Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia with mate Mike Zajac took the Bill Stevens charter out Wednesday to the Hudson Canyon and just kept going until they found nice water. They made it all the way to the tip of the 500 fathom tongue and put the lines in the water. They trolled down the west wall of the 500 fathom line to the southwest corner of the mouth and turned around to where they found the best water on the west wall of the 500 fathom tongue half way between the tip and the mouth. They had the tuna up on top and had a bunch of white marlin in the pattern from 5pm to 8pm but they only produced one white. They ended up calling in a couple boats and those boats got tuna including one boat with 6 yellowfin and 4 longfin in the afternoon troll. They set up on the drift right there for the night chunk and ended up the night without a touch and had to come home to do a turn around. The boat that stayed put a 5 bagger of yellowfin in the boat so the fish were definitely there. |
