White Marlin

Saturday we caught a sailfish and some really nice gaffers. Unfortunately, I had a problem with my transmission and had to take Sunday off in order to replace it. Everything went well and we went fishing today. After the morning squalls, we made it down to the Point and found 5 tunas and a white marlin. Meanwhile, East of the inlet, one boat caught 7 out of 9 white marlin. Marlin fishing is shaping up and we've got some open dates next week. Give me a call and we'll take you fishin' on the Frenzy!

Dolphin showed up in force today. A blue marlin tried to eat our teaser today, but he wouldn't switch to a bait, meanwhile, East of the inlet, 4 boats caught a total of 6 blue marlin out of 16 shots.

Gaffers

Little Girl Big Dolphin

We went to the Northeast today and found a handful of nice gaffers for Warren Haupt and his kids. Great job Julianne and Shane!

June 17

After a rough start, we had a great day catching some tuna and dolphin.

June 16

While most of the fleet was catching dolphin and tuna, we were thirty miles to the North catching tiles. Sometimes I make the wrong turn, but I always try to make the best of it. We caught a sail and a few gaffers for the rest of the day.

Big Bluefins

Yesterday morning we got off to a slow start. We had a few dolphin bites, but the conditions had changed from the day before, and I was trying to devise a new plan of attack. That's when I got a call from Jamie on the Phideaux. He was offshore and had been hit by the big bluefins. The first time he was hit, the tuna won. O for 6 bites! The next time he was ready for them, and ended up hooking one on the right rig. He told me that he had seen the fish jumping around a few times after he was hooked up. I told Dirty to get the 130's ready, and we steamed 8 miles to the Phideaux's location. When we got there, I saw 400 -600 pound tunas chasing bait, it looked like someone was dropping Volkswagons in the water! We set out our spread, and after 3 circles, we hooked one and the battle was on. After about 30 minutes, the fish came up dead. Dirty J and I removed the gills and guts and packed the fish in ice, ensuring that fish retain its freshness and make some excellent table fare for our exceptionally grateful charter. It weighed in at 407 pounds, for a whole weight of around 450.

White Marlin

Today we caught a white marlin, 3 tunas, and 20 gaffers. We had one shot at a blue marlin, but he didn't cooperate.

June 9

It was another good day on the Frenzy Monday. We started out by catching 3 out of 6 yellowfins, and then we found some gaffers and a few more tuna towards the end of the day

June 7 & 8

Saturday we caught a few tunas and some gaffers. We deployed the kite for the first time this year, and it helped us catch 2 tuna when we couldn't get a bite on anything else. Sorry Dave, no picture.

Today we Zigged when we should have Zagged. I set out East of the the inlet with the intention of fishing 35 to 50 fathoms. Instead, I went off on a tangent and fished north for twenty miles looking for a different body of water. All I found was smoke from the Columbia fires. So I picked up and steamed South. Luckily, Dirty spotted a piece of float and we got the skunk out with a few gaffers. Then we trolled towards the Point and found a pair of tunas and a few more gaffers.

Great tuna fishin'

The Frenzy had a great day offshore today! We caught 5 Bigeyes and 8 yellowfins and made it back to the dock early.

Tuna and Dolphin

After a rough morning, the seas subsided and we caught 2 tuna and a few gaffers.

45 Pound Dolphin

We fished the 77 degree water east of the inlet today and had a good catch of gaffers and a pair of tunas. Our blue marlin encounter didn't go our way, as he chafed through the leader after a great aerial show.

Blue Marlin

My puppy Bella got a chance to go fishing today, and our first bite was 300# blue marlin. We released the fish in about 10 minutes after a series of spectacular jumps. We spent the rest of the day chasing yellowfins and caught 4.

Mixed Bag

It was another great day of fishing today. We caught a sailfish, 7 tunas and a few gaffers.

Tuna, Tuna, Tuna

Tuna showed up on the Point today!! We had a few bites early, but the main herd showed up around midday. What a show!! Flying fish were running for their lives!! I'm sure the fishing will only get better from here on out.
