7/21 Tiger Tues & Stan Jr, Elaine B II day, Sailing Weds.

      The weather man was WRONG again with the forecast although the marine weather was right with the strong south winds, but no rain during the trip. Maybe Stan Jr was looking down on his group with the 5th annual Stan Zagleski Jr memorial fishing trip. Therefore we could not fish the ocean so we made due in the bay, BIG time. Picking away at short fluke and a keeper on the first two drifts, we then decided to try another area with intel from a friend that paid off. It was small area but held a lot of fish. Turned out to be one of the best trips of the year as Maria who accompanied her husband Jimmy for her first party boat trip, got the first keeper and eventually her limit and the pool fish. Beginners luck ? Charles and Charlie were both tied with high hook of 4 ORL , Several with their 3 fish limit, like " 89 yr old Poppy" back again form yesterday, along with some 2s and singles. And yes sailing tomorrow, Weds for our two half day trips @ 8 AM and 1:30 PM. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics, too many I told Mike.

 

 

7/20 Just another manic Monday, Sailing tomorrow, Tues

      A couple of boats had marathons but for some reason the people showed up and we had a nice big group of mostly regulars including 89 yr old "poppy". Beautiful day on the water and the people fished hard and were rewarded. Good action with the short fluke and good amount of keepers in the mix, unfortunately we missed a few at the net when we got there too late. Keep the line tight by swimming the fish in a circle without lifting it's head out of the water and you will have a better chance of getting it netted and into the boat. We fished sticky bottom so a stiffer rod helps to bounce it out, can't do it with a noodle rod, although you may like using it. Be prepared to lose rigs and have some tied up to save time. We are sailing tomorrow, Tues, despite the forecast, as we have people coming down. Thanks for looking in and here are  pics of some of the keepers. 

 

 

Sat/Sun 4/18 & 19, 10 lbs of fluke

     We only made the morning trip on Sat with the weather coming in. Picked at the short fluke and sea bass with a couple keepers mixed in as it got a little rolly. Cigar Joe Ivan shined as he put a 6.11 lb beauty in the boat along with a 4.25 lber. The big fish put him in lead for the month and year pools, there are still bigger ones to be caught. The winds kicked up again on Sunday morning that made it a little uncomfortable and the drift fast. Still managed a few keeper fluke and sea bass along with the shorts. Much better in the  afternoon as the wind died down and the action was better boating a bunch of keeper fluke along with the shorts. Brian, who just got bumped out of the big pools by Joe,  was leading the daily pool until a 5.5lber took him out, again. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics.

 

Thurs/ Fri 7/16 & 17 Fluke reports, Sat afternoon not looking good

    We have had plenty of short fluke action but not a lot of keepers the last couple of days. However the are some nice black sea bass in the mix but unfortunately you can only keep one. We have to fish some sticky bottom so bring some stiffer rods so you can bounced out the rigs. If you don't know how please feel free to ask the mates to help you, they are there for you, and remember them at the end of the trip. We can catch plenty of short fluke off the sticky bottom but the keepers are in the rocks. We will be sailing tomorrow morning but probably not the afternoon with the storms coming in. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics.
