What a difference a day makes captain Rich reports. Captain Rich decided to try and new area to stay out of the swell and it paid off big time. The start of the trip was on the slower side but then it was lights of fishing. High hook caught 18 keeper fluke( only keeping his limit. Many other anglers caught over 10 keepers each. Most anglers went home with 6-7 fish each. The fish were also on the larger side with many fish in the 4-5 pound range. One angler reported catching his limit with a total weight of 35 pounds. Pool fish today was around 7 pounds. Some sea bass in the mix but not close to the numbers we have been seeing. As i am writing this the mates are still on the table filleting the days catch. A few small bluefish rounded out today’s catch. The boat will be sailing tomorrow morning at 7am.
Captain Mike reported a decent morning half day trip. The water on the beaches seemed to be clearing but is still dirty from the weekends weather. A handful of fluke to 4 pounds made it in to the boat this morning. With the dirty water conditions, Captain Mike decided to try some of his sea bass spots. There were some sea bass around but they seemed to be scattered. About 2 dozen sea bass found the way on to the anglers hooks. The afternoons trip was better then the mornings trip. quite a few more fluke made it in to the coolers. High hook had 4 keepers. Pool fish was around 5 pounds. The short action was much better with an unnamed anglers catching 15 shorts. We are scheduled to sail on both half day trips tomorrow at 8am and again at 1pm
