Fishing report from Cape May

[bvette]

The past 2 weekends have been excellent for this time of year for good catches on tuna fishing. The boats fishing in the canyons are also seeing and catching white marlin already. Some boats are catching double digits per trip on the tuna. Makos are now being caught. Big bluefish are being caught while shark fishing. Some boats have dropped a line deep on the wrecks and catching Cod most are small in the 5lb range but there have been some 15 to 20 pounders that have been caught. Also on the same wrecks nice sea bass have also been caught. The offshore fishing seems to be the best bet. The inshore Bass and Drum fish have slacked off. All of these fish I have seen out of Cape May Marine. Other similar reports from other local marinas in the area have surfaced also.

One of the boats out of the marina yesterday trolled up over 20 tuna fish. The fish seem to be from the Spencer to the Washington.

Fishing offshore seems to still be very good for the 3 weekend in a row. This weekend several dolphin have come to the docks as well as Tuna, White marlin releases are getting better and a few Blue Marlin have now been caught and released. The Shark fishing is not that bad. Many different species of sharks have been caught. On some of the wrecks guys are still catching Cod and sea bass.
