Windbag Earl stirred things up along the coast; lots of weeds to clear out now that the swell has moderated. No danger of hooking a Quebec surfer on a long cast, at least this week… Bluefish are still with us, and we’ll be reconnecting with stripers as soon as conditions permit. Last check we had [...] After “weathering” a solid three day Noreaster and its aftermath, it was an open question what we’d find. After hitting a few spots in rapid succession, dropping in prime spike mackerel, we were getting a bit concerned. Enroute to another spot, birds were working in 50′ of water. As the morning wore on the surface [...] Back from a much needed and appreciated “off the grid” family vacation upstate with friends. We enjoyed several friends & family outings coastwise as well. Upon re-entry, here comes the current multi-day blow that we’d call a Noreaster if it weren’t summertime. I shudder to think about my lobster gear! Just prior to the blow, [...] At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the pattern has been consistent in recent weeks: nice results on days with warmer water temps, hard work on post frontal days when the water temps have dropped as much as ten degrees in a matter of hours. We’ve landed keeper fish on all trips, but [...] As reported last week, we are enjoying good action when the winds keep the warm surface water shoreside. When the westerlies blow….well let’s just say fishing can be work at times. We have scraped out a showing even under those conditions, but the REAL fun is taking a well of mini macks shoreside when the [...] We fished this week through a consistent pattern: avoid the times immediately after a hard westerly blow, wherein the coastal water temps dropped a lockjaw 7 degrees in a matter of hours on several occasions. In between, we continue to see consistent action. On those westerly days – tough fishing but Guarantees fulfilled nonetheless… I [...] We’ve had pretty consistent weather this week, and with it a nice combo of access to tinker mackerel and hungry stripers. It’s made for a fun series of twilight trips, some with eeling blended in on the tail end. Things changed abruptly Friday nite, with a two day blow that dropped the water temps 8 [...] I’m happy to report the tinker mackerel have re-appeared inshore, providing us our desired daytime bait. Fishing has been pretty steady, with a number of 30″ plus fish on most trips along with schoolies. This weekend’s frontal passage brought welcome relief from the heat, but also a big swell. We were surfing out there today, [...] We continue to enjoy large numbers of schoolie fish, with the occasional biggie mixed in. Mackerel have become harder to get in recent days, but we’ve substituted pollock with no loss in action. The week ahead promises consistent weather, which should help us continue our string. I’m fairly well booked, but happy to assist with [...] Trophy season has officially begun…. While happily plinking away on schoolies yesterday, we doubled up on two truly large fish. One was broken off on an initial screaming run, while the other took us down to the reel arbor knot as I was frantically pulling anchor to chase. Chase we did, and after a great [...] |
