A strong canyon report - lets hope this holds up over the next few days. We finally have a good weather window for 3-5 days!
TUNA- Good Fishing again on the Friday night into Saturday trip. We arrived a little after midnight and landed our first Yellowfin at about 1:15AM. From that point until just before dawn we had a few bites every hour with some being Tuna, some Swords and others being Sharks. Just before dawn we started to pick at some Albacore catching some and losing some. From around 8:30AM-10:30AM we had shots of 2 and 3 at a time. We even got to see the fish eating chunks out of our slick just below the surface. Our last fish of the day was a 100 lb. Big Eye caught on a jig just before we started to pull our anchor. High hook on the trip with 3 Yellowfin and 5 Albacore. Some others had 2, 3, and 4 fish. Bait outfished jigs by about 6:1 this time but every trip is different.
There are still loads of squid in the canyon as well as other baitfish. The water is between 68-70 degrees which is warm for this late in the season so the Tuna should stick around.:D
