Sunday 6/12 conditons and please listen

     We got out this morning with a nice group but knew the conditions would not last. Made a long first drift picking at shorts and keepers but it was hard to hold bottom.  Ended up in the bay by the Navy pier with all the other boats and did manage to get a couple of drifts in picking at shorts and a couple of keepers. Had calls for the afternoon and tried to deter the them coming down but still some showed up. Went out with a small group and had to stay close to the dock with the winds.  Only a few keepers and some shorts were boated so if if you are not sure about the weather please call and listen to what I tell you. I want you to have a good trip, but do not bad mouth me if I tell you to pick another day and you come any way. Here are a few pics and thanks for looking in.

Saturday 6/11 Conditions !

      Like I always say, conditions make all the difference in the world.  We went out on the morning trip to find no drift but did pick some nice fish.  Then the S W wind picked up, which is perpendicular to the drift so it was hard to stay on the right line. But we did put a nice catch together for the gang with fish to over 7 lbs. On the afternoon trip the winds picked up so we just made a couple of long drifts on the flats and did catch some nice keepers to our biggest of the year of 9 1/4 lbs but he was not in the pool.  Tried the hot areas of the morning and yesterday but they  were not not productive.  Here are some pics so hope to see you soon.

Friday 6/10 The best day yet !

     We didn't know what to expect for the trip going out but the winds were not as bad as yesterday so we tried fishing in the bay  and had a nice pick going the whole morning so we ended up with a nice catch of keepers.  Started the afternoon in the same area and picked some nice fish until we lost the drift. Went to where the wind and tide were together and they were hungry. Some big blues in the mix also and ended with fish to filet at the dock, the best trip of the year with close to 100 keepers ( a garbage can full) up to 7 1/2 lbs by teacher Ed Christensen. Hope it keeps up and hope to see you soon, here are a few pics.

Weds /Thurs reports

    Not enough showed to go on Weds and it was not nice anyway but the time noon came around. Went out Thurs day but it was more windy then they predicted so we could not fish where we wanted to and therefore only caught a few keepers and some shorts on the beach in the morning. We barely had enough to go in the afternoon and tried another area with the same results. Mike Jackson got his second pool in a row, way to go Mike. We are sailing every day rain or shine, however please watch the wind forecast and if you are not sure give me a call. If the forecast is winds to 30 or 35 think twice about coming down cause we would be very limited as to where we can fish. Just a reminder, fathers day is coming up and a great gift is a gift certificate so he can come when he wants because fathers day can be very busy in the morning. Here are couple of pics, and thanks for looking in.

Tues 6/7 and pics from Monday

    We tried a couple of areas in the morning waiting for better conditions, wind and tide together. On the first drift we boated a keeper striped bass, which we haven't seen in a while, and a couple of fluke. We then got hung up in fish pots so we moved to a couple of other areas and got hung up again, they are all over. Few fish here and there until the tide change and then headed up to where the action has been good but only a slow pick on the fish. On the afternoon trip we picked right away until a squall came through with rain and wind. Ended up with as many keepers to 6 1/2 lbs with only half the anglers as on the morning trip. We will give it a go this morning but not sailing in the afternoon with the weather forecast. Here are the pics and thanks for looking in.

Monday 6/6

     On yesterdays report I put the wrong date, oops.  Had a beautiful day weatherwise  and thought with the god conditions it would be good fishing. We tried a couple of drifts in the bay waiting for the tide change and picked some shorts and a couple of keepers. Moved out to where we have been catching them but only picked away for one drift until a  big tug came through and then that was it. It turned out ok but not as good as Friday and Saturday. Went out in the afternoon expecting to get one or two good drifts in before the tide change but it did not happen. Caught some big blues and a few shorts so we moved on since a ship was coming through. Did find one area that produced some fish where teacher Ed boated 4 keepers one one drift and then another one on the next to limit out. Not a lot of keepers overall but ok..Forgot the camera so  will post pics later. Today looks good and maybe tomorrow morning but not sure about the afternoon with wind and t storms. Thanks for looking in.

Sunday 6/6 Conditions & Bob called it

     Despite the bad forecast we did get out on the morning trip. South east winds and ebb tide fought each other for the wrong drift in the channel combined with a few ships going through it hurt the fishing there. We did manage to put a catch of keepers and shorts including a 7 1/2lber by 8 yr old nick. He and dad reeled the pool fish in and Mate Tim had Nick reel in a big blue. He will sleep good. Bob Caputo called it when he saw little Nick get on the boat and said there goes the pool. No boats got out in the afternoon but the rest of the week looks good, if you are not sure give us a call. Here are a couple of pics and thanks for looking in.
