The weather is cooling down and the fishing is heating up. Trolling has been producing a nice grade of resident rockfish in the 22-26 inch class. The bite is a little unpredictable day-to-day but it’s only gonna’ get better! Hopefully, the larger migratory rockfish will show up any day now. The wind cost me a […]
I only had one trip on the books this week and Mother Nature prevented it with 35kt winds! The word on the dock is that the striper-bite has been tough. Some boats are trolling, others are chumming. There are still a few bluefish around but they’re on the way out. As these cooler temperatures chill […]
Fishing was a little up and down this week, but we managed to overcome adversity and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! We pulled out full rockfish limits on all four trips this week although some days were tougher than others and we had to pull out all the tricks. All of our customers were […]
Had my best customers out last night—the boys from BGC and J.M. Mullen Electrical. Great group of guys and they’re always a riot. We set up and started fishing with some bleak conditions. Wind was fighting tide and the lines weren’t behaving. The six other boats left shortly after we got there because no one […]
The Bay has cleaned up nicely and most of the debris is gone. Fishing has been very hit or miss lately. The weekend was a mob-scene with way too many clueless boats running through chumslicks and spooking fish. On Saturday, we decided to troll for breaking bluefish and hooked about 35, and kept 19 for eating. […]
I was out of town for a few days shooting ducks, but apparently the fishing has been both good and bad depending on the day and the tide. Despite the hit or miss nature of the bite, plenty of rockfish were caught this week chumming, trolling and jigging. Breaking fish are becoming more common as […]
Rockfishing got a little spotty for a few days but it is back on fire! Live lining continues to be fast and furious. Catching bait has been the biggest challenge and a lot of guys have resorted to buying them. There is still a lot of wood and debris in the water so we all have to […]
This week was a bit different from how it has been. The hurricane and following rain storms have caused the Bay to become brown with sediment and littered with logs, trees, debris, etc. Conditions and fishing were tough overall. A few boats caught some Rockfish live-lining, but had to resort to buying the live Spot. (The local Spot […]
The waters are murky and full of debris, but the fishing is still very good! Rockfishing was productive this weekend for live-liners who found enough Spot. Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel bit well on the troll. Cooler weather and breaking Rockfish are right around the corner. Contact me a.s.a.p. to book a fall date! Late October through Dec. […]
Well, an earthquake, tornados, and a hurricane all in the same week was pretty nuts and cost us some trips. It was worthwhile hauling the boat for a few days though. It gave me a chance to replace some zincs and touch-up some bottom paint. This week provided us with better weather and great […]
