BLUEFIN REPORT W/PIC
We struck out on Friday with our group of jiggers and poppers from NJ & SC The weather was a little coppy, but we had high expectations. When I pulled her back there were slicks and fish everywhere! Oh Boy! I stopped on a mark and everyone had a bite! Only one hook up. Fought the fish for awhile, hook pulls, bummer! Don't know how many bites during the day on jigs and poppers, many fish swiming down sea. Courtland ended up catching a 62 in fish for a little sushi! Lots of bites and the wind calmed down for the ride home. Have open days this week for jigging or trolling, the big boys are here!
FIRST 2012 GIANT BLUEFIN!
We had our first jig & pop tuna trip for the year yesterday and what a day it was with our A-TEAM from Saltywater Tackle. The weather was, shall we say, a little on the blowish side, but we decided to give it a try and things worked out great for everyone! Our first fish was on in a matter of minutes, hooked on a jig! Nice fish and after a 20 min. fight the hook pulled about 10 feet from the leader. Oh well, lets get another! Didn't take long and we saw them on top and Sami had him on the plug! What a strike! 50 min. later we were measureing the fish at 81 in. Two make a long story short we caught 2 more on the jig and broke one off. Another great day for SALTYWATER TACKLE guys! Going again on Monday, so stay tuned!
FISHING REPORT
Guys, Here it is to the best of my knowledge. We went fishing on Friday, the only boat out and this is a little difficult in that you can't cover alot of ground to find fish, but we found the Blackfin in good numbers, but no yellowfin that day. I don't feel that they liked the fast current and no blended water. The good news is the fat ones are showing up! There have been some caught trolling, but not many marks to stop on to jig or pop. Things are looking good for our up coming Bluefin fishery. We now have hoody sweatshirts 4 sale on the boat along with our tee's.
Jan 1 2012 FISH KILL!
OH what a day we had today on the SEA BREEZE! We started out our day with two nice yellowfin and then some more and then a 34lb Wahoo! It gets better! We hook 3 more tuna and one is being eaten by a nice Mako! Half the tuna was gone and I told George to stick the tuna and he thought I said the shark! Well he free gaffed the shark and he weighed 85lbs, something going on! After this we finished our limit of yellowfin around noon and had a great ride home. Bet your first day of the year wasn't that exciting! Can't wait to get back out!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Hope everyone is having a nice Christmas with their families. We had a great meal and visit at my brother-in-law's home yesterday and was really happy to have my father with us to enjoy the good time. He is doing well, that alone makes my Christmas. We all miss our mother and I know that she will be in our thoughts this day, as she loved Christmas so much. Anyway, See if you know who the Santa is in the pic. Will be fishing this week and will post results

I was playing Santa for the nurseing home in Waverly, so I missed out on it, but it makes me feel good to see the residents with a smile! We will be back in action in a week and ready to catch whatever is biteing, from Striper to gaint Bluefin!

We are trolling and jigging and popping for them again this year. 2011 was a great year for us and we look forward to 2012.
I GOTA SORE KNEE!
Yep, Dr. Warren did a little more work on my knee yesterday, he found some more damage and hopefully fixed it. Im here on the farm recovering with nurse penny doing a great job. I hope to be going strong in a couple weeks. The guys got out yesterday and caught some yellowfins. Thanks for the calls and cards after my mother's passing last week, she meant alot to so many people and I miss her so much.
SEA BREEZE NEWS
We had the service for my mother yesterday and we are atill at the farm with my father. I have another doctor appt. on Friday to see if he can fix my knee. Until he does Capt. Tony Tillett of the Carolinian will be running the boat. I won't be more than thru the end of November. I will still be on the Sea Breeze after that. Tony Sold the Carolinian and needed a nice boat to take his charters and I need a little time to take care of my farther and get healthy. Call me at home for bookings or my cell number. We will be ready to put the meat on the ice before you know it!
MY MOTHER
My mother passed today after a long illness. She was the best mother that anyone could ask for and I will miss her everyday of my life. She and my father were a fixture around the docks in the summer and everyone loved her home cooking. Don't let a day go buy without telling them you love them, you never know if it's their last day. Anyway she is with the lord and watching over us. One day I will see her again.
