Day Three Fishing
Wednesday, August 24 2011
The morning dawned sunny with a light breeze for the 114 boats heading offshore on Day Three of the 2011 Mid-Atlantic $ 500,000. The bite picked up right where it left off yesterday as sea conditions continued to prove favorable and the leaderboard saw several significant changes.
A major change occurred in the white marlin category as several large billfish were weighed during the evening’s weigh-in session. The new leader belongs to Steve Ramsey’s Lady Luck with Captain Tommy Baldwin at the wheel who weighed an 82-pounder. We currently have a tie for second place at 75 pounds between Chuck Arnold’s Big Dog and Sonny Shepanski’s Sailmaker.
Steven Scioscia’s Tail Spin remains atop the blue marlin division with his 565-pounder. Damien Romeo’s Hubris is still in second place with a 498-pounder and Dan Burt’s Pumpin’ Hard 66 is currently third with a 494-pounder.
The tuna category has a new leader as Adam Demeusy aboard his Impulse V put angler Frank Massa III into a 148-pound big eye tuna. Nick and Trish Rodriguez’s Par Five is now in second place with their 71-pound yellowfin. Tom Jarvis’ Dumb and Dumber is in third place with a 63-pound yellowfin.
Art Boykin’s Lucky Duck II continues to lead the dolphin category with his 38-pounder and Dave Migliore’s Blackbeard’s Revenge remains atop the wahoo division with a 50-pounder.
Some of the boats with significant billfish releases on Day Three include Bryan Keith’s Predator with nine white marlin released and Jeff Citron’s Singularis with seven white marlin released. Pat Healy’s Viking 70 and Bobby Pastorius’ Rhonda’s Osprey each released six white marlin. Kevin Palumbo’s Pumpin’ Hard 58 and Charlie Horning’s Fish Whistle each released five white marlin.

Exceptional action this early morning on spanish mackerel, bluefish and a couple of good sharks. Ronda and David
stayed hectic fighting fish for the very first 50 % of the trip and stuffed up a great bag of fillets for dinner. We
changed up the game program to go consider for redfish at the identical spot as yesterdays trip and they ended up no
exactly where to be found. Thats how its been for the reds one day they are there next day they are absent?
The afternoon journey with the Bradly family members had a blast catching sharks and bluefish on the light
tackle as effectively and we had to call it quits early simply because we ran out of bait and the waves ended up building
quick from the Hurricane that is on its way up the coast. Surfs up the next handful of days so I will be taking
some time off to allow the situations settle back again down before I get any clients back again out fishing.

What A Jack!! caught by Jeff Romano and his son late this afternoon. This huge jack tipped the scales at
30lbs and took a good 20 minutes to land. I nevertheless think that pound for pound jack crevalle are 1 of the
fighting fish we have in our waters. This was only my second jack of the 12 months. It has been a slow calendar year
for the jacks for confident and it appears like they are starting up to lastly shift in. This mornings trip was excellent as
properly and my customer Chris Swenson fought a 100 in addition pound tarpon for twenty minutes and sadly obtained

Tuesday, August 23 2011
The earthquake that shook the entire eastern seaboard from North Carolina to Canada also shook the leaderboard on Day Two of the 2011 Mid-Atlantic $ 500,000.

Steven Scioscia’s Tail Spin with Captain Dennis Glynn at the helm took the lead in the blue marlin division after weighing a 565-pounder. Damien Romeo’s Hubris is in second place with a 498-pounder and Dan Burt’s Pumpin Hard 66 is right behind in third place with his 494-pounder.
Nick and Trish Rodriguez’s Par Five lead the tuna category with a 71-pound yellowfin followed in second place by Tom Jarvis’ Dumb and Dumber with a 63-pounder. Third place in the category currently belongs to Jim Foulke’s Trust Me Too with a yellowfin of 58 pounds.
Art Boykin’s Lucky Duck II weighed a 38-pound dolphin today to take the lead in the category while Dave Migliore’s Blackbeard’s Revenge now leads the wahoo category with a 50-pounder.
