Posted 2 months agoFall fishing is in full swing! Our fleet kept the fish cleaners busy with plenty of meat fish hitting the docks. “Primary Search” was the first to come in. They had a meat haul of mahi, blue tilefish, and seabass from fishing in the Poormans. “Marli” and “Never Enough” both came back to the docks with a cooler full of mahi. “Pachanga”, “First Light”, and “Fish On” ventured out to marlin fish. “Pachanga” had the most white marlin releases with 5 white releases. “First Light” had the only blue marlin release of the day and a white release. “Fish On” had three white releases and a wheelbarrow of mahi. They even had a first-timer on board, congrats angler! The weather seems to be taking a turn meaning lots of maintenance is happening in the yard and around the marina. Don’t forget to check out Sunset Provisions for all of your marine supplies needs and Atlantic Tackle for all your fishing needs in the meantime. We hope to see the fleet back out towards the end of the week.
