    Sunday OI Report

    I dont see a report from Bill on here so I will go ahead and put one up. We fished Reel Fancy on sunday with Bert, Howard, Joey, Brad, and Bill. We started out at the 430 just inshore of a broken weedline in 80 fathoms and 72 degree water. There wasnt much going on on the line. A couple of the first boats there picked up a handful of flip flops a piece. Didnt sound like much doing so Bill turned her inshore into the blended water and soon after we have a 25# yeller on the shotgun bar. An hour goes by and we push north up to the 460 and get a longrigger and shotgun bite, catching two bonitas. We had seen the first decent mark of the day there so we circle back around and get a shortrigger yeller 30#. Circle back nadda. Keep working the area and a half hour later, and a half hour later, shotgun bite, 30# yeller in the box. No more bites there so we worked offshore to the weedline and we thought we had weeds on the planer so we crank up to find a 10# dolphin on the planer. We trolled back into the blended water and had one more bite on the longrigger that may have been a tuna, but no love. Around noon we decided to head north and go tilefishing where we quickly caught close to a limit of tiles before heading home. It was incredibly calm and sunny all morning, but got foggy on the way in. We heard of a ton of blue marlins spotted, a few hooked, even a double header of 400+# fish was hooked, but didnt hear of any released. Tunas had squid in their bellies. No bait marked or seen all day other than a school of 5# bonitas and a lone flyer. Didnt hear of any other tunas AT ALL caught out of OI and it sounded like real tough fishing, so we were happy with our day.
    Final tally:
    3 yellers
    2 bonita
    1 mahi
    28 tiles

    I will tell you exactly where to find them and you can do the actual finding yourself. The best spots are found that way anyhow. I wouldnt consider myself an expert on catching tiles like some of the commercial guys, but I can tell you I know what I am doing and I can tell you the optimal place to start. The prime condition you are looking for is depth and type of bottom. To be very precise I have found that there is a very exact depth that blueline tiles congregate on for some reason I have spots from Maryland to North Carolina, which are the only places I have fished these things and the prefered depth is exactly 245 feet plus or minus three feet. The other thing you are gonna look for is soft botoom because of their "nesting" habits. After that you believe you are in the right area, zoom your sounder on the bottom lock and cruise around for a minute till you find them... and if you have the right conditions, it will only take a minute to find them. Good luck. Jake

    Gotta do something.... There hasnt been a red hot tuna bite in Virginia Beach for two or three years. Tilefishing is the new offshore fishing. Should have seen and heard the guys out of OI tilefishing on sunday. You know its bad trolling when the entire OI fleet is parked up deep dropping.
