Sorry to for the posting slience – fishing, a family vacation, and then the Hurricane shuffle. Hint: It’s much easier being a charter captain than a charter captain/lobsterman when a hurricane is on its way. Battening down the center console – simple. Repositioning pots pre-storm, then dodging surfers to recover them today – not so much.

Although the storm moved through pretty quickly, the weeds and churn will take some time to settle out.

Just before all this, the fishing was holding up nicely. The herring that held in certain shoreline pockets made the twilight bite fun. Stripers were also a little further offshore, at one point making it dicey to leave just-jigged mackeral in the water too long. They need to make Sabiki rigs with heavier leader!

Pre-storm we also had solid numbers of bluefish, and a slug of school tuna near the Isles.

I’m going to let things settle out, then come back swinging into Labor Day Weekend. Pretty booked through Sept, but I’d happily refer you on if I can’t make the trip happen.

Best,

Capt. Bob
