Toms Canyon run
My brother and I borrowed the 23 Sea Hunt again. Awesome weather window so we went out Monday afternoon and stayed overnight, 85 miles east in a 23 cc.
Got some nice mahi on the pot markers and our first white marlin before sunset.
We thought we would have lots of company out there but we were alone all night. Glassy calm, beautiful. hundreds of pilot whales. no tuna, just relentless sharks. Using circle hooks and 60# mono leaders we got a 100# hammerhead and dusky to the boat and had multiple bite offs.
Morning got us 3 more marlin bites that released themselves in the air.
Then some more mahi. We tried deep dropping for Tilefish in 600ft but only a few lite nibbles from something small.
