Over the past week, we’ve seen boats fish far and wide from the Poor Mans to the Baltimore, and now, the Washington. White Marlin are becoming more popular in the water as well.

It has been a quiet few days around the dock so it was nice to have some of our fleet venture out today!   The Espadon was the only boat fishing in the Washington today and they returned with 5 yellowfin tuna.  The rest of our fleet fished in the Poor Mans.  The first boat back to the dock was the ‘Osprey’ and they caught 7 yellowfin and released another 4 yellowfin tuna.  The Marli brought back 2 nice yellowfin and also a dolphin.  The Reel Toy had an exciting day catching 9 yellowfin, 1 dolphin, and releasing a white marlin.  It looks like many more will be venturing out tomorrow as the docks are still buzzing with people ordering ice and getting fuel so be sure to stayed tuned for tomorrow’s report!!

If anybody said they weren’t fishing the Poor Mans today- they were lying! The Poor Man’s was full of Tuna today- resulting in great catches being brought back to the docks!

Both the ‘Siren’s Song’ and Theresa Jean returned with 2 Bluefin, and both the ‘Marli’ and ‘Pumpin Hard’ came back with 3 Yellowfin.

1 Day remains in the Small Boat Tournament, however with only 1 boat fishing tomorrow don’t expect any big changes to the leader board. The MSSA Tournament at Atlantic Tackle also continues its final day tomorrow, so there will certainly be some action continuing on the docks to finish out the weekend.

We’ve got more Tuna than you can handle at the Sunset Marina docks! Today we saw more Tuna than we have seen all year- with massive numbers of Yellowfin, Bluefin, and Big Eye Tuna showing up.

In other news, we learned today that the ‘Fish Whistle’ out of Indian River caught and released the first White Marlin. While that is very exciting news to report- they did not fish out of Ocean City’s inlet, which means $11,000 is still up for grabs! Local businesses (Sunset Marina, OCFC, and Atlantic Tackle included) teamed up to donate $6,000 on top of the $5,000 that the Town of OC awards to the first White Marlin out of the Ocean City inlet. So, a whopping $11,000 is still up for grabs!

The heat wave broke today but the great fishing still continues!  The ‘Osprey’ was the first boat to return to the dock and they did not disappoint.  They fished in the Baltimore and caught 3 bluefins and released another 24.  The Poormans was the hot spot for the rest of the fleet today.  ‘Pumpin Hard’ showed off more than just their fresh paint job, hitting the dock with 4 bluefin, 1 yellowfin, and 2 dolphin.  The ‘Marli’ caught 4 bluefin, 1 yellowfin, and released another 30 bluefin tuna.  The ‘Magic Moment’ had an exciting day as well catching 2 big eye tuna, one weighing in at 164 lbs!  They also had 2 yellowfin tuna and 1 bluefin.  The time is now to call the marina office and book your next fishing charter 410-213-9600!

The streak continues- Bluefin’s are taking over our area waters! All of our boats fished the Poor Mans today and had some extraordinary reports to give!
