Tues 5/5 Happy Cinco de mayo but not like yesterday, Sailing tom AM

     It turned out to be a beautiful day, not like yesterday but with no wind there was very little drift, and I complained yesterday about the winds. Started out where we had a drift and traditionally was always a good early season spot, but not luck. Went to where we caught them yesterday but very little drift and only picked at some shorts. Tried a bunch of other areas with the same results, few here and there but the keepers were hard to find. Mike did get one for the pool. We will be trying to sail tomorrow morning but only the morning trip from 8 AM to 12:30. Thanks for looking in and maybe see you on the boat, I hear the other boats are not going out.

 

 

Mon 5/4 FLUKE time with a good start

       We went out with a decent group of mostly  regulars but had to battle not the greatest of conditions. Did a lot of power drifting to hold an edge, not to give it a drift. A handful of keepers and and nice batch of shorts on the first drift t start the day off.  Travis had his limit by 10:15  and went on to boat another keeper. His buddy John took the pool honors, as Tim and another got 2k with a other single keepers around the boat along with the shorts,  not a lot of action,  but overall a great first early season trip. Back at it tomorrow, which by the way looks very nice, and every day, but check out our schedule. 8 AM  - 2 on M, T, Thurs and Fri.  2 half day trips on Weds and weekends (Sat & Sun), 8 AM - 12:30 and again 1:30 - 6 PM. Thanks for looking in, here are some pics of some of the keepers, and hope to see you on the boat.

 

Sun 5/3 FLUKE time tomororw, Monday 5/4

    It got windy and cold today on the water and to add to the misery, the stripers did not bite. Switching to fluke (summer flounder) on Monday 5/4 as that when the season opens at the same size limits of 3 @ 18" pp. All of our trips will leave at 8 AM,  on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri we will do a 6 hr trip from 8 -2.  On Weds, Sat & Sun two half day trips from 8 AM - 12:30 and again @ 1:30 - 6 PM. Thanks for looking in and here is a fluke pic from last year.

 

 

Fri/Sat 5/1 & 2 A few but not enough

    Went out the last two days with only a small groups. Managed a few in the morning even though it was a half day trip on Friday. Today it was even tougher but we did get a pool fish. And we a lot of searching. Back at it tomorrow for our last striped bass trip as we will switch to FLUKE on Monday & everyday after sailing 8 AM - 2 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. On Weds and weekends(Sat & Sun) we will do our 2 half day trips, 8 AM - 12:30 and 1:30 to 6. Thanks for looking in and here are a few pics. 

 

Mon/Tues 4/27 & 28 From 0 to semi Hero

     On Monday, a beautiful day on the water, we went from Sea Bright to round shoals Staten Island, river to back bay, and all for nothing with only a handful of fishermen. Today we started in the river and than took a long ride but it paid off as Jamie led the pack with 2 overs, two keepers and the pool. A couple other keepers, overs and a short, but it was action. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics. Don't forget our half day special on Friday, 7:30 to 12 and switching to Fluke on Monday, 5/4 leaving @ 8 AM to 2. 

 

Update to Sun 4/26 and rest of Friday's report

We did not try to go out over the weekend with the rain and easterly winds, BUT we will be sailing tomorrow, Monday. On Friday we did boat a few keeper stripers with Gary nailing 2  and Steve won the pool with an over. Thanks for looking in and here are a few pics. Fishing for stripers until May 4, opening day of fluke on a slightly different schedule. 

 

Fri 4/24 Not sailng tomorrow, Sat, maybe not Sunday either

    Went out with  a small group and had a tough time like the rest of the boats until late in the day. Therefore, with the forecast,  we will not be going out tomorrow and maybe not Sunday. Will post pics and the report  tomorrow. Thanks for looking in.
