Out with the crew from Kramer Overhead Door for a day of tuna fishing. Shortly after leaving the dock it was clear that one of the guys was not having a good day. After an hour of trolling and no improvement in his condition I made the offer to go grab some tilefish and get our patient back to land. Their decision took about one second, yes, let's do that. The bite was great and in no time we had...

Another day out chasing the tunas but today's bite was definitely slower than the last few days. Managed to put three in the box with a couple bites that didn't come tight.

Out was high hopes after yesterday's catch. Good morning started off good putting several fish in the box including a couple near misses that should have gone in the box too.

Out with Larry and the gang from York PA for a day of tuna fishing. The bite was steady throughout the entire morning and by shortly afternoon we had a four person (12 fish + 1 for the crew) limit in the boat. Larry even managed to get the last yellowfin to crush a rod he was jigging after the fish missed the bait several times.

Out with a crew from PA for a day of Yellowfin hunting. Action started off slow with only one fish in the box by 8:30. A slight change to the spread and everything changed. Ended the day a little early with 8 nice Yellowfin and 2 Mahi in the box.

Today's tilefish trip started off the wrong way with an alarm clock malfunction causing me to run the trip without a mate. Fortunately the bite was outstanding and before the clock struck noon we had our 30 tile fish in the box including a couple hammer size bluelines.
