Another decent group today but the weather was not as nice as they predicted, imagine that. Breezy and cool, as we picked at the short fluke with some keepers mixed in. Gary was high hook with 2 keeper fluke, along with shorts, and the pool. We will be sailing tomorrow, Saturday but morning trip only with the rain coming in the afternoon. Same thing on Sunday, mothers day, AM only, as usually nobody shows for the afternoon. Thanks for looking in and here are a few pics.
We were the only boat to shape up and try to go out on Weds and and ended with a dozen so we went. We picked some shorts and a few keeper fluke in several different areas. We did beat the rain until it was time to go in and did not try for the afternoon. Today, Thurs, we went out with a handful and there was a cool breeze but not rain. First couple of drifts we picked a few shorts and some keepers but the bite shut down. Tried a few other areas but not good with very little drift as the wind died off. Back at it tomorrow and hope to see you on the boat. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics, today's first.
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.
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.
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.
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.
