Late July
Written by captpete Under UncategorizedFinally more news. I am back to being incredibly busy this time of year and I’m very glad of it. Thanks to all of you who have fished with us or have booked trips for later in the summer.
Look at these beautiful flounder caught this week near Drum Point! One is 22 inches and the other 20. We caught 3 keepers that day. There are a lot of these beauties around this year and I hope to have an opportunity to fish for them more.
The schedule looks good for August but September is looking slim so far. It is traditionally slower business-wise but it is a great month to fish. We usually have every species that swims in the Bay.
Fishing has been good as of late with fantastic live-bait fishing for rockfish being the steadiest action around. Croaker fishing has generally been good but we hit a bit of a rough patch with all the cool, breezy weather. Last night was fantastic and the weather was (not coincidentally) warm and muggy with a light south wind.
I saw some Spanish mackerel yesterday that came out of a fish trap, so perhaps they will arrive early this year.
Also, it’s time to start thinking about fall and winter trophy trips. I have booked a couple this week so it’s not too early to call.
