Title: Phyllis Ann - Canyon Run - 7/20
Post by: Hotrod on July 20, 2011, 07:56:12 PM

Pulled  out a little later than planned due to the fog..  since it wasn't lifting we headed out anyway.

Was greeted to 6-10 foot visibility for the entire 7 miles run to the inlet.  thank god for my Navigator Greg and Carl and the Radar.  Could have just painted every window in the cabin black..  and it wouldn't have made any difference..

Fog didn't  lift but only a half hour about 10 miles out. 90% of the run was only buy the equipment.

Found a nice location with a lot of life and set up shop.  chatter and the radio didn't sound promising..

Jumped around all day from hump to lump and hit a couple of the Scallop boats.

Always good to fish around Adam Sherer..  Since he won't wait to see whats under the boat.. he just suites up and dives in.. ;D speargun in hand ;D  "Whats under there Adam"?  ah.."just sharks and Rays"...  fcp ;D


  Throughout the day the chatter was a lack of fish again.  and those that got them put a lot of hard work on the jigs.

Met up with Capt. Joey G And Capt. Rich late afternoon and watched the king of all tuna.. hook a nice bluefin on the Jig.. (RicH) t^

Played around in that area.. dodging whales.. and managed two hook ups that came un buttoned fcp

All in all another great trip with good friends..  seas were "friendly".. and we made good time out and back..

Nice try guys!  Was hoping to see the decks all bloody!  ;D
Just getting out there and back safe and with no problems, makes it a great trip in itself.  I know my journey out there with the BBC was one of my most memorable trips ever. 

You'll slam 'em next time guys!!!!!!!!!!

better luck next time.I guess thats why they say its fishing rather then catchin!!! A crap fish bite is still better then a good day at work.On the water with some friends out in the ocean is a good day.I would also be interested in one of those flags.I will post some fish pictures when my fuel tank is installed just waiting on the shop to finish my tank so i can put it in.

Nice shot at it Rod and guys. clp
Get 'em next time.
Sounded like you really got a chance to work your navigation skills with all that fog.
Probably smoked a whole pack just to clear the inlet.
Great job. t^

  I have been out there a few times with out any luck, but it was worth it every time. Just the adventure is neat. let me know if you ever need a spot filler.  Yes count me in for a boat flag.

A GREAT Fisherman and Good friend once told me ( 8 hours ago ) ;D

That "Great trips every time out will not come over night. But in each trip you gain more experience and knowledge for the next"

 was an awesome trip, even with whacked out conditions in the am trying to break the inlet.

 every trip gets me that much closer to being able to catch, fight, and land a tuner, its all a learning experience that you gotta get down to be consistently successful


 and unless its december,,,,,, seagulls do not walk on water rofla

I was working while you were out fishing so, I can tell you that you had a way better time than I did.

put me down for another flag - my last one went the way of a storm - or so they told me.
