Best Canyon Tuna Trips of the Season!
Two Good Trips This Week
Tuna fishing was good on the Tuesday Special. It
was too breezy to drift for tilefish when we arrived at the canyon, so we started out tuna fishing. We tried a drift for 40
minutes but did not have any bites. We moved further offshore and anchored. Within 30 minutes we landed a mako shark. Shortly
after that we had our first yellowfin. The tuna schooled under the boat and we landed 8 more before the sun went down. It
was quiet most of the night except for a couple of tuna and one swordfish.
Once the sun rose the tuna schooled under the boat again and we began to pick throughout the
morning. Yellowfin and a few longfin were caught on both bait and jigs.
Jason Kim from Ellicott City MD landed 3 yellowfin and 3 longfin,
Dennis Muhlenforth fromm Hockessin, DE caught
his limit of yellowfin and 2 longfin, and 3 tilefish including a 30LB tilefish,
Glen Cohen from Huntington, NY caught his limit of yellowfin,
Carlos Diogo from Newark NJ caught 2 yellowfin
and 8 tilefish,
I
was able to jig two yellowfin myself during one shot in the morning.
We also caught a good number of tilefish. The water temperature was 65.4 degrees. We saw plenty
of squid at times and read lots of tuna. We have trips scheduled through November and will add more trips if the water stays
along the bank and the fish continue to bite. The Jamaica is also available for charter for Canyon tuna trips.
Wednesday was Another Good Trip
Wednesday evening we returned to the same area.
Overnight we only caught one swordfish. Just before sunrise some tuna began to school under the boat. We caught three yellowfin
and lost a few before the readings thinned out. We made a move just two miles away. As we were moving we ran over a school
of tuna 190’ down. It did not take long the catch the first tuna. After that they schooled under the boat from 120’
to 220’ down. We began to catch the yellowfin on jigs and bait. Fishing was good the rest of the morning until it was
time to head in.
Rob Finkle from Sparta, NJ caught
his limit of yellowfin,
Jimmy Riccardo
from Clinton, NJ and Anthony Riccardo from Easton, PA each caught 2 yellowfin,
Frank Graziano from Delaware caught his limit of yellowfin, 2 longfin and 8 tilefish,
Walter Koschak from Spring Lake, NJ caught his limit
of yellowfinn and 1 longfin,
Victor Ferrante
caught 2 yellowfin.
Dan Gregory from Howell, NJ caught
his limit of yellowfin,
Many others
caught at least one yellowfin and lost many more.
We are scheduled to sail this weekend and also have space next week. The warm water is all along the 100 fathom line
and it looks good for our upcoming trips.
