luck was not with us today but heres the report from OIFC....
"First bluefin killed today" | World Cat- 33' | 12/08/07
Ok folks. It's officially happening. After a week of bad weather and some close calls, the first local bluefin of 2007-2008 was brought to the dock at the Ocean Isle Fishing Center late this morning. The crew of the Little John drew first blood of the year with their 80 inch fish. Capt. John Dosher would like to thank his crew of Mike Linkous and Brian Rowley (the angler who caught his first ever bluefin, standing up with a 50W reel) for an excellent job on a tough fish, that first tried to run under Capt. Brant and Rube on the It Works and then tried to run into the props. They all had their game faces on and managed to get a gaff in the fish. They are also the proud recipients of a $500 gift certificate to the Ocean Isle Fishing Center for being the first of the year. Congratulations to them--surely there will be more to follow. Come on down and get after 'em folks!!! Sure enough, they're here!!!
-Capt. Chris Burrows
