Trip #4 May 21-24

Hello Anglers,

After a long day of stopping on large sized schools with little to no reaction we were able to locate some biting fish after the sun went down. The fish grade ranged from 30- 200 pounds with the majority being 120-200. Although not wide open by any means a well-placed jig and a little luck resulted in some trophy fish for our anglers.

Good Afternoon Anglers!

Kyle Landford’s Charter set out on Friday afternoon, eager for some action. After a long night with no schools in sight, we finally spotted one at 5 a.m. There had been promising opportunities before we arrived, and we encountered several good schools throughout the night. It was all about being in the right place at the right time. Just before sunrise, we had an excellent chance and landed a 100-pounder.

Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 233 (Drop-shot Rig)

Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!

Steve Carson, pro-staffer with Penn Fishing, showcases a good outfit to have and a technique to become familiar with before targeting bigger-size bluefin tuna. 

This requires an angler to select and use an outfit with heavy line, and a circle hook and sinker to reach fish when at depth and when live bait is working best.

Thank you to Steve for his time and experience in all things having to do with saltwater angling and Penn Fishing Tackle!

Evening!

Trip #2 with John Waggoner’s Charter set out Tuesday morning, and after a 30-hour search, we finally found the fish late this afternoon! We’re now seeing promising signs with a mixed grade, mostly ranging from 30 to 80 lbs. We’ve had a few bites and landed a couple, and we’re hopeful for tonight.
