The Bluefins are still here! Today, we caught some of the biggest fish of the year. We kept a 72 incher, and released another 5 fish up to 400 pounds!
Once again the bluefin tuna were biting. We caught and released a half dozen and ept one that weighed 163 pounds
Today we had a group from New York that specializes in vertical jigging and casting popping plugs for tuna. After a long day of riding around chasing marks, we finally found some fish willing to hit the jigs. We broke off a few nicer fish and caught a handful of 50 to 70 pounders to end the day.
We had another great day of striper fishing today just outside the inlet!
This is what stripers look like on the bottom machine. We had a great striper trip this morning, finding a limit of fish and making it back to the dock before the weather set in.
I was not expecting a trip today, but when my phone rang at 6:30, another boat had a problem and needed me to take his trip. We left the dock at 7:45 and, true to form , went the oppsite direction of the rest of the fleet. We caught a limit of tuna and made it back to the dock by 3:30!
I know its been a while since my last report, but charters have been few and far between, so I took another trip up North to try and catch some Bluefins. I spent a week in Harwich Port MA, and caught 5 fish from 600 to 700 pounds. We finally got a couple of charters this weekend, and the fishing was excellent!! Yesterday we caught a limit of yellowfins by 11:30 and today we caught a limit along with 3 wahoos from 30- 42 pounds. The wahoo are thick! We probably had 15- 20 wahoo bites and lost a few hooks! Stripers showed up around the inlet the last few days, and fishing should get better as the week goes on.
I am in Prince Edward Island Canada and look what we are catching. We caught a fish 866 pounds on the CAT SASS out of Tracadie Bay. The other 2 fish are 720 and 872
The Jersey boys (and Fordham) had a great day of tuna catchin’on the Frenzy today!
We had some great tuna fishing today!
