With the wind picking up throughout the afternoon the guys had a rough ride in so hopefully it lays out enough tomorrow for them to get back out on the action!

It was another great day here on the docks as we saw flags flying, mahi and tuna come off the boats!  It looked like the Poormans Canyon was the hotspot for marlins where the following boats fished today.  “Osprey” released 7 white marlins and caught 5 dolphin,  “White Lighting” released 3 white marlin and had there limit of dolphin,  “Griffin” released 4 white marlin,  “Reel Joy” released 5 white marlin and caught 4 dolphin,  “Tighten Up” released 6 white marlin and caught 3 dolphin and 1 yellowfin,  “Buckshot” released 2 white marlin, 1 blue marlin and put 1 yellowfin and 5 dolphin in the box!  Down in the Washington the “My Cin” had a terrific day releasing 7 white marlin!  “Marli” released 4 white marlin and caught 20 dolphin,  “Boss Hogg” caught 2 yellowfin, 15 dolphin, 36 tilefish and 6 sea bass,  “Pumpin Hard” released 4 white marlin and the “Reel Chaos” released 6 white marlin!  It looks like they are gearing up for another great day tomorrow so stay tuned for their report!

Ocean City is known as the “White Marlin Capital of the World” and its name stayed true when the “Osprey” came back with a mess of flags flying!  Capt. Joe kept his crew busy releasing 17 white marlin, 1 blue marlin and put 29 dolphin in the box while fishing in the Poorman’s Canyon.  “Buckshot” also had a great day out in the Poorman’s as well releasing 5 white marlin and catching 15 dolphin!  Trying to get on the meat down in the Washington was the “Marli” who caught 6 yellowfin, 8 dolphin and released 1 white marlin.  “C-Boys” with Capt. Luke was down there as well and he put 36 dolphin in the box while also releasing 1 white marlin.

It looks like more people are itching to head out this weekend after being cooped up since the storm.  Hopefully the fishing stays hot and we can have the marlin bite go through the month of September!  With many boats catching wind of todays fishing it should be a busy weekend for us down on the docks, so come on by and take advantage of the beautiful weather and awesome sites!

With Tropical Storm Hermine behind us the fleet has been itching to get back out to the deep to see where the fish are.  The only boat to fish out of the marina today was the “Marli” who ventured down to the Washington Canyon and was rewarded with 3 white marlin releases, 1 blue marlin release and 31 dolphin!  Capt. Mark said the seas really laid out in the afternoon to make for a beautiful day!

As the tournament season is over we will get back to normal charter fishing operations along with many boats taking advantage of the great white marlin bite that occurs over the course of September.  The fishing season is far from over here out of Ocean City so if you are looking to get a trip in, now is the time to book.  There is plenty of marlins, mahi, and tunas out there to make your trip memorable so make sure you contact the marina office or visit our charter directory to see our first class charter fleet!

As we prepare for Tropical Storm Hermine to affect us this weekend we had a couple boats brave the seas and get one more day of fishing in.  The “Reel Chaos” fished the Baltimore and released 6 white marlin while the “Artemis” was in the same spot and released 5 white marlin!  Hopefully the weather doesn’t effect fishing as it has been great this past week.

As for this storm, we should see some sustained winds for Saturday and Sunday with rain and a little storm surge.  Boaters we urge you take precaution and double up any lines and tie down any loose equipment on your vessels.  Any lines or products you may need can be purchased at Sunset Provisons throughout this coming weekend.  Stay safe and dry everyone!

The first day of September started off gloomy and rainy but ended with sunny skies as many of our boats returned to the dock with flags flying.  The “Boss Hogg” fished in the Washington today and caught 3 yellowfin and released 2 White Marlin.  Fishing in the Washington with them was the “No Quarter” who returned with 10 yellowfin releases, 10 yellowfin in the box and 1 white Marlin release.  The rest of the fleet was fishing in the Baltimore today.  The “Reel Chaos” had 2 white releases while the “Buckshot” and the “Blood Money” each had 12 White releases.  The “Miss Annie” had both a Blue and a White release and the “Grande Pez” also had a Blue release along with 4 White releases.  Finally the “Billfisher” had 9 White Marlin releases.  We also would like to note that yesterday the crew of the “My Cin” had a great day fishing in the Baltimore returning with 7 White Marlin releases, 1 yellowfin, and 5 dolphin.

It was a windy day here at the marina and offshore with not many boats heading out.  The “Marli” went back down to the Washington and returned to the docks with 7 yellowfin and 1 dolphin.  A couple private boats headed out with the “Big Oh” marlin fishing and released 5 white marlin and the “Shark Byte” released 4 white marlin.  It looks like a more boats are going to head out tomorrow before bad weather possibly hits us the end of this week so stay tuned for tomorrow nights report!

With the 25th Mid-Atlantic Tournament under wraps it was yet again another great tournament this year!  We saw some great action at the scales and some awesome catches.  Congratulations to all the winners and participant’s!  A special thank you to the Mid-Atlantic crew for letting us be a co host to this great tournament for another year and we look forward to next year!

With tournament season almost done we get to go back to a little normalcy and the charter boats are soaking up the last fishing days of summer before it shuts down.  It looks like the tuna bite in the Washington kicked off with the following boats fishing there today.  “My Cin” caught 4 yellowfin, “Marli” put 14 yellowfin in the box,  “Fish Tricks” hit the docks with 10 yellowfin and 1 dolphin,  “White Lightning” hit the docks with 5 yellowfin, “Grande Pez” had 3 white releases down there as well.  Marlin fishing stays consistent with the following boats heading out to the Wilmington.  “DA Sea” released 4 white marlin,  “Espadon” caught 8 white marlin and 1 dolphin and “Reel Chaos” released 7 white marlin and 2 dolphin!  There is still great fishing left for the season so call the marina office at 410-213-9600 to book a trip of a lifetime!

The weather is looking unfishable tomorrow so day 1 of the Mid-Atlantic Tournament will most likely be a lay day.  Under the tent there was a lot of action with 157 boats officially signed up between the two ports and over 3 Million in prize money!  It should be another great tournament with giant payouts for the winners!  Good luck to all participants this week!

Fishing today was the “Zipper” with a white marlin release in the Rockpile, “My Cin” caught 3 white marlin below the Washington and the “Marli” had a mix of 1 yellowfin, 16 tilefish, 3 sea bass, 1 golden tile inside the Washington!

It was day one for the Poor Girls Open and we had a bunch of happy ladies return back to the docks!  This is such a great event and Bahia Marina does such a wonderful job raising money for Breast Cancer Awareness!  Out in the canyons it was a dolphin kind of day with the “Marli” putting 11 in the box along with 9 tilefish!  “Osprey” was out there as well and they caught 12 nice dolphin along with releasing 2 white marlin!  “Reel Chaos” went to the Poor Mans and caught 7 dolphin and 25 tilefish.  The next two days will consist of more crews fishing the Poor Girls Open so we are sure to see some pink around the docks!

Don’t forget that next week is the Mid-Atlantic tournament with weigh ins here at Sunset Marina: Monday-Friday, 5pm-9pm.  It is always an action packed tournament with lots of weigh in’s so make sure you stop on by and check it out!

As everyone starts to get back to normal after the long tournament week of the 2016 White Marlin Open we only get a week break until the Mid-Atlantic Tournament starts up.  A little recap of last week is that marlin fishing was as good as it has been in years and our marina had 23/30 of the top release boats in the tournament!  We just want to thank everyone who fished out of Sunset Marina during the week and cant wait until next year!

As normal charter fishing begins to resume it looks like marlins and mahi mahi are in store for right now and there is some decent fishing!  “Marli” fished the Poormans and caught 11 dolphin, 1 yellowfin, and released 3 white marlin!  “Espadon” was in the mix as well catching 4 dolphin 1 yellowfin and released a blue marlin.  “Buckshot” fished the Rockpile and ended up with 25 tilefish, 7 sea bass, 1 dolphin and released 1 white marlin!  If you are looking to get in on some marlin fishing along with a mix of meat fish now is the time to go so call our marina office at 410-213-9600 or visit our charter directory on our website to book your  trip of a lifetime!

As most of our White Marlin Open boats have arrived it was a busy day around the docks!  It is amazing how in one day things can get chaotic but in a good way!  We didn’t receive many fishing reports but the marlin bite seems to be consistent with boats coming in with flags flying.  “My Cin” went overnight in the Wilmington and returned back with 9 white marlin releases, 1 dolphin and released a 300lb hammerhead shark!  Tomorrow will consist of last minute preparations for Monday and the last of our tournament boats should be arriving!
