Fishing Reports

Yesterday was our first blackfish trip! Nice showing of tog on the day with 100 blackfish, keeping around 50 with some nice quality as well 7-8 lb for the pool.

Weather prevented us from getting to the blackfish grounds today but we did put together a nice catch of porgies none the less. Also had a great catch of porgies on our half day trip today!

Looks like the Tog are Biting! Tested the grounds yesterday in the short weather window we had and found a few beauties! Blown out again tomorrow but the weekend looks good! Sailing daily now for Blackfish, Porgies and Sea Bass!!

Despite the cloudy, chilly and sometimes rainy conditions, we had a real nice day today with lots of big porgies, blues and some sea bass. 7 year old Ava caught the biggest one of the day with a nice big sea bass. !!

Sailing as an open boat two trips tomorrow. 7-3pm fullday and 9-1 half day. Plenty of room and the weather looks fantastic! Hope to see you. Blackfish starts Wednesday!!!!

BAIL JOB THIS MORNING!!!! Really great fishing for quality porgies. Caught all we wanted and even threw back a lot of keepers. Great trip.

HOT FISHING NOW!!! Yet another great day out there today. Tons of fish, lots of smiles, joy abounding. The local area are lit up with life right now. Porgies, sea bass, blues, striped bass. This is the time to come enjoy so really great fishing! The pics below tell the story!!!

We have been fighting the wind a bit the past two days stuck inshore. Yesterday was a little slow on the pogies though everyone went home with 10-20 scup a man. Today the conditions were poor again in the morning but by days end we were able to put together an excellent mixed bag catch. The jigging was red hot and it didnt take long to catch all blues you could want!!. The bottom fishing was much improved once the wind settled and we were able to drift. So all in all a very solid day despite the weather.

Today we had Smithtown high school on board for a day of learning and some fishing as well. In the short time we did fish, the kids wacked the scup, blues, fluke and even a blackfish was captured(released). Great trip!!

From Capt Neil posted yesterday on Noreast.com:

“Flying porgys last evening. Young children, Cub Scouts and a family party, were screaming with delight all evening. Capt Jared had us on the drift outside of the harbor and it was screaming catching. What a blast.

Porgy time at Port Jeff. Time to get on your favorite party boat and treat yourself to a ball. “

We havent sailed the past two days with the weather. Hoping to get back out there this evening!
