Everyone had a great trip and where back at the dock before dark. Thanks guys look forward to see you soon.

Capt. Tom reports:
Saturday morning Tyrich Harris and family joined us for a morning bass trip. After a late start we decided to avoid the Saturday crowd at the Shoal and go bunker fishing instead. The morning started out a bluefishing fiesta. Just when we where ready to make a move we caught our first bass of the day. So we decided to stay put and keep it honest for the turn of the tide. Once the tide turned we caught 5 more bass up to 20 pounds, lost quite few more, and plenty of bluefish to keep the kids excited. FINTASTIC CHARTERS (732) 614-4181

Capt. Tom reports:
Captain Nick and Tom had ALCS Construction out this morning bass fishing aboard the Fintastic. We started the day clamming… caught three keepers and a dozen shorts. With the clamming only producing a few keepers we decided to switch gears and go bunker fishing. The bunkers bite was steady and we ended up with five more keepers up to 22 pounds, and pulled the hook on just as many. The bite also included as many blues as you wanted. We had a great day and welcome our friends from South Carolina back for another season. We are sailing an open boat trip tomorrow 6am-1pm and I have one spot left. Our plan is to bunker fish in the morning. Call Tom if you are interested 732 614-4181.

6/21-22/08
Capt. Tom reports:
The Fintastic Crew of Captain’s Tom Kelly, Bruno Giuliari and Richie Andrews had the Eddie Hibbert charter on board for the two days of the Mako Mania Shark Tournament. Saturday: On Saturday we fished in the east side of the Triple Wrecks. We had no idea what was in store for us. We started our drift in 220’ of water and 69◦ water temp with good bait readings and closest boat was 3 miles away. At 10:30 am a huge splash occurred at the 30’ balloon. We only saw a massive shark tail disappear into the water. Richie at that point takes the pitch bait and feeds it back into the slick. He is instantly hooked up on a Penn 50SW with 21# of drag and 80# mono, the shark dumped nearly half the spool before we cleared the lines and began backing down on this monster. The rod was past to every charter member multiple times including the crew. This fish would just not come up. After two hours of pulling, backing down and spinning on this fish it finally came up. We grabbed the leader and couldn’t budge the fish any closer to the boat before it made another run. We had this fish up about nine times and could not get a good look at it. The size of this fish was unbelievable it had to weigh well over 1,000#. About 3pm we decided to try something else to break the stalemate. We realized that if this was a mako we wouldn’t have enough time to boat the fish and make the tournament’s 7pm weigh in, at this point we were 62 miles from Pt Pleasant, so forget the tournament rules. The plan was to swap the fish to a larger rod and reel. We had a Penn 70vs rigged with 200# spectra and 130# mono top shot which we attached a snap swivel to. The next time we were able to grab the leader we attached the snap swivel to the leader and cut the Penn 50 free from the fish. At this point we were able to apply 33# of drag to the fish and fight the fish from a swivel rod holder, similar to how we fish for giants in NC. The battle lasted for another 2 ½ hours we put as much pressure as we could and finally at 5:30 pm the line parted and that was it. The battle lasted for 7 hours; we end up over six miles from original location and pulled into our slip at 9:30pm. We couldn’t be a 100 % on the identification of this shark but the tail shape leads us to believe it was either a Great White or a monster mako. We could never get good look at its head, it was always angled down. Sunday: On Sunday we fished the Northeast end of the Glory Hole. We setup in 200’ of crystal blue 69◦ water. There were whales on the surface and solid bait readings at 100’. At 9:30 the 30’ rod goes off and were hooked up to a 90 - 100# Mako, which was released after a short fight. We caught 2 additional Mako’s which were under the tournaments’ qualifying size of 66”. The weather was a little sporty by noon but by 4pm the wind dropped out and we had good ride home. In the 2 days of Mako Mania we fought a monster shark for 7 hours and caught 3 Mako’s not a bad weekend, if this sounds like fun, call us for dates and availability. Capt. Tom www.fintasticcharters.com

Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Tom Kelly and Richie Andrews gave the Bob Ott charter from Pt Pleasant, NJ a Father’s Day trip to remember, on the FINTASTIC. They started the morning snagging bunker outside of Manasquan inlet after filling the live well, they made their way north. An hour went by before they caught their first fish and then another as the sun rose the bass really turned on. The 12 person charter at one point had 8 fish on at once. The bass hit live bunker, heads, tails you name it. They landed over 25 bass and kept 17 for the table. Two fish weighed in at Clarks Landing came in at 38 and 44½ # the largest this year on the Fintastic.

6/14/08
Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Bruno Giuliari and Tom Kelly had the Matt Detlet charter on the FINTASTIC for the Brett Bailey Mako Rodeo. We setup 55 miles to the southeast of Manasquan in clean 69 degree water, good bait readings, good drift and only 3 other boats in the area. With the table set we had high hopes for Mr. Mako, but we proceeded to catch and release 8 big blue sharks and a few bluefish which kept Matt and his friends quite busy. We’ll try again this weekend we’ll be fishing both days of Mako Mania. __________________ Captain Tom & The Fintastic Crew http://www.fintasticcharters.com (732)614-4181

Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Tom Kelly and Tom Savastano had the Stan Olszak charter on the FINTASTIC for and afternoon striper trip. Before heading back to Manasquan from the Highlands Captain Kelly threw his net and loaded the live well with bunker. We worked our way down to Asbury where the fish finder lit up with readings. We put her on the drift and had non stop action with Stripers from 18 to 30#. Stan an avid surf fisherman couldn’t believe this type of fishing.

6/11/08
Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Tom Kelly and Joe Patsco took the Marty Aberelle charter on the Fintastic for a late afternoon bass trip. Anchoring in 25' of water the trip started with a good blue fish bite and as the sun went down the bass really turned on. They end up chunking over 30 bass ranging from 20 - 27 # with the largest fish weighing 33#. They kept 18 bass table and released the rest to fight another day. The Fintastic is moving from the Highlands to Point Pleasant today and has some open date availble. We will be sailing from Clarks Landing Marina in Point Pleasant until December and then off to Morehead City, NC. This weekend we will be fishing the Bret Bailey Mako Redeo shark tournament and then back to Bass fishing on Sunday. __________________ Captain Tom & The Fintastic Crew http://www.fintasticcharters.com (732)614-4181

6/24/09

Adam LaRosa reports:
Captain Mark DeCabia and Phil Dulanie took the Kurt Panzer charter out on Thursday for the first of a few day chunking trips to the canyon. I say the first of a few as the trip was quite successful as the yellowfin seem to be biting during the day now on the chunk. They left Manasquan Inlet late as the charter was flying in and did not break the inlet until 3:30am. They arrived on the west wall of the Hudson Canyon at 7:30am and dropped the hook. They immediately had a bite and went 1 for 3 in the first couple hours. The tuna started to school under the boat around 150-200 feet but did not start feeding until around 10am when they started a steady pick. By 1:30pm they had 10 yellowfin on 1 longfin in the boat. The yellowfin were all right around 30 pounds the longfin a little nicer. They added another yellowfin just before coming home fishing off the trip with 12 tuna in the box. Most of the fish were caught jigging down deep around 200 feet but some were also caught on bait. Based on this performance it looks like we got another 2 weeks of fishing but of course based on the usual weather for this time of year if we get out twice a week we would be thrilled.

[B]60’ Canyon Runner 10/3-4 – 15 Yellowfin & Sword[/B] Capt. Mark DeCabia and Capt. Phil Dulanie had the 60’ Ritchie Howell Canyon Runner out Saturday to Sunday in what turned out to be a rough ride out but a nice night and even better Sunday. Fishing with the John Dale they pushed through some nasty seas from 20-40 miles out but as they got closer to the edge the nicer it got. They set up in the Carteret Canyon just before dark on the anchor and started chunking. Their first fish of the night was on the sword rod and turned out to be a 90 pounder. They then started a nice pick of yellowfin with 3 by 9pm, 6 by mid-night and 15 when the sun came up. The yellowfin came in quick flurries and most of the fish came on hammered diamond jigs and working rods with sardines. Again there was not a lot of squid under the boat the entire evening.
[B]48’ Canyon Runner 10/1-2 – 15 Yellowfin[/B] Capt. Phil Dulanie had the 48 Canyon Runner out Thursday to Friday with an open boat charter in what ended up being a small window of weather. They got to the Toms Canyon around 1pm and started trolling and spent the next 5 hours without a touch and without a sign of life. However, as soon as the sun set the yellowfin showed up in force – unfortunately just prior to the sun setting so did the wind. It never laid down all day Thursday and by sun set it was a sustained 20 with higher gusts. Prior to midnight they were taking a few waves into the cockpit and this weather led to a lot more fish lost then usually or they would have been limited out by midnight. By 9:30pm they were 10 for 15 and by midnight 15 for about 30. They did not get any other bites after putting the 15th fish in the boat. Most of the fish were caught on jigs and sardines. They hardly had any bait under the boat the entire night but that did not seem to hurt.
[B]OPEN BOAT TRIPS ON THE 60’ RITCHIE HOWELL CANYON RUNNER[/B] Guys – I also wanted to give everyone a heads up that we are going to offer a couple open boat trips on our 60’ Ritchie Howell. We normally do not do this but the 48’ Canyon Runner is going giant tuna fishing starting October 13 and with a brand new eddy moving into the Hudson Canyon by the end of this week we expect another month of canyon trips going into November. As such we have a few dates left to book and will be doing a few open boat trips. These trips are $950 per spot and that includes the tip.
Dates including: October 14-15 (1 spot) October 21-22 (2 spots) October 27-28 or 28-29 (4 spots)

Capt. Mark DeCabia took the Paul Pedretti charter out on our 60’ Ritchie Howell Thursday/Friday in what ended up being a small window of weather. They got to the Toms Canyon around 1pm and started trolling and spent the next 5 hours without a touch and without a sign of life. It did not bode well for the night bite and we thought we were going to strike out and be looking at the end of the season. We were wrong. As soon as the sun set the yellowfin showed up in force – unfortunately just prior to the sun setting so did the wind. It never laid down all day Thursday and by sun set it was a sustained 20 with higher gusts. Prior to midnight they were taking a few waves into the cockpit and this weather led to a lot more fish lost then usually or they would have been limited out by midnight. By 9:30pm they were 6 for about 15 and by midnight 10 for about 20. They finished up with a flurry in the morning putting another 5 fish in the boat but losing another 10. In total they fought 30+ yellowfin but ended up with only 15 in the boat. These yellowfin are not huge but are indeed a completely new body of fish which is a great sign of things to come. They are all closer to 40 pounds then 35 pounds and there are a few 70-80 pounders in there. Several other boats caught as well.

Adam LaRosa reports:
Capt. Mark DeCabia and Capt. John Timken had the Anthony Electric charter out on the 48 Canyon Runner Tuesday to Wednesday and put together another excellent trip. They tried the inshore bluefin grounds which don’t seem to be as automatic as they once were and struck out. They then tried mahi fishing on the pots which seem to have gotten hammered of late by the party boats and others fishing the edge. So they anchored up in the Hudson Canyon on the east wall by the mouth and sent out the night time spread. By 8:30pm they boxed up a 180 pound big-eye and released a small sword and then the action really turned on. The yellowfin started to show and an even dozen were put in the boat with almost all in the 25-30 pound class with one at 50 pounds. They also nailed a big longfin and a few mahi. The night was also interrupted with another sword in the 150# class that they had under the boat for a while but eventually pulled the hook on before getting a chance to throw the Poon. The ran home at first light to do a turn around and due to the fact that the trolling bite is almost none existent on tuna.

[B]60 Canyon Runner 9/20-21 – 10 Yellowfin on Chunk all 25-50 Pounds/White Marlin/Mahi to 25#/Tilefish[/B] Capt. Mark DeBlasio had the Don Wagoner charter out Sunday to Monday and took them back out to the 100-Square. They go there at 5:30pm and set up on the anchor and go the slick going early. It paid off as through the night they chunked 10 yellowfin in the 25 to 50 pound class. The bites came throughout the night and on chunks and jigs – we jigs being the best bet. Up on the troll in the morning they found a nice log and started working it hard. They pulled 20 very large dolphin off the log with the fish in the 15-25 pound class. They later released a white and then dropped down for some tiles. They spent 2 hours on the drift and nailed 15 tiles in the 5-15 pound class.
[B]48 Canyon Runner 9/20-21 – 11 Yellowfin (6 on the Chunk) 25-50 Pounds[/B] Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeCabia had out the Jason Homiston charter Sunday to Monday and put together a pretty nice catch in the Hudson Canyon. Arriving at the 100-square at 6pm they immediately throw the anchor and started chunking. They started picking at fish on jigs and live squid early in the evening and maintained a fish an hour or so until it died off before morning. They ended up with 6 yellowfin on the chunk with 2 in the 40-70 pound class and 4 in the 25-30 pound class. Up on the troll in the morning they worked the 100-square area and got a nice shot of 5 yellowfin putting all of them in the boat. These fish were slightly better size on average including one close to 80 pounds. The fish came on Canyon Runner spreader bars and weighted green machines. They picked mahis throughout the night but got nothing on the troll.
[B]60 Canyon Runner 9/19-20 – 7 Yellowfin on the Chunk (5 in the 50-70 Pound Class)[/B] Capt. Mark DeBlasio had the Jerry Reed charter out Saturday to Sunday on the 60 Canyon Runner and left the dock around noon in order to let the seas and wind die down. They head right for the tip of the Hudson Canyon and put the lines in around 3:30pm. Thereafter it was nothing but skippies as fast as they can pull them and they though about staying up at the tip for the night bite with all that life but ended up working down the east wall all the way to the 100-square. Around the east elbow they hooked up to a 250# blue marlin that was fought for a short wile before jumping it off. They anchored up at the square and almost immediately had a ton of bait under the boat and started picking nice yellowfin on the chunk. By midnight they had 6 in the boat and then the bite slowed with only one more boated through the night. They ended the night bite going 7 for 10 on yellowfin with 5 of them in the 50-70 pound class. Up on the troll in the morning they missed one tuna and headed home at 9am to do a turn around.
[B]48 Canyon Runner 9/19-20 – 3 Yellowfin/Sword/Mahi[/B] Capt. Phil Dulanie and Capt. John Timken had the Don Kretz charter out Saturday to Sunday and leaving after noon to let the wind and seas die down they ran right to the east elbow of the Husdon Canyon and put the lines in the water. Turns out there was a little bit at the elbow with one boat getting 9 during the day. We ended up trolling 2 yellowfin in there and a couple of mahi. With a good troll bite in that area they decided to spend the night at the elbow and it was not a good call as the bite was at the 100-square. So they picked and ran down the edge getting there at midnight when the bite was slowing up. They ended up picking a yellowfin on the chunk and also a swordfish that was released. Up on the troll in the morning they picked a couple mahi and that was it before having to run home for the turn around.

The overnight chunk bite in the canyon isn’t hot and heavy but it is not that bad either. In 6 trips we did manage to chunk fishing on all but 1 of them with one night getting 8 yellowfin on the chunk and 4 other nights catching 3-6 tuna each night. We also added 3 swords and a mako and a bunch of mahi so there is clearly enough action now at night to make it interesting. Yes it is a far cry from the old days where we are use to chunking 20+ yellowfin every night but maybe things are starting to improve – you just have to work your tail off every night to get those bites.
[B]48’ Canyon Runner 9/14-15 – 8 Yellowfin/Longfin/Bluefin/White Marlin/Lost Blue[/B] Capt. Phil Dulanie, Mark DeCabia and John Timken had the 48’ Canyon Runner out Monday to Tuesday and went right to the chunk in the Hudson at the 100-square with the Todd Polumbo charter. They had an eventful night with 5 yellowfin nice yellowfin, a longfin and several mahi on the chunk and released a small mako. 2 of the yellowfin and the longfin were in the 50-70 pound class. Up on the troll in the morning they added 3 more nice 50-70 pound yellowfin. They also had an interesting time with marlin. They immediately released a white marlin in the very early morning hours and then fought a 250 pound blue marlin to within 50 feet of the leader before pulling it off after 30 minutes on the fish. They missed another white later in the day and then had a bigger blue marlin follow a small yellowfin hooked up on a Canyon Runner spreader bar right to the back of the boat and follow us for a minute and a half. They first tried to feed it a pick boat Ilander/bally combo but it would not take it. They then tried to feed it the yellowfin but it only seemed to want to play with it and never jumped on. After that they ran inshore to the Atlantic Princess and added a 46 inch bluefin for 10 nice tuna on ice.
[B]60’ Canyon Runner 9/14-15 – 3 Yellowfin/5 Longfin/Tiles/Mahi[/B] The 60’ Ritchie was back out Monday/Tuesday on the third turn around in a row and had the Gene Petit charter out to the Hudson Canyon for the night bite. Their evening started slow but ended up with plenty of action at night as they chunked 3 yellwfin and a bunch of mahi. The real excitement came when they got dumped on a Penn International 50VSW with 800 yards on it even after coming of the ball and chasing down the fish. No idea what it was but it was big. Up on the troll in the morning they got covered up by 7 longfin and pulled 5 nice 50+ pound longfin out of the bite. They finish off in the canyon pulling a nice catch of golden tilefish. They then ran the charter inshore to get a bluefin or two only to hear of a slow day of fishing among a ton of boats and did not stay too long in there and came home.
[B]48’ Canyon Runner 9/13-14 – 8 Yellowfin on the Chunk Up to 70 Pounds[/B] Capt. Mark DeCabia had the Victor Mata charter out on the 48’ Viking and had one of the better night chunking bites thus far this fall season with 8 yellowfin on the chunk. They did not spend any time trolling Sunday afternoon but as soon as they set up they had big yellowfin under the boat. By 9:30pm they had 3 big -60-70 yellowfin in the boat and 2 smaller 30 pounders. During the night they picked at a bunch of mahi and added another small yellowfin. At first light they had the big yellowfin under the boat and put another 2 more in the fish box to finish up with 8 for the evening. Up on the troll in morning they added some more mahi and ran into the bluefin grounds to pick another bluefin for the ground ending up with 9 nice tuna on ice. [B]60’ Canyon Runner 9/13-14 – Yellowfin/Bluefin/Mahi/Thresher[/B] Capt. Mark DeBlasio had the John Deno and Rob Tambini charter out Sunday to Monday on the 60’ Ritchie and ran right out to the 100-square without stopping on the bluefin grounds. They set-up at the exact stop they had the 3 swords the night before and started chunking. Only this night they did not get their bites. They did chunk 2 smaller yellowfin and a bunch of mahi but that was it. Hearing that the inshore bit picked up they ran into the Chicken Canyon area and set up. They ended up fighting 2 threshers putting one in the boat around 150 pounds and releasing the other and boating a bluefin.
[B]48’ Canyon Runner 9/12-13 – Tons of Mahi[/B] The 48 Canyon Runner was back out Saturday/Sunday with the Richard Steer charter. They left the dock early and ran to the bluefin grounds only to find nothing there after 4 hours of fishing. They then ran off to the Hudson Canyon and started pot jumping picking a half a dozen mahi on each pot. After putting about 30 mahis in the boat they started chunking for the night up around the east elbow. Their night was not that productive except to add a bunch more mahis. They charter was happy to have a cooler full of 5-15 mahis and they headed home at sun-up.
[B]60’ Canyon Runner 9/12-13 – ¾ Swords/Yellowfin/Longfin[/B] Capt. Mark DeBlasio had the 60’ Ritchie Howell out Saturday/Sunday after a long week of east winds sitting at the dock and started inshore looking for bluefins with the Allen Schoen charter. Now were found so they ran off to the Hudson Canyon and put her on the troll around 2pm. They trolled until dark with only a bunch of mahi to show for it but they made up for it at night. Anchored up in the 100-square they quickly had their first sword bite of the night that came un-done but made up for it by catching 3 more throughout the night. They kept two including one around 90 pounds and one close to 150 pounds. They also chunked a big longfin and a 30 pound yellowfin. Up on the troll in the morning for an hour they had one shot of big yellowfin putting a 70 pound fish in the boat and pulling off two more.

48 Canyon Runner 8/20- 40+ Bluefin Then Lost Count[/B] Capt. Mark DeBlasio had the Dave Miguel charter out Thursday for another day of bluefin fishing at its best. Setting up at 5am about 45 miles southeast of Manasquan in the Princess area they had a slow pick going in the morning get 6 bluefins by 8am. They put it on the troll to find a bigger school of fish and picked a couple more when they trolled over the motherload. They put the boat in neutral started throwing chunking and had doubles and triples all day long. They lost count after releasing over 40 bluefin. Most of these fish are 40-60 pounds and again for another day they put an over in the boat at 54". This is the best bluefin fishing we've seen in years and the fish seem to now be up and down the Mudhole as inshore as 20 miles and out to 50 miles. Everyone should make an effort to get out there. I doubt the swells from Bill will effect this but let's all keep our fingers crosed!
[B]48 Canyon Runner 8/19 - 20 for 30 on Bluefin – Big Brothers Big Sisters Donation[/B] With the inshore bluefin fishing such a slam dunk every time we try it out we decided to spend all day Wednesday with the Ashley Labo group. This trip was donated by Canyon Runner Sport Fishing to the Big Brothers and Big Sister Organization of Monmouth County. Ashley was the winner of the silent auction. We are happy supporters of this organization and so too is Ashley. I guess our good deed was paid off as as soon as we had lines in the water at 5am we had fish on. There were a few misses to begin the trip but by 8am they had 8 fish to their credit and then things slowed up. These first few fish were caught on jigs and sardines on the drift at in the Princess area. We then went on the troll around 10am and starting picking 4 or 5 on the troll. Once we located a big concentration of fish it was back on the drift and jigging and chunking and sardines added the rest. In total with finished with 20 bluefin to our credit with and over of 54" and and under and 18 released. By the way - most of the fish were caught on jigs - jigs regular gold old hammered diamond jigs!
[B]48 Canyon Runner 8/17-18 - 4 Bluefin/3 Yellowfin/White Marlin[/B] Capt. Mark DeBlasio took an open boat charter out to the Hudson Canyon on Monday but first stopped on the inshore grounds around the Princess and in 10 minutes pulled two nice bluefin on the chunk on the drift with one coming on a sardine and another on a jig. They also lost two. They picked up at 4pm and ran out to the west elbow of the Hudson and put the lines in and before the last rod was out had a white marlin in the spread. They didn't get the white but instead had 3 yellowfin in the 25 pound class jump on - they got them all. They continued to troll down to the southwest corner of the Hudson as a friend had a good bite on swords there the night before. We were not so lucky as nothing happened at night. Up on the troll in the morning nothing also happened again! So they picked up and ran back to those inshore numbers and again within 10 minutes had two bluefin and lost two fishing the same tactics.
[B]60 & 48 8/14-15 – Big Yellowfin Saw 15 Marlin[/B] On Saturday August 15 both the 60 & 48 Canyon Runner had one of their best trips of the season. The night bite on Friday was slow but the tuna came up in the morning and so too did the marlin. The Glenn Hofferber charter was on the 60 and the Mike Meheghey charter was on the 48. The 60 released a blue and a white and saw 5 other whites in the pattern. The 48 release one white and saw 7 others. But the best was the big yellowfin caught on the troll. The best bite was at the 43020 area in 100fathoms but they also caught some 30" fish at the 100-square. In total the two boats caught 8 big yellowfin in the 60-90 pound class and 15 smaller 30" yellowfin.

Both Canyon Runner boats were fishing tournaments this week with the 60 Ritchie Howell down in Ocean City, MD at the WMO and the 48 Viking up in Block Island fishing the Tri-State overnight tournament. The 48 fished Monday to Tuesday and got their shot at the big-eye bite in the Hudson when that hooked up to 5 big-eyes after a couple hours on the troll in the Hudson Canyon. The Damien Romeo charter had only a couple anglers on the boat so mates Mike Zajac and Ryan DiBaggio got in on the reeling as well. Capt. Mark DeCabia guided the crew through a 1 hour battle that ended with 4 big-eyes to 180 pounds on the deck. Unfortunately none of them placed in the tournament. The rest of the trip had another dozen nice yellowfin added to the mix. The big-eyes ate everything when they come up so it just need to be there to get your bite.
The 60 Ritchie Howell fished Tuesday and got into a nice bite seeing 3 whites and catching and releasing everyone. One of the whites was 67.5 inches but we let it go as it was a skinny fish and would not have made the minimum weight so she swam away. Wednesday we did not do as well as we only saw one white in the pattern all day and no other life.
The 48 is back out on the big-eye grounds right now and back to charter fishing everyday and the 60 will be fishing Friday in our last day of the tournament and then back to charter fishing on Sunday. Hopefully those eye-balls hang around.

48 Canyon Runner – 7/30 – 11 Bluefins in 5 Hours[/B] Capt. Phil Dulanie and Ryan DiBaggio and Deane Lambros took the 48 Canyon Runner out on Friday to the inshore bluefin grounds and got into fish immediately. Anchoring up and chunking had the fish coming through the slick every 15 minutes. The bluefin were coming on both hammered diamond jigs and chunk baits fish right off the bottom. The first 10 bluefins were all about 44-45”. Around 11pm that had their over fish hooking a 54” bluefin on a bait hung at 15 feet under a balloon. They put that fish in the boat and the charter decide it was time of come home as the wind and seas were starting the build.
[B]60 & 48 Canyon Runners Hitting the Bluefins Inshore – 45 Bluefin on Thursday[/B] With the last reports from the canyon not being our best of the year we decided to hit the inshore grounds with our charters on Thursday to also avoid what was also a fairly unfavorable offshore weather report. Both boats left the inlet at 3am and got on the inshore grounds before sun-up. The 48 with Capt. DeBlasio and crew dropped the hook and the 60 with Capt. Dulanie and DeCabia went on the troll. The chunking was much better with the 48 getting 10 bluefins before 7:30am while the 60 had 2 bluefins and a mahi. The 60 joined the fun, anchored up, and got them going too. At the end of the day the 48 had 25 bluefins all right around 44-46” while the 60 had 20. Both boats also had an over fish around 52”.
[B]48 CR - 7/28-29 - 2 Makos/2 Yellowfin/1 Bluefin[/B] Capt. Mark DeBlasio, Capt. Peter Doran and Ryan DiBaggio took the 48 Canyon Runner offshore on Tuesday to Wednesday for an overnighter but stopped at the Princess first at 532/302 and picked a 50 pound bluefin on the troll before heading offshore. They ran to the east elbow of the Hudson, trolled to teh 100-square, trolled norht of the square by 10 miles and caught nothing. They ran down to the 150/050 trolled to the south Toms and only picked two rat yellowfins at the northeast corner of the Toms. The night bailed them out with 2 more nice makos wiht one at 140# hitting the deck and one around 120# being released. Up on the troll in the morning they trolled all the way to the Lindy without a touch.

]48 CR - 7/22-23 - 29 Yellowfin(3 60-70#)/1 Mako Release/ 14 On the CHUNK[/B] Capts. Mark DeBlasio, Mark DeCabia & Brad Burgess took out the Curtis Cambell charter out on Wednesday to Thursday on the 48 Canyon Runner and stopped inshore on the bluefin grounds but the fleet in there let us know the bite was from 5am to 11pm and we just missed it. We motored off to the bombs of the Hudson Canyon and put the lines in in 50 fathoms inside the west wall. We picked 3 small yellowfin in there and worked down the east wall where we pulled a couple more small ones and 1 nice one. We also missed a mako that ate our 13 inch yamashite spreader bar but then bit through the leader. Then the action came on. We set up for the chunk bite and gave it hell through night and finally got the yellowfin to turn on to the meat. The first couple fish came on the sword rod at 125 feet and then a bunch more came on hammered diamond jigs. In total, from 11pm to 4am we chunked 14 yellowfin with 6 in the 25-30 pound class. We released the rest plus an 80 pound mako release. Up on the troll in the morning we added another 2 bigger 50-70 pound yellowfin and a bunch more smaller for a total of 29 yellowfin for the trip.

[B]48 CR - 7/24-25 - 19 Yellowfin to 70 Pounds/2 Bluefin to 80 Pounds/Mahi[/B] Capt. Mark DeCabai, Capt. Mike Zajac and Deane Lambros took out the George Johns charter late Friday into late Saturday for an overnighter on the 48 Canyon Runner. They left late after the wind died down and got to the edge at 1am. Nothing happened at night but in the morning the bite was on. They trolling the 100-square first and pick a fish but the water moved out so they ran down the west wall area and found a nice 70-78 degree break and the yellowfin in it. These are nice yellowfin to in the 50-70 pound class. They went 4 for 7 on the big ones and 15 for 20 on the rest with 6 more keepers and some mahi. They trolled the canyon until 3pm when they decided to run inshore to the Atlantic Princess and pick some bluefins. They anchored up and started throwing the chunks and jigging and very quickly put a 50" - 80 pound bluefin in the boat and another 46" fish in the boat and release another 40 inch bluefin. Both boated fish fell for fresh dead squid.

Pete Doran had the Mark Novembre/Charles Korb charter out Monday to Tuesday on the 60 Ritchie Howell and put together a heck of a trip. They ran right back to the Spencer Canyon and worked the southeast corner down to the northeast corner of the Wilmington. They found fish hanging right on the break down at the Wilmington and caught a handful of smaller ones before setting up for the night which was uneventful with just a hammerhead. Tuesday was another story as the BIG yellowfin showed up. They starting picking 1.5 miles north of the northeast corner of the Wilmington around 8am and from 8am to 2pm had 7 big yellowfin in the 50-70 pound class. They also release a nice spearfish which ate a ballyhoo/Ilander combo. They work up to the southeast corner and picked 2 more 50-70 pound yellowfin. They also had another 15 smaller ones.

[B]48 Canyon Runner - 7/15-16 - 19 Yellowfin (4 Nice Ones/1 Mako/1 White Marlin)[/B] Capt. Mark DeCabia and Captain Mike Zajac took the Tom Biliecki charter out on Tuesday to Wednesday and decided to look back at the Hudson Canyon and a great temperature break coming into the 100-square - bad choice. There were no fish in it. So they worked down to the Toms Canyon and picked one 40 yellowfin during the entire afternoon troll. At night they quickly go their mako bite putting a 110 pouder in the boat. Knowing of the hot bite in the Spencer they 8knoted it down the line leaving the Toms at 11pm and ariving in the Spencer at 4pm for the morning troll. Good choice as they picked at another 18 yellowfin with 2 more in the 40-50 pound class. They also releaseed a nice white marlin and missed another plus added a mahi.

48 CR - 7/12-13 - 15 Yellowfin (4 Nice Ones)/2 Makos (released)/1 White Marlin & Mahi Captains Mark DeCabia, Mike Zajac and Phil Dulanie had the John Sisco charter out Sunday to Monday on the 48' Canyon Runner and ran to the Toms Canyon to start off the trip. Not a good call. There were a ton of birds, plenty of bait, rips, slicks and porpoises but no bites. They found it hard to leave such good signs so they stuck it out until dark. In all their afternoon troll produced a single 40 pound yellowfin. They ran down the bank in the dark leaving the Toms at 9pm and chugged into the Lindy at 11pm and put out the shark rods. They had an eventful night with a hammerhead two more makos (that makes 25 for the year) with a 90 pounder and 50 pounder (both released) and a bite on the sword rod that never came tight. Up on the troll in the morning they got their bites catching 14 more yellowfin with 3 more in the 25-50 pound class. Canyon Runner spreader bars and ballyhoo produced the best. But the biggest surprise on the trip was a 70" white marlin that ate a Canyon Runner Green Machine spreader bar and was released after a short fight. They also added a mahi.

60 CR - 7/12-13 - 55 Yellowfin (8 Nice Ones to 70#) Capt. DeBlasio and Capt. Doran had the Jim Sutow charter out Sunday to Monday on the 60 Ritchie Howell with Ryan DiBaggio in the pit. They headed to the Carteret Canyon and then proceeded to troll south along the 100-fathom line catching yellowfin the entire way. They moved to the Lindy where they had their best bite of the afternoon and finished off Sunday with 30 yellowfin including 4 fish in the 25-60 pound class. They overnighted in the southwest corner and picked up 2 hammerheads but nothing else. Up on the troll in the morning they worked all the way south again all on the 100-fathom line and continued to pick yellowfin the entire way. The best bite was around the Spencer. They finished off the trip with 55 yellowfin including 8 in the 25-70 pound class. 3 fishing were 60-70 pounds. Capt. DeBlasio as always had his 4 bar pattern out with two rainbow Green Machine bars and 2 9" purple/black bars and Canyon Runner jets and ballyhoo all produced.

60 CR - 7/11 - 2 Yellowfin - 0 for 1 on Blue Marlin Adam LaRosa, Brad Burgess & Crew took the 60 Ritchie offshore Saturday on a day troll crew trip to get the marlin gear wet in advance of the White Marlin Open and MA500. Knowing that the tuna bite was south we still headed to the Hudson looking for that 74 degree water on the 500 fathom line. To keep the tuna fishermen happy we trolled the west wall for 3 hours picking a couple small yellowfin but that was it. We pushed off to the 500 fathom tongue and put the dredges and teasers out and in 35 minutes had a 175 blue marlin come tight on the Black Bart lure pulled from the center rigger. She was pulling drag but unfortunately pulled off shortly after the bite. A couple hours later we had a white lit up in the spread but she did not even attempt to eat a bait. Happy to see some billfish and leery of the approaching front we got out of there early and were back at the dock at 5pm

48 CR - 7/8-9 - 4 Yellowfin (2 Nice Ones) and 2 Makos to 150 Pounds Capt. Mark DeCabia and Phil Dulanie had the John Jeanison and Mike Hutcheceon charter out Wednesday to Thursday on the 48 Viking and also found that the fishing dropped off. They started up at the west wall of the Hudson at Noon and worked that area for a while without a bite. They worked down the wall, offshore and inshore without a bite. They finally ran to the Toms Canyon in 50-60 fathoms and finally put one 40 pound fish in the boat before night fall. Night time was another story as they keep busy on the sharks all night. They picked 4 brown sharks, a big hammerhead, a small mako and the last rod in the water accounted for our 23rd mako of the year as a 150 pounder was put in the boat. Up on the troll in the morning the wind started howling and the tuna bite a little with 3 more yellowfin with a 25 pounder and 2 shorts. They called it a day before it got too nasty.

60 CR – 7/7-8 14 Yellowfin (8 Nice Ones) Missed a Blue Marlin Capt. Mark DeBlasio took the Manny Bellow charter out Tursday to Wednesday with the Manny Bellow charter and found the fishing to finaly have fallen off. They ran to the southwest corner of the Hudson canyon leaving late so not actually getting there until 9:30pm. They set up the slick and caught nothing at night. In the morning they worked the 150/050 area until 7pm when wiithout a bite they started to work south along the 100-fathom line. They worked down the line where they had a 5 bagger of all 20-40 pound yellowfin and turned around and nailed another 30 pounds - this was all at 7:30am. They did not get another bite until 3pm where they worked into the Toms Canyon where they found the best life of the trip. They picked a nice 50 pound fish, released 2 shorts and had a 5 baggers of yellowfin keeping one releasing the rest. The biggest excitement of the trip came when a blue marlin crashed the pattern and was hooked up for a few minutes. Unfortunately they couldn't clear the 11 rod pattern in time to chase after the fish and they jumped it off.

60 Canyon Runner 7/6-7- 25 Yellowfin (4 Nice Ones) and Small Mako Released Capt. Mark DeCabia took the 60 Ritchie Howell out on Monday/Tuesday with the John Scheon charter. Capt. Mike Zajac joined with Capt. John Timken. They left the dock at 1pm and hit the west wall of the Hudson at 5pm and got in 4 hours on the troll. They were pulling all big spreader bars looking for another big-eye but nothing transpired. They put out the regular 9" squid bars and ballyhoo and picked 3 yellowfin with one nice one in the 50 pound class before the night set in. Their drift took them off the bank but all they had to show for it was a small mako released and a brown shark. Up on the troll early in the morning found a very slow yellowfin bite turn on after 8am and they started picking away on double, triples and quadruples. They finished the trip with 25 yellowfin with 4 in the 25-50 pound class.
60 Canyon Runner 7/5-6 - 15 Yellowfin (6 Nice Ones) Capt. Phil Dulanie, Capt. Mark DeCabia and Capt. Mike Zajac had the 60 Ritchie Howell out Sunday into Monday with the Damien Romeo charter and got to the grounds early Sunday morning in hopes of an early bite but it did not materialize for us. Trolling bigger lure and the largest Yamashita spreader bars we have we were hoping for lightening to stike again but it was not our day. 5 big-eyes were caught Sunday among 15 or 20 boats but not us. They ended up trolling all day putting 15 yellowfin in the boat releasing 9 of them. Those fish ate ballyhoo, tuna clones and squid bars. At night saw nothing but a brown shark and a blue shark. They got up on the troll early Monday morning for a few quick hours on the troll but no picked a big-eye on Monday so they came home.
48 Canyon Runner 7/5-6 - 56 Yellowfin (11 Nice Ones) Capt. Mark DeBlasio, Capt. Peter Doran and Ryan DiBaggio took out an open boat trip Sunday to Monday and started right where we left off Friday afternoon on the west wall of the Hudson Canyon. Trolling in the early afternoon did not do too much but the fish came up around 6pm and from 6pm to 9pm they troll 25 yellowfin. They put 4 in the box with 2 in the 40 pound class. Canyon Runner rainbow green machine bars, and Canyon Runner purple/black squid bars in 9" squid were the key. At night it seems that the mako fishing has slowed as none were seen. They did pull a brown shark or two but nothing to write home about. Up on the troll in the morning they got the bite they were looking for as a big-eye exploded on the lure trolled between the two Canyon Runner spreader bars but it never came tight. This was at 6:30am and they spent the rest of the day lamenting about the one they missed. What made the rest of the day easier is they caught another 31 yellowfin ending up with 11 in the box with 3 over 40 pounds, 3 around 25 pounds and the rest around 30 inches.
