The third. Set up for a night of chunking after trolling late into the night.

On Tuna until the charter said enough and wanted to finish off with Mahi.
Wound up boxing another 20 Mahi to 20lbs.

That's the plan, so we went Mahi fishing, after 80 bites, 60 fish landed
And our limit harvested, the guys had little interest in trolling for tuna 
And Marlin or drifting for tilefish. Fun day today guys!

Canyon trip with Larry/Scott and sons

Had Larry back with son Andrew and Scott with son Zach. Plan was to go
For bluefins but saw some nice water sliding into the canyon and decided
To make a report vs follow one. Got to the spot and water was a nice 78 
Degrees and cobalt blue! Saw big Mahis and started off the trip banging a 
Dozen of them. Set up in the troll and marked no fish or bait. Decided to
Pick up the lines and search after 10 miles of running we found the fish and 
Life all kinds of mammals and bait. Few boats that were there first had a good
Bite of yellowfin and bigeye. We put in the lines and went to work, fortunately 
Got tuna bites but not the ones we wanted all were rat size yellowfin. Wound 
Up having 2 come up then had another 4 banger come up. Pounded the area 
But no big fish for us damn! Still great to be back in the canyon.

Nothing went searching, saw bluefin on the surface and trolled past them and had a nice 46 inch under on a canyon runner rainbow green machine spreader. Saw tons of bait but nothing. Decided to change gears and start chunking. Mike had bite a right away on a sardine and did a great job but lost him at boat side damn, fish was all of 60 inches! Went back on the hunt and saw another pod of bluefin on top and it are the same spreader bar again,Nice 45 incher.
