Bob Cheney and crew had a great day on the Frenzy today. A humpback whale entertained us for a few minutes, and some gaffer dolphin rounded out the day. Yellowfin tuna started chasing flying fish on the 280 rocks late in the day, let’s hope they stay for a while.
The winds that kept us to the dock on Thursday and Friday apparently pushed some fish in to the Point today. The first boats to set out had some tuna bites right away, and I decided to set out just south of the fleet. After about 20 minutes of trolling, we caught one dolphin, set back out and hooked two bigeyes! Once we subdued them, we fished for another 45 minutes or so and hooked a triple. Our fish weighed 153, 138, 117, 108, and 90. Give us a call, we’ve got some open dates this week.

We had the day off yesterday, and apparently we missed the bite. Late in the day the yellowfins showed up outside the Point, and the boats that were there had great catches. Today was a different story. The tuna left sometime last night, so we tried a little deep dropping for tile fsh and sea bass. The conditions were not the best, but we ended up catching a handful for dinner, including a 15 lb grouper.
May has begun with the best fishing of the year. Big gaffers, wahoo and yellowfin tuna showed up in force today. The gulfstream change worked its way up close to the point, and we had the whole place to ourselves for the morning. We were rewarded with a few nice gaffers, a wahoo and some tuna. Give me a call and we’ll try to get you out on the grounds for some of the best fishing of the year! I am open on Sunday, so call soon!

Finally, we had some pretty weather and some fish have showed up! It was a little dicey crossing the bar this morning, but we made it across during a rare lull in the swells and didn’t even get any spray on our curtains. There was a 12- 15 degree temperature break at the 400 line, and we found a half dozen tuna and a pair of ‘hoos.
Yesterday was a beautiful day offshore. We ended up running nearly 45 miles to the Southeast in order to find some warm water. Everything looked good at first, we found a school of porpoise and immediately hooked three blackfins! After circling around for another two hours without another bite, a thirty pound wahoo made a fatal mistake. That was the last of our trolling bites. We ended up our day by catching a few tilefish, sea bass, groupers,and porgies. A regular smorgasboard! We have another week or so before I haul the boat for winter maintenance, so give us a call and we’ll get you out on the Gulfstream!
