Made the run from Cove Marina in Atlantic City to Deebold's Marina in Brigantine on Saturday. It was a little breezy, but nothing like today. Stay Healthy!

Dolphin visit
We were offshore shark fishing yesterday when these three visitors arrived. Later in the day another group of dolphin visited along with a leatherback turtle. The turtle was shy and did not come within camera range. I'll post video of the shark fight when I get it. It was a nice dusky that we released without removing it from the water. The ocean weather was perfect, one of the best days this season.
This is just one of the six dusky that we removed the hook and released on July 9th. We needed to cut the cable on a couple sharks that had the hooks too deep for removal. The hooks are carbon steel and should rust out quickly.
Mako release
Here is a short video of our Mako release yesterday. We need better cable cutters. The fish was really worn out, but it eventually swam away okay. It was caught with a 20 International.
Had a great day fishing from James's light tackle boat yesterday with James, Jen, and my 10 year old granddaughter Jamie. We started in Great Bay, but didn't see any action, so we moved to behind Atlantic City, and found a steady pick of big blues from 8 to 12.5 pounds. We were using fresh Riptide bunker, and clam chum. We caught throughout the entire outgoing tide. Boated and released at least 14 blues.
