It was a beautiful, but somewhat quite day here at Sunset Marina. To start off the week we had 2 of our charter boats venture out in search of the elusive yellowfin tuna. Traveling to the Washington Canyon today was the “Reel Chaos” catching 5 very decent sized yellowfin and 1 dolphin. The “Marli” headed out to the Poorman’s Canyon bringing back 8 yellowfin. Also fishing in the Poorman’s was the “Boss Hogg” bringing back 9 yellowfin to the docks. With the weather and fishing heating up its only a matter of time until our fleet ventures out again, so stay tuned!!

Happy July, folks! We are happy to ring in the new month with news of awesome fishing all across the board. While the tuna’s have slacked off from the epic bite we saw previously, the marlin bite makes up for it as numbers increase each day. The ‘Rhonda’s Osprey’ fished the Norfolk, throwing 4 Dolphin on the docks. The rest of the fleet fished the Washington, including the ‘Buckshot’ (1 White release and 4 Dolphin), ‘Poor Sport’ (2 White Releases), ‘Marli’ (7 Yellowfin), ‘Reel Chaos’ (2 Dolphin, 1 White Release), ‘Grande Pez’ (3 Dolphin, 1 White Release), and ‘Boss Hogg’ (1 White release).

Today also concludes the Canyon Kick-Off, who had record breaking participants and a massive payout to the winners. The Ocean City Tuna tournement, hosted by the Ocean City Fishing Center, is fast approaching and will run from July 13-15. Last years payout topped a massive $785,000, and this year we are hoping to top those numbers! Check out the link HERE to learn more about the tournament and how to register.

Day two of the Canyon Kick-Off was intense, with a good chunk of the marina fishing leaving some docks looking like its the White Marlin Open! The ‘Rhonda’s Osprey’ was back before the rest of the fleet with 22 Dolphin and 2 Yellowfin. In the Rock Pile was the ‘Fish Tricks’, who returned with 4 Yellowfin. The Washington was a hot spot for the day, with the ‘Buckshot'(1 White release and 2 Dolphin), and the Brenda Lou (3 White Marlin releases) returning with a happy crew. The ‘Roncito’ fished the Wilmington, releasing three white marlin throughout their day. The ‘Fish On’ chose to fish the Norfolk, releasing a whopping 4 White Marlin and 1 Blue Marlin. The ‘Boss Hogg’ traveled all over today, returning with 3 Dolphin and 2 White releases. Lastly, the ‘Special Situation’ released 1 White Marlin and 1 Blue Marlin, and did not provide a location on where they fished.

The third and final day of the Canyon Kick-OFf starts tomorrow, what better time to stop by Sunset Grille, grab a crush, and watch the weigh ins?

It’s day one of the Canyon Kickoff, hosted by the Ocean City Marlin Club, and we’ve seen more of the amazing fishing action that we’ve grown so accustomed to throughout 2018! Loads of tuna’s were caught marina-wide with plenty of marlin releases mixed it.

The ‘Tighten Up’ fished the Washington, and brought 2 Yellowfin and 5 Dolphin to the docks, releasing 1 White Marlin. The ‘Reel Chaos’ fished the Rock Pile, catching 8 nice Yellowfin from their day on the water. The ‘Fish On’ caught and released 2 White Marlin from the 800 Square. The rest of the fleet could have been found in the Poor Man’s, with the ‘C-Boys’ (6 Yellowfin, 1 Dolphin, 1 White release, and 1 Blue release), ‘Marli’ (8 Yellowfin, 1 Dolphin, and 1 White release), ‘Boss Hogg’ (6 Yellowfin and 2 White releases), and the ‘Blood Money’ (5 Yellowfins, 3 White releases, and 2 Dolphin, also fishing the Washington) all having great days on the water.

Stay tuned through the next couple days as we follow day 2 and 3 of the Canyon Kick-Off, which is sure to bring some excitement to the docks as we advance into the peak season.

It was a gorgeous day here at Sunset Marina, as well as offshore,  allowing a few of our charter boats to sneak away into the deep. The hot spot today seemed to be the Wilmington Canyon, producing a plethora of yellowfin and dolphin. The Boss Hogg returned back to the dock ahead of the fleet with an impressive 16 yellowfin and 10 dolphin. The Reel Chaos with 6 yellowfin and 8 dolphin and the Marli with 9 yellowfin and 6 dolphin. Venturing away from the fleet was the Espadon, heading out to the Jackspot . There they were able to catch 3 yellowfin, 2 dolphin, and 1 white marlin release. With the tremendous weather rolling in and the Ocean City Marlin Club’s Canyon Kick Off tournament this weekend you can expect the fish to be biting and the docks to be busy!!

The marina was a little quieter today with only a few of our boats heading offshore to see what they could find.  The crew of the ‘Cabana’ returned from the Poor Man’s with 4 yellowfin tuna and 5 dolphin.  Fishing with them in the Poor Man’s was the ‘Marli’ who caught 6 yellowfin tuna, 6 dolphin, and released a blue marlin estimated to be around 350lbs!  Our only other boat that went out today was the ‘Boss Hogg’ who returned from the Baltimore Canyon releasing 1 white marlin, and catching 13 yellowfin.  As you can see the fishing action remains hot so don’t forget to call the marina office to book your next trip at 410-213-9600!
