Big Tuna in Sea Isle City

Joe, Karl, Ricky and Frank headed off to the deep on Saturday afternoon in search of tuna and they were not let down.  They started trolling late in the afternoon looking for bait and signs of life.  Around dusk they set up to chunk and after a mere 5 minutes hooked in to a very nice yellow fin on a butterfish.  After boating that fish, they decided to try some jigging and hooked in to a huge big eye after fighting it for over 2 ½ hours the line got tangled in the prop and the fish was lost.  But the crew did not lose hope they regained their composure and reset the lines they did not know what was about to happen.  Minutes after lines were back in the water another huge hit again on a jig.  Geared with a 6 foot 6 Heavy Shimano Trevala and a Lx 6.0 Avet loaded with 80 pound Power Pro purchased only hours ago here at Sea Isle Bait and Tackle they knew they were capable of landing the big fish at the end of the line but it was going to be a long battle.  They hooked in at 11 pm and boated the huge big eye at 10 am the next day.  It was an 11 hour battle of will, talent, strength and determination.  When all was said and done the crew returned to Sea Isle City with 2 yellow fins and a 6 foot long big eye.  Hats off and congratulations gentlemen.   

Off Shore Fishing is Heating Up in Sea Isle City

Antoinette C from Sea Isle City fishing with her Dad Al and had a great trip with some tuna Marlin and this Big Mahi-Mahi it was 23.8 pounds and 52 inches long.  The off shore reports have been excellent lately with Mahi’s as close as 15 miles and tuna as close as 25 miles.  The weather looks great this weekend to get out there and get your self a big fish.  

big flounder in sea isle city

More and more reports of bigger and bigger flounder keep coming in from the ocean mostly around the artificial reefs.  Hear is Jim and his daughter they had a cooler full of nice ones with the biggest being a 7 pounder 25.5 inches.  Don’t forget TI reef is only 3.8 miles out of TI boats of many sizes can get out there and get on this good fishing.  

kids fishing in the ocean

My nice Kaylee made her first canyon trip and this fish where there.  She reeled in this Mahi-Mahi all by her self and got a nice tile fish but she did get a little help with the 600 foot wind up on that one.  We all know its more work to take kids fishing you may not be able to leave as early or stay as late as you wanted.  Bet we as the fishing community need to get kids in to out doors activities.  The best part about taking them off shore is there phones do not work. LOL 

More flounder in the bay

Lindsey P and her Dad where on fire with a 4.8,  4.6 and another keeper.  The back bay has produced some very nice keepers over the last week and this weekend looks good so you better get out and get’um…

Jim L had a great day on the water with this very nice 4.4 pound 23 ½ incher from the bay.  He had another keeper and lost one at the side of the boat he believed to be even bigger.  There are still plenty of keepers in the bay.  Jim also reported having nearly ¾ of a bushel of big blue claw crabs..
