Video Release "WMO Last Day"The final day of the White Marlin Open in Ocean City Maryland. The fish gods were brutal today while fighting an eyeball on a tld. A day at sea searching for a $1,500,000 white marlin. I guess if every trip went as good as the last it would be called "catching", not "Fishing". Always an energetic crew while fishing the Moore Bills. This vid tells the story of a beautiful day offshore battling other huge sport fishers for the $ fish! Enjoy the antics of our crew and the events of this final tournament day.

August 9 : WMO
Locked and loaded, the Moore Bills tournament team headed offshore for the last day of the White Marlin Open. Skirting around the remaining boats in the game, the Moore Bills had eyes set on landing big whitey for the pot of gold. A mid day a flourish of big eye tuna jumped at least 4 boats in the area. The scaled down tackle of the day was no match for the big eyes as anglers fought up to 2 hrs with straightened hooks and snapped lines. A valiant effort by heavy hitter Luke Reeder was made but with a crushing blow at the end of the fight. Moore Bills boated a Mahi earlier that day and and had some action in the spread but returned ashore with heads healed high to congratulate the weeks contenders. Video Coming Soon |

VIDEO RELESE "Pilot Whales"
Pilot whales are among the largest of the oceanic dolphins, exceeded in size only by the killer whale. They and other large members of the dolphin family are also known as blackfish.
Pilot whales are primarily squid eaters, but will feed on fish, as well. They are also highly social, and studies suggest that both males and females remain in their mothers' pods, an unusual trait among mammals, also found in certain killer whale communities. Short-finned pilot whales are also one of the few mammal species where females go through menopause, and postreproductive females may contribute to the survival of younger members of their pods. Pilot whales are notorious for stranding themselves on beaches, and are among the most common cetacean stranders. Several theories have been proposed to account for this behavior. The status of both species is not understood, and they have been subject to direct and indirect catches by fisheries. Whalers in a few countries continue to hunt pilot whales. |

Ocean City Maryland: Worlds Largest Billfish Tournament begins!
An early rise for the Moore Bills and 202 other boats participating or the first day of the White Marlin Open. An exciting exit to the atlantic as hundreds of onlookers crowd the north jetty cheering on the early morning anglers. Incredible sunrise leads to an unexpected slow day for most anglers in the tournament. Lucky boats of the day pick up some tuna, dolphin as well as one shark as of 8:30pm. White and blue marlin are yet to qualify in the weigh ins. The Moore Bills had a couple knockdowns, blues under the boat and a pretty white following the boat like a stray dog that would not take food from a stranger! A Mahi was boated early in the day but anglers have hearts set on tomorrow mornings chances at the infamous white marlin. Stay tuned for more details and video! |

Monday July 29:
Moore Bills Fishing Report: July 29 Another steller day on the Moore Bills. Traveled around some epic lightning storms early morning to land in the Washington Canyon for the early bite. With a lone spreader bar and big boy green stick in action we landed a healthy white marlin within the first 10 minuets of trolling. The action came almost too soon to excite the young crew nursing last nights misadventures on land. The day continued with non stop action! Estimated over 60 Yellowfin with a couple skippies in the mix. The crew was in constant motion all day. Anglers were in full participation with direction from Captain Rob and 1st mate Steve. First time gaffers and first time offshore ladies played part in an exciting day laying tracks throughout the canyon many miles from the land of funnel cake and parking meters. Once outside ( About 60 Miles), life was abundant, pilot wales were feeding and swimming around the boat every second of the day (no exaggeration !!!) . For the first timers and the experienced anglers it was a show not to be matched by any documentary! The green stick provided a days worth of entertainment and worked the overworked throughout the day. Resetting lines and drilling in on the fish, Captain Rob and Steve proved there weight in fish and experience. Anglers watched the action as tuna boiled and hit the rigs over and over. Lines peeled off, anglers danced a clumbsy waltz ducking and switching places like a game of deep sea leap frog. 1st mate Captain Steve was the ref and worked the crew like a well oiled machine as head honcho Captain Rob rolled forward with a mission. Anglers rotated through each cover up and chilled in the AC when it was time to tag off . A highlight of the day provided a blue Marlin arial show as it attacked one of our unlucky yellowfin. Estimated around 400 lb the big blue charged the already hooked tuna and than took flight! All in all another high energy day on the Moore Bills.

Full Day Pull!Moore Bills Saturday June 1, 2013: After a long ride earlier this week, we switched gears and made our way a bit closer in for same shark action. Arms and backs got a workout today as we brought 14 Blu Shark to the boat and kept a nice sized Mako shark.
OCEAN CITY FISHING REPORT: Today was an exciting day at the fishing center that was full of a variety of shark species! Captain Mark Sampson on the "Fish Finder" had the heaviest mako today weighing in at 189 pounds. High hook went to Captain Rob Skillman on the "Moore Bills" who reported 14 blue shark releases and returned with a mako. Another fantastic day of shark filled fishing was had on the "Blood Sweat and Tears" with Captain Jeremy Blunt who reported releasing 2 makos, 2 blue sharks, and a hammerhead. The "Reel Attitude" with Captain Mark Deimler also had a good day of fishing and reported releasing a few makos and blue sharks. Yet another mako was released on the "Bill$ 4 Bills" with Captian Mike Conner. Our private boats also had a great deal of luck today. Captain Ron Bortnick on the "Lady J" returned with a substantial sized mako weighing in at 112 pounds. Aboard the "Out-rea-geous" another private boat Captain Rea Roy landed a 217 pound thresher shark. A 118 pound mako was also boated on the "Lunasea" with Captain Larry Dougherty at the helm. While shark fishing has really picked up, the bay fishing continues to improve as well! Captian Cale Layton on the bay fishing headboat the "Bay Bee" had a good day of flounder fishing with 3 keepers on his morning trip and 2 keepers in the afternoon all accompanied by throwbacks. Overall the fishing is hot right now! Don't miss your opportunity to fish with Ocean City's Premier Charter Fleet today!!! |

Knocking the dust off!Moore Bills Friday May 31, 2013: Moore Bills took this years maiden voyage well past the canyons to do some recon for the season. Tons of life including Pilot whales and porpoise. Offshore weather was perfect compared to the last week of violent winds. 2 yellowfin tuna made there way to our lines and one keeper made a tasty but expensive diner! Looks like the warm water is working it way towards Ocean City but for now its time to switch gears back to Sharking!
