Canyon Tuna

The Jamaica is taking reservations for canyon tuna trips sailing  in September and October.

Our first trip sailed Sunday night.  We had some fish on right away but then were invaded with giant rays that kept breaking the lines. We made a short move and lost a few tuna through the night. At sunrise we landed our first longfin. Shortly after that we landed two more yellowfin. A drift along the edge produced a few more yellowfin bites and about one dozen tilefish before we headed to the bluefin grounds.

It was slow at first then we had a shot of tuna on bait and jigs. We did catch our two we are allowed to keep, lost a few larger ones and released two more. The largest tuna was caught by Suzanne Bottinger from Blue Bell PA.

Frank Graziano landed a yellowfin and a bluefin.

The water looks great in the canyon and there is a good deal of baitfish. Tuna fishing should pick up again. We are scheduled to sail through September and October. Call 732-528-5014 for reservation information.

Our next trips will sail 5PM Sunday September 5, 12.
