It was another hot and humid day today and the busiest spot at the marina was the pools.  We did have a few boats that went out today and all of them reported to be fishing in the Poorman’s Canyon today.  The Marli came back with 3 yellowfin.  The crew on the Boss Hogg had 2 yellowfin and finally we had the Southern Seas returning with 1 yellowfin and a white marlin release.  Looks like we do have a boat or two that decided to fish overnight tonight as well.  The ice orders tonight are a good indication that tomorrow we should have a fair amount of boats heading offshore so stay tuned!

It was hot and humid today but that did not stop the fleet from venturing out offshore.  First back to the dock was the Oprey returning from the Poorman’s with 3 yellowfin.  Next we had the team of the Reel Joy fishing in the Washington and returning with a 188 lb big eye tuna.  Also fishing in the Washington was the Boss Hogg who returned with 2 yellowfin and a mahi.  The crew on the Trailer Trash headed to the Baltimore Canyon today and returned with 1 yellowfin, 12 blue line tile, and they also released a white marlin.  Finally the boys on the Moore Bills fished in the Massey’s today and they returned with 5 yellowfin tuna.  Looks like we have a few more boats heading out tomorrow so we will keep you posted on how they make out!!

The excitement was in the air today as many boats spent the day prepping for the 35th annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament.  You could feel the switch as we move further into the height of the tournament fishing season.  The day was spent fueling, constantly running trash, and of course delivering ice.  Every ice chest we have is just about empty at this point of the evening, a clear sign of a busy fishing day tomorrow!  Registration was a great success  with 109 boats entering the tournament and a payout of $1,122,530!   Be sure and visit http://www.octunatournament.com for more details and live streaming of the weigh-ins.  We did have a few boats that fished today.  The Bar South headed to the Poor Man’s canyon and came back with 2 yellowfin and 1 white release.  The Marli fished in the Baltimore and had 3 yellowfin and 30 tile fish.

It was a scorcher out there today, and the tuna bite was just as hot! We had a few boats out fishing today and they returned with some nice catches. First was “Boss Hogg” returning with 4 yellowfin out of the Washington Canyon. The “Big Stick” returned with 4 yellowfin, a very impressive 216lb big eye and a white release, fishing in the Poor Mans Canyon.  The “Marli” returned with 3 yellowfin, fishing in the Washington Canyon as well.

We hope to see you there!

The docks were still busy here following the holiday weekend.  Many people seem to be here for the week enjoying some vacation time as the foot traffic was steady throughout the day.  We did have some boats head offshore returning home with some nice cathches!  All of our boats today reported from the Washington Canyon.  The team on the Double J returned with a nice size big eye tuna.  The Boss Hogg had 3 yellowfin in the box today.  The New Release had 6 yellowfin to throw on the dock while the crew on the Big Stick had 2 yellowfin.  Finally we had the Marli pulling in with 11 yellowfin and a white marlin release.  Looks like tomorrow will be a busy prep day as our boats start getting ready for the 35th annual Ocean City Tuna tournament.  Registration starts Thursday July 7th at 3pm at the Ocean City Fishing Center.  Be sure to check out http://www.octunatournament.com for more information on tournament entry and rules!

The cloudy start to the day turned into a beautiful evening here at the docks.  Many people were out and about enjoying their holiday weekend both at the Restaurant, in the ship stores and on the docks as well.  The weather forecast today allowed for the boats to head out once again to see what they could find.  All of our boats fishing today went to the Washington Canyon.  The common catch of the day was 6 yellowfin tuna with the crews of the Osprey, Hydrosphere, and Boss Hogg matching catches.  The Primary Search had 3 yellowfin tuna and the team on the Marli had 7 yellowfin tuna.  We are looking forward to see what the 4th brings tomorrow!!

We are entering into the month of July just right here at the marina.  Kicking off the holiday weekend we had a few boats venture out, successfully finding the tuna bite.  We had a few boats fishing in the Poorman’s today.  The crew on the Double J caught 6 yellowfin and a mahi.  The New Release returned with 2 yellowfin.  The rest of our boats fishing today were fishing in the Washington Canyon.  First back was the crew on the Husevo with 3 yellowfin.  Next we had the Marli with 9 yellowfin in the ice box.  Finally was the crew on the Bar South returning with 5 yellowfin.  Looks like the weather offshore is going to keep people at the docks but don’t let that ruin your holiday weekend.  Stop by, grab a cocktail, enjoy the bands playing at Teasers or stock up on your gear at both Atlantic Tackle and Sunset Provisions before heading off to those holiday barbecues!!

Today was a slow day here at the marina.  There were 10 charter boats that went out today and it was slim pickings for a lot of them.  The only  boat to come back to the docks with fish was the Big Stick.  They started the day by trolling for tunas in the morning, but had no luck.   In the afternoon they decided to try their luck fishing for swordfish.  Their decision paid off, returning to the dock with 2 swordfish.   The first swordfish weighed in at 288 lbs and the second was around 90 lbs.  They reported fishing in the Poor Mans Canyon.  We will keep you posted on what returns to the docks tomorrow.
