Some nice sea-bass were also caught on the earlier drops. We left them biting yesterday, come catch

Capt Jon put together a nice catch a 12 fares had 15 nice seabss and several dozen big porgies to go along with some blues. Earlier in the week we also had some

We started yesterday's charter with some scup fishing. It was pretty good, until on a move to another drop, Captain Mark spotted some fish on top. We switched over to jigs, and had a few hours of excellent fishing for mixed-sized blues! We're looking forward to seeing this action hold up for our bass and blue trips that are starting Monday morning at Seven, and add an option to our other trips, as well.

The Eastern fluke grounds have seen a new charge of fish, and the past couple of day trips down there have had good fishing. Several fish over five pounds have been caught, and as these thinner fish bulk up quickly on the sand eels, there should be some impressive catches put up in the coming weeks. Last night's porgy trip had some fast fishing for a light crowd. Giant scup were the dominators of the trip, with very few fish
