Last day marlin fishing 2010- Full Choke

[TunaTeaser1]

Well yesterday was likely the last day of marlin fishing for us this year and it was a good one. Started fishing at the 050 in 43 fathoms in some puke green 71 degree water. Didn't get the spread out before a white was behind the long rigger. Got our first release at 7:50 which was a good start for what turned out to be a slow day for the fleet. Top boat had 7 fish. While most boats continued up the line and deeper, we beat it out between the 050 and the 080 all day, never going deeper than 50 fathoms. Ended up catching 4 of 5 whites, 4 blackfins, and a handful of dolphin for a great end to our summer season. We managed to catch at least one billfish on every trip since May which I think is pretty neat on an outboard boat. The ride back was poor as we had a tight head sea the whole way back. Thankfully the Obsession broke it down pretty good for us. There was only 27 fish caught in the charter fleet so we had a good day!

On to tuna fishing...

Ill get some pictures up soon.

Dave, I don't think the marlin bite is over quite yet, I just don't think we'll get back there in time to fish for them. Will likely be 3 weeks or so before we return.
