Good Fishing in the Bay and Some Tunas Off the Beach

Good Fishing in the Bay and Some Tunas Off the Beach

The wind started blowing a little bit ago and roughed things up, and it’s going to blow even harder tomorrow.  Looks like the next day of fishing in the ocean might be Tuesday, and it looks like it’s going to be cooling down quite a bit this week as well.

Steve Hadley, Joe Schweiger, Bill Romeo and Michael Rivera had the ocean to themselves today in the rough conditions, but they toughed it out and ended up with some yellowfin tuna, a few mahi and some “skippys” for a nice day on the ocean.

Captain Jason Mumford of Lucky Break Charters has been having a field day in the OC Inlet lately and today was no different.  Captain Jason treated his anglers on different trips to sheepshead, flounder and even a nice trout.

Caleb Powell fished with his Dad and “Mr. Matt” in the East Channel today where they used Deadly Doubles and some bunker and landed five nice keeper flounder including Matt’s nice 25″ doormat.

Captain Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star held it close to the beach on today’s trip.

Day began with clients toe-tapping; waiting on a guy who forgot to set alarms. Yup! I do that once every few years.. Still underway before 7; we found numerous bottlenose dolphin near the mouth of the inlet and a calm sea just outside.
That calm sure didn’t last. Wasn’t even a mile off and the ocean looked angry. Already a good bit of SW wind, I turned into it & held course for a reef just 3 miles south of the inlet.
Thought I could sneak out ten or twelve miles before today’s “gusts to 25” began.
Suddenly that didn’t look like a safe bet at all.
Still, I had hope we could
catch some nice fish inshore – didn’t happen!
Gave it a try at least. After 4 spots I pulled anchor and headed for the barn at 11 with no charge for the trip.. Ms Holly had a pool winner at least!
Have announced a Tuesday trip. Should be able to get on off where I need be..
Cheers,
Monty
