Ocean City Labor day weekend wrap up

[FrankyPettolina]

First for the last call- I fished the 51st annual OCMC White marlin tourney- I caught a few marlin, missed a few more, and just did not get the job done as far as the tourney went. Going in to today (with a few boats having a day left) The Cyntinory is winning with 12 releases (i think) the marlin bite was good from the Southern Baltimore up to the Wilmington. I also heard of fish in the poormans and the Washington. Magic depth is 55 to 70 fathoms.

The other big news in the fleet is that several different batches of yellowfins moved in along the 30 fathom line. The fish ranged from just below the dog to the elephant trunk. Anywhere from BLT's to 50 pounders. I think the Press Time had the best day yesterday with 21 fish, and I know the Clear Shot and the Zipper got in on them pretty good as well.
There were lots of falsies mixed in with the yellowfin.

Hopefully this wind does not screw us up to bad. Already had to reschedule today.

Thanks Franky. Today is not a day to be out there. Can't wait to get a shot at those yeller's.

I found a ride out to the Hotdog on Sunday. Yes, the yellowfin were there. Several boats were in the double digits in YFT. We got four, missed three more. Didn't go more than an hour without a knockdown. Only "problem" was that you have to pick through the Fat Alberts. We had a four to one FA to YFT ratio.

Lots of life with whales, sea turtles, thousands of tuna birds. Biat was very thick, sometimes busting the surface.

Wow - that's great news. Hopefully they'll stick around after the blow.

Thanks Franky,

We hit it pretty good Sat just NE of the Dog in 30FA. Ended up with 8 YFT 30-50lb, 3 Mahi and several skippies which were on top of the YFT. Our YFT bite didn't start till @ 2:45 and went strong for 2 hrs until we ran out of bait.
