Happy Monday! A bunch of boats ventured out today.

Heading out to the Baltimore Canyon was the ‘Double J’ catching 12 dolphin, 1 longfin tuna, and 1 yellowfin tuna.

Returning from the Poormans Canyon was the ‘Top Dog’ catching 1 longfin, 30 dolphin, while also releasing 1 blue marlin and 1 white marlin, the ‘Osprey’ catching 10 dolphin while also releasing 3 white marlin, and the ‘Marli’ releasing 3 white marlin.

Venturing out to the Washington Canyon was the ‘Cabana’ catching 1 swordfish and 24 dolphin, as well as the ‘First Light’ releasing 3 white marlin.

Reporting from the Rockpile was the ‘Buckshot’ releasing 5 white marlin, the ‘Reel Chaos’ catching 9 longfin tuna, 2 yellowfin tuna, 1 dolphin, and 1 white release, and lastly the ‘Reel Joy’ releasing 1 white marlin.

The docks came alive again for the first time in a few days and it was a nice change of pace.  We had a few boats have successful days fishing out of the Wilmington today.  The ‘Pumpin Hard’ returned with 4 dolphin, 1 wahoo and 2 white marlin releases.  Behind them was the crew of the ‘Blue Eyes’ returning with 3 white marlin releases.  The Norfolk was where the crew of the ‘Grande Pez’ headed to and they returned with 2 white releases.  The gang on the ‘Showtime’ also fished the Norfolk and had 6 white releases.  Finally the crew of the ‘Hydrosphere’ headed to the Washington and returned with 3 white releases and 30 dolphin.  Unfortunately it looks like tropical storm Laura and its remnants will be keeping the boats at the dock tomorrow but hopefully it clears out quickly and the pretty weather is right behind it!

As the month of August is quickly coming to an end we had another quiet day with only a few boats heading offshore.  The crew of the ‘Marli’ headed out to the Poorman’s and returned with 6 nice yellowfin tuna!   Next venturing to the Norfolk today was the crew of the ‘Wave Paver’ returning with 2 white releases and a blue marlin release.  Tomorrow it looks like a few more boats will head out and then all eyes will be on the weather to see how Tropical Storm Laura effects the rest of the weekend fishing forecast.

It’s been very quiet on the docks the past few days as it seems many of the crews are taking some time to rest up after a busy month of tournament fishing.  We had a few boats out today but only 2 of them gave us their reports.  The Poorman’s canyon was where they found the fish today.  The crew of the ‘Marli’ returned with 3 yellowfin.  Next we had the ‘Southern Run’ return with 2 dolphin and 1 yellowfin.  Hopefully we get to see some more action as the weekend approaches.  We will keep you posted!

The Mid-Atlantic has wrapped up after a long week of amazing scale action. We saw everything from a 91 lb White on the Blood Money, to a Blue Marlin at 815 lbs on the Griffin! The entire week was filled with laughs, cheers, and smiling faces all the way up until awards on Friday night. Thank you to all anglers who fished the tournament out of Sunset Marina and we hope to see you next year!

The atmosphere around the marina this weekend was a little quieter but the pretty weather made for some nice fishing action.  Today most of the boats headed to the Washington Canyon.  First back was the ‘Reel Chaos’ returning with 3 yellowfin, 2 dolphin, and a white marlin release.  Next we had the ‘White lightning’ who released a white and finally was the crew of the ‘Griffin’ returning with 2 white releases and 2 yellowfin.  The ‘Osprey’ fished out of the Baltimore today and returned with 10 nice dolphin.  The crew of the ‘Marli’ headed to the Poormans and returned with 6 yellowfin and also released a white.

There was a lot of activity at the docks today with the fleet spreading out in search of a good bite.  Our first two boats reported from the Washington Canyon today.  The ‘Canyon Blues’ had a white release and the ‘Roll Groove’ had 2 yellowfin, 4 dolphin, and 2 white releases.  The ‘Gret’s three J’s’ went to the Poormans and had 3 white releases and 1 blue release.  Fishing in the same spot was the ‘Tighten Up’ who returned with 2 white releases and 1 blue release.  The crew of the ‘Second Chance’ went to the Washington Canyon and had 2 white releases.  Finally we had the ‘No Quarter’ who fished in the Norfolk and had 2 white releases and 2 dolphin.  It was another busy fuel day today so it looks like people are kicking off their weekend early and heading out again tomorrow!

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!
