With many of our boats staying overnight fishing the Big Fish Classic we should see a lot of action tomorrow as they return from their trips.  It looked like the marlin bite was down in the Poormans with a couple boats who fished it had close to 15 bites a piece, so we should see some big fish and flags flying tomorrow afternoon!

While not many boats fished today the marina was still buzzing with activity as more of our tournament boats continue to come in for the season!  The docks were full and the crews were busy outfitting their boats and slips for the next few weeks of tournament fishing.  Lots of boats were fueling up today and it appears that tomorrow should be a good day out on the water!  Hopefully we get some good reports as this weekend marks the 2nd Annual Big Fish Classic tournament out of Talbot Street Pier!

After a blowout yesterday the fish were certainly biting on this beautiful Friday!  We finally saw a nice class of yellowfin ‘s again in the 40-50lb range with boats who ventured down in the Washington.  We saw a lot of chunks taken out of some fish from the sharks looking for a quick meal  so they are an inconvenience to deal with once some fish are hooked.  “Marli” was able to pick up 3 nice yellowfins along with “Reel Chaos” who caught 4 yellowfin and 3 dolphin.  “Boss Hogg”  also fought off the sharks but was able to come home with 3 yellowfin, 2 dolphin, 10 tilefish and 30 seabass.  The hot spot for marlin today was the Baltimore with boats having multiple releases while seeing a decent amount of fish.  “Osprey” released 1 blue marlin while seeing 2 others and caught 5 dolphin,  “Griffin” racked up 4 white marlin while catching 3 dolphin,  “Billfisher” had a great day with 3 white marlin releases,  “Lights Out” had the hot hand today releasing 5 white marlins!  “White Lightening”  also returned with having an awesome day releasing 2 white marlin, 1 blue marlin and 14 nice gaffer dolphin!  “No Quarter”  stayed a little more inshore and picked up 2 yellowfin while “Grande Pez”  went up to the Wilmington and caught 1 dolphin and released a white marlin.
