Every Boat Gone

by | Aug 6, 2016

Rudee Inlet:

The Rudee Inlet bite continues to have a strong Croaker bite, the popular set up for them have been live bloodworms or squid on a bottom rig. Along side the Croaker there are a few Spot that are starting to show up. The Flounder continue to bite on live minnows best, or even gulp on a light jig head seems to do the trick. Most of the Flounder that have been caught recently have been throw backs, though we have continued to have some nice keepers caught in the mix. There are still a few Bluefish and the occasional Puppy drum that have been caught using cut finger mullet off the bottom.

Inshore:

We had several boats fishing inshore today. This morning we had the Top Notch, WaveRunner II, and High Hopes fishing on morning half days.The WaveRunner and High Hopes returned to the docks with some nice Spanish Mackerel and a few Bluefish in the mix, while the Top Notch and their crew had a great time catching and releasing some inshore sharks.  The High Hopes and Top Notch returned from their afternoon inshore trips with Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish, as well as catching and releasing a few small sharks

Offshore:

Bright and Early this morning the Capt Cheryl, WaveRunner, Backlash, and GitRDone all headed out to the Norfolk Canyon. The WaveRunner returned flying a White Marlin release flag as well as having some nice gaffer Mahi and a Yellowfin Tuna. The GitRDone returned to the docks with a nice haul of Blueline Tilefish, with some really nice ones being of citation size. The Capt Cheryl returned to the docks with some nice gaffer Mahi, Black Bellied Rose Fish, Blueline Tilefish, and Black Sea Bass. The Backklash came in with some beautiful Gaffer Mahi and some False Albacore. The Rebel left shortly after 7 AM on an over night trip, they will be returned tomorrow afternoon.
