Big-game bluewater bite begins

Steaming to the Fish Tails is a safe bet for catching "all the blue sharks you want," says Matt Conti of Snug Harbor Marina.

That's where most of the blue sharks were taken in the Star Island Shark Tournament over the weekend, he said this morning. There were 193 boats competing, and they landed eight mako, two threshers, and 14 blue sharks.

The first tuna reports of the season are coming in, Matt said. Bluefin have been spotted pushing sand eels near Southwest Ledge, and anglers have seen yellowfin near the Fish Tails and west of there.
