2 Blue Marlin, 3 White Marlin 9/7/13

The Virginia Marlin bite is going strong. We took the Healthy Grin to the Triple 0s yesterday. The bite is great at the Norfolk Canyon but it was a better ride running a bit south. It did not matter, marlin seem to be everywhere. We did not do well with the white marlin, catching “only” 3. Many boats were in double digits. We had plenty of shots but only held onto the 3. We made up for it by going 2 for 2 on blue marlin: 300 pound class fish. In addition to the 2 blue marlin and 3 white marlin, we also caught some dolphin. Many boats spent the night out there last night so there should be some impressive catches coming in today. We would have stayed out there also but I had to come in as I have to drive up to the NMFS Highly Migratory Species Advisory Panel meeting today.
