Out with a crew of UWV Mountaineers for a day of Mahi & Tilefish action. Worked the southern gear in the morning and scratched together a decent catch of mahi mostly on light tackle. With the gear all covered we throw out a trolling spread on the way to the tilefish grounds. After about 10 minutes a sailfish pops up behind our long rigger and takes the bait. While Derick is doing battle...

Ran south with a crew of guys from Lancaster PA. Idea was to hammer the tilefish in the Washington canyon. With about ½ a mile left to go I decide to swing by a couple lobster balls with baits that Dave threw out in a hurry. With all the fishing pressure of the last few days (White Marlin Open) I’m fairly sure this gear will not produce. Well, the second ball proves me wrong as a couple...

Pushed east with three generations of a family from western PA on board, the Sr. most angler 85 years young. With flat calm conditions I set out toward an area just north of where we fished yesterday. Set out the trolling spread and started looking around when I noticed some red crab gear and decided to have a look. The next three hours provide outstanding mahi action mostly on light tackle. Even...

Headed for some gear that I thought might holding some fish with a family from southern PA. The next two hours are absolutely outstanding. It seemed every other set was holding a couple big fish pushing our light tackle to its limits. By 9:00 the family tells me they’ve got more than enough fish and we can head back in. TD throws out a quick marlin spread and we decide to give it 30 minutes...

Set out for the deep on a very sporty forecast with a crew of young professionals looking for a good time. Pushed through some big seas toward the north end of a string of lobster gears we left yesterday that was holding some fish. Finished the day with a couple hours of trolling but no takers. Despite the wind and waves the guys had a great catch of some super nice mahi all on light tackle....

Out for a day of deep drop action with a crew of four from PA. With two miles left to go I notice a lobster buoy and swing by for a look. TD pitches a jig and immediately up from the deep comes a nice mahi. A couple of pieces of cut bait later we’ve got two more very respectable fish in the box. With this kind of action I decide to check a second set of gear and am pleasantly surprised with...
