Summer is here and fishing has been great at IRM.  The docks have seen some record-breaking fish landed.    Inshore we have seen plenty of Bluefish, Seabass, Flounder, and Spanish Mackerel.  Offshore the Tuna are out there some days good catches and other’s days not so good, hence why it’s called fishing not catching.

Fishing Report for 7/7/22

Written on: July 7th, 2022 in Fishing Report

Finally we are back online with our fishing reports!!!  What a summer we have had here at IRM.

The Kids Catch Tournament held on June 25 & 26 was awesome with 151 anglers entered.  They sure did bring a ton of fish back to the docks.  We will be able to post some pics shortly so keep a close eye out.  Last weekend we held the IRM slip-holders Tuna Blast with 20 boats entered and everyone hitting the docks with some nice fish.

Offshore has been picking up this last week with Yellowfin, Bluefin and even a few Big Eye Tunas.  The sharks have been thick so alot of the Tunas are getting eaten before getting to the boats!!  There have been some scattered Mahi landed as well and nice catches of Tilefish have been brought to our docks.

Inshore and in the Inlet we have seen Flounder, Seabass, Trout, Triggerfish, Rockfish kind of a mixed bag out there.

Be sure to give us a call at 302-227-3071 and get hooked up with one of our Charters or Headboats.  Ms. Carolyn will be glad to assist you on booking a trip of your dreams.

 

Till next time Tight Lines and Great Times ahead!!!!
