May 24 Put lines in N of the point and in no time everything was hit. After resetting the spread we got hit again. When the smoke cleared we had a dozen tuna in the first hour. After that early bite we picked a tuna here and a dolphin there for a total of 14 tuna and 6 gaffer dolphin.

These guys picked the right day to fish. All those marks we saw on the fishfinder the day before came alive. The catch included some big gaffer dolphin, nice yellowfin tuna, and congrats to Rob on catching his first ever blue marlin and our first of the year. Great day for Byron Green, Rob Keenan, Guy Mahanes, Tommy Deans, and Johnny Pauls.

A PARAMOUNT EXPERIENCE

by Paul Horowitzddd

I sailed with Captain Francis Bogan on the Paramount yesterday. The trip lasted from 6:30 a.m. when we departed until 5:00 p.m. when we docked. The trip was touted as a "Sea bass Marathon." That is exactly what it was.

A "stop" is when a bottom fishing boat hovers over a productive looking piece of aquatic real estate so that the anglers on board get a chance to "pick" the rocks, wreck, or whatever the structure is.

Oh yes. Check out this nice catch made by Dan McLeod, Don McLeod, Don Neilson, Lon Wolbler, and Mark Gimmi. Look closely at the picture and you will see we also fed a hungry shark.

The OI fleet enjoyed a great day of fishing. Plus a couple more marlin were caught too. By the way Don of Heathsville VA remembered the bring Capt Danny some Northern Neck Ginger Ale. Love that stuff.

BLACK MAGIC REPORT

SUNDAY 5/19

We fished Sunday the 19th. With poor reports of not so good fishing on Saturday, we were hoping to be able to put a couple of fish on deck at least. We were greeted with Rain and not so favorable sea conditions. We were unable to find any bunker so we put it on a troll. We had to work hard for the 7 bites we got.

As I'm on Tony Maja Prostaff, we troll with Maja spoons exclusively.  The better fishing has yet to come and I think it's gonna be real soon.   We still have Memorial Day open and some prime dates during the...
