Daily Report

After the craziness of the extended WMO tournament last week, things are finally starting to feel like they are getting back to normal at the marina.  We did have some boats head out today to see what they could find and they returned happy.  The Baltimore Canyon was where our first two boats fished out of today.  The ‘Cabana’ returned first with 7 white releases and a yellowfin.  Next we had the ‘Reel Chaos’ return with 2 yellowfin and 4 white releases.  Our last boat in the fleet to head out to the Poormans canyon was the ‘Fish On’.  They came back to the dock with 4 dolphin, 2 white releases and a blue marlin release.  It was a steady day of fueling and ice orders which means tomorrow is going to be a busy one.  We will keep you posted on how they make out!

It was definitely a change of pace today at the marina with more and more tournament boats coming in daily and we also had a healthy number of boats head offshore today.  The Poormans was where they found the fish today.  First we had the ‘Zipper’ return with 1 yellowfin, followed by the ‘Marli’ with 7 yellowfin.  The ‘Pumpin Hard’ had 3 white releases and 4 yellowfin.  Next was the ‘C Boys’ with 2 white releases, a wahoo, and 5 yellowfin.  The ‘Electric Bills’ had a white release and the ‘Full Pull’ released 2 whites, a blue marlin, and caught 1 yellowfin.  Finally was the ‘Roll Groove’ with 4 dolphin and 3 white releases.  The ‘Osprey’ was our only boat in the Massey’s today returning with 9 yellowfin.  Looks like a lot of boats are heading out again tomorrow.  Good luck to all the lady angler fishing the 12th annual Heels and Reel tournament!

It was another calm and quiet day at the marina today with most of our crews continuing to do the prep work necessary to be ready for the White Marlin Open.  We only had two boats report their catches today.  The first was the ‘No Quarter’ returning from the Hot Dog with 5 yellowfin.  Next was the White Lightning fishing in the Poor Man’s and coming home with 2 yellowfin.  We continue to have more tournament boats arriving everyday with the countdown to the tournament quickly approaching!
