the recorder so they dropped in in 550 feet and immediately had a small sword that they released. They had a ton of bait around the boat all night and by 11pm got the fish going on hammered diamond jigs and squid on 60-flouro down 80-100 feet. The bite was best from 2am to 4:30am when they started to release as they were all boxed up. They finished the night with a 100 pound yellowfin at day break that they put in the boat in the fish bag. When the dust settle they had 19 yellowfin and 2 longfin in the boat and released another 10 tuna for a total of 31 for the evening. |
