Two days of sea bass fishing in completely different conditions. Wednesday held stiff winds and big swells for a pair of anglers looking for their limit of sea bass. Unfortunately one of the two wasn't quite up for the seas and decided to catch some sleep while the other did his best to fill their limit in very tough conditions. When the bell rang we only needed three more keepers to hit that...

After a day of seemingly non-stop calls and rearranging crews I final have a group of high school grads ready to go head-to-head with our tuna. Pushed east toward the south end of the Baltimore canyon. With 30 mile to go I take a peek at my cell phone to view my downloaded sea surface temperature satellite image only to realize the image is total junk. Arrive at the canyon to find 57 degree water...

Out with Tan and the gang again for another day of pounding the Black Sea Bass. First stop had me VERY worried that I made the wrong turn out the inlet but a quick two mile move changed everything. The keepers were coming in fast and furious. At the 4 hour mark we hit our limit (90 keepers) and head for the barn. The guys are already deciding on their 3rd date for the season.

After what seemed like forever Fin Chaser's season got off to a good albeit somewhat sporty start. Fridays opening of black sea bass season found the entire fleet opting to stay tied at dock. Saturday greeted us with stiff winds and sporty seas but we pushed east despite the conditions. The bite was outstanding with a keeper/throwback of about 4:1. Unfortunately a couple greenhorns just couldn't...

A very typical October, fish a couple days then get lots of wind for a couple days. Crews who were lucky or flexible enough to fish around the wind were rewarded with outstanding mahi fishing. That fishing remained exceptional until a big blow hit around the 18th and trimmed 5 degrees off our surface temps. Mixed in among our offshore trips were a couple black sea bass trips that were crazy good,...

Mahi, Marlin, Yellowfin & Wahoo September has it all!! The last two week of fishing has provided outstanding action for most of our customers. Those who have been willing to wait out the summer have been rewarded with fantastic catches of mahi. Add in a few white marlin and yellowfin and you can see why it’s worth the wait. As a side note the boats hanging a little closer to the beach, 35...

Good bye Dorian!, hello mahi.  Started the week off with a day of sea bass action with a crew from J&J Bulkheading. The bite was great and the keeper ratio pretty good too. Mid-week found us offshore with the dynamic duo from Lebanon County, PA. Both days provided great deep drop action on blueline tilefish and jumbo black belly rosefish. Finished both days by adding good numbers of mahi to...

Most of our twelve hour trips found good light tackle action for mahi with a couple limits hut by some crews. Deep drop tilesfish was good on small to medium fish until the wind hit after just a couple drifts. Managed to snag a couple of those oh so tasty wahoo and get Donnell his first marlin. September looks like its shaping up to be awesome!

A few more mahi, a lot more wind! Our mid range gear produced a fair number of bailer size mahi this week as well as the ever present, at least this time of the year, false albacore. Ran to the deep one day and found a couple nicer mahi under some lobster gear as well as getting one angler his very first marlin. First big wind of the season hit late in the day on the 23rd and kept us in the slip...
