Hello Anglers,

This morning we arrived at Fisherman's Landing at 0915 to a crowded dockside. We off loaded the passengers in gear, then we took care of weighing up of all the fish. For the trip we ended up with 97 yellowfin over 100 lbs, 7 of which were from 199 to 199 lbs. 34 yellowfin that weighed from 200 to 272.3 lbs. And one fish that weighed in at 307.9 lbs. Our jackpot winners are as follows, Kenny Cirks of Orange County with a 272.3 lb yellowfin tuna, 2nd place went to John Lanz of McKinley Hills with a 256.2 lb yellowfin tuna, and 3rd place went to Basil Pappas of Harrington Park, NJ with a 253.8 yellowfin tuna. Along with all the fish we brought to the dock, we released 21 yellowfin estimated from 130 to 185 lbs. To all the anglers that were able to make it out on this trip, congratulations on a job well done. And for those of you who didn't make the trip this year, hopefully this will give you a better perspective on the kind of fishing we can have without the islands. And we hope to see you on future trips. The boat will be departing today on a 7 day trip, so we will check in with you later. Reported by: Shawn Steward

Tomorrow we are going to try our luck in a...... Read More
