Fishing Reports

Had a great time yesterday taking out the kids. This trip was arranged by the New York Sport Fishing Federation and Sponsored by Senator Lee Zeldin , seen here in the picture along with Jim Hutchinson, the board Members of the Federation and Capt Des and his Dad! Thanks everyone for putting this trip together!!

Yesterdays Full day charter saw some really great fishing!!!!!!

Took a ride to some new bottom and they were waiting for us!!!!!!!!!!

36 anglers put a limit of scup on the boat by 12:30. very good scuppin! Tied on the jigs and went looking for the blues, the conditions were not the best but we still managed around 20 blues before calling it a trip.

Cleaned the boat and went right back out with 16 of CAPT NEILS Family as well as some other open boaters.
As Neil said in his report, a repeat of the day trip! good action all around with high hook around 15 scup (orl). A few blues were also in the mix.
As always it is such a pleasure to have Capt Neil on the Boat. Thank you Neil hope to see you soon!!!

Here is Capt Neils report as well:

What a great evening to go porgy fishing, perfect weather, calm seas and beautiful porgys coming over the rail. 16 of us lined the port side of the CQ and fortunately for me in the shade. It was a fabulous family outing with every one catching porgys.

Thanks to Capt chris, Caroline and John for making our trip special.
Thank you Des for being the great friend that you are.

A great day on our Full Day Charter today!!!!! Capt Chris put em on a few excellent drops of nice sized porgies. Also had some sea bass and blues. Full boat limit not a problem at all!

The 9am trip was not so lucky as 40-50 porgies were landed, but not nearly what we had been seeing. Seemed like a lot of blues in the area had the porgies shut down a bit.

Fishing has been really great the past couple of trips! Lots of very large Porgies, Sea Bass, and lots of Blues. The kids have been having a blast! Today saw over 300 beautiful porgies come over the rails and everyone went home extremely happy! SHould be great fishing from here on out hopefully!! Check out the one picture below of the basket of some HUGE porgies. You can see how big they are in relation to Capt Jons hand!

Lots of Jumbo Porgies on the FIsh FInder!!!

The pm trip sailed with the Turner party of 16. Steamed East to escape the tide. It was one drop fishing with scup to three pounds and a few sea bass coming over the rails. During the pouring rain, 10 brave anglers managed a nice catch of over ninety porgies. High hook was 17 porgies (only retained limit). Blues were also in the mix with over twenty caught. The fishing is continuing to get better. Bring out the kids to catch the school before school catches them!

We're inbound n the 9AM trip, and fishing continues to improve. Plenty of big porgies were caught by anglers of all experience levels.

Porgy fishing continues to improve in the Port Jeff area, as we saw on yesterdays trips as well. The 9AM trip had good fishing, and the evening trip, despite some heavy rain at times, saw an even better catch. Over one hundred thirty scup were caught by a light crowd. Even first-time fishermen caught plenty of fish.

The porgy fishing has been steadily improving since the new moon passed, and as we approach the full moon, sea bass and blues are showing in the catches more frequently. This pattern should build quickly to give us consistently good fishing for the rest of the summer and rthrough the fall.

After a few weeks of slow fishing, things are picking up nicely!

The past few days the scuppin is improving each day. some C bass and blues are starting to show as well.

Only going to get better as the fall run approaches (amazing we are talking about fall already.)!!!

We will be bottom fishing everday right through the fall!!!

The highlight of the week was catching a COD in long island sound is Aug(Released).!!

YES you read that right!!!!!

This is really cool to see and gets us all thinking about the upcoming Cod season in Montauk, we are looking foward to another great cod season and hope to see many of you out in Montauk!!!

Well its been typical mid summer fishing. Catch em one day gone the next! We have had a few good catches of nice big porgies, both right outside the harbor and on some of the deep water drops, but some tides they have shut off all together and it has been slow. Some blues are starting to settle in and that should increase over the next few weeks. Tons of bait has set up at the middle grounds so hopefully the jig fishing will pick up soon. Fluking has been a ton of shorts and action, but keepers have been hard to come by so we have been staying mostly with the bottom fishing for porgies and sea bass. Maybe tomorrow it will bust wide open!!! 🙂

Very good fishing today on the Celtic Quest full day capt choice Special.. several anglers had their limit of large porgies, with nearly a boat limit being caught. There were also many nice sea bass landed, along with bluefish action, for those who were interested.

Upcoming trips should see good porgy action continue, with blues and sea bass adding to the action. Call for reservations, or information about scheduled trips.

Well its been a bit of a hard week. Catching lots of fluke, great action on many trips but the keeper ratio is way down from what it was. Some nice keepers here and there, but way off from what it was. Porgie fishing has been very hit and miss, as often happens this time of year for a week or two. Some Blues are starting to show up off Old Field so we will be trying to incorporate them into the mix when we see them. The weather has been great though and the kids are still having a great time reeling fish in! Hopefully the next wave a larger fluke will be here soon.
