Sunday fishing with 3 Tom's and a Coop!

[OffTheHookB&T]

I fished Sunday on the Intuition and we headed to the Wilmington in search of some decent water after the blow. There was a lot of cold water on the way out, along with some confused seas and overcast skies. We were pretty much by ourselves for most of the day, most of the Cape May fleet headed further North on reports of some better water. I think the best water temp we found was around 75. Most of the morning we caught small chick dolphins with a couple bailers in the mix. Early in the morningwe did see one white cut the surface but could not get him to check out the spread We also caught a bunch of tiny yellowfin 1-3lbs.
Around 2:30pm we finally had a white come into the spread Coop picked him up on the bridge rod and game on! Tommy quickly got the fish to leader and the day suddenly seemed alot better Not long after, found another white and he came in hot on the flat line. Tom Sr was right by the rod when the fish came up(almost like he could sense it) He gave the rod to Tom jr's friend Tom who had never fought a white before and the fish put on one heck of an aeriel show for us Phat Mann was near us during the afternoon bite, hopefully they found some there also.
The report I got from the boats that went north was good water, but no marlin. Electric Arc, was flying 3 white flags and a bluefin flag, but I'll leave that report for Russel

Thanks Chuck, waiting for the pics to be e-mailed and I'll put up a report. One of our guys got his first white and took the swim. Good job.

Nice work Chuck. Your note about north is correct. several of us worked the 500 line around 700-740 where the warm water was. we saw 80 degree, blue, but not much in the way of bait and no billfish there, except for the 3 Keith had very early on. there were a few notable pro's in the area with no luck other then Dolphin. A friend had a blue on the cold side for a couple of minutes and I did hear one boat had two shots on the cold side 75 degree but missed them.
