Daily Report

It was a quite an exciting day down at the docks!  We had many of our boats head out looking for the tuna bite and they found it.  Our first boat back was the crew of the “Osprey” returning from the Baltimore with 3 bluefin tuna.  The rest of the fleet found success in the Poorman’s today.  The crew of the “Hall Pass” caught 3 bluefin just south of the Poorman’s.   The “Marli” caught 2 yellowfin, 3 bluefin, and a basket with a mix of seabass and tilefish!  The boys on the “Primary Search” caught 2 bluefin, 12 seabass, and 10 tilefish.  “Real Chaos,” “Pumpin Hard,” and the “Fish Tricks” all returned with 3 bluefin each per boat.  The “Boss Hogg” returned with 3 bluefin and a mix of seabass and tilefish as well.  Finally we had the crew of the “Blood Money” return from the “Washington” today catching 1 big eye tuna.  Summer is kicking off right and now is the time to book your next charter trip!

The weather couldn’t seem to make up its mind today!  One minute the sun was shining and the next it was cloudy, cold, and windy which made it a quiet day at the marina.  We did have a few boats head out today in search of that bluefin bite.  First back to the dock was the crew of the “Blood Money” returning from the Poorman’s canyon with 3 bluefin tuna.  Fishing alongside them was the crew of the “Marli” catching 3 bluefin tuna while also releasing 10.  If you haven’t done so already be sure to give the marina office a call at 410-213-9600 to book your next fishing charter!

The first tuna of the season have arrived and just in time to kick off the holiday weekend!  We had a few boats head offshore and they were not disappointed!  The fishing ground of choice today was the Poormans and the first back to the dock was the crew of the Marli returning with 3 bluefin tuna while also catching their limit of tilefish.  The “Hot Lick”, “Gone Phishin”, and “Tuna Fowl” crews all had successful trips returning with 2 bluefin each.  Finally our last boat to return this evening was the “Blood Money” returning with 6 big eye tuna, 1 yellowfin and 3 bluefin tuna.  Be sure to make the marina a stop for your holiday weekend, whether it’s to have a drink at the bar, to book your next charter, or to stock up on supplies for your boat at Sunset Provisions we have you covered!

We had a well rounded weekend for October and even though it ended with a rainy cloudy Sunday we did see some really nice fish come back to the dock.  We saw a good number of Swordfish that included a 400 + pounder caught by the crew of the ‘Sea Hag.’  Congrats to Charlie and crew for that exciting catch!  The ‘Reel Chaos’ also went out today and came back with a really nice big eye tuna while also releasing a swordfish.  This is all a good sign in anticipation for next weekend’s 1st Annual Bishop Broadbill Bash.  This event is being held in honor of Rena Bishop, a beloved member of the Ocean City and Sunset Grille team, and her fight against breast cancer.  Proceeds from this tournament are being donated to the Jack Burbage Regional Cancer Care Center in Berlin.  It is a great opportunity for fisherman of all kind to get out there and fish for a good cause, while also having a chance at some nice cash prize money!  For more info on this event follow https://tinyurl.com/yypk5epe for Rules and Entry information or watch our most recent Daily Catch video highlighting details on the tournament!

The docks came back to life after many days of quiet with some of our boats taking advantage of the nice weather.  The first boat back to the dock was the ‘Osprey’ returning from the Baltimore with their limit of dolphin.  The Washington seemed to be the popular fishing spot today with many of our boats returning from there.  The ‘Cabana’ returned with 50 dolphin and a swordfish.  The ‘White Lightining’ returned with 2 white releases and 50 dolphin.  The ‘Mobster’ had a white release while the ‘Fish On’ returned with 2 swordfish and some dolphin.  The ‘Two Suns’ returned with a nice wahoo and a bunch of dolphin.  Finally we had the ‘Brenda Lou’ return from the Rockpile with 2 wahoo and 2 dolphin.  We had many other boats fish today and have successful days unfortunately with limited staff it was hard to grab everyone’s fishing reports, but a great day was had by all!  Tomorrow looks like another busy day of fishing so we will keep you posted on how they make out!

It was a nice calm September day at the marina with a few boats out taking advantage of the break in the weather. The ‘Cabana’ was the first to return from the Poorman’s Canyon having a great day, returning with 2 swordfish and a yellowfin tuna.  The ‘Sea Hag’ returned from the Baltimore Canyon with a white release and then the ‘Marli’ came in from the Baltimore with a Wahoo and 4 dolphin.  The ‘Reel Joy’ fished in the Norfolk and returned with 2 white releases and a blue marlin release.  The ‘Sandbob’ also went to the Norfolk and had a white release and 1 tuna.  Finally we had the crew of the ‘Double J’ return from the Wilmington Canyon with 27 dolphin.  We had a lot of people prepping on the docks as well to go out again tomorrow hoping to get one last day before the weather changes once again.

It was another strange weather day with a mix of rain and sunshine but it didn’t stop the boats from heading offshore once again.  The first boat back to the dock was the crew on the ‘Osprey’ returning from the Massey’s with 3 dolphin and 1 tuna. Then we had the crew of the ‘Marli’ return from the Rockpile with 7 dolphin and 2 white releases. The rest of the fleet went to the Washington for the billfish bite and were not disappointed.  The ‘Boss Hogg’ returned with 4 white releases and a tuna.  The ‘Cabana’ returned with 2 white releases and the ‘DA Sea’ had 2 white releases.  The ‘Roll Groove’ Returned with 4 white releases.    Finally we had the ‘Blood Money’ return with 7 white releases in the Norfolk.  We had a few more boats return with successful days but too late to make it to the report this evening.  Looks like a few more are heading out again tomorrow for one last trip before the weather turns bad over the weekend.
