Fishing Reports

When the weather allows we have been picking away at the blackfish in the 40 -70 foot depths. The past few trips have seen 25-40 keepers per trip with the pool 8-9 lbs for mostly light crowds. Yesterday, 16 anglers had 37 keepers with Joe Deptula winning the pool for the first time in many many years!
We will be sailing again hopefully Wednesday after this windy weather passes.

The black fishing was picky this week as the moon tides really slowed the bite down. 18-65 keepers were landed per trip with some big fish in the 8-10 lb class but not the numbers like we saw last week.

The water is still plenty warm and hopefully after this moon the bite will pick up again! We will be sailing again on Wednesday.

BAILED the blacks today!!!!! Some bite especially on the morning tide! Many limits with high hooks well into the teens! (orl) Check out the video on the homepage to see footage from today's awesome trip. Gotta love it !!

Slayed the blacks today !!!!! They were chewin good all day. Tog to 8 lbs and lots of them. Check out the blackfish video on the homepage to see footage from todays awesome bite.(should be up by 9 pm).

Terrible start to the day…..awesome finish!!! It was lousy, rough conditions this morning. The waves were rolling in good and the bite was non- existent on the first few drops. We were contemplating even calling it a trip and heading in early when Capt Pete finally hooked a nice blackfish..then a few more came over…..

The sound started to calm down a bit so we decided, what the hell, we made it this far lets keep trying. Our charter agreed so we rolled the dice and headed off to a little honey hole that we thought should hold a few fish…and boy I'm glad we did.

Over 90 keepers for our charter of 25 people were landed in the final 40 minutes of fishing as the blacks were biting their heads off to end the day!!! Great way to end.

Black fishing has been picky the past few days with 30 -50 keepers per trip. Considering the conditions today, with the new moon and east wind we put together a decent day. 55 keeper blacks were landed with some real big fish in the mix.

Chris had the pool winning slob which weighed in at 11.5 lbs !! Bill had second with another fine tog weighed in a 10 lbs.
After this blow and the moon pass, it should be some great fishing!

Lots and lots of blackfish today!! The bite is on. Sam won the pool with an 8 lb beauty.

Finally got out again after a few days at the dock. Once the sound settled down a bit, we had the best bite of the season so far during the afternoon. 71 keepers to 8 lbs were caught by today's charter. After a slow start to the day it was a nice way to finish.

The water has finally cooled down a bit and hopefully this is just the beginning of good things to come. Below are a few pics from today

Finally a day with some calm weather! Fished Saturday in a southerly gale for 14 keepers to 8.5 lbs. Sunday, 17 diehards fished a northerly gale for 21 keepers to 7 lbs.

Finally today the sound laid down a bit. It actually felt like a real blackfishing trip for the first time with the cool temps. We even had to put the cabin heat on! Now that's more like it!
The bite was good on the first few drops with 40 keeper blacks coming over the rail. The bite shut down for the ladder part of the incoming but none the less it was nice to see a decent shot of fish on the morning tide. We had a few big fish as well including an 11 lb beauty caught by Marlon !!!

Hopefully this is just the beginning of good things ahead!

We only sailed Monday and Wednesday this week so far due to the weather. Similar results as last week with of pick of tog to 9 lbs, some sea bass, and a good amount of extremely large wreck porgies. Everyone is going home with plenty of fish for dinner. Hopefully this blow and the passing of this moon tide will really get the blacks going for the upcoming week.
