Canyon report
We had our first Canyon trip Thursday into Friday. When we first arrived at the canyon we spent a little time fishing for mahi mahi and caught quite a number of them.
There was a large area of Whales and we tried tuna fishing for a while but, didn't have any bites and we didn't read too many.
We took a ride to the next Canyon down. Upon arrival it was even a larger area of whales.
We read fish and even saw a whale shark.
We made several drifts and caught a couple of Yellowfin and lost a couple. Through the night we read fish numerous times and saw plenty of bait and life in the area.
During the night we landed two swordfish.
In the morning we hooked up a few Marlin and had a couple more tuna bites.
We wound up the with about 110 Mahi-mahi, couple of Yellowfin, a couple of swordfish and we hooked a few marlin.
The water looked great the temperature was good, we read fish, and saw plenty of bait, they just didn't turn on this trip.
We will be back out there Sunday night. There is space available.
After this weekend we will be headed to the Canyon on a regular basis.

Nice job.

Not a lot going on tuna-wise in Hudson. That one sword looks pretty small. Funny when the bite was on for tuna he may have been tosses back. But when the tuna bite is off keepers get smaller and smaller.
