Day Three Fishing
Wednesday, August 24 2011
The morning dawned sunny with a light breeze for the 114 boats heading offshore on Day Three of the 2011 Mid-Atlantic $500,000. The bite picked up right where it left off yesterday as sea conditions continued to prove favorable and the leaderboard saw several significant changes.
A major change occurred in the white marlin category as several large billfish were weighed during the evening's weigh-in session. The new leader belongs to Steve Ramsey's Lady Luck with Captain Tommy Baldwin at the wheel who weighed an 82-pounder. We currently have a tie for second place at 75 pounds between Chuck Arnold's Big Dog and Sonny Shepanski's Sailmaker.
Steven Scioscia's Tail Spin remains atop the blue marlin division with his 565-pounder. Damien Romeo's Hubris is still in second place with a 498-pounder and Dan Burt's Pumpin' Hard 66 is currently third with a 494-pounder.
The tuna category has a new leader as Adam Demeusy aboard his Impulse V put angler Frank Massa III into a 148-pound big eye tuna. Nick and Trish Rodriguez's Par Five is now in second place with their 71-pound yellowfin. Tom Jarvis' Dumb and Dumber is in third place with a 63-pound yellowfin.
Art Boykin's Lucky Duck II continues to lead the dolphin category with his 38-pounder and Dave Migliore's Blackbeard's Revenge remains atop the wahoo division with a 50-pounder.
Some of the boats with significant billfish releases on Day Three include Bryan Keith's Predator with nine white marlin released and Jeff Citron's Singularis with seven white marlin released. Pat Healy's Viking 70 and Bobby Pastorius' Rhonda's Osprey each released six white marlin. Kevin Palumbo's Pumpin' Hard 58 and Charlie Horning's Fish Whistle each released five white marlin. Boats with four white marlin released today include Charlie Duerr's Sea Hag; Ted Wills' Pipe Dream; Matthew Lonuzzi's Over the Top; Mark Hoos' Marli; Jr. Davis' Wave Paver; Ron Levy's Sea Splendour and Par Five. Boats releasing a blue marlin today include Andy Schlotter's My Time; Ernest Audet's Lisa K and Susan McCart's Reel Joy.
