Canyon Runner 60 Reports – Great Fishing Again – Will it hold up?

On Tuesday, July 5 only the 60 Ritchie ran offshore with the Jeff Porello charter and with fishing slowing down up and down the line they decided to give the Lindencole one last shot. Slow fishing prevailed most of the trip but they grinded it out for over 30 hours to put a catch together for the charter of 8 yellowfin losing a few others. Canyon Runner rainbow squid spreader bars accounted for most of the yellowfin.

On Thursday, again only the 60 Ritchie Howell took out the Paul Pedretti charter and they once again headed down to the Lindy with hopes of a little better fishing. Well they caught the exact same amount of yellowfin but did spice up the trip with a couple more white marlin and mahi. Again, Canyon Runner Squid Spreader Bars accounted for most of the yellowfin.

Well with a few days off it was time to consider a new canyon as the fishing was just not as good as it should be in the Lindy. So we some decent reports of action in the Hudson Canyon Capt. Phil Dulanie and mates Will Howell and Capt. Jay Richardella took the Kevin Carney charter to the Hudson. They got there early Sunday but with the crowd of boats not much was going on. That is until the boats left. The afternoon troll bite saw the crew going 1 for 3 on whites and nailing 7 nice yellowfin in the 50 pound class. The night bite was slow but the morning was excellent with 10 more yellowfin nice yellowfin coming to the boat and 2 more whites released while missing a third. They also pulled the hook on a big-eye 25 feet from the boat.

The yellowfin ate Canyon Runner Squid Spreader Bars and the whites were all baited and switched off the bars and a squid chain to ballyhoo pitch baits.

That makes 25 whites for the year for the 60 Ritchie Howell thus far and we are not even marlin fishing.
