Offshore Fishing Picks Up




(Click on pictures to view Mike & VJ's fish.)




Mike Fogel & team on the Challenge (Capt. VJ) had another good day yesterday (Fritz Grells' birthday) bringing in yellowfin and dolphin and releasing a sail. As can often be the case, a couple of testy sharks got away with a couple of larger tuna that they couldn't get to the boat fast enough. They ran across to the east side of the stream where other boats were finding fish as well. Glen Cameron on the Floridian hooked up a double Blue Marlin, and released one.

Others running across over the past 10 days or so and reporting good fishing are Scotty on the Bone Shaker, Neil Subin on Outlaw, and Tom Wichers on Prime Time. Most have been catching dolphin, yellowfin, sailfish, some wahoo, and blue marlin.
