Tight Lines

Coach Jimmy Johnson’s Quest for the Ring Tournament has no likely winners after the first two days at Atlantic City and Sunset Marina in Ocean City, Maryland.

The first two days produced releases of just two blue marlin and nine whites while one bigeye was weighed along with yellowfins and dolphin. TIhe Golden Eagle from Belmar continues to provide limits of 1-4-pound bluefish which are stacked up on schools of sand eels on the hills where diamond jigs produce steady action.

Capt. Mark DeBlasio released his first blue marlin of the season on his Blue Runner from Point Pleasant while boating bigeyes and yellowfins.

The opening day of Coach Jimmy Johnson’s Quest for the Ring Tournament out of Atlantic City and Sunset Maina in Ocean City, MD was slow with just one blue and 4 white arlin releases plus 31 weighed yellowfin tuna, a bigeye and 2 dolphin.

Five Against One II boated

Another good fluke report from Captain Ron Santee on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands

“Nice day out there once again for the Monday crew.

South wind came up a bit earlier than expected but it didn’t shut down the bite, hard to beleave. Current got fast so we got the lead out to get it done. Few guys with their three including Brett L, Bill V and Joe the plumber (JTP). Some Customers had 2 with nice Sea Bass in the mix also. Several area’s holding fish but you have to work it to catch the keepers. 

WE ARE NOT AVAILABLE THIS WEDNESDAY……… (Other than that we sail every day.)

Captain Ron Santee reported another fine fluke bite on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands even after the south wind came on. Heavy sinkers were required, but the fish kept biting. That boat is chartered on Wednesday.

The bluefish bite continued as noted in the report from the Golden Eagle out of Belmar. “s s 

The Golden Eagle from Belmar reported bluefish limits for all in schools of 1-4 pounders on the hills.

Capt. Ron Santee said it’s been a long time since he’s had such a good fluke bite in perfect weather on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands.

Coach Jimmy Johnson brings his sixth Quest for the Ring Tournament to Atlantic City from July 12-18.

Blues from 2-6 pounds were so abundant yesterday on the Golden Eagle from Belmar that drifts lasted for up to 1.5 miles.

The swell dropped out and fluke turned on Wednesday as noted by Capt. Ron DSantee on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands.”What a difference a day makes!

Weather was perfect, Ocean laid down, the fish were biting and nobody puked!! Found life on several drops, shorts and keepers.

Some quality fish finally coming in with Eric tying the monthly pool leader with a beauty at 5 pounds 2 ounces. Shawn Pearl had the hot hand landing 6 nice keepers, couple guys with 3, many with 2 nice fish and a bunch of shorts for the action.

The small Gulp sand eels have been working the best with a plain, simple rig. Weather looks good all week, don’t miss the bite!!

FISHERMEN/TUESDAYS FISHING REPORT

Bad Company won this big money worldwide contest with a 653-pounder at Cabo Verde– but only by time tiebreaker over Swish which had one the same size at Bermuda.

Ancreas Toy reports”Capt Vince and mate Shane hosted newcomer to the Toy John Goullett and buddy Joe. The decision was made Canyon yellowfin or bust. Had a decent window to get him out today before he headed back to Florida. The boys arrived on the scene, found the life and got locked in. Once the dust settled and multiple bites, they ended up 8-9 and heading for home before lunchtime, great job boys!

Capt. Mark DeBlasio reports lots of yellowfins trolling with his Blue Runnerfrom July 3-4
