Happy September, anglers! The past few days have been slow at the docks, with nobody fishing due to some rough seas offshore. Thank changes tomorrow- with a good chunk of the fleet heading out to find the fish in time for the Big Fish Classic and the Challenge Cup. The only boat to fish from our charter fleet today was ‘Reel Chaos’, who fished the Poor Mans and released 2 White Marlin. The crew has plans to fish tomorrow as well. We expect to see plenty of reports after tomorrow, so be sure to check back in with us to find out the latest reports!

In regards to Hurricane Irma, we are closely monitoring this storm and urge or customers to do the same. At this time Irma is just too far out to know exactly if and where the storm will make landfall. However, with any severe weather event, preparation is key- and we recommend doubling up on lines, securing any loose items, and adjusting lines for a rising tide. We will be sure to update our customers via our website and Facebook should any important updates arise.

It’s been very quiet on the docks the past few days as the offshore forecast forced the boats to remain docked at the marina.  Today was the first day that provided a window of opportunity for them to sneak offshore once again.  We unfortunately only had two boats venture out today while many of our other friends packed up and set sail for other ports.  The ‘Marli’ was the first to return to the dock and caught two nice size yellowfin tuna and also had 6 dolphin.  The only other boat that went out today was the crew of the ‘Conspiracy’ who had two white marlin releases.  Both boats were fishing in the Washington Canyon.  The Marlin Club Labor Day tournament has been canceled for the weekend but hopefully some of our boats and crews get to go out and find the fish this holiday weekend!! Stay Tuned!
