Written on: July 22nd, 2018 in Fishing Report

It’s a beautiful day down here at the marina! It’s warm out with cool winds coming off the water. From our fuel dock, we can see lots of tournament fishermen braving the gusts out in the inlet in their neon shirts! Good luck guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While trolling ballyhoo on the “Black Out” out at Massey’s Canyon on Friday, Sean Tate, Jaclyn Vernon, John Porter and Capt. Rob Thompson, all from Dagsboro, DE, caught this awesome 186lb blue fin tuna.  Rob, John and Sean all had a hand on the rod with this monster, but Rob is the angler that finally got it to the boat. Awesome catch guys! Those are some much deserved beers!
