Another trip looking for some bluefin. First bite comes at mid morning and after a arm breaking fight Dave sinks the gaff into the 90 lb fatty. The next bite comes about two hours later but the hook pull after about five minutes. Continue to work the area for the next two hours but only manage a double header of gaffer mahi. Back in early at the charters request to allow extra time for the...

This trip begins with a phone call the night before letting the guys know about the pending wind and the options we have based on the forecast. They decide to give it a go so we run east in fairly decent condition. Our first encounter is a double mahi bite, one makes it in the box. Our next encounter isn’t with a fish but with rain and wind. This wind wasn’t to arrive until noon time and not...

Today’s fishing starts at one of my favorite bluefin hills. Worked that old hot spot for nearly an hour before deciding to run south and put the guys, especially the young guns on some kings. After putting together a nice catch of kings we run back to where we started the day not wanting to give up on old faithful. Thirty minutes after we arrive our short rigger gets pounced on and we add a 85#...

Ran SE with a yearly crew for a 9 hour day of fun fishing. First bite of the day is a nice mahi. Spent the next several hours adding a nice catch of king mackerel to the box. Big surprise of the day…a 50# bluefin slams our bait and goes in the box too. Back in a little early to get one guy, who wasn’t loving life, back to solid ground.

Second trip of the season for this father and son crew. Told them I’m sure we’ll get Austin his first bluefin on this 9 hour trip…words I would come to regret. Worked three of our honey holes but could only manage mahi, king mackerel and bluefish bites.

Out looking for a July 4th bluefin with a crew from southern Lancaster County PA. Our first bite comes on our first pass across the shoal. After a very impressive first run William buckles down for an epic battle with a 90# fatty. With our over in the box we go on the hunt for a under. Looked here and there, high and low but could not find any smaller bluefin on some of the other lumps. In quite...

Out with Hans and the boys for a 9 hour bluefin trip. Our first bite comes after about 45 minutes but the hook pulls less than 15 feet from the gaff. Thirty minutes later we have another chance but the exact same thing happens……????? Wondering if we’ll get another shot I jokingly tell Dave he better start searching for the long evil fruit…bananas. Third time is the charm and after...

Arrived at the bluefin grounds only to find much stiffer west winds than the forecast was calling for. Our first bite takes about an hour but with a little ways to go the hook pulls. About an hour later we get a second chance but the same outcome, the hook pulls AGAIN half way in. Praying the we get another shot we set the spread and the hunt for bite number three starts. After nearly two hours...

Today’s trip begins with some nasty seas and stiff north winds. Asked the folks if they like to turn around…nope, we’re good, lets go catch a big bluefin, was their response. First hour was without a bite but sometime around 8:00 we have a bluefin trying to eat our bar. Finally he explodes on it and after a great fight we have a 80 lb. “over” in the box. Worked the area for a while...

Out with a father and son duo who wanted to try for a big bite before spending some time just bending a rod later in the day. Looked at a couple nearby bluefin hills but only managed to foul hook a cow nose ray in the wing. Put away the big tackle and set out the smaller spoons. The action on bluefish, atlantic bonito and king mackerel was outstanding.
