Daily Report

The Mid-Atlantic has wrapped up after a long week of amazing scale action. We saw everything from a 91 lb White on the Blood Money, to a Blue Marlin at 815 lbs on the Griffin! The entire week was filled with laughs, cheers, and smiling faces all the way up until awards on Friday night. Thank you to all anglers who fished the tournament out of Sunset Marina and we hope to see you next year!

The atmosphere around the marina this weekend was a little quieter but the pretty weather made for some nice fishing action.  Today most of the boats headed to the Washington Canyon.  First back was the ‘Reel Chaos’ returning with 3 yellowfin, 2 dolphin, and a white marlin release.  Next we had the ‘White lightning’ who released a white and finally was the crew of the ‘Griffin’ returning with 2 white releases and 2 yellowfin.  The ‘Osprey’ fished out of the Baltimore today and returned with 10 nice dolphin.  The crew of the ‘Marli’ headed to the Poormans and returned with 6 yellowfin and also released a white.

It was quite the eventful night down on the docks with a bunch of boats out fishing for the ladies tournament! With a majority of our fleet fishing in the Poormans Canyon, there were a few boats that ventured out on there on in search of fish.

After the craziness of the extended WMO tournament last week, things are finally starting to feel like they are getting back to normal at the marina.  We did have some boats head out today to see what they could find and they returned happy.  The Baltimore Canyon was where our first two boats fished out of today.  The ‘Cabana’ returned first with 7 white releases and a yellowfin.  Next we had the ‘Reel Chaos’ return with 2 yellowfin and 4 white releases.  Our last boat in the fleet to head out to the Poormans canyon was the ‘Fish On’.  They came back to the dock with 4 dolphin, 2 white releases and a blue marlin release.  It was a steady day of fueling and ice orders which means tomorrow is going to be a busy one.  We will keep you posted on how they make out!

It was definitely a change of pace today at the marina with more and more tournament boats coming in daily and we also had a healthy number of boats head offshore today.  The Poormans was where they found the fish today.  First we had the ‘Zipper’ return with 1 yellowfin, followed by the ‘Marli’ with 7 yellowfin.  The ‘Pumpin Hard’ had 3 white releases and 4 yellowfin.  Next was the ‘C Boys’ with 2 white releases, a wahoo, and 5 yellowfin.  The ‘Electric Bills’ had a white release and the ‘Full Pull’ released 2 whites, a blue marlin, and caught 1 yellowfin.  Finally was the ‘Roll Groove’ with 4 dolphin and 3 white releases.  The ‘Osprey’ was our only boat in the Massey’s today returning with 9 yellowfin.  Looks like a lot of boats are heading out again tomorrow.  Good luck to all the lady angler fishing the 12th annual Heels and Reel tournament!
