Canyon Report
Fishing was good on the Friday night Canyon tuna trip.
When we arrived at the Canyon it was a little breezier than predicted and it was a bit quick for drifting. We made a short drift and saw a few fish come under the boat but did not have any bites.
We then moved to the area where we had previously caught fish on another trip and anchored up for the night.
Some bait and fish passed under the boat through the night but we only had a couple of sharks. It was quiet until 6: 30AM.
Tuna began school underneath the boat but did not bite at first until, Kyle Budd from Lakewood NJ hooked up on a jig. Once we had that first bite they began to feed and fishing was good with plenty of action until it was time to come home.
At first jigs were the way to go but then they also began to bite on bait.
We caught 20 to 70 lb yellow fin.
John Edgington from Lancaster PA and his two friends teamed up for a triple limit of yellowfin up to 65 lbs.
Anthony Giannotti from Summers New New York caught his limit of yellowfin.
Mike Mansion Sr & Jr from Staten Island New York, both caught yellowfin. A first from Mike senior a nice 70lb yellowfin.
Catherine Zerbo from Staten Island NY hooked into a big blue shark early in the morning before sunrise and then jigged her first tuna ever, today.
It looks good for our Tuesday trip.
We read more fish today than any trip so far this year. The tuna one jigs and bait. An experienced fisherman can put a hurting on these.
Catches in the Hudson Canyon have been the best of the season recently.
We have space available on the 31-hour trip leaving 7:00AM Tuesday.
