Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know tuna fishing anywhere from Tuna Ridge to the Butterfish Hole with live mackerel and squid as well as the troll has been producing. Bluefin along with yellowfin are both in the mix with the bluefin as close as 25 miles off the beach. The eel bite near Block for stripers has been excellent after dark. He’s been weighing 6 to 8-pound fluke on the regular also from Cartwright.

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know a 109-pound yellowfin came into the marina from Out There caught by Bryan Lotufo and captained by Joe Tantillo. John Levit also had some yellows to 96 pounds. The large yellows were caught in the Canyon on the troll. John on the Windy had an estimated 500-pound bluefin and was released. Lights Out had also weighed in a 22-pound mahi that took first for the Tri-State tournament. The winner of the largest in tuna category for the event was team Reel Savage with a 244.6-pound bigeye. Inshore, fluke has been solid at Cartwright, south of the point according to the marina.

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know shark fishing is phenomenal for those trying. Journey released a 444-pound mako on Tuesday and then had a 350-pound thresher right after. A 530-pound thresher also came into the club over the weekend. The sharks are only about 8 miles south of the point. Tuna fishing continue to be far off the beach and more inshore, bluefish are thick around the point with stripers right under them. Fluking is much improved and it’s not too hard to get a limit. Mike “watched fluke fishermen cutting them at the table all week.” Sea bassing and porgy fishing continues to be outstanding south of the point on the rocky bottom.
