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...

Out with two dads and four jr anglers for a half day of nearshore trolling action. The bite was awesome and everyone had a great time catching Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel.

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. Last bite came as we're clearing in the lines at the days end but that yellowfin proved to be too much for the leader at boat side.

Some days NOAA gets the forecast correct......today they didn't! After 25 miles I decided to turn the boat and make a sixty minute ride to the hotdog, large shoal 40 miles offshore. The wind and waves were gnarly but the throwback bluefin were plentiful. Worked at Hill until we retired of dealing with the small fish only finding one legal size bluefin for the box. Work some other large shoals in...

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. Sometime around 10:30 the bites dried up and we spent the rest of the day searching only adding one more Yellowfin and two mahi to the box.

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.

Ran 62 miles offshore with a crew of four looking for tuna. First bite takes about one hour and after pulling good drag the bar goes slack????? Three of our first four bites have that outcome. Finally around noon we get a couple bites that stay glued. Back in the slip with only three Yellowfin in the box out of seven bites.......darn rubber hooks! The people were cool and very happy with their...

Two days of strong windd force us to hang close to the beach on half day fun trips. Both days produce good catches of Snapper Bluefish which are perfect for teenagers as well as a 250 lb sand tiger shark something our high school senior will never forget wrestling with.
