Weds 10/7 Fishing report and schedule

      It was a very nice day on the water with light winds and calm seas. The wind is a big factor in this fishing as a boat can go to more spots not having to anchor and usually catch more fish. We caught on most of the spots but again mostly short sea bass with a couple of small porgies and small blackfish and some keeper sea bass. A lot of work for not a lot of keepers but at least the action was good with a high hook of 4 or 5 on down to just shorts. We did not try to sail today with the wind forecast but back at it Friday and Sat, not sure about Sunday yet. We are down to only one morning trip a day, 8 AM - 2, no afternoons. Staying with the bottom fishing on a limited schedule until enough Stripers show up to catch during the day. Thanks for looking in and don't be afraid to call if not sure of the schedule. Here are pics of some of the keepers. 

 

 

 

Sat 10/2 Sea bass report - next trip Weds 10/7

     We ended up cancelling today's trip with the wind blowing from the NE. On Sat we picked away at the fish, all sea bass but mostly shorts,  with some getting a few  to take home but at least the action was good. Tomorrows weather does not sound good so we will hold off sailing till Weds. hoping the stripers show up soon for day time fishing. Thanks for looking in and here are a few pics of some of the keepers. 

 

Weds 9/30 update - Sailing Fri and Sat 10/1 & 2 for Sea bass & ?

            The storm has passed and the ocean is nice so we will sail a couple of days, just  Fri and Sat, bottom fishing for sea bass and whatever else bites. The reports are not good with too many shorts but some keepers mixed in, sounds like fluking. There was a report of some stripers showing up yesterday so if you want to bring an extra spin rod and shads or jigs we may  take a stab at them if  they show but NOT targeting them. Thanks for looking in and hope to see you on the boat.

Monday 9/21 Last fluke report - the end till further notice

      We decided last minute to run a half day trip on Monday with the calls I was getting. I knew it would not be that nice but it was nicer than Saturday, no open boats sailed on Sunday. Caught a keeper fluke and a couple of shorts on the first two drifts waiting for the current to slow down. Went to where we caught them on Sat and picked but not as good as it was on Sat. Andy had the hot hand getting his limit plus one in keeper fluke, Jamie got his two, one was 3.9 only to be beat out by a 4.2lb fish, and there were a few other singles around the boat along with the shorts and small sea bass. I was satisfied with the catch, not knowing what to expect. With the strong north east winds this week I do not think anyone will be sailing until next week, at least we will not be until further notice. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics. 

 

Sunday 9/20 update Sailing tomorrow Monday 9/21 half day, maybe the last fluke trip

    We decided to try again tomorrow morning with the calls i got,  but only a half day trip with  the winds and being restricted to the bay. It may be our last fluke trip and hope we can repeat yesterday but it won't be easy. The rest of the week does not look good weather wise so we may not be sailing until the following week. Thanks for looking in and hope to  see you in the morning.

Sat 9/20 Made up for yesterday - nice surprise

    I knew we could not fish where we wanted to so decided to do a half day trip this morning and was hoping just to get a  few keeper fluke and some short action. The seas were not nice but we banged out  more than quadruple of what I expected in keepers. Donata got her limit early and Bill also got his 3 fish limit. Quite a few doubles around including for the guy who caught the pool fish of 6 lbs, also the singles and shorts that we caught. What a nice surprise although there were a few under the weather with the seas. It was a good way to end the fluke season if we can't get out again. Not sailing tomorrow, Sunday, with the rain and wind, not sure about Monday yet but the rest of the week looks bad. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics of most of the keeper fluke.

 

 

Fri 9/18 Not like yesterday, will try going out tomorrow

     We got out with another decent gang and went back to where we had some fish yesterday but there was an undertow and it was tough to hold bottom. Tried where we had a few fish the day before but only caught a couple of keeper fluke and shorts. Ended up going farther south to get out of the current and had a decent pick of short fluke and  sea bass but only few keepers. Jay took the pool with his nice keeper. We will try again tomorrow, see how bad the wind is, and go from there. The next few days after that do not look good. Thanks for looking in and here are a few pics.

 

Thurs 9/17 Better day with quality keepers

     After a tough day yesterday where we had to work hard to put a few keeper fluke in the boat, did not know what to expect. It was not looking good after the first two drifts so I tried something else and found a patch of fish that we could work over. Put some nice keeper fluke in the boat along with shorts and some sea bass, both keepers and shorts. Jimmy caught his limit including the pool fish of over 4 lbs on one drift. Back at it in the  morning and keep an eye on the weather as Sunday on does not look good, maybe even Sunday. Unfortunately not everyone can catch a keeper or two and go home with a bag of "meat", rules are rules. Here are some pics of people who caught their own keepers, kudos to Mike who takes great pics. Thanks for looking in and check with me on the schedule with the weather.
