As expected, the offshore bite continues to be great. I’ve been patiently waiting the month of September, in the hopes that we could equal what happened here last year, although it would be a difficult task.

Black and Blue Marlins are patrolling the drop-off just 12-15 miles offshore and some are also being released on the Reef. Our guests also witnessed perhaps one of the most spectacular tuna blitzes recorded at Pinas Bay. Acres of Yellowfin Tuna were blasting gigantic bait balls on the drop-off. They were so thick that our guests reported that the baits were jumping into the boat to avoid the jaws of these voracious feeders. All got into the action and had a blast.

Margot Vincent has joined us for her fourth trip this year. She usually fishes fly but this time she decided to mix it up a bit. She released a Black Marlin, Blue Marlin and a Pacific Sailfish on the fly to earn herself a GRAND SLAM.

Benny Cenac brought his family and friends down to Pinas Bay this week for 3 days of fishing. Sam Achee released his first Blue Marlin and Stan Duvall released his first Black Marlin estimated at 400 lbs. Guy Cenac and Paul Haines both released their first Pacific Sailfish.

Rick and Yvonne Buckley were back this week. Yvonne released 2 Blue Marlins bringing her total up to 79 Marlin on stand-up gear. They were also all over the Wahoo and got 12 in the 2 days inshore.

William Gallo released his first Blue Marlin estimated at 450 lbs. Linda Moss and Sherry Lane both released their first Pacific Sailfish. Lory Moss released a huge Roosterfish estimated at 65 lbs and Roger Moss also had an estimated 70 lb. Roosterfish.

Tight Lines!
