Bluefin Make a Splash at Hatteras!

[alexcraig]

It would appear that the bluefin have finally put in an appearance off Hatteras.

This is today’s report from Hatteras Harbor Marina.

********
Bluefin are here! Our boats released several today and brought one back to the dock. A private boat weighed in a nice 310lb Bluefin. There were also some Blackfin and Yellowfin Tuna. A scattered Wahoo and Dolphin bite.

Godspeed: Gregory Hoff of Cary, NC released a Bluefin Tuna. Jeffrey Roser of Virginia Beach, VA caught a 140lb Bluefin Tuna. Casey Hodges of Danbury, CT released a Shark.

Looks like I’ve got to get serious about putting some crews together now!

Please see this earlier thread for additional info.

Upcoming Bluefin Trips

As I indicated in my last post in that thread ....

Have a trip booked for 2/21. Still have room for one more person.

I also have one person who wants to fish 2/18 or 2/19. Need 3 more to make the trip.

Beyond that, would like to fish as many days as possible between 2/18 and the end of February.

Hopefully, the bluefin will be in residence by then. If not, we’ll simply bag the trips.

As always, give me a shout if you’d like to wrestle some of those rascals to the boat! ;-)

saw them yesterday the hat boats are mixed with the OI boats on a nice class of BFT below the point, a lot of hat boats up north of the shoals.

Thanks Capt.,

I'm doing my level best to put together some crews who are interested in playing with 'em.

What's the name of the boat you run? If I hear you out there I'll give you a shout sometime.
