We got to the edge at 8pm and dropped the hook at the northeast corner in 500 feet of water and we had the bait quickly and by mid-night had 5 yellowfin and 2 swords with on in the boat at 55 and released one around 46 . Between 3am and first light we put a few more tuna in the boat and came home around 7am.
They had fish under the boat early but did not get them going until around 10pm when a steady pick ensued. The charter had enough fish but kept on catching releasing another 7.
Soon afterwords the yellowfin came on and they pick 10 fish by 2am when it got really good. From 2am to 5am they put another 10 yellowfin in the boat and released 6.
They ran down to the Toms Canyon to try and get ahead of the fish and trolled from the tip down to South Toms before setting up on the chunk. Live squid and our hammered diamond jigs wiht 4x strength treble hooks took most of the fish and they finished the evening going 26 for 35 on nice 60-80 pound yellowfin.
They found the longfin and went 6 for 8 on them and also released a nice white marlin. They worked their way down the edge and pulled a nice yellowfin on the troll before setting up right there for the night.
Capt. Mark DeBlasio snook the Mike Fasciglioae charter out on the Hooked Up 2 and leaving the dock late after the wind died down they shot right to the Lindenchol where the edge of the water was that we've been fishing in. They set up in the Lindy and had a couple bites there but the water slide out from under them so they ran south back into the water and put the boat on the drift but only picked a couple more.
They immediately caught a ton of squid and put every rod out with a live squid. They started to pick fish early but it slowed down and they only ended the night with 5 yellowfin but spiced up the trip with a nice 150 sword that ate a live squid down 70 feet on 60 flouro.
The hot lure today was a new creation Capt. Mark has been running which is a rainbow green machine spreader bar. Nothing new as these lures have been around for a while but Capt. Mark has been given it a good test run the last few weeks and it seems to be something we need to add to our arsenal.
Capt. Phil Dulanie and Mark DeCabia had the Todd Polumbo charter down in the South Toms and got a couple fish to the boat quick on the chunk but then just pick 2 more fish the rest of the night under horrible conditions with wind again tide and all the baits running to the bow. Up on the troll in the monring to pull a couple more fish for the charter they struck out and came home with only 4 yellowfin.
