From a fisherman’s perspective we’ve been in a pretty miserable weather pattern over the past week.  The sun has shown at times, but the rain and WIND have made conditions very tough in the bay and impossible in the ocean.  I’m pretty certain no boats have been past the sea buoy in several days and… Read more »

Sure it was partly cloudy and temps felt nice, but boy was it windy again today!  It was even windier than it has been the past couple of days and the bay is getting reely dirty.  Captain Chase Eberle of Chasin’ Tides Charters thinks it might be two weeks before it cleans up again and… Read more »

Although it was mostly sunny for most of the day and very nice as far as temperatures go, we had to deal with a stiff northeast wind once again today.  It also rained pretty good this evening over at least Ocean City and Ocean Pines so that won’t help bay conditions clean up any.  There… Read more »

When the weather forecast for the week came out most of us covering the 2019 MidAtlantic thought that it would be a fish Monday, Tuesday and Friday type of event thanks to rough weather forecast for today and tomorrow.  It certainly seems to be panning out that way as most boats fished Monday and Tuesday,… Read more »

Today was another very heavily fished day for the 2019 MidAtlantic as 148 of the 156 registered boats decided to give it a go and see if they could catch something that would end up on the leaderboard.  There are still lots of fishing days left this week, but several boats only have one day… Read more »

I bet you’ve heard of the White Marlin Open in Ocean City, Maryland, but have you heard about the Reel Inn Restaurant & Dock Bar located just down the dock from the scales at Harbor Island?The Harbor Island condo area and the East Channel are both popular spots to fish & the Reel Inn is… Read more »

The 2019 MidAtlantic is underway and today was a busy day at the scales in both Cape May, NJ and Ocean City, MD.  78 boats fished out of Ocean City today and 60 boats fished out of Cape May and there were a bunch of fish caught.  The highly coveted Most Points Overall category is… Read more »
