The Gambler's final canyon trip of the season was good. Not a big number of tunas but we did get some longfin and yellowfin in the 30 to 60lb range. The cool part was the variety. Besides the tuna, we had a good catch of mostly big mahi. The squids were thick throughout the night and easy to catch. We had 4 swords on during the night. A few blue sharks cruised into the slick in the dark. During the day, we hooked into a good number of golden and blueline tilefish. We then hovered over a deep water wreck for a decent shot of pollock. Lastly, fished some structure where the guys caught some jacks. I thought the variety made the trip. Everyone went home with fillets. That, to me, is canyon fishing.
Today was supposed to be our first striper trip but we were blown out by the weather.
We'll shape - up tomorrow. It's supposed to be a lot of wind, but NW. So we'll see.
