Getting Ready to Bring the Boat out of the Water - We had three or four trips since our last report.

Slowing Down to a Crawl... - We fished a few times since our last report. Our passengers caught some nice porgies, some sea bass, bluefish and fluke. Fluke are now out of season, so they had to be thrown back. We'll be pulling our CT boat from the water at the end of this m more...

Mixed bag.... - We've had some good temps, but the winds have been bothersome. We fished a few times, catching mainly sea bass and porgies, along with small bluefish and a few sand sharks. Only five weeks left to go for the season; pulling the boat out of the wa more...

Crazy Weather, Few Charters As a Result - We did several charters over the last ten days of August, and one during Labor Day Weekend, but Hermine forced cancellation of two other trips, and calls have slowed down significantly ever since, which isn't unusual for this time of year. We'd be more...

Summer Doldrums are nigh.... - Our area has been dealing with very high temps, and we've been getting a mixed bag; but nothing is consistent of predictable. Among our catches last week were large sea bass, some decent fluke, bluefish of different sizes, and the occasional porgy more...

Last Week's Fishing Was Great; Very Encouraging.... - Friday was windy and cloudy, but we sailed at 11am with Ed Karazin of Westport, along with his son, Mike, of San Diego, and his children Emma, Chloe and Zack.

Some good fishing last week.... - We've been catching keeper fluke, sea bass, small striped bass and assorted bluefish. Not much in the way of porgies at this time. A few passengers enjoyed bringing in nice-sized sand sharks, too, and there's no shortage of sea robins! We don't more...
