September 06, 2007 - Islamarada Offshore Report
The slow season is
officially upon us. Most of the boats spent the majority of the
week at the dock. The few boats that made it out had great
success catching.
Capt. George on THE
REAL MCCOY from Bud & Mary’s was one such boat that went out
tuna catching. He had his way with the medium blackfins and
skipjacks on the humps. He said they were eating freebies right
out of his hand at the transom.
Capt. Skip Bradeen on
the BLUE CHIP TOO had similar results fishing for tuna offshore
on the hump. You can find the legendary Mr. Charterboat at
Whaleharbor marina.
There are still some
dolphin moving through but they were getting tougher and tougher
to find. If you were one of the boats that crossed paths with
the offshore denizens you found that the fish were pretty nice.
There were a few great
catches brought in this past week. We did a fun trip with
several captains and mates and caught some nice blackfin tuna
and we also ran into a school of nice mahi mahi.
Capt. Mike Hancock on
t he MAN O MAN out of Holiday Isle had a few nice catches of
tuna this week on the “hump”. If you are looking for some fast
action, the edge of the reef is still producing great catches of
king mackerel and mutton snapper. There are still plenty of
little tunnies around to keep the rods bent too.
We had several chances
at sailfish this week but failed to land one. Several other
boats have reported sporadic sailfish action up and down the
reef edge. Be on the lookout for them in your travels. You will
probably get a shot at one during the week to come.
Once again I will
borrow a line from my good friend Capt. J.R. and say that there
are more fish than fisherman, and there is no better time to go
catching!
