Ran to just south of the Baltimore looking for some gear that I found about 10 days ago. Much to my dismay the gear must not have been producing and was removed. Trolled north to the canyon to find a couple other boats working that stuff so we broke out the deep drop gear and the guys set about filling the box with tilefish. The last time we did this it was one of the most perfect drifts I can...

Set out in search of mahi with a pair of anglers from Lancaster PA looking to hook the big one on a fly rod. First couple stops didn’t provide any action but we finally found some fish after about 90 minutes of looking. First couple were kinda on the small side but then we found some studs that pushed Charles’s 10 wt. to its limits and snapped Brian’s spinning rod right above the grip....

Out with DNR Ron and his guys for a day of filling the freezers. Looked at a couple red crab gear buoys but only found a few small mahi and one white marlin that missed the hook. Turned out attention to those oh so tasty tilefish. The bite was outstanding with doubles on a regular basis. Ended the day about an hour early with 46 tiles and a couple small mahi in the box.

Offshore deep drop trip scrapped due to rough seas so we spent a couple hours a few miles off the beach with a father and son from NY bending a rod on our super hard fighting false albacore.

Ran to the Baltimore looking to find some mahi and then add some tilefish to the box. Pulled past more lobster gear than I can remember without seeing any mahi. Didn’t help that the lobster boat was hauling their gear right next to us or the fact that the water unbelievably dirty. Turned our attention to tilefish and we weren’t disappointed. With less than five fish to our limit the folks...

On the hunt for tuna with a crew from PA. Decided to run to the chunking hole that was so good to us two days ago. Less than twenty minutes after setting the anchor we have our first fish on the line, a blt yellowfin. Two minutes later our second fish is tight, a turkey. Sure that we’re gonna crush em, I’m running to the bow with my rod. By now a couple of my buds, very good chunkers, have...

Made a big run to the deep with the girls for the 2016 Poor Girls Open looking for marlin. First encounter comes mid morning when a white marlin pops up behind the mid rigger. Dave quickly feeds the bait then hands off the reels to our lucky lady. After a great fight we have the fish next to the boat for the release. Our next encounter has a small white tracking our baits but will not take any...

Decided to roll the dice and run to the chunking hole looking to find a couple legal yellowfin. First drift produced two fish, one 28″ keeper and one throw back. Next two drifts, nothing. Decided to anchor which made all the difference. The next two hours produced 9 more keeper yellowfin as well as several skipjack and turkeys. By 11:00 this crew of three from the greater Harrisburg, PA area...

Ran back south with a crew of three who tell me they’ll be happy if they can just catch a couple mahi. Found a couple balls I missed yesterday and luckily they were holding some fish. After covering all the gear for a second time we move over to the tilefish ground and the guys have a ball catching tiles and a couple sea bass. The guys opted to end the day early and beat the pending wind.
