Gulf Stream for Whites
My off shore trip out of Ocean City, Maryland on 23 September was just outstanding.
We left the dock at 0415 on the Marli – 58′ custom Carolina Sportsman. Capt Brian had a goal of whites and meat. His charters this year had an outstanding bite, so we had high expectations. There were four fisherman, two mates and the captain.
With my turn in the chair, I hooked up on the first bull dolphin about 0730. The dolphin bite continued to be productive but somewhat intermittent throughout the morning. Everyone got into the party!!
About mid-morning I brought in the first yellow fin of the day. This fish weighed in at about seventy lbs. Great start. A short time later we had a quad hook up of yellow fin but only brought two in. These two weighed in at 60 lbs each. Not too bad.
Just after lunch the whites began to surface. During the next two hours, we hooked up with seven whites and boated four.
We finished our day with four white marlin, three yellow fin tunas and twenty dolphins. This ended up to be a great day in the gulf stream.
If you are looking for a charter out of Ocean City, ik recommend Capt Brian on the Marli. We stayed at the Comfort Inn which was 5 minutes from the Sunset Marina.
We have already booked our date for next year.
Until next time, Tightlines.
