Hello Yellowfin!!!!

June 17, 2012
The weather might have been nasty the last few days offshore, and was not pretty on the way out today, but the fishing offshore is still doing GREAT!  The two boats that made it out offshore today ended up being rewarded with nice catches of yellowfin tuna and dolphin.  The Game Over came back with 8 yellowfin and 3 dolphin, while the Foolish Pleasure had 7 yellowfin and 3 dolphin!  As the wind dies out this week and the weather warms up some mid week, we expect that fishing will only continue to get better offshore!
 
Inshore fishing has been a bit slower this weekend with the temperature drop and NE winds gusting, but aboard the Bay Bee today they did catch several throwbacks on both the morning and afternoon trips.  The Get Sum reports catching 1 keeper on their am trip and 2 keepers on their pm trip with several throwbacks on both trips.  They also hooked into some trout and rockfish throwbacks as well!  Like for the offshore fishing forecast, we hope to see more keepers coming back to the docks as the weather begins to warm up and the wind die down this week!
 
Today also saw the conclusion of the 32nd annual Shark Tournament.  The release category seemed to be the most popular this year, with only bluefish being weighed in at the docks today.  As of 6 pm, there were three bluefish weighed in with weights of 1.5 lbs, 0.9 lbs, and 0.8 lbs.  Official results and payouts will be announced this evening at the awards banquet and posted on their website ( www.ocsharktournament.com ).

Fishing is great, but there is a shorage of anglers!

June 16, 2012
Yesterday in the ace of strong winds, one boat ventured out to fish the OC shark tournament. The "No Shock Top" reported 2 releases and returned with a few species of sharks, such Duksy and Sandbar. The "Get Sum" with Captain Nick Clemente had a very successful evening trip returning with happy customers and a report of bluefish and shad. The "Bay Bee" with Captain Mikey Walsh also took both of his trips today and reported a few keeper flounder as well as throwbacks throughout both trips. Overall the fishing has been great, if this wind would just stop blowing we could start fishing again.  

Tuna Fishing is Red Hot!

June 12, 2012
Today we only had one boat offshore, but fishing continued to be red hot with both good sizes and numbers showing back up at the dock.  The Moore Bills reported good fishing and brought back 7 yellowfins today with an overall weight of 261 pounds!
 
In addition to good offshore fishing, the inshore fishing is beginning to pick up on the Bay Bee with more small Flounder being caught and more often.  There are some keepers ( >17'') that are beginning to be scattered in the catches as well this week. 
 
As we approach the weekend we are gearing up here at the Ocean City Fishing Center for the 32nd Annual Shark Tournament.  The tournament runs Thursday through Saturday, with weigh ins beginning at 3:30 each day.  There will be a special set up area just for kids to allow for an up close experience (both educational and interesting!) during weigh ins of the different shark species.  It is an event that is sure to be entertaining for the whole family!  For more information or last minute updates on the tournament please check their website at www.ocsharktournament.com

June 6, 2011 - OCFC Fleet cleans up at the Mako Mania!!!!

June 6, 2011
It was a profitable Mako Mania tournament for boats from the OCFC fleet.  Capt. Franky Pettolina of the "Last Call" fished on a friend's boat, "Blackjack" who came in first in the tournamnet, but they were not across the board in money winnings.  The "Blackjack" took home $12,854.00.  Capt. Jason Genthner on the "Tighten Up" came in second, but won the majority of the money with a pot totaling $31,545.00.  Capt. Rob Skillman aboard the "Moore Bills" took 3rd place and some of the 2nd place money totaling $9,773.00.  Also, winning money in the 4th place position was Capt. Willie Zimmerman running the "Game On".  They also received most of the 3rd place money totaling $3,252.00.  Since no Thresher was caught, that money was split between the winners which is a sore subject for one of our private boats, "Waynes World" who fought a HUGE Thresher for five and a half hours only to lose it at the boat.  They estimated just the body alone to be around 18' long.  Better luck in a few weeks "Wayne's World".
 
So, as you can see, you can't go wrong booking a charter with any of the boats here at OCFC!!!!  Call us today (800) 322-3065.

I am not the regular fishing report girl so please bear with me!  With not many boats fishing today it sure has been a eventful evening here.  The Morning Star was the first of our boats back to the dock tonight.  As a departure from their normal trip Capt. Monty and the boys decided to leave the dock at an ungodly hour and go deep... it paid off!  They came back to the dock with cooler fulls of big sea bass and blue line tilefish, as well as one wahoo.  The Last Call spent the day in the Washington Canyon and wore the arms off of their anglers catching mahi mahi, they aslo saw 2 whites who just were not hungry.  The Moore Bills came back to the dock with 10 white marlin and a boat load of mahi to show for the day.  Bring up the rear with the late arrivals... the Playmate.  Capt. Willie is still not back to the slip as I write this but is is reported that they released 14 whites today, and by my numbers that means they have just caught their 100th white marlin of the season aboard the Playmate. 
As always the Bay Bee sailed today, releasing 30 or so fish... and 1 eel!  While an eel might not seem report worthy to everyone you should have seen the smile on the face of the 4 year old boy that caught it!

Well, all is quite on the home front.  We're all waiting for hurricane Earl to pass through.  No boats fished today nor are they planning on fishing tomorrow.  It's a shame with the awesome White Marlin bite we've had this week for a storm to disrupt the excitement.  Let's hope Earl only brings the bite in closer.  Talk to you all in a few days.  Time to batten down the hatches!!!!

September has started with some white marlin and dolphin. The private boats "Hot Rod" and "About Time" each had one white today.  "About Time" also had 30-40 dolphin.  "Fish Bonz" caught and released four whites and "Foolish Pleasures" had  a total of six. "All In" came in with a rigger bending 10 white marlin flags!!!
Our flounder boat caught 71 throwbacks and one keeper. Lots of fun ! If you can't swim in the rough surf, consider a four hour fishing trip on our own Bay Bee. Call us at 410-213-1121.

Once again the white marlin bite is the excitement. The captains and mates described huge numbers to be seen in the water, but not so easy to hook.The "Fish Bonz" managed to catch and release two whites and some dolphin.  Our charter boat, "Last Call", and the private boat, "Lite Bite", also caught two white marlin each. Capt. Dale and his crew on the "Flooshish Pleasures" were happy to get five white releases and Capt. Rob on the "Moore Bills" reports 12 whites for his crew. Several boats from the Fishing Center will be on the prowl for more white marlin tomorrow. We wish them luck before Hurricane Earl pays a visit to the East coast.

August 22, 2010
Sorry it is later than normal but today we had about 35 boats leave the marina both charters and privates in the hunt for fish. Captain Willie Zimmerman on the "Playmate" relesed 2 whites today and slayed about 4 gaffer dolphin. Next in the lineup is the "Samurai" with Captain Jermey Blunt who had about 16 dolphin one of which weighed around 20 pounds. "Moore Bills"  with Captain Rob Skillman had an abundance of dolphin today, we estimate there was about 30 all together which took two carts to get them to the weigh station. Another white marlin was released on the "Jade II" with Captain Ed Kauffmen today. In addition to his white marlin he managed to kill about 8 dolphin, 1 yellowfin, and 1 longfin. Another substancial size tuna was brought tot the docks today by Captain Steve on the "Game Over." Father of the first million dollar marlin Captain Mark Radcliffe  on the "Fish Bonz" slayed quite a few dolphin today providing his charter with a great day and some great dinner. Another one of our boats the "Why Not" also caught multiple dolphin today thanks to Captain Wade Lober. Two wahoo were seen in the gut barrels tonight. Captain Dale Lisi on the "Foolish Pleasures" hooked and landed a very nice looking wahoo today and released a white marlin, with a few dolphin sprinkled throughout the day. "Playtime" with Captain Ron Taylor also killed a whoo today that weighed in at 42 pounds, in addtion to his wahoo he had some nice gaffer dolphin and spotted some beautiful white marlin. Private boats today also had a great deal of success. A transient docked with us for some time this season the "Lite Bite" released 6 white marlin today. Congrats go out the son of Captain Scott Marsden on the "About Time" who relesed his first white marlin today. Shark master Captain Mark Sampson released what was estimated to be a 7 foot 160 pound sand tiger, along with 2 sandbars, 2 atlantic sharpnose, and killed some croaker. As Captain Monty Hawkins on the "Morning Star" does everyday he made a expedition to the offshore wrecks. He returned with a happy boat with almost everyone limiting out on black sea bass, and a few lucky anglers had keeper flounder. Our bay trips continue to run and prove to be successful. Captain Bob Gowar on the headboat the "Bay Bee" threwback 61 undersize flounder and found one of appropriate size on his morning trip, in his afternoon trip he had about 15 throwbacks. On the private bay fishing charter the "Get Sum" Captain Nick Clemente proves to be an expert at finding flounder, his charter reported too many throwbacks to count. Book your trip with Ocean City's Premier Charter Fleet today before it is too late. It makes a great birthday present, or christmas present to book a charter for a loved one!

"I never passed a hail."
by Will S. Hays

"Mate, get ready down on deck,
I'm heading for the shore;
I'll ring the bell, for I must land
This boat for evermore.

"Say, pilot, can you see that light --
I do -- where angels stand?
Well, hold her jackstaff hard on that,
For there I'm going to land.

"That looks like Death that's hailing me;
So ghastly, grim and pale;
I'll toll the bell -- I must go in;
I never passed a hail.

"Stop her! Let her come in slow;
There! That will do -- no more.
The lines are fast, and angels wait
To welcome me ashore.

"Say, pilot, I am going with them
Up yonder through that gate;
I'll not come back -- you ring the bell
And back her out -- don't wait.

"For I have made the trip of life,
And found my landing place;
I'll take my soul and anchor that
Fast to the Throne of Grace."
 
 
To our friend, Jimmy Jackson.  You will be missed dearly.  Rest in peace.
Services will be held, Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at the Community Church of Ocean Pines.  The viewing is from 10AM - 1PM, the funeral will be held from 1PM - 2PM.  In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Ocean City Reef Foundation for a reef in Jimmy's name are appreciated.

You can thank “Hanna” for this short report. Today the “Playmate” with Capt. Will Zimmerman was the only boat in the fleet to fish. They came in with a really nice Wahoo. As I’m sure you all know “Hanna” is working her way towards O.C. and we will not have any boats out until maybe Monday. We have buckled down the hatches her at the Ocean City Fishing Center and are ready for whatever she has to bring us.
