With the first holiday of the season over and the warmer days of summer upon us, we here at Sunset Marina are excited to see what the 2016 season has to bring!  Yellowfin Tuna fishing started off great, along with nice gaffer dolphin starting to trickle in as well.  Over the weekend we had the first White and Blue Marlin release out of Ocean City along with the successful tuna fishing.  Over the past couple days the tuna fishing has slowed with boats not limiting out but still returning with a good haul.  This was the case for the crew of the “Marli” who returned from the Washington with 5 yellowfin in the  35-40lb range, 5 nice gaffer dolphin and went 2/3 on white marlin!  Now is the time to book a charter because there is a lot of fish and not to many boats fishing.  This enhances your opportunity to fight the fish and not the crowds, so make sure you call the marina office today at 410-213-9600 to book with one of our many charters or you can book through our website www.ocsunsetmarina.com.  Tight Lines!

The holiday weekend is wrapping up and as it has been for the past couple days the Norfolk Canyon was the hot spot.  The fish seemed to be scattered out but we still had some nice reports back at the dock.  “Reel Fantasy” caught 11 yellowfin, 11 dolphin and 1 mako, “Osprey” brought back 9 yellowfin and 4 dolphin, “Buckshot” brought in 12 yellowfin and 4 gaffer dolphin, “My Cin” caught 3 yellowfin, 4 dolphin and a mako.  “Marli” had 5 dolphin and 2 yellowfin, “C-Boys” had a mix of a white marlin release, 3 yellowfin and 3 dolphin.  “Boss Hogg” was able to catch 6 nice yellowfin and 5 dolphin.  With this front coming in today it looks like the next couple days might be a wash out but the charters will hit it hard when the weather breaks!

Another beautiful day here at the marina,  people were buzzing around and fishing continues to be hot!  The action is still is down in the Norfolk with the “Max Bet” returned with 13 yellowfin and released a mako.  “Marli” continued their roll with 21 yellowfin and 1 mako.  With the first White Marlin of the season being caught yesterday, the crew of the “Boss Hogg” followed that up with the first Blue Marlin release!  They estimated the fish to be at 700lbs and they were able to grab some great action shots of it jumping out of the water.  They also boated 12 yellowfin to round out their day!  It looks like tomorrow will be another busy day so if you are in the area make sure you stop by the docks to see these amazing catches!
