9/14 -9/16 Canyon Tuna Reports
Tuesday/Wednesday Canyon report
We started the trip by fishing for mahi mahi. Fishing was very good as we landed about 300 up to 16 pounds. When it came time to set up for tuna we started drifting. We dropped the anchor shortly after 8PM and we landed a tuna. Several more came under the boat but, no more bit at that time. A little later the tuna came under the boat again and we caught another one on a jig. We read fish through the night from time to time but they never turned on after that.
We checked out some inshore grounds about 70 miles from home. Although we read tuna come under the boat couple of times we weren't able to get them to feed.
Thursday Report
We decided to try a different area Thursday hoping for more tuna.
We started the trip by fishing for mahi. On our first stop we caught a nice wahoo about 42 pounds caught by Ed Fliedner from Santa Clara CA, and several mahi.
After that it was picky mahi-mahi fishing. We caught some almost everywhere but not like Tuesday.
Just before sundown we set up for the night for tuna. Nothing happened all night until the morning around 5 a.m. when we hooked up 2 White Marlin at the same time. The largest was about 90 pounds. We read a few fish but didn't have any tuna bites.

We will be back out there again tonight hopefully, the fish will turn on.
There is still space available on the 31 hr. trip leaving Tuesday at 7 a.m.
