Headed east with a group of guys wanting to try their hand at the tilefish. The bite was outstanding with some real hammers mixed in. Spent a little time looking for a wahoo after the tilefish but all we could manage for a couple Fat Albert's.

Out with two ladies who work together for a day of fun. Started the morning pulling our limit of mahi off some lobster gear in the Baltimore canyon. From there we turned our attention to the tilefish. After putting our limited tilefish in the box and still having a lot of time left in the day we throw out a trolling spread. After 2 hours of trolling without a bite and plenty of fish in the box...

Ran 55 miles with a crew of six to do some ball hopping in the Baltimore Canyon. Competition for the gear amongst the boats was pretty stiff but we managed to find a couple that had not been hit yet and put almost 30 mahi in the box before running out of gear. Made a ten mile run to the tile fish hole and found an outstanding bite with some truly hammer sized blue line tile fish.

Ran just under 30 miles with a crew of four looking for some mid-range mahi. Worked about a dozen sets of flags before we reach our limit (40). With a little bit of time left in the day we stop at a shoal 8 miles off the inlet and spend some time catching greenies.

Ran to the deep today in super calm seas with a crew of meat hunters from South Central PA. Started the day at one of our tilefish hotspots and quickly began filling the box. Hit our limit in under two hours so we picked up and ran to a wreck that lays in 230' of water. The drift was absolutely perfect for this piece but the fishing was average at best. After a couple hours of adding a few nice...

Ran to the deep today on a combo trip with a crew of 3. Shortly after lines in I noticed a small bilp on my radar and point out way. Turns out to be a high flyer and a lobster ball that apparently has not been touched and was loaded with bailer mahi. In short order we have our limit in the box. We make a 45-minute run to the tilefish hole and proceed to put that limit in the box as well. With...

Ran to some gear in the Baltimore canyon in hopes the lobster boat wasn't there yet but after 4 blank pots it was apparent we weren't so lucky. A quick call to a buddy of mine the next canyon south confirmed what i suspected, lobster boat is sitting right next to him. With that plan shot and no yellowfin bites that I've heard of we turn our attention to filling the box. Tilefish bite was good and...
