WGMD Fishing Report 8-10-18

Friday was the final day of the White Marlin Open and once again I was a guest aboard the Toast with Captain Brian Ciscoski and owner Ron Martin.

We were away from the dock at 4:30 AM and in the area of the Washington Canyon by 8:00.  Lines went in at 8:30, but unlike Tuesday we didn’t get the first white marlin until later in the morning.  We ended the day with three white marlin releases to finish 24^th with 490 points.

Meanwhile back at the weigh in the Weldor’s Ark with angler Pasqual Jimenez brought in an 83-pound white marlin to tie with the Under Dog, but I suppose the Weldor’s Ark must have been in more levels because they were awarded the top prize of $2,584,260.  The Under Dog won $129,784 and third place went to Lights Out with Bill Haugland and was worth $85,804.

The Auspicious won $924,936 in the Blue Marlin Category with their 881 pounder
