Weds 9/18 The best part of today - not sailing until Sat 9/21

     We barely made it out this morning with just enough and the fishing was not good, picked at some shorts here and there. Not terrible weather but the ocean was still riled up. Best part of this morning was we got to see the USS New Jersey Submarine leave the port of Earl ammunition pier. Therefore we WILL NOT be sailing until Sat 9/21 and hope conditions change. Thanks for looking in and see you soon on the dock. Any reservation on coming down just give me a  call.

Mon Tues 915 & 16 Getting tougher but ... Sailing Weds AM only

     With the E and NE winds there is still a  big roll on the ocean and there is not much left in the calmer waters. However, today in the roll Rick boated a beauty @ 6 lbs. Few other keepers along with some short fluke,  but not good. Same thing yesterday only a couple of keeper fluke and some shorts along with the other fish. We will try to go out tomorrow morning but not the afternoon. Probably the same on Thursday and will see what Friday brings if the weatherman can get it right. Maybe its me but seems they are wrong more than right so I cant figure a schedule. Call me if you are not sure. Thanks for looking in and here are a few pics.

Wekend report 9/14 & 15 Slowed up

    The fishing(catching) over the weekend was not impressive, think the roll got to them. Not as many keeper fluke and less shot action bu;t still managed a few each trip. Sat AM t;he groom of a small group of guys celebrating him getting married actually took the pool also. On the afternoon trip we were slammed with people that we did not expect bu;t former mate Braedon's little son took the pool honors as did Frank on Sunday's AM trip. Back at it today, Monday and tomorrow, but not sure about Weds to Friday with the rain coming. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics.

Friday the 13th Fluking

    Another nice day but there was a roll from an offshore storm but was not rough. Very little wind that was against the tide so the drift was slow, as was the picking. But we did manage to put a little catch together with Gary taking the pool with one of his 2 keeper fluke and few others around the boat along with the short fluke. On the afternoon trip the breeze came up with the tide and we had a better drift and pick. More keeper fluke and more action. Tony tied for the pool, that was almost a 3 way tie. Last day for fluke is Sept 25 and we will not be sailing the two days after that, Thurs and Fri. Check the web site for schedule and species after that. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics.

Weds/ Thurs 9/11 & 12 May we never forget and good fishing.

    I did not do a report on Weds as we went to see the lights for the 911 memorial, may we NEVER forget, our hearts go out to the families of the fallen. The fishing was ok on Weds but we are seeing less action with the shorts but al least putting some keeper fluke on the boat. Thurs was better yet and we also had a few keeper porgies, that are steeling our baits. Double digits of keeper fluke on both trips with the afternoon being better. Teacher Ed got his 3 fish limit, 2 on the first drift, and painter Cathy got 2, but trying to make the board, as did a couple of others. On the morning tip Ken (red sweatshirt) took the pool with one of his 2keeper fluke as we picked slower because of a slower drift but ended up ok. Nice weather until about Weds so try to come out on these beautiful Sept. days. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics from Thurs afternoon first on back, unfortunately some of Weds AM pics did not come out.

9/10 Better AM than PM

    On Tues, the morning was about the same as Monday as far as the amount of keepers but we did have one limit by Mike, another with 2 keeper fluke but Randy took the pool. BTW the limit was caught on a single bait on a plain rig without all the garbage. On the afternoon trip there was very little wind and current until late so we picked slowly and ended up with less than the morning and a lot less than Monday afternoon. Did get a surprise fish, a trigger fish,  and the guy also caught 2 keepers including the pool. Gene just missed the pool after getting his first keeper in a few trips and going thru 30 shorts over those trips. Todd also got 2 keeper fluke. Still sailing 2 trips every day until end of the Fluke season, 9/25. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics.

Monday 9/9 ok AM good PM with limits

    The morning was like yesterday with wind against the tide so it was not a straight drift but with not many people it was not a big problem. Picked at some short fluke and a few keepers with a high hook of 2 on a cool morning, hoodies on. On the afternoon trip we did not have a big gang but things came together when we found a new area of fish that wanted to chew so it was game on. Ended up with 3 limits (3), Bob O, Paul G, another guy, and some with 2 and one keepers, of course some only caught shorts, but it was nice action. Still sailing two trips everyday until the end of the fluke season, then a break and one trip daily after that. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics with afternoon ones first.
