Jose Ruiz was on fire on the fluke grounds catching his limit plus quickly taking the fluke pool with a 8.3lber. From there we headed offshore over night and were on the grounds just after light.

It was a great group of guys and they worked like a team the entire day!

Monday May 12- Dave Duffy’s Deep Water Adventure

Dave Duffy’s Deep Water Adventure Capt. Carl reports a great trip on Dave Duffy’s Deep Water Adventure on the Viking Star! Day one started off very good with very steady action in the deep, catching quality golden tiles, giant “seddleback” pollack, sow hake and elusive cusk. We had a lot of fun filling up the coolers for hours! Eventually we started to do some exploring, looking for bigger tiles, and we found some, as well as more hake and cusk. By days end, coolers use full and arms were tired. Day two, we woke up to some windy conditions which lasted all day, making fishing a bit tough having to use 3-5lb lead to hold bottom, but the tiles did bite pretty well for those who put in the effort. As the day went on, the conditions got better and…

Mon May 5- 14th Annual Freeport Tuna Club Charter

Captain Steven Sr’s report from the 14th Annual Freeport Tuna Club 2 Day Fishing & Eating & Drinking Charter: Day one started out with a bit of a swell and a 35 man tangle- the largest ever witnessed by the Capt and crew! After getting the cobwebs out, it was a steady pick for much of the day with mostly small to medium goldens and quite a few blue lines as well. We’d have a good drift, attempt to do it again and the boat would drift a different direction. It seemed every 1st drop at a spot was the best. Overall, Day 1 produced about an average of 4 tile per person, with a mess of sexy hake, some cod, pollack, ling, a barrel and a beautiful tropical streamer bass caught by the powerful Chris Bellanzoni Jr. Bobby Hindeland…
