Surf Report: Anglers spread out a bit across the beach this morning with the north parking lot open and the south lot accessible about half way down. Weather and sea conditions on the surf remained great with flat water and calm winds. The fishing action however slowed a bit from yesterday. The small blues were around but not hitting like they were the day before. We didn't see any trout taken like yesterday but one angler landed a nice sized kingfish using cut bait.
Remember, the art show is in town and the artists are working hard painting on the beach and along the beach road. Some of the paintings are really good. Catch that big one and you might get your picture painted while you fish%21
The tuna are back after a brief hiatus after Ernesto churned things up a bit. Yesterday Kenny G. from Delaware had a good day with 3 yellow fin, 2 blue fin%29 and a bunch of false albacore trolling squid daisy chains and spreader bars. A few other boats also did really well some having over 10 yellow fin. Donnie Stevens on Screamin Reel had 6 yellow fin tuna and a white marlin trolling. Inshore today Frank and Connie Payton from Milton, DE limited out on bluefish today using white bucktails with squid they also had a kingfish and croaker fishing on a boat right off the beach.
Donna Thompson a Captain Steve%E2%80%99s regular caught this 72 pound black drum using peeler crabs at Saxis.
Some interesting tuna facts:
%09
There are many different types of tuna, the most common and fascinating are the blue fin and yellow fin. Both reaches weight over 500 lbs. The tuna's body is built for speed and maneuverability. When moving at their average speed of 10 mph the tuna's forward dorsal, ventral and pectoral fins extend outward, helping the fish in making precise maneuvers. When the fish is at it's top speed of 60 to 80 kmph all it's forward fins fold into slots and two rows of stabilizing finlets will be utilized. The tuna's sleek body resembles a missile which contributes to it's ability to reach such high speeds.
The tuna is also one of the hardest fighting fish in the world. When fishing it, one can sometimes spend hours just getting it near the boat to finally reel up. The tuna is an avidly sought after fish for it's meat, and fished heavily for sport due to the incredible difficulty associated with catching a tuna via a pole and hook."With speeds of 60-80 kmph one of the fastest fish in the water, will give you the challenge of your life."
Kingfish %28whiting, roundhead, sea mullet%29 different names same fish.
Another good meal and drinks Capt. Steve's friends and family enjoying themselves on the deck
