Allen Chung Sunday Charter

Sunday I had Allen and a few of his friends for a combo trip. We headed north to the striper grounds and when we got there birds were working pretty good but it was all blues. Looked for a while for some bass readings but we didnt find any..only blues. From there we did some bottom fishing for a few hours and got our limit of blackfish and alot of seabass which had to be returned...that sucks. We were going to shoot out to the mud hole for some cod and ling but the winds really never let down so we then headed back south to look for some bass but by the the time we got there they were shut down. Pretty frustrating day on the stripers but the guys had a great time regardless.

Canyon/Bluefin Trip with the Ken Switzer Charter

Had Ken back out with buddies John and Bill. Made a run to the East Side and saw a lot of life, but only mahi on the troll, so we broke out the light spinners and landed a bunch of fish to 10lbs, made our way to 100 square and set up there for the night. During the night we had tons of squid pinned under the boat by porpoise, read lots of tuna under the boat but they wouldn't chew. Decided at midnight to head back to the East Elbow where the life was. Set up and lost a couple of mystery fish and wrestled with big Blue Sharks. At 6am the bite started in earnest, everytime we put a bait in the water we had a run-off. Wound up with over a dozen bites, landing 4 Yellowfin from 60-75 pounds. On the way home we ran into acres of 100 pound Bluefin crashing the surface. Figured out the bait they were eating and decided to match the hatch with Large Storm Shads, made 4 casts and hooked up 4 fish landing one By a cast by John on a light spinner. Back at the dock the fish weiged 100 pounds on Clark's certified scale. Guys went home with plenty of meat and were a pleasure to fish with.

Dave Peters Mixed Bag Charter

Good to finally get out with this crazy weather Had Dave today with son Mat. Plan was to try a bunch of different species. Once we netted the live bait we headed out of the inlet and jigged a dozen Blues to 12lbs. Made a run out to the Mud Hole and began live bait chumming to look for Bluefin, had one good bite but fish spit the hook, then had some nice sized mahi eat our peanuts but couldn't connect. Mat was getting bored so we made a run back in and set on some rockpiles for seabass, landed over 40 with only half a dozen keepers. Changed gears and went togging with Mat having the hot hand, landed a couple of dozen with our boat limit of keepers. Ended the day jigging again and landed some keeper weakfish to end the day. Beautiful day with a great father/son team to fish with.

Bluefin-Mahi Split Charter

Had repeat customers Alex and Andres with newcomers Sam and Dan. Had a sloppy ride out to the Bluefin grounds 65 miles, went 1-2 for Alex getting his first tuna ever on the jig. Had a nice mako which ate a sardine stay hooked, almost had him in Harpoon range but got through the flouro leader. Bite slowed so went looking for life to the South, went to Bacardi, Texas Tower, and Chicken, no life, birds,whales or dophin, ended up bailing a dozen mahi on ,a pot to get some more meat for the crew.

Brian McClintock Charter Blues/SeaBass

Monday we had brian and boys our for some more light tackle action. We made our way out to the grounds and set up in the same general area as sunday. After a few quick runoffs, the guys got into some non stop action with big blues. They could watch the fish swimming through grabbing their chunks right under the boat. After fighting plenty of fish they decided to try a little sea bassing. We stopped on some spots that provided plenty of sea bass with a dozen nice keepers mixed in before the wind kicked up.

Jamie McGinley Charter for Blues-Albies-Skippys-Sea Bass

On sunday we had Jamie McGinley, his son James, buddy Ed and his son Ryder out again. Our hopes were to make it out for some bluefin but the weather didnt want to cooperate with us. The guys wanted to have some fun with the kids so we decided on some light tackle action. Minutes after setting the anchor the guys were into fish with two and three fish on at a time. They fought blues with some albies and skippys mixed in until their arms were tired with the kids having an absolute blast working the jigs with non-stop action. To finish the day we stopped on a couple pieces where they had some good sea bass action putting over a dozen in the box along with some nice sized porgies.

Bluefin Tuna & Mahi Trip with the Mike Cane Charter

Had Mike out again with daughter Lauren. Goal was to have each land their first tuna and mahi. Started the trip off landing half a dozen peanut mahi, first goal accomplished. Then went jigging in with the dolphin schools and Lauren and Mike each landed a bluefin on the jigs. Having accomplished both goals we made a bee line back to the Dockside Grill for lunch so that chef Marcus could work his magic. He prepared the tuna 3 different ways. First was a Tempura with a mandarin, ginger, wasabi glaze, then a sesame seared and stuffed with shrimp and lobster with a mandarin orange, cucumber viniagrette, and finally a wasabi pistachio crusted tuna with a teriyaki and sesame oil glaze. Topped out with a bottle of High Hook Pinot Blanc to round out the meal. Great way to end a great day of firsts for the Cane family.
