[Canyon Runner]

Canyon Runners 2 with Capts. Mark DeBlasio and Justion Nighan were out Friday with the Jim Sullivan charter from Prudential and set up by 6:30pm in the Toms Canyon and had their first bite at 9pm. They went 1 for 3 before midnight but did not have the fish going until 1:30am when they had fish until 3pm putting a total of 10 yellowfin in the boat from 40-70 pounds and released another 10. Most of the bites were on sardines and live squid as well as a few were hooked on jigs.

Capt. Phil Dulanie had the Canyon Runner 1 set up at 7:30pm in Toms Canyon and had a few fish in the boat by midnight and continued to pick fish most of night including a 55inch swordfish that they boated. In total they had 10 yellowfin in the boat and released 8. Again, most of the fish were taken on sardines on 60 pound flouro with a 1 ounce egg sinker.

Adam LaRosa was on Vinnie Gallo's Gallant Lady (with expert help in the cockpit as mate Brad Burgess made the run up from Maryland to work the pit and Mike Gallo assisted as well) and set up at 7:30pm three quarters of a mile south of the small fleet that included Canyon Runner 1 & 2 and had fish on immediately. By 9pm we had 9 40-60 pound yellowfin in the boat and released another 5 and by 1:30am we had our limit of 15 in the boat and released 25. We had no bites from 1:30am to 4am when they came again and we had another 10 nice yellowfin from 50-70 pounds that we released. In total we had 70 bites and caught 48 yellowfin and 2 longfin with almost everyone one on jigs and sardines on 60 pound flouro with a 1 ounce egg sinker
