Weekend is shaping up!
 

I was a little scared of the tropical storm, but it looks like the offshore forecast is OK for this weekend:

FRI
WINDS BECOMING S 10 TO 20 KT. SEAS 3 TO 5 FT.

SAT
WINDS BECOMING W TO NW 10 TO 15 KT. SEAS 3 TO 5 FT.

SUN
W TO NW WINDS 10 TO 20 KT. SEAS 2 TO 5 FT.

Anyone plan to get out in search of shark or tuna? We caught 5 blue sharks Sunday and an enormous false Albacore at the Lumpy. We were one bluefish away from an offshore garbage slam.

Report
 

Had a great weekend in Chincoteague. We took our whole office down there for the weekend and did some fishing. Spend Saturday hanging out on the sandbar, but ended up with 5 keeper flounder on the way back. All on minnows from Capt Steves. Biggest was 23".

Went off Sunday for shark. Hooked 8, landed 7: 2 tigers, 4 dusky, 1 baby mako, one huge mako. Of course the only one we lost was the huge mako. I have caught 200# mako before and the fish that we had hooked up dwarfed a 200.

Great weekend fishing and now the office has a tale of the one that got away.

They'll be talking about that trip for a long time.


Whoever got to fight the big Mako probably still a smile on his or her face.

Weather looks great again this weekend. I'll be looking for YFT at the Washington. See you guys out there.

I'll be fishing out of Chincoteague Fri & Sat. If you are down there give me a shout. Boat name is Schedule Sea.
