Canyon Runner Tuna Troll 7/6-5 YFT

[Canyon Runner]

Captain's Justin Nighan, Phil Dulanie and Mark DeBlasio had the Joe Mormando charter from Westfield, NJ out on the Canyon Runner Wednesday for a day troll in the Toms canyon. We did pull a nice 20 pound mahi off a pot but did not have another touch until 11:15 when we had a three bagger of 35 pounds yellowfin but only put one in the boat. The three fish ate a Canyon Runner Mini-Mamba bar, Canyon Runner Jet in black/green and a ballyhoo. We decided ot stake our claim there and picked four more yellowfin in the 30-40 pound class with no favorite lure or bait standing out as the hits each came on different jets, bars and ballyhoo. The biggest disappointment, yet it gives hope for the future, is that we sould have had 12 yellowfin today as we had 15 bites. We dropped 5 fish and had five others that barely took line off the reel before dropping off - so it looks like there is a good body of fish but they are just not turned on yet.
