MRMTC Canyon Trip and Results

Had stellar crew of Dan and Anthony with expert jigger man Dan Bombaci.
Left for an overnight trip starting the trip off with Mahis. At Night chunked and swordfish but no luck. Went trolling but only had small yellowfin and skippies.Began day chunking but no luck, highlight of the day was Dan jigging a white Marlin. Did some more pothopping to end the day with Dan getting our biggest
At 18lbs. Which has us in first place.

            
Jigged white marlin:

Mahi bonanza with the Oscar Carillo charter

Had longtime regular Oscar out with buddies Bobby and Nate. Plan was to do some trolling and pot hop. Seems like a trend has been happening after hearing of slow trolling they opted to start pot hopping and was hard to get them to change Gears. Oscars buddies were new to it but once they got the hang of it was game on. Landed over 30 to 15lbs.

Pool Winner!

Overnight with the Randy Wilson charter

Had Randy out with buddies Tom Carl and Mat. Started out boxing a dozen Mahi
To get the trip started. Soon after went on the troll for the evening mixing up
The spread to target both Marlin and tuna. Had success getting the Marlin to
Come into the spread getting 3 bites missing the first two and jumping off
The third. Set up for a night of chunking after trolling late into the night.
Had one mystery runoff and went on the troll in the morning. Concentrated
On Tuna until the charter said enough and wanted to finish off with Mahi.
Wound up boxing another 20 Mahi to 20lbs.

Open Boat Mahi Fest

Tony, Lamar, and TJ on board today for an open boat canyon trip.
Crew decided at the dock that they wanted bent rod action, and 
Anything else was an after thought . Offered light tackle Mahi. Guys said 
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.

Open Boat Bluefin

Had regulars Mike, Jim and son Bret with newcomer Eric. Left at dark thirty and made our way to the grounds. Found immediate life with bait, Dolphins,And great bait readings. 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.

Overs Bluefin with the McFadden family

Had Chris out for the first time with Dad Dave and sons. Nate and Jake.
With the weather conditions took a different heading to avoid a beating, got to the spot And found some good friends, with the early bird doing the most damage,Nice job D! Worked it over and finally got our over with young Nate doing a great job on the rod landing his first tuna with it being 51 inches. Winds picked up A bit and decided to look for some Mahi, water temp and clarity was OK, but Just triggers on the pots. Decided to hit a wreck to put the whole family into action, getting a bunch of baseball bat ling.
