Today we had Joe, his mom and uncle, Haig, and Mark out for some toggin. Conditons were pretty bad with 25 to 30 knot NW, so we tried some bass trolling along the beach. We were only able to pick a couple of shorts for the first half of the trip. The wind layed off just a little so we went to one of our inshore drops for some tog. It took a little to get on the bite but the crew tallied 10 keepers and about 40 throwbacks with Mark taking big fish honors of 7.5lbs. Thanks for hanging in there everyone and look forward to fishing with you again.

Friday we had Nick, Nick, and Joe Funari back out for another round with some big bluefins. This trip proved to be a little slower, but once we got some current moving around 9:30am Nick hooked up right away with a nice fish on a jig. After about 5 minutes we broke the fish off only to find that the split ring on the jig straightened out! Soon after Joe was hooked up with a real nice fish. Unforunately we pulled the hook after the fish almost spooled a 30W tiagra. Set the baits back out and bam fish on again for Nick. After 30+ minutes the 57", 103lb bluefin hit the deck. We wrapped up and head for home after that. Thanks again for fishing with us guys and see you in the fall for your striper trip.

Friday we had Peter, Tom, Tim, Kevin, and Rich out to get another shot at some bruiser bluefin. We got set up in the same spot as the week before and marked bait and tuna but just couldn't get a bite. Made a little move and some of the same. Made a small adjustment to the rigs and in a minute we had the first fish on! Peter did a great job landing a 57"er in 15 minutes. Reset the lines and within 15 minutes we were tight on another. We got several looks at this fish and he was big! All 4 guys got a chance to fight this fish. We could have taken this fish a couple times with a harpoon but we already had our over 47" fish in the box. We eventually chafed through the leader after an hour and forty minutes but it was a released fish none the less. This fish was mid to high 60" range and probably close to 175lbs. After the fight we wrapped up and headed to the barn. Back at the dock, Peter's fish weighed in at 110lbs. Thanks for fishing with us guys and look forward to doing it again.

Today we had the Bob Woodman charter out for our first bluefin trip of the year. We did a little looking around and found what we were looking for, dropped the hook, and got the spread set. Missed the first bite on a jig then hooked up on the bait rod after about 10 minutes of fishing. The rod went back and forth a few times between anglers, but after 30 minutes we had a 55"er in the box. Reset and 30 minutes later we were tight on another. Bob got this one to the boat in about 15 minutes and released a 52"er. We had fairly steady bites up to 7:30 when the tide, and the bite, died. So we pulled the hook, made a little move and went on the drift. 15 minutes into the drift, Mike hooked up a big fish on a diamond jig. Mike did a great job and fought the fish for 3 hours to boat side. The fish measured 65" and was around 150lbs. which was released. We wrapped up and headed home after that one. Thanks for fishing with us guys and look forward to doing it again.

Just Capt Sr and myself on the boat yesterday, baits in by 5:30 and the first yellowfin of the season for us hit the deck at 6:00. Tons of action throughout the day with 26 yellowfin brought to the boat out of 50-60 bites. Lost some fish due to mutiple hookups and only one angler. We also went 0 for 3 on bigeyes. Two mutiple misses on the bars and one hooked up for about 10 mins. Saw the fish take the bait 20ft off the transom, easy 5 1/2+ foot fish. Fish ranged in size from barely legal to 75lbs and everywhere in between.
