Saltwater Offshore Discussion

I know this is discussed ad nauseum, but it is almost bizarre how Oregon Inlet is the only place nowadays that gets them. I went up last week, and they catch more of them than dolphin. We were in blue green, non gulf stream water. Got 8 grow ups. They only catch them scattered down the coast at Hatteres. One thing of note is that our mate on the “Fishinfrenzy” was a native and fished there all his life and told me they have gone missing there at times. What a perplexing fish.

Word on the grapevine is that at least one was caught yesterday off charleston

Small YFT caught yesterday in 1000+ feet. I heard it on the radio. I was inshore of them.

Thats encouraging. They seem to be plentiful at OI. Maybe we will luck into one next trip.

I feel ya. We did 9 yellows and 9 mauis on Friday. Brought back memories of fishing with Dad a long time ago. I can understand the fishery slowing down but not flat out disappearing like it has.

Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

A few juveniles show up with the blackfins every once in a while

To add to the mix outa OI, the Bigeyes have shown up. I know a group that fought and lost one for an hour Friday. Oh well. I like to eat bsb more anyway. I think that paticular area is like an interstate highway that goes from 20 to 4 lanes. The thing that trips me out is they don’t catch the same thing 30 miles up, or 30 miles down the coast.
