FRIDAY, May 17, 2013
Aaron McAdoo reeled in a 39.5 lb. bluefin tuna while fishing in 66-degree water in 360 fathoms outside the Baltimore Canyon.

Charter boat, "Restless Lady" ventured out to the Baltimore Canyon where anglers released 20 blue sharks.

Reports came in about anglers seeing mako sharks jumping on the backside of the Fingers. They also said they were covered up with bluefish.

The National Marine Fisheries Service is taking two actions regarding the recreational Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) Angling category fishery:

(1) closure of the southern area trophy BFT fishery (73" or greater) effective 11:30 p.m. local time, Thursday, April 4, through the remainder of 2013; and

(2) adjustment of the daily retention limit that applies to the HMS Charter/Headboat category (when fishing recreationally), effective April 4, 2013, from 1 fish measuring 27 to <73" to 1 school BFT (27 to <47”) and 1 large school/small medium BFT (47 to <73”) per vessel.

The recreational daily retention limit that applies to HMS Angling category vessels remains at the default level of 1 school, large school, or small medium BFT (27 to <73”) per vessel.
