After sitting at the dock for over a week we finally got back out on a day troll trip with the Roche Supply Company from Scranton, PA area. We managed to boat one Big Eye just under 70 inches and a small Yellowfin. Capt Kobey along with mates Vinny and Ray did a great job […]

We cancelled our overnight trip down to the Washington Canyon this past weekend because of the offshore weather in the far southern canyons so ended up taking the group out today on a 15 hour day troll trip. This was a last minute trip that we decided to do late Sunday afternoon after I suggested […]
Final count on last night’s trip was tally 175 lb. Big Eye, 18 Yellowfin, 4 Hammer Head shark releases, lost a big Mako when it got in the props and a White Marlin that we pulled the hook on. Talk about action all night long and this was one of those trips. Not […]
254 lb Big Eye weighed at South Jersey Marina and is the largest of the season. My crew led by Captain’s Steve and Tom along with mates Vinnie and Ray did a hell of a job throughout the trip as they were hard at work every minute of trip. Vinnie spent almost 9 hours prepping […]
When we arrived on the tuna grounds early am yesterday morning (Tuesday) it seemed like almost every boat was fighting a Big Eye tuna. Unfortunately for us we were about 30 minutes too late mostly due to the fact we had a 4 ½ hour boat ride in the dark to reach the canyon where […]
I have been offshore fishing for 25 years now and over the years I have noticed definite trends that often produce some excellent tuna fishing. Right now I feel the Bluefins should be making another strong appearance on the inshore lumps after taking the better part of the last week off. The simple reason is […]
I report the bad as well as the good when it comes to fishing and yesterday it was really bad at the Dog for every boat I know that was out fishing by us. Some of the same boats that had at least 10 or more on Tuesday never had one bite yesterday all day. […]
On today’s (Saturday July 27) open boat trip everything came together about as good as I could have hoped for. Mates Vinnie and Ray had worked well into the early evening yesterday changing our spread specifically for inshoreYellowfins, Wahoo and Mahi-Mahi and their work did pay off on today’s trip. We basically rig our lures […]
You will probably see some reports coming from a few other Barners that were out by us today as the Bluefin chunking and jigging was as good as it could possibly be in the very early am today. We fished alongside Dan from Cape May Tackle on his friends Howard’s boat plus another couple of […]
We headed out this morning ready to troll, jig or chunk and I would chose with type of fishing I thought would produce the best. First choice was jigging and that is how we started the day today within a mile or so from where we had such great jigging action on our last few […]
