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! The ‘Osprey’ returned with 1 Big Eye and 3 Bluefin, and released 9 additional Bluefin. The ‘Marli’ brought back 4 Big Eyes and 4 Bluefin, releasing 20 Bluefins. And if you thought that was a lot, the ‘White Lightning’ can top it! They brought their crew back 4 Bluefin, but released a whopping 31 Bluefin’s!

The search for “Whitey’ (Ocean City’s first White Marlin) continues- lets see if this week brings what everyone has been so patiently waiting for!

It’s raining Tuna’s at Sunset Marina! Only two boats chose to fish today, but they certainly did not come back empty handed! The ‘Marli’ returned with 3 Blue Fins and 1 Big Eye, and the ‘Rhonda’s Osprey’ brought 4 Bluefin and 1 Dolphin back to the docks! Both boats fished the Poor Man’s.

The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament kicked off today- be sure to follow the action at the link Here

The Bluefin have arrived! We saw a bunch of Yellowfin over the past week, and now that seems to have switched to an awesome Bluefin bite! The Baltimore was the choice for the ‘Marli’ and ‘Boss Hogg’ today, who both caught a few Bluefin Tuna and a couple dolphin. The ‘Zipper’ visited the Poor Mans, coming across 3 Yellowfin and bringing those back to the docks.

The ‘Blood Money’ returned this evening from an overnighter, with a whopping 18 Yellowfin and 1 Mako! Captain Pino did not give us his location. The big news of the evening was on the ‘Nauti Norwegian’, who brought a massive 202 lb Bluefin back! The water is certainly getting warmer, ands fishing is picking up- so ready your rods and fuel up the boat and join in on the action!

Nasty weather has kept several boats at the docks the past couple days- however today changed all of that, with several boaters heading out to see what they can find! We saw a variety of dolphin and yellowfin today, certainly a pretty sight after last weeks foul weather.

Both ‘The Zipper’ and the ‘Grande Pez’ fished the Washington today, finding some dolphin and a few yellowfin. “The Zipper’ caught one dolphin, and the ‘Grande Pez’ returned with 4 Yellowfin and 2 Dolphin. Just outside of the Washington was where the ‘Boss Hogg’ crew decided on, returning with 10 Dolphin and releasing a fairly large Bluefin.

The ‘Reel Chaos’ Crew fished the Lumps, returning with 4 Big Eye Tuna, 1 Yellowfin, and 2 Dolphin. The ‘Max Bet’ wasn’t far off with 6 Yellowfin and 1 Dolphin. The ‘Marli’ crew fished the ‘Rockpile’ today, bringing back 2 Big Eye and 7 Dolphin to the docks!

Great fishing is certainly in the forecast- be sure to book your charter trip with the Sunset Marina office today!

Today was all about the sharks! As the ‘Mako Mania’ came to a close, anglers trekked out in search of the ‘big one’ to wrap up Bahia’s fishing tournament. The ‘Jezebel’ caught a slew of fish, including 1 Mako, 1 Tiger shark release, and 1 Dusky Shark- from the 25 Fathom line. Fishing the Hot Dog was the ‘No Slack’ with 1 Mako, and the ‘C-Boys’ who released 2 Mako’s, 2 Blue Sharks, and 1 Sand Shark. Captain Mark Hoos on the ‘Marli’ fished the Massey Canyon, and released 7 Blue Sharks. The ‘No Quarter’ crew fished the Muff Diver Wrecks and brought 1 Mako back to the docks.

The Big Rock Blue Marlin tournament kicks off on June 11th and is sure to bring camaraderie and excitement to the docks – we are excited to see what the summer has in store!

Today we saw a much slower day at the docks- but we still saw a few fish brought back to the docks. The ‘Zipper’ crew brought back 2 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Mahi from the PoorMans, and the ‘Boss Hogg’ fished 120 miles to return with 3 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dolphin. The ‘Blood Money’ decided to fish an overnighter tonight, and we are excited to see what that trip bring back to the docks.

Several fisherman are expected to fish tomorrow for the last day of Bahia Marina’s “Mako Mania”- stay tuned for more at-the-dock action!

Mako Mania kicked off today- and in turn kicked off the season for several boats out of Sunset Marina. Some searched for tuna, most searched for shark, but everyone was looking for Ocean City’s first White Marlin (Although no luck). We saw a wide array of fish at the docks today- the ‘Marli’ released 4 Blue Sharks and 2 Brown Sharks from the Washington, the ‘Boss Hogg’ traveled 120 miles to return with 6 Yellowfin and 2 Dolphin, and the ‘Dog House’ fished the Rockpile and returned with a variety of tilefish, sea bass, dolphin, and a mako!

Despite some cloudy weather in the forecast, the ‘Marli’ chose to fish the Hot Dog and reported a release of 6 Blue Sharks! Dreary weather throughout the week may keep some of the boats at the docks, but we are certain a few will trek out over the weekend in search of Ocean City’s first White Marlin.

Memorial Day showed promise for a great start to summer- with a few boats returning with Sharks. On Friday we saw a 230 lb Thresher from the C-Boys, and today brought us a 202 lb Mako from the crew of the “No Quarter”! Captain Kyle Peet also reported releasing 12 Blue sharks. The ‘Marli’ fished the Hot Dog to find 24 Blue Sharks and 1 Tiger shark, all of which they released.

Still no sign of Whitey as of today, which mean the first white marlin prize for Ocean City is still up for grabs! This year is even more special, since several businesses (Sunset Marina and Atlantic Tackle being two of those businesses) teamed up to provide the White Marlin prize money when the town planned to remove it from their funding. The town of Ocean City has since decided to keep the prize money, increasing the purse to roughly $15,000!

We had a great start to the holiday weekend here at Sunset!  The sun was shining and temperatures were perfect for the grand opening of the marina pools.  Today was also the first day of the Marlin Club’s Memorial Day Tournament with all 13 boats in the tournament out fishing.  Scales are still open right now so be sure to check in tomorrow for Day 1 results.  We had a few of our charter boats go out shark fishing today and they had a successful day.  The “C-boys” returned with a 230 lb thresher shark which they caught while fishing the Parking Lot.  The “Osprey”  went to the Hot dog today releasing 6 blue sharks and catching a 90 lb Mako shark.  If you haven’t done so yet be sure to call the marina office to book your next charter at 410-213-9600!

It was another beautiful day here at Sunset Marina.  Many of the boat crews were wondering about getting their boats ready for the season and sharing a few fishing tales while they were at it.  A true reminder that the season is upon us!  The “Marli” ventured out to the Norfolk again today and returned with 18 nice size dolphin.  If you haven’t made plans for tomorrow night yet be sure to stop by Sunset Grille for the annual Pirate Party on the docks 6-9pm.  Proceeds benefit  Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services.  Dress in your best Pirate garb and enjoy the food and live entertainment!!
