33wwwOnTheRipMagazinecom 2012 ON THE RIP

We all know that when the weather finally breaks in spring we tend to start getting over-anxious for our offshore fishing season to begin After that first sunny 60 degree day the fever begins to take hold But when we started experiencing 70 degree weather in February this year it made the waiting that much worse But now itrsquos time

We always kick off the year in June with our annual Shark Tournament The big news for this year is that we dropped the Blue Shark Points division and made it strictly a Mako Points category along with reallocating a portion of the money for the tournament prize of Heaviest Blue Shark to the Daily Heaviest Mako categories Wersquove also added a new Calcutta for boats 35 feet and under where 60 of the pot will go to the Heaviest Mako and 40 to Heaviest Shark Plus special promotions and incentives are in the works for boats equipped with selected outboard power but more on that later The dates this year are June 7-10 and being the premier shark tournament in NJ it never ceases to be a fun exciting and lucrative event for competitive shark anglers

July brings us two events The 23rd Annual VikingOcean Showdown (July 11-15) where owners from those two manu-facturers go head to head for bragging rights and a completely new event for the competitive fisherman the South Jersey On the Meat Overnighter

The On the Meat Overnighter will be taking place July 20-22 and has been designed for anglers who want to have a fun night out on the water save on fuel catch some meat and win some cash The best part of this event is the fact that you can overnight with several other boats at the same time and enjoy the many fun aspects of overnight fishing (If yoursquove never overnighted before this is the ideal opportunity to give it a go) All the prize money is in the Calcuttas so you can pick and choose to participate at any financial level you wish With all the hallmark ingredients for a fun competitive night out on the rip yoursquoll want to be here for this one

The third week in August is reserved for the Mid-Atlantic $500000 boat for boat the richest marlin and tuna tourna-ment in the world Dates for 2012 are August 19-24 and plans are on track for making this the best year yet You can fish from Cape May NJ or Ocean City MD with a fish 3 out of 5 day format and a weigh-in at each port No hurricanes rough seas or evacuations this year just great fishing a huge purse and six days of fun As always it will be a great time and the one event of the summer that you donrsquot want to miss

An UnUsUAl toUrnAment seAsonby Bob Glover

When was the last time we had an outstanding yellowfin bite during the first two weeks of June

We ask that question because that particicular tuna bite set the stage for the most unusual tourna-ment season wersquove ever seen here in Cape May

Bizarre is the only way to describe the water tem-peratures during our 31st Annual Shark Tournament In the 30 plus years of running this event we canrsquot remember warm water like that Itrsquos run in the same time frame every year and wersquore usually right on the meat All of that early warm water certainly confused things especially the fish So much so that some die-hard sharkers skipped the event to chase the tuna

Participants did manage to get into some Makos but the Threshers and Blues that we always get were elusive

Anglers hopes were high going into day one despite the warm water and ev-eryone left the dock excited At the end of the day only two Makos qualified and would end up holding first and second going into day two A third place fish hit the scale on Saturday and all three would end up with a paycheck later that night at the awards

We do think everyone had a good time despite the abnormal temperatures (Fishing for makos in 73 degree water- Are you kidding me) There were some Blue and Brown shark releases and several large Ti-gers let go but it certainly would have been a heck

of a lot more fun if the water was at its normal temp for this time of year At least we had some good tuna fishing in the following weeks

The 22nd Annual VikingOcean followed shortly after on Wednesday the 13th of July

After an unscheduled lay day due to high winds offshore on Thursday the fleet of 26 Vikings and 25 Oceans headed to the canyons Friday to do battle At stake Bragging rights The first day of fishing was a bit slow with only 13 whites and a handful of tu-nas (what happened to that bite) and a few dolphins caught Day 2 (Saturday) picked up with considerably

more billfish release action A total of 39 Whites 4 Blues and several more tuna and dolphin contrib-uted to both teams point totals

And later that day at 3pm it was over When every-onersquos catch was to-taled Team Viking emerged as the victor

Later that night the tent was packed for the awards party as everyone turned

out to celebrate mingle and relax John Leek of Ocean Yachts presented the Showdown perpetual trophy to Vikingrsquos Pat Healey and both celebrated with their respective owners after handing out the boat and individual awards

Being a Viking and Ocean Yachts dealer and hav-ing the two factories just up the road really gives us a unique opportunity to get friends and families to-gether and have some great dockside fun and friendly

competition offshore Just having the Healey and Leek familyrsquos bar-b-queue steaks for their customers at the lay day pool party is alone worth the price of admission If yoursquove never fished it consider doing so The whole event is just a fun fun time

Next on the schedule was the 10th Annual Mid-Atlantic Tuna Tournament Our current economic state no doubt contributed to a lower than expected turnout and there were weather problems too An uncertain forecast for the first two days definitely kept a few more participants away despite the fact that we added an

extra fish day I mean really who doesnrsquot like to go tuna fishing But as Friday came around the weather cleared the bite picked up and those that partici-pated did have the opportunity to en-joy themselves (and that is what itrsquos all about) and win some cash

The 20th Annual Mid-Atlantic $500000 was definitely an event that will be remembered Hosting 117 boats between Cape May and Ocean City MD prize money reached $1539130 and the outlook was good for another exciting week of fishing Monday saw most boats taking a lay day as the weath-er were looking much better for Tuesday and Wednesday And it was Thursday and Friday were up in the air as Hur-ricane Irene crept up the coast but the battle was on By the end of weigh-in on Tuesday night (Day 2 of fishing) every category had been filled Three qualify-ing whites three qualifying blues three qualifying tuna and both a dolphin and a wahoo were on the board Changes to some of those categories would come on Wednesday and Thursday When Thursday rolled around Hurricane Irene had been forecast to come right over Cape May sometime on Saturday and mandatory evacuations were being scheduled in both ports It was decided that afternoon that due to the uncer-tainty of the coming storm evacuations road closings and safety issues that the tournament would officially end at 9pm

Tournament Season cont



Thursday evening We were able to get Colton Jamesrsquo Cape May performance in as scheduled and he over-whelmingly rocked the house Mother Nature has a knack for bad timing and everyone was disappointed that she cut us a day short not to mention scaring the bleep out of us with an earthquake earlier in the week But at least she blessed us with a good bite as the fishing results for the four days were nothing short of phenomenal 458 white marlin 21 blue mar-lin and numerous tuna Not a bad week




lets not forget mArlIn month

The billfish bite that we experience in our canyons is no secret Our white marlin bite has always been the best during August and September but over the last three or four years it has been outstanding

The following angling rules have been formulated by the International Game Fish Association to promote ethical and sporting angling practices to establish uniform regulations for the compilation of world game fish records and to provide basic angling guidelines for sue in fishing tournaments and any other group angling activities

The world angling is defined as catching or attempting to catch fish with a rod reel line and hook as outlined in the international angling rules

There are some aspects of angling that cannot be controlled through rule making however Angling regulations cannot insure an outstanding perfor-mance from each fish and world records cannot indicate the amount of dif-ficulty in catching the fish Captures in which the fish has not fought or has not had a chance to fight do not reflect credit on the fisherman and only the angler can properly evaluate the degree of achievement in establishing the record

Only fish caught in accordance with IGFA international angling rules and within the intent of those rules will be considered for world records

Following are the rules for freshwater and saltwater fishing and a separate set of rules for fly fishing

not exceed 8 feet (244 meters) in overall length In using a flying or detachable gaff the rope may not exceed 30 feet (914 meters) The gaff rope must be measured from the point where it is se-cured to the detachable head to the other end Only the effective length will be considered If a fixed head gaff is used the same limitations shall apply and the gaff rope shall be measured from the same location on the gaff hook Only a single hook is permitted on any gaff Harpoon or lance attachments are prohibited Tail ropes are limited to 30 feet (914 meters) (When fish-ing from a bridge pier or other high platform or structure this length limitation does not apply)

4 Entangling devices either with or without a hook are prohibited and may not be used for any purpose including baiting hooking fight-ing or landing the fish

5 Outriggers downriggers spreader bars and kites are permitted to be used provided that the actual fishing line is attached to the snap or oth-er release device either directly or with some other material The leader or double line may not be connected to the release mechanism either directly or with the use of a connecting device Spreader bars are also acceptable when used strictly as a teaser

6 Daisy chains birds floats and similar devices may only be used if they do not unfairly hamper or inhibit the normal swimming or fighting abil-ity of the fish thereby giving the angler or crew an unfair advantage in fighting landing or boat-ing the fish

7 A safety line may be attached to the rod provid-ed that it does not in any way assist the angler in fighting the fish

Angling Regulations1 From the time that a fish strikes or takes a bait

or lure the angler must hook fight and land or boat the fish without the aid of any other per-son except as provided in these regulations

2 If a rod holder is used once the fish is hooked the angler must remove the rod from the rod holder as quickly as possible

3 In the event of a multiple strike on separate lines being fished by a single angler only the first fish fought by the angler will be considered for a world record

4 If a double line is used the intent of the regula-tions is that the fish will be fought on the single line most of the time that it takes to land the fish



5 A harness may be attached to the reel or rod but not to the fighting chair The harness may be replaced or adjusted by a person other than the angler6 Use of a rod belt or waist gimbal is permitted7 When angling from a boat once the leader is brought within the grasp of the mate or the end of the leader is wound to the rod tip more than one person

is permitted to hold the leader Anyone assisting a shore-bound or wading angler must be within a rods length of the angler before touching the leader or netting or gaffing the fish

8 One or more gaffers may be used in addition to persons holding the leader The gaff handle must be in hand when the fish is gaffed9 The angling and equipment regulations shall apply until the fish is weighed

The following acts will disqualify a catch1 Failure to comply with equipment or angling regulations2 The act of persons other than the angler in touching any part of the rod reel or line (including the double line) either bodily or with any device from the

time a fish strikes or takes the bait or lure until the fish is either landed or released or in giving any aid other than that allowed in the rules and regulations If an obstacle to the passage of the line through the rod guides has to be removed from the line then the obstacle (whether chum floatline rub-ber band or other material) shall be held and cut free Under no circumstances should the line be held or touched by anyone other than the angler during this process

3 Resting the rod in a rod holder on the gunwale of the boat or any other object while playing the fish

4 Handlining or using a handline or rope attached in any manner to the anglers line or leader for the purpose of holding or lifting the fish

5 Shooting harpooning or lancing any fish (in-cluding sharks and halibuts) at any stage of the catch

6 Chumming with or using as bait the flesh blood skin or any part of mammals other than hair or pork rind used in lures designed for trolling or casting

7 Using a boat or device to beach or drive a fish into shallow water in order to deprive the fish of its normal ability to swim

8 Changing the rod or reel while the fish is being played

9 Splicing removing or adding to the line while the fish is being played

10 Intentionally foul hooking a fish11 Catching a fish in a manner that the double line

never leaves the rod tip12 Using a size or kind of bait that is illegal to pos-

sess13 Attaching the anglers line or leader to part of a

boat or other object for the purpose of holding or lifting the fish

14 If a fish escapes before gaffing or netting and is recaptured by any method other than as out-lined in the angling rules

The following situations will disqualify a catch1 When a rod breaks (while the fish is being

played) in a manner that reduces the length of the tip below minimum dimensions or severely impairs its angling characteristics

2 Mutilation to the fish prior to landing or boat-ing the catch caused by sharks other fish mam-mals or propellers that remove or penetrate the flesh (Injuries caused by leader or line scratch-es old healed scars or regeneration deformities are not considered to be disqualifying injuries) Any mutilation on the fish must be shown in a photograph and fully explained in a separate report accompanying the record application

Many savvy billfish pros say itrsquos darn likely and working those fish into the feeding zone is the first step in catching a double triple or more ldquoWhen you get the first bite keep fishing and keep looking be-cause where therersquos a single often therersquos more than onerdquo notes Captain Danny Scotti of the Gina Lisa a frequent billfish tournament winner in Cape May and Florida Captain Ryan Higgins of the Viking factory demo another team familiar with the win-nerrsquos podium from Cape May to Flor-ida agrees ldquoThe best op-portunity for a second or third bite is right after that first bite That being said with less experienced crews if you get a bite on the left flat line and everybodyrsquos watching that and not paying attention to the other baits they may not have an angler in position for a second or third biterdquo In this instance using your electronics to full advantage by hitting the Save or MOB button on the GPS to note your position is one step in quickly

getting back to where the first bite occurredOne of the best steps to take to increase your odds

of scoring a multiple hook-up is to simply be readyBoth skippers agree having your crew in position

is critical to scoring multiple releases and each person should know ahead of time where theyrsquoll be when the bite occurs ldquoEveryone is at attention and looking

at the spread c o n s t a n t l y and yoursquore at double atten-tion when you get a biterdquo says Scotti adding each angler should be focused on their bait ldquoFor instance yoursquore not standing next to the flat line yoursquore hold-ing the rod in

your hand yoursquore not watching the line for the lsquorigger bait the rod is in your hand You need to be ready to reactrdquo According to Higgins no rod should ever be left unattended as thatrsquos a sure way to miss a bite ldquoOur crew has an angler at each rod in the spread all day and if someone leaves the cockpit another angler takes his place at the rod immediatelyrdquo

You might compare it to the tip of an iceberg you can see some of it above the water but yoursquore uncertain whatrsquos below the surface When a single billfish shows interest in your troll-ing pattern could there be others out of sight lurking below waiting to pounce on a bait in your spread

f i S h T A L E S


Itrsquos also important to resist the temptation to clear all lines when you get the first bite as the more lines in the water the better your chances of adding to your score ldquoDepending on the conditions when we get a bite the teasers dredges and baits all stay in the water though yoursquoll want to reposition each of them so you donrsquot tangle when you turn on the fishrdquo says Scotti adding what you see will dictate what you do ldquoObvi-ously if you got a look at it and have a 90-pounder on yoursquoll want to change your game plan and focus on one fish instead of working for morerdquo Higgins agrees and adds the tournament format will dictate what he does ldquoIf wersquore in a tournament and need to catch that last one to put us over the hump or if itrsquos based on time of catch to get the daily thatrsquos the only time wersquoll clear lines and go af-ter a singlerdquo That being said Hig-gins and Scotti both adjust their trolling spread when they get a bite to not only avoid a tangle but to also entice additional bites ldquoWersquore watching the teasers and when we hook a fish Irsquom not clearing them but I will pull one of them a little tighter to the boatrdquo says Higgins ldquoIf itrsquos a teaser fish that we get the bite off Irsquoll leave my squid chain out and pull the dredge a little tighter so the guys can free spool baits back without getting tangled in themrdquo Additionally he feels other tactics can be employed as well ldquoWe try to work around the fish that wersquore fighting while still keeping as many baits in the water as possible without risking a tangle If we have a couple on and wersquore go-ing back we may even put a guy on the bow and have him start trolling a bait back or wersquoll even start feeding

the long lsquorigger back I donrsquot know many times wersquove been dead boatinrsquo and wersquod catch one on a bait thatrsquos drifting out of the cliprdquo In the end when it comes to white marlin and sailfish the fish will dictate to what extent lines will need to be cleared ldquoWhen you have an active fish jumping in multiple directions coming at you and going across lines and itrsquos going to turn into a mess in a hurry you may want to clear some of those linesrdquo notes Scotti However both skippers agree when a blue marlin appears in the spread and piles on a lure or bait their philosophy about multiples changes quickly ldquoWhen we hook a blue marlin espe-cially on light-tackle when wersquore fishing for whites itrsquos clear all the lines and go get lsquoem because once that

fish sounds on 30-pound gear yoursquore going to be on it for a long timerdquo notes Higgins Scotti agrees ldquoIf yoursquore blue marlin fish-ing on the bite yoursquore done Yoursquore not look-ing for a second or third fishrdquo

One tactic both Scotti and Higgins find ef-

fective for scoring multiples is turning at the bite Since white marlin and sailfish often travel in pods itrsquos quite possible only one fish from the pod may have shown initial interest in your spread and addi-tional work to get the others to feed may be required Circling back around in the area where the bite oc-curred is a proven tactic many pros utilize ldquoNine out of ten times especially with whites and sails therersquos more than one fish swimming around and when you get a bite itrsquos just a question if yoursquore going to get another bite or notrdquo says Scotti adding electron-ics again come into play ldquoThere might be a pod of

Double Down cont

f i S h T A L E S


fish swimming down at 60 feet and one of them peeled off to eat Yoursquoll see that on the machine sometimes where yoursquoll mark multiple fish but only get bit by one Also you may mark the pod and not get bit at all so you swing back around a second time and not get bit then finally on the third pass one comes up to eat and sometimes that triggers a multiple biterdquo Scotti also feels the direction of the turn is really going to depend on where the fish thatrsquos hooked is going which will allow him to keep the spread out ldquoYou donrsquot want to turn the wrong way If the fish ate the right lsquorigger and if he went off that side in the clear hersquos going to go that way and you need to focus on where hersquos at before making a circle backrdquo Higgins also adds where the bite occurred will dictate which direction he turns and he says you have to be patient ldquoIf I get a bite on the left flat line I turn in that direc-

tion though sometimes with multiples when therersquos a wolf pack and you get three or four on you just go straight back Other times when you have a single on you may do one or two circles around that fish and then get bit again The guys who donrsquot have the patience to do that definitely catch fewer multiplesrdquo Higgins acknowledges other factors will play a role in how aggressive he is with scoring a multiple hook-up ldquoKeep in mind if itrsquos early in the season in Cape May and the best day of the year so far has been catching four or five fish yoursquore just hoping to catch that many In this case you need to pay attention to every bite you get and not worry so much about multiples If itrsquos late in the season and on the big days yoursquore catch-ing 20 or 30 of them you know therersquos a much better shot at a multiple Thatrsquos when Irsquoll work a single bite hard and circle back several times if I have to in order to get additional bitesrdquo

Higgins and Scotti both relayed the best scenario is always to go for the closest fish first though thatrsquos not always possible especially when they are uncoop-erative ldquoWhen they go 180 degrees from each other and you get half a spool of line out on both fish on either side of the boat you canrsquot chase one without spooling the other reel At that point you have to de-pend on the fish settling down and the angler actu-ally reeling the fish in to regain line instead of an easy wind when the boatrsquos in reverse chasing the fish or running it down Keep in mind the more line in the water the more drag on it so you must consider

f i S h T A L E S


easing the drag off a bit to prevent breaking a linerdquo explains Scotti Higgins agrees adding ldquoYou have to be patient when you get split by a multiple Therersquos only so much you can do You sometimes have to just hang tight until one of the fish changes direction and you can go get it You have to be careful when yoursquore

Double Down contmoving away from one fish to get another that you donrsquot break a linerdquo

So whatrsquos more difficult a multiple hook-up of tuna or billfish According to Scotti it depends ldquoWith tu-nas wersquore going to boat the fish whereas with billfish depending on if itrsquos a tournament or not we may be

using up to a 30-foot leader Finishing the job is where it becomes difficult since therersquos a big difference between releasing a white marlin and taking a white marlin Itrsquos a bit more involved to get him the last 30 feet and boat him versus grabbing the leader and getting the releaserdquo says Scotti add-ing the size of the tackle comes in to play as well ldquoAre you picking up 80rsquos or 130rsquos and moving them around the cockpit or did you get the double on 30rsquos you can hold with one hand The tunas are going to be more settled and thatrsquos a matter of learning how to take them in orderrdquo

When multiple billfish appear in the spread whether wersquore fun fishing or going to battle in the Mid-Atlantic $500000 it can be an exciting frus-trating rewarding or heartbreaking sequence of events It takes practice and experience to become proficient though itrsquos unrealistic not to expect to lose a few fish Thatrsquos simply part of the learning curve ldquoCatching mul-tiple fish in a tournament or when fun fishing whether theyrsquore white marlin sailfish or tuna makes or breaks your day You fish eight hours in a day and when fishing is slow you might only see fish once or twice regardless of what species yoursquore fishing forrdquo notes Scotti ldquoYou need to make the best of each opportunityrdquo
