Another beautiful day at Sunset Marina and a few of our boats took advantage, venturing offshore to see what they could find.  The Baltimore Canyon was the location of choice today with all of our boats returning successfully from this spot.  First back to the dock was the crew of the Double J with 3 bluefin tuna and 2 dolphin.  Next up we had the Magic Moment who were 4 for 6 on bluefin tuna and they kept 2.  Finally was the Marli returning with 2 bluefin tuna.  The weather forecast is looking nice for the upcoming holiday weekend and it is not too late to book your next fishing charter!  Give us a call at 410-213-9600!

The bluefin tunas have arrived! Venturing out to the Wilmington today was the ‘Southern C’s’ catching 4 bluefin while releasing 20 more, the ‘Double J’ catching 3 bluefin and 2 dolphin and finally the ‘Primary Search’ catching 2 bluefin and releasing 16 more. The ‘Marli’ had there first trip of the season today resulting in 4 bluefin while releasing 20 more. The bluefin bite is certainly heating up, as several boats look to be fishing tomorrow as well!

We are happy to report that things are finally starting to kick off at the marina for the 2019 season!  Many of our boats have been launched and are happily back in their slips after spending a long winter in the boatyard getting ready for the season.   The marina was a flurry of activity with people fueling up, cleaning their boats and there was even a nice crowd enjoying cocktails at the restaurant.  We also had our first boat venture offshore today and they did not disappoint!  The crew of the Reel Tight fished in the Baltimore canyon and had a great day catching 3 bluefin tuna, and releasing another 20.  Looks like some weather coming in will keep the boats at the docks but we will keep you posted on any other reports we get in the next few days!

It was another beautiful day offshore today and a lot of the boats in our fleet took advantage of it once again!  The first back to the dock was the crew of the ‘Boss Hogg’ returning from the Rockpile with 60 dolphin, 20 tilefish, and 36 sea bass.  Fishing alongside them was the crew of the ‘Marli’ who returned with 60 dolphin and a white marlin release.  The other two boats in the fleet fished in the Washington Canyon today.  The ‘No Quarter’ returned with 3 white releases while the ‘Fish On’ caught 10 dolphin and also had 2 white releases.  We do have a few boats who may fish tomorrow so be sure the check back and see what they are able to find tomorrow!!!

It appears that our summer like weather ends after today and with that the fishing season is slowing down at the same time.  We only had two boats out on this beautiful day.  Fishing their last day of the season in the Poor Man’s was the crew of the ‘Osprey’ who returned with 60 dolphin and they also had a white marlin release.  The crew of the ‘Sea Hag’ was fishing between the Poor Mans and the Washington Canyon and were four for four on white releases and they also caught a bunch of dolphin.  The weather looks to be a little sporty the next couple of days so the last few boats we have that are fishing are keeping a close eye on the weather and picking their fishing days carefully.  We will continue to keep you updated on what they do!!

85 degrees in the middle of October? That’s right! This beautiful weather sticking around is allowing our charter boats top fish well into the season and result couldn’t be better! We had 3 boats venture offshore today each having quite a successful day. The ‘Osprey’ ventured out to the Hot Dog today and caught 60 dolphin while also releasing a white marlin. Heading to the Washington Canyon today was the ‘Marli’ who brought 60 dolphin back to the dock, along with the ‘Sea Hag’ who had a very impressive day catching 60 dolphin and releasing 2 white marlin. Its looking like tomorrow may be the last day of fishing for the year for most of our boats so be sure to check in tomorrow for what may be our final fishing report of the 2018 season!

Its October 7th and the weather couldn’t be nicer for a day out on the water. We had several boats fishing today as the season seems to be winding down.

It started off being a rather nice day here at Sunset Marina, but with a slight change in weather the rough seas made our boats return back to the dock a little sooner then normal. All boats ventured to the Washington in search of a few more white marlin and they weren’t disappointed. The ‘No Quarter’ returned with 3 white marlin, the ‘Buckshot’ returned with 2 white marlin, and finally the ‘Gret’s 3 J’s’ returned with 4 white marlin. It looks as if the weather is going to continue to be nasty throughout tomorrow but be sure to check back in with us this weekend for all the action!

Summer madness in October continues as the fishing offshore remains hotter than ever.  We had several boats venture out with the hope of finding themselves in the midst of this red hot marlin action.  The first back to the dock was the crew of the ‘Osprey’ returning from the Poor Mans with 6 white releases and 16 dolphin in the box.   The Washington Canyon was the fishing grounds for the rest of the fleet today.  The crew of the ‘Three J’s’ came back from an overnight trip and had a whopping 10 white releases!  The ‘No Quarter’ was in next and had 6 white releases as did the ‘Poore Sport’ returning right behind them.  The ‘Lucky Duck’ had a wahoo, some dolphin, and five white releases.  The ‘Fish On’ had 1 white release and a wahoo.  The ‘Pumpin Hard’ had 2 white releases and finally the crew of the ‘Buckshot’ had 2 wahoo in the ice chest and released 5 whites.  More boats plan to fish the the next few days but are keeping a close watch on the ever changing forecast so be sure to check in and see what they decide tomorrow!

It was yet another gorgeous day here at Sunset Marina, allowing for a few of our charter boats to get out there in search of all those dolphin and white marlin that have been caught the past few days. First back to the dock today was the ‘Osprey’ who ventured to the Rockpile catching 20 dolphin and releasing 2 white marlin. Also fishing in the Rockpile today was the ‘Marli’ who brought back an impressive 60 dolphin back to the dock. The remainder of our boats fished out of the Washington Canyon today, all have very good outcomes. The ‘Gret’s 3 J’s’ released 7 white marlin, the ‘Reel Steel’ released 10 white marlin, the ‘Billfisher’ released 9 white marlin, the ‘Buckshot’ released 5 white marlin, the ‘No Quarter’ released 7 white marlin, and finally the ‘Tighten Up’ who returned home from an overnight trip caught 15 white marlin. As you can see the white marlin bite is still red hot and doesn’t show any signs of stopping anytime soon.

Double digit white marlin fishing the 1st of October? That’s right! The Washington Canyon was the hot spot for the white marlin today, as every single one of our boats ventured that way.
