Islamorada & Dry Tortugas report – Blackfin & Permit – 4/22/11

The &quotPretty Function&quot has had nearly a regular diet of Blackfins as they appear to be all over the place, with some days bringing in wonderful 30lb fish. As you know these are the smallest of the Tuna species so 25 to 35lb fish are a lot of entertaining on 20lb spinning tackle, and even far better on the table!! The mornings are started out off by catching Pilchards out in about 15 to 20 ft of drinking water. You can safely wager at finding at least 300 or so. Once the bait has been gathered off you go as we have many Humps to pick from. The closest is the Islamorada Hump, then we have the 409, the Center Hump with the furthest currently being the Marathon Hump. The &quotPretty Perform&quot has spent most of their trips at the Islamorada Hump and has had Wonderful good results. With a couple of Dolphin mixed in on the troll again towards the reef edge to attempt their luck at some Permit. This also has been relatively productive. Brad Hoffman managed to catch a real lunker near to 40lb’s. Dwell Crab and straight twenty pound examination brings an straightforward 45 minute combat. The Reef has been difficult most days, dealing with lots of gin apparent waters, or no latest which we all know brings hard fishing. Nonetheless, there have been some great King Mack’s on some of the deeper fades and wrecks along with an occasional Sailfish and probably a Cobia who fell behind.

The backcountry has been complete of life and a lot of motion. Sea Trout and Redfish are just about all you want, with an occasional huge Black Drum mixed in. The Tarpon fishing has been finding much better each day because the moon is off. It can be quite hard finding a good hook set with the live mullets as it helps to get lots of bites. The Shark fishing is also obtaining greater with some good Bulls, Lemons and Black ideas also. The Permit are exhibiting up in massive educational institutions out back and are responding nicely to the live crabs.

We’ve had &quotThat’s Right&quot down in the Dry Tortugas with some day journeys mixed in. We had an absolute blast with some wonderful groups and genuine good fishing. We liked some great Flag Yellowtail Snapper fishing on every single trip. There had been plenty of 24 to 28 inch fish that gave all the anglers a great deal of action. Combined in had been some African Pompanos and lots of arm-wrenching motion on the Amber Jacks. One day we had a Huge Whale Shark swim up to us and aboard with him Ended up about fifty percent a dozen Cobia with the largest one particular being about 60 lb’s. In the evenings we had some fantastic Mangrove fishing with fish up to 7 pounds, not to mention our run in with the Sharks at periods. They in no way truly acquired too negative. The Porpoise bothered us once or twice but about all points went real excellent. I know Tony Turner, his Pop and the rest of the gang went back again to Maryland with a lot of coolers total. John Ciccarone and his guys had plenty of motion and we loved letting go most of what the guys caught, which was sort of various for me, lol. On our last day the men even had an absolute blast with the Permit. We went through 2 dozen Crabs and introduced fourteen Allow ranging 15-25 pounds. A excellent class of fish on 12lb Spinning tackle.

April 21, 2011 Lahaina Harbor, Maui

Aloha from Lahaina Harbor. The fishing continues to be productive on the leeward facet of Maui. This previous week featured the tag and release of many blue marlin and shortbill marlin. Of course, there were even a lot more billfish that obtained absent. Additionally, the onos have been trickling into Lahaina Harbor and the mahi bite has been great. The mahis are at present biting equally inshore and offshore so fish can be caught even on brief journeys. If there are any concerns about the fishing, really feel no cost to phone Deli in Commence Me Up’s Lahaina Harbor booth at 808-667-7879 amongst 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Hawaii Time or electronic mail startmeupfish@gmail.com. The report under includes some of Commence Me Up’s latest anglers and their catch.


Corey Guild caught a wonderful 51 lb. ulua even though trolling in shallow h2o off the Lanai lighthouse. Corey’s fish is the second most significant ulua of 2011, coming in only 1 pound shy of the top spot. The top spot is at present held by a 52 lb. ulua caught by Start Me Up earlier this month off Molokai.

Sam Naylor will keep in mind his fishing trip for a long time. The encounter will be memorable for Sam due to the fact he tagged and released an estimated 250 lb. blue marlin soon after a 30 minute battle. Way to go Sam!

Tracy and Adam Daniels have had many productive days of fishing with Commence Me Up more than the previous couple of weeks. On this trip, they caught two nice cow mahis that weighed in at 22 and 24 lbs. Equally fish had been caught trolling off of Manele Bay, Lanai.

Marty Murray had the privilege of tagging and releasing a shortbill spearfish. Although shortbill spearfish are reasonably abundant in Hawaii, they are regarded as to be the most elusive billfish species in the world.

John Rosenthal’s mahi mahi was the first fish that he had ever before caught off of Maui. John was energized about his catch, but he was actually looking ahead to the night barbeque and eating his mahi.

Matt Comiezee and his spouse had a great time bottom fishing and ended up with a bunch of nabeta and a nice uku. Like most snappers, ukus make exceptional table fare. Nabeta are also good to consume and have even been compared to lobster or shrimp, possibly since nabeta consume the crustaceans with which they cohabitate in sandy regions.

Roy and Susie Carroway joined up with Bubba and Rachelle Nevills for a brief early morning trip. The anglers took benefit of the inside bite, going three for 3 on mahis without obtaining as well significantly from Lahaina Harbor. As can be seen in this photo, Start off Me Up not too long ago added a swiveling awning to the fish cutting and exhibit location. The awning rotates to provide shade all day and maintain the fish cutting and show region cool. Cutting fish is a significantly simpler process out of the hot sun. In addition, a cooler cutting area can only enhance the high quality of the fish.

This ono employed its razor sharp teeth to demolish a lure. Thankfully, the ono also bit the hooks and Braden Bower was capable to carry the fish to the boat to guarantee punishment for ruining the skirts on the fortunate lure. Great job Braden!

This mahi grabbed the Ahi P lure operating in the short rigger placement. When the fish bit, Samuel Dadcie sprung into action and ended up boating his mahi.

This group of anglers missed two marlin bites. The anglers created up for the missed possibilities when they came across a pile of floating particles and caught this nice stringer of mahis.

Like numerous siblings, the Johnson brothers don’t always perform with each other. Nonetheless, Cooper and Blake teamed up to catch this bull mahi although operating the location off Olowalu recognized as the dump.

This mahi arrived streaking into the pattern and bit a lure for Tom Mohs. Tom proved himself as a fantastic angler and landed the fish. Tom was pleased with both his efficiency and his mahi. Tom’s family members was excited as properly.

The brother and sister group of Christopher and Megan Johnson took treatment of business when this kawakawa ate a four inch jet. Kawakawa, also recognized as wavy back tuna, are frequently prepared as sashimi.

Jeff Bitner’s mahi was also unable to resist a jet. Even though chrome jets are reasonably easy lures, they are efficient for targeting a range of game fish.

Matt Bouquet and Dan Marek landed a pair of good mahis although fishing the Manele Bay location of Lanai.

Mahi mahis have been biting comparatively shut to Lahaina Harbor. Riley Hudeck took benefit of this pattern to catch his mahi on a quick trip.

Jim Farmer and Mike Hudson followed the ledge working from LA buoy to Manele Bay, Lanai. The ledge yielded a few of mahis for Jim and Mike.

As Sam Hicks can confirm, there have been some nice mahis around. Sam joined the club of fortunate anglers who have caught a good bull mahi.

Maximo and Clinton Allen selected to remain close to Lahaina Harbor on their four hour trip. Maximo and Clinton went a couple of miles south to Olowalu, in which they every single landed a mahi.

Alan Bradley caught his mahi on a lawn chair jet in the location identified as fatboys near the shoals of Kahoolawe. The lawn chair jet was component of the spread because of to anticipation of onos currently being on the shoals. Skirting a jet with lawn chair content prevents onos from destroying the lure without sacrificing the lure’s capacity to catch fish.

Laurie Asay followed up her marriage ceremony by heading out and catching a nice bull mahi the very following day.

Jude and Myles Sander had a exciting fishing trip. Jude boated a mahi and Myles landed a wonderful ono. That’s undoubtedly an remarkable catch for Jude and Myles.

Holden Beach Nearshore Fishing 4-21

I had 2 50 percent day charters these days, and the fish ended up CHEWING. On the morning trip, the bluefish had been biting difficult in twenty ft. of drinking water in between Lockwood Folly and the huge hill. We had many double and triple headers, maintaining fifteen and releasing another 15 or twenty. We also caught our initial spanish of the yr. On the afternoon trip, the bluefish were even now biting difficult, but with a considerably more compact class of fish. Out of fifteen or so in the initial 30 minutes, we determined to head offshore a small bit and catch and release some &quotendangered&quot sea bass. I wouldn’t hesitate to say we landed someplace between 100 and one hundred fifty bass, with the majority keeper size, and rather a few more than two lbs. All in all, not a bad day, with superb fishing, and lovely weather conditions. I have two more trips tommorow, but don’t know if the weatherman will let us go. I’m maintaining my fingers crossed.

Full Moon Hawaiian Mahi

Headed out this previous Sunday early morning with variety of a double whammy operating versus us. A complete moon was up all evening and the ocean was glassy sleek, each circumstances considered the makings of inadequate trolling out here. But, we have been raring to go fishing and, remembering that luck transpires when preparation meets possibility, just needed an oppotunity simply because we undoubtedly had been prepared! Pushed throttle in the oily relaxed h2o and cruised on plane out into the channel even though searching for signs of fish, birds, porpoise, anything at all.

Last but not least arrived at an region exactly where there ended up scattered birds, so throttled back again and deployed a full spread of SuperBars. Worked the location and noticed enhanced symptoms of daily life with flying fish skittering about. Looked back again to verify the pattern and saw a mahimahi fly through the air and dive bomb my JT – hookup! Received that mahi into the bag and iced it down fresh fish for dinner!

Attachment 191594

Continued to operate the place, then spotted a pod of fake killer whales. Individuals guys hunt the identical fish we’re right after and are better at it than we are, so we ceded the immediate region to them and moved on a ways. The calm h2o was looking like a blue desert when the JT obtained hit once more! Woohoo, another mahi accepts the invitation for a boat trip to dinner.

Attachment 191593

Viewing how sluggish the bite is and getting worked by way of the tide change, we turned for property. A even though later on we get a farewell present in the form of a 3rd mahi tagging the JT. Now we’re really happy because we’ve received 1 mahi for each of the 3 of us aboard. On the way in, a tiny YFT commits suicide by hitting a MeatBall to give us some fresh tuna sashimi as properly. Sluggish day total, but the Archer SuperBars saved the day for us!

Finest Regards,
Courtland

The fishing has still been outstanding and the typical dimensions has definitly gone up a little Most of my fish have been coming up dwell bait with sixty pound leader and 5/ hooks. The bait is genuine modest so we have to downsize our hooks to match up. I have caught a few fish chumming and a couple of on poppers but eighty percent have arrive on dwell mackerals.

The amberjack bite has been fantastic as nicely. Often good to add a limit of ajs to the boat on the way in. I have been jigging them up effortlessly or dropping huge reside baits when I can locate them. All the rigs in 400-600 feet of water seem to be holding big universities of ajs.

The wahoo bite has slowed down a little bit although I did stack up 8 wahoo about a week back on bombers. That was a very good morning as we caught all wahoo inside ten miles of the pass.
