Tuna Fish Pictures

Written By: Captain Skip MaGuire, Special To The Dispatch

I can picture it just like it was yesterday. Midnight came and went and I was still standing atop the Channel 2 Bridge in the Florida Keys. The current was slowly running east as the new tide was just starting to pick up. Below me was a large pod of tarpon, and I was watching them move in and out of the dark shadows between the footbridge I was standing on and the traffic bridge to the east. As the tide began to pick up, I knew that I had to try something different otherwise the skunk is all I would catch on this night. I pulled a spool of 40-pound fluorocarbon out of my bag and replaced the 80-pound leader I had been using with one much lighter. On my next cast, I watched as my bait drifted slowly back towards one of the large shadows lurking beneath the bridge. Sure enough I felt a solid “thunk” on the end of my line. Instantly, I set the hook, and the fish rocketed airborne. I was hooked up to a giant tarpon, and the only thing I need to change was my line. As a tackle shop owner, I am faced with many critical angling questions every day. One of the most important has to do with fishing line. Think about it. Your fishing line is what connects you to the lure or bait that you are fishing, and it is also what connects you to the fish after it bites. Good fishing line is the life blood of successful anglers. The problem is that there are so many different types and styles of lines. Sometimes picking the right one can become quite confusing. Walk into any tackle shop along the coast and what do you see? A wall full of monofilament, fluorocarbon, and superbraid. “Which one should I use?” The answer is not simple, as the proper line can vary for the every spot you fish and every technique you use. Still, I’ve spent quite a few years fishing in and around Ocean City, and fortunately I’ve been able to see what works best for other anglers and at the same time figure out what works best for me. So tune in to next week’s article, and I will do what I can to point you in the right direction for selecting the best fishing lines for angling around Ocean City. Sue at “Oyster Bay” reports, “Fishing this week was good on flounder though there's a lot of "shorts" out there. Surf fishing has been mostly small stuff like spot, kingfish, and croaker. Good action for kids with Fishbites or bloodworms. Sharks and big rays for pullage. Route 50 Bridge has had a good bite of bluefish at night and early morning.

I got to say Tuna is biting at it’s best guys. We’ve been doing the pacific side around 15-17 miles out and have been having success. The morning was as bit crazy as we had 8 boats going out and more than 30 people in the office at the same time.

This of course was a good thing because Jerry, who will be the new office manager was in here helping out and he got to see what a real morning looks like. He’s all hands on and ready to learn and take over RedRum’s office.

Tim Ross and his party of 13 fished on three boats. There had been a little confusion as to the dates, but RedRum was able to take care of that and help Tim out in this last minute change. The last group was on the 34′ Mucho loco and they catch for the day was 2 Tuna and 1 Dorado. All the fish they caught was taken to a restaurant to feed a lot of people tonight. There’s a big wedding going on tomorrow! Congrats to the newly weds.

Keith Colman fished on our 33 boat Nuevo along with Lisa Coleman. This was their second trip taken with ReDRum this week and during this second trip, they landed a total 7 yellowfin tuna about 30-40 Lbs.

John Stanfield fished on RedRum with his party of four and had an awesome day out there. It was one of the boats to catch a Striped Marlin. He also landed 3 Yellowfin tunas about 25-30 Lbs and the striped Marlin that was 160 Lbs. Good Work john! Marlin was released and the fish was donated to the crew. Thanks guys!

Russell Brewster, who is staying at one of RedRum’s private Condos fished on the 28′ Rosy. His first day was a success catching a total 6 yellowfin tuna and 1 Dorado. He’s out fishing again today and hopefully more fish will be added to his catch!

Dustin Allen and Mark Clason fished for two days with RedRum. Their first day they did great a total of 7 Tuna from 20-30 Lbs on oue 31′ RedRum and yesterday, they came back a bit early but because they had had enough. Their catch for yesterday only consisted on a small 10-12 Lbs Tuna, they still enjoyed every single moment of the trip!

Last but not least Kristen and Chick Strassel fished on oue 33′ Nuevo and after a full day, they landed a total of 4 Tuna and 1 Dorado. The tunas were about 25-30 Lbs while the Dorado was 30 Lbs.
