Big Jack
If you are looking for a great way to test your
angling skills, as well as your tackle, the Charleston Harbor has
something for you. Each summer the very large and hard-fighting Jack
Cravelle invade our harbor. These monsters usually swim in schools
and can reek havoc on the tackle of an unsuspecting angler. More
than one fisherman has told the story of casting for Trout around
Castle Pinckney just before dark only to have a very large Jack run
every bit of line off of their reel and snap it like spaghetti. I
have spoken with other fishermen who were able to realize what was
going on before one of the above scenarios, only to fight the fish
for hours on end.

Catch Lands Tennessee Angler New
State Record For Blacktip Shark
The marine game fish record for a blacktip shark was recently
dismantled by a visiting angler from the Volunteer State.
Daniel Rowe of Gray, Tenn., caught a 163-pound, 14-ounce blacktip
shark on June 6 in Port Royal Sound to claim the new state record,
beating the old record, which was set back in 1968 by angler Bruce
Weldon of Beaufort, by more than 30 pounds.
Rowe, 35, was experiencing his first-ever saltwater fishing trip
with owner and charter boat captain Reese "Chip" Michalove of
"Outcast" Charters, aboard his twin outboard 26-foot Glacier Bay
Catamaran. Rowe was also enjoying the days fishing with his good
friend and fellow thrill seeker Brain Glover of Johnson City, Tenn.
The record fish was a fighter, and it took Rowe about 45 minutes to
land the big fish, using a 7-foot Ugly Stick rod paired with a
Shimano reel and barracuda for bait. Michalove knew this was the
largest blacktip he had ever seen in his many years of fishing, and
decided to weigh the shark at Benny Hudson Seafood on Hilton Head
Island. The new state record shark was verified by Katie Hart and Al
Stokes, biologists with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources
(DNR).

Cobia State Record
Claimed By Hilton Head Island Angler
The marine game fish record for cobia, standing for
five years, was recently claimed by an angler participating in the
24th annual edition of the Hilton Head Island Food & Beverage
Fishing Tournament.
Robby Maroudas of Hilton Head Island was fishing just
offshore on the Betsy Ross artificial reef in 90 feet of water when
he hooked into and caught the 92-pound, 10-ounce cobia on May 26 to
claim the new state record.
Maroudas, 34, headed out of Palmetto Bay Marina on
Hilton Head Island aboard his vessel "Tuna Hut" with crew ready to
win the Hilton Head Island Food & Beverage Cobia Tournament. Little
did he know he would in fact win the "Main Event" award but also SET
a new state record for cobia in South Carolina. Anchored just 20
miles offshore on the "Subway Cars," a popular structure added to
the Betsy Ross Artificial Reef, the boat crew, using live menhaden
for bait, landed a 46.1-pound cobia early in the day. Around 1 p.m.
they had two quick hits to their rods and moments later the big fish
took the bait. Maroudas grabbed the Crowder 6-foot rod paired with a
Penn Torque 300 conventional reel and had the fish to the surface in
a matter of minutes. The crew took one look at the massive fish,
pulled anchor, and headed back home to ensure they would arrive
safely at the scales within the set time limit. Karl Brenkert,
biologist with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR),
certified the catch and weight of the big cobia.

Atlantic - Final 2009
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Quota Specifications and Effort Controls
NOAA has published a final rule to establish 2009 fishing
year specifications for the Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery, including
quotas for each of the domestic fishing categories and effort
controls for the General category and Angling category. This rule
implements an overall quota reduction that was adopted at the
November 2008 meeting of the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, the international body that manages
tuna, swordfish and other highly migratory species in the Atlantic
Ocean.
The final rule sets a recreational daily catch limit of one
school bluefin tuna, plus one large school/small medium bluefin per
vessel. This is the same recreational daily catch limit that was
implemented during the 2008 season. NOAA had originally proposed a
daily limit of one for the 2009 season, but raised the limit to two
per day after reviewing comments from the fishing industry and
analyzing the change for consistency with the bluefin tuna
rebuilding program. The final rule maintains the three-bluefin per
day limit for commercial fishermen in the general category.

The Final Word |
Fishing
this past week has been really good. Offshore was a little
hit and miss, but there were still some really nice dolphin
and wahoo caught and several blue marlin and sailfish caught
as well. If you are heading offshore, don’t be afraid to
drop lines in 120-130’ of water to start trolling. There are
plenty of fish being caught inside the ledge. Closer to
shore the king mackerel bite is picking up and the spadefish
are on the artificial reefs. Inshore the redfish, trout and
flounder fishing is in full swing and Spanish mackerel are
being caught around the harbor and jetties. Sheepshead
fishing is also good around just about all of the docks and
jetties. This weekend is looking like it may be a good one,
we’ll just have to wait and see.
Tight
lines…
