It was just a matter of which boat you were close to and which school of fish swam under the boat. Once the 48 left to go home the yellowfin swam under the 60 Ritchie and they started to pick putting 9 in the boat by 10pm and then another 6 in the morning.
Capt. Mark DeBlasio left Friday morning and ran to the Bluefin grounds first and picked 3 bluefin at the Chicken Canyon all around 45 inches. He then trolled from the Chicken to the Tip of the Hudson and picked 5 yellowfin at the Tip but with no other solid signs and feeling he just got lucky he picked up and ran inbetween the Hudson and Dip and trolled up 5 more right before dark.
Capt. Mark DeBlasio had an open boat trip on the 48 Canyon Runner with Capt. Deane Lambros in the cockpit. Canyon Runner Squid Spreader bars, Canyon Runner Secret Runner Lures and ballyhoo accounted for the catch.
They arrived at Noon and slowed picked away at fish the entire day right up until dark. The night bite was uneventful but they got right back on the fish in the morning and finished up with 15 Yellowfin.
Just pulling 4 ballyhoo and the 2 squid chain teasers we had 18 yellowfin in 45 minutes and a total of 31 for the morning. In fact, in the first 45 minutes we had 8-10 yellowfin swimming under each squid chain and attacking it as it hung from the riggers and Will Howell was picking them off on the jig pulling 6 or 7 just jigging.
Fishing around the turn to the east on just what turned out to be a day troll due to bad weather coming in for the night they picked away at 10 yellowfin in the 30-50 pound class. The yellowfin (particularily the biggers ones) almost entirely ate Canyon Runner Squid and Green Machine Spreader Bars.
Canyon Runner 48 7 10-11 400 Blue Yellowfin 120 MakoCapt. The highlight of the trip was when a 400 pound Blue marlin ate a Canyon Runner Big-Eye Runner Lure (our secret lure that has accounted for 9 blue marlin and 15 big-eye in the past year and a half.
Canyon Runner 48 - July 9-10 10 Yellowfin 35-60 PoundsCapt. Mark DeBlasio took the Jeff Lo charter out last weekend and ran to the Hudson Canyon were Canyon Runner Squid Bars and Green Machine bars accounted for 10 yellowfin in the 35-60 pound class.
Well they caught the exact same amount of yellowfin but did spice up the trip with a couple more white marlin and mahi. Again, Canyon Runner Squid Spreader Bars accounted for most of the yellowfin.
On Tuesday, July 5 only the 60 Ritchie ran offshore with the Jeff Porello charter and with fishing slowing down up and down the line they decided to give the Lindencole one last shot. Slow fishing prevailed most of the trip but they grinded it out for over 30 hours to put a catch together for the charter of 8 yellowfin losing a few others.
