It was a beautiful day down at the docks on this wonderful Independence Day!  The temperature made for the perfect easy-breezy festive type of atmosphere and all of our patrons seemed to enjoy being able to  celebrate their holiday here at Sunset Marina.  The pools were packed with lots of families, the in-and out service of the boatel was steady all day, and the sportfishing boats were out looking for the fish.  Once again all of our boats that went today were reporting out of the Baltimore Canyon.  The “Marli” returned with 7 yellowfin while the team on the “Whisky Kilo” had 3 yellowfin, 3 mahi, and 1 white marlin release.  The “Tara Jessica” had 6 yellowfin in the box while the “Cabana” had 9 mahi, 1 blue marlin release, and 4 white marlin releases.  Finally we had the crew of the “Boss Hogg” return with 4 white marlin releases.  Wherever you are and however you are celebrating, the team here at Sunset Marina wishes you a happy and safe July 4th!

It was an exciting Saturday afternoon here at the marina with a lot of fishing action.  We had about 25-3o boats head out there today between Sunset and Fisherman’s and we saw a lot of them return with decent catches .  We had two boats fishing out of the Poorman’s Canyon today.  The “Marli” had 1 yellowfin and so did the crew on the “Primary Search.”  Our only boat that fished out of the Washington canyon was the crew on the “Layin Lines” returning with 2 yellowfin tuna and a nice big eye tuna.  All of our other boats went to the Baltimore Canyon today.  The “Absolute Pleasure” returned with 6 yellowfin.  The “Tara Jessica” had 6 dolphin with one weighing in at about 30 lbs!  The “Grande Pez” released a white marlin and the team on the “Chain Reaction” also released a white marlin and had a yellowfin tuna.  Finally the crew on the “Reel Tight” returned with 2 yellowfin tuna.  It looks like we have some weather coming in that may slow the fishing down a bit but hopefully it won’t be too long before we have some exciting things to report back to you!
