Forty Fluke Again!

Fished with Ted, Ted, Garret, Julie, Mike, and Trevor in the bay. We had constant action with fluke for the entire four hours. This is fun fishing with only a few minutes between bites. We ended the day with two keepers. We released over forty fish again for the second day in a row. Tons of fun!

Forty Plus Fluke

Big Sharks on the Fly!

Fished today with Jim and Dave. We headed out to fly fish for sharks. We ended up with 9 flyrod shark releases up to 120 pounds! Jim had the big fish of the day and Dave had one that was also over 100 pounds. We had numerous fish around the boat the last half of the day. Today we only caught dusky sharks from 25-120 pounds. We had over 100 yards of backing out multiple times. It's a good day when your arms hurt from reeling in fish!

Shark Saturday

Blacktips are Back

Fished with Jim and Tim today. We headed out to catch some sharks on the fly. The wind picked up just enough to give us the perfect drift. The sharks showed up in good numbers. And they were huge! We released a blacktip and a nice dusky on the fly. We had tons of shots and broke off at least ten others. The biggest issue today was the sharks were much bigger than average. We broke off one that was over 100 pounds easy. At one point we had over seven sharks in the slick at once. If we were bait fishing we would have had at least twenty releases today with no problem. There were good numbers of blacktips mixed in with the enormous duskys.

Hot Fluking!

In the afternoon on Tuesday I took Ryan out for some back bay fluke. The calm conditions brought the fluke out biting. We both hooked up as soon as we reached the bottom. In a little over an hour we ended up with over twelve fluke and had two keepers. The clean water and calm conditions proved perfect to get them biting.

Flat Calm

Fished Tuesday with Dominic and Mark. We went Sharking in the ocean. There was zero drift and it was flat calm. Not good for our purposes. We rolled a zero. Bring on some wind, but not too much!

Sharks on the Fly

Fished with Barry, Chris, Tom, Steve, and Amed yesterday. We headed out sharking with just fly rods in our hands. We ended up fighting and releasing five dusky sharks to 75 pounds on the fly! This was all sight fishing and we watched each bite and hook up. What a blast. It is amazing to watch a shark inhale nothing but the hair and steel that makes up a fly.

Sunday Sharks

Fished Sunday afternoon with Chuck and crew for sharks. We ended up releasing eight brown and dusky sharks. The weather has been terrific and the action has been good.

Sea Isle Sharking

Fished with John and family today. We had a blast releasing 18 dusky and brown sharks. The biggest dusky was a little over 100 pounds! Towards the end if the trip it was one right after another for a while. The numbers and size of these fish make this the most fun inshore of the canyon. We are not running real far for these fish. It makes for a very enjoyable day.

12 Sharks

Fished yesterday with Chris, Maryann, and family. We had a great time releasing twelve dusky and brown sharks up to around 45 pounds. The shark fishing has been the best show in town. Fishing has been excellent.
