Not much happening for a while..

Why is it when the sun is shining and the wind is calm nobody comes to the boat but when it is raining and blowing we get 12 anglers ready to do battle with the fish and the elements???

VERY PUZZLING.....

Not to mix words, fishing has been horrible since the last blow. We did not get out much since Thanksgiving and over the weekend. We did however sail Monday in the rain and was the only boat out in the afternoon. We had the entire bay to ourselves but there were no fish. There was one keeper Striper caught early and that was it.

Today we managed to get out with a handful in the afternoon and once again conditions were bad at best. Strong West wind and the moon tide made conditions uncomfortable at times but we did manage to put some fish in the bucket. We started the trip jigging for Blues and Stripers and found ourselves just east of Cherry Grove chasing birds to no avail. We had two hook ups and one snapped line with no fish making it over the rail. We then decided to anchor up on the reef and give it a go for Blackfish. Thankfully there were some fish caught and the pool was settled instead of raffled off. We had quite a number of short fish and a handful of keepers including Sal's 7 pounder.

The Wise Gnam once again took another pool with his Blackfish and said he will be back tomorrow. I will bring my earplugs...

Conditions look good for tomorrow and we have enough people coming in the afternoon to sail so take advantage while you still can. The rest of the week does not look that good and they are calling for snow on Saturday.......

We will continue to sail until Speedy gets called to drive the oil truck.

Not much happening for a while..

Sunday Slow pick....

Sunday was another slow pick of monster bluefish and Stripers to 25 pounds. The morning trip saw Mike Rod and Reel and Don Fish take another pool with their Striper and Big Tony took the pool in the afternoon with his 25 pound Striper.

Monday and Tuesday we did not sail.

We will sail on Thanksgiving Day 8am-1pm by reservation only. Call Speedy or Sal.

A bit slower...

We fished both trips and the action was considerably slower than Thursday and Friday.

The morning trip did produce a slow pick of monster Blues and and a few keeper Bass. Chief Bill took the high hook in the morning with a monster 16 pound Bluefish.

The afternoon was not much better. However, a few sharpies did manage to throw over 50 Bluefish over the rail and again a few keeper Bass. We will see what tomorrow brings..........

SAVAGE!!!

Sorry for the delay but I did promise a few of our riders that pictures of them would be posted. I do not have the USB cord for Speedy's camera. "Whats a USB cord little buddy??" Say no more......Apologies to Jim McNichol and Frank who had two beauties up to 30 pounds on Wed.

Thursday and Friday were absolutely crazy!!

Jigging in the ocean for Blues and Bass has been producing tons of fish including 18 pound Blues and 30+ pound bass.

It is the best fishing in years!!!

Deja Vu...

Did not sail the morning trip.

In the afternoon we left with another handful for the inlet to try and put bass on the boat.

Just like yesterday it was a moderate pick with 12 shorts and 4 keepers.

The wise Gnam, who was nice enough to come back today, once again had a deuce but this time took the high hook with a Striper close to 20 pounds. He said that he will be here tomorrow. Thanks for the warning!

Drew Tattoo and Ed Drago were fortunate to get keeper sized fish as well.

Decent fish in the afternoon...

We did not sail in the morning.

Left with a handful in the afternoon. The bite was definitely better than yesterday. We saw about a dozen fish and kept four to 20 pounds. Bobby the wise Gnam had a deuce while newcomers Eric and Chang had two beauties with Eric taking top honors with close to a 20 pound keeper.

As a reminder the boat will sail for Cod, Pollock and ling November 28th 5am - 6pm
