Runaway Sportfishing

On Tuesday, October 21st, we had along a group of nurses, Cheryl, Sharon, Lillian, Laura and Michelle from Maryland.  Burgess stayed at the dock. Despite windy conditions and choppy seas, we managed to catch our limit of dolphins.  The girls did great and are always a fun crew -  I have fished with them in the past. 

The fall tuna fishing is picking up and several boats have had great days.  We’re sitting out a blow this weekend and looking forward to getting back out there next week.  Barry

On Friday, Oct 17th we had Rick Kiger and his crew.  The pressure was on because this was a split party with another boat and the betting was on - whichever boat had the heaviest amount of fish won the pot.  Fishing was slow and the weather was sloppy, but we did catch a mix bag of wahoos, dolphins, king mackerals and small blackfin tunas.  Little Joe won with the tiniest of fish which he is holding in the picture.  Both boats came in with the same weight of fish, so I guess they split the pot.  Rick has fished with us before, and we appreciate the business.  Barry

On Wednesday, Oct 15th, we had Kevin Henderson and his crew fishing with us.  We went to the east in search of yellowfin tuna but the current whipped us out.  We did manage to catch a half a limit of dolphins.  Pretty day with a great crew.

On October 4th, we finally got Eric Ferrell and his crew out into the gulfstream.  They had been scheduled earlier in the season, but were put off due to weather.  They got out on one of the prettiest fishing days we’ve had in awhile - slick calm and plenty of sunshine.  The fishing was good also and they caught plenty of dolphins and blackfin tunas.  Good crew who had lots of fun.  I hope to see you all again.  Barry

PS - Make sure you bring back your Ace, Preston, next time

On Tuesday, September 30th, we had Chris Oates and his crew down from Canada.  They are surfers by nature, but did well with the fishing rod.  We had a rainy day out in the gulfstream, but plenty of sunshine at the dock to show off their catch of dolphins and groupers.  Hope to see you all again on your next trip south.  Barry

On Monday, September 22, we had Jim Wallace and his crew fishing with us.  We bailed dolphins until we had our limit and called it a day because of the wind and high seas.  Nice group of guys who know how to bring good brownies.  Sitting out the low pressure blow and waiting for Fall tuna fishing.  Barry

On Saturday, we had Dion Anothony and his crew fishing with us.  Dolphin fishing was excellent - school after school.  We ended up catching our limit.  I hope the guys had fun, because we sure did.  Hope to see you all again.  Barry.
