Sunday

We have been tied to the dock for the last 2 weeks waiting for the wind to quit blowing. Sunday, there was still a big swell in the ocean but no wind. We took Rick and his guys on the Country Girl. We waited in the inlet for 30 minutes with another 5 or 6 boats for the tide to come in and the bar to become more manageable. Once we finally got out we found a grass line, stayed on it all day and came up with a great catch of dolphin on light tackle. 260lbs Thanks

Monday

We went marlin fishing with Kenny and the Doc in the northeast today. Kenny hooked and caught the only white marlin we saw today. We also caught 20 dolphin while looking around. Thanks

Sunday

Birthday trip for Brian Parrish. He got to catch the white marlin early and then we worked on the dolphin for a while and ended up with 40 fish. We went back to trolling and hooked another white marlin but he pulled the hook before we got to the leader......Also had a blue marlin in the flat lines but he wouldnt eat! Fun day with lots of action. Thanks.

Saturday

Saturday

The Hopewell Angler's Club experienced some really good tuna fishing during thier annual angler's tournament Saturday. We started off fishing around birds and busting fish and caught 3 out of 5 yellowfin in the 50 pound class. Next was a single yellowfin, a small dolphin and then another single yellowfin. Another captain came on the radio and reported that he just hooked 8 bigeye tuna and he was close to our position. As soon as we got there we started what would be a two and a half hour battle with 2 bigeyes. Andy and Ronnie did a great job and we landed both fish. Ronnie's was 149 lbs and Andy's fish was 178 lbs. Out total tuna weight for the day was 547 lbs. Thanks.

Friday

We fished 60 miles to the norteast today. We found a real pretty grass line up there and caught a limit of nice size bailer dolphin with a few gaffers mixed in. Later on we saw 1 blue marlin in the spread but he was not interested in what we had to offer! Forgot the camera today......Clark, I got your email, but you didnt leave a return email address. If you have pictures of your catch email them to: samanna@samannasportfishing.com Thanks

Wednesday

We fished with Brian McAndrew and his group today. It was a pretty day, calm seas and overcast. We found a piece of "float" and the first dolphin caught around it was a 35lb citation... We worked on the school after that and ended up with a nice catch of dolphin on light tackle. We put the trolling spread back out and then Will released a white marlin before the winds picked up and we headed home. Thanks.
