Fishing Reports

Tons of fish out there today. The CQIII had great action on the jigs today with blues up to 10 lbs. AS the tide eased off we chunked a deep water rock pile and had a bunch of big blues to 12 lbs and a nice bass of 20 lbs.

The CQII also enjoyed awesome fishing on the jigs. The day began in the middle with some big piles of fish on the north side. We then headed off cranes where there was acres and acres of blues on the surface. It was excellent fishing to say the least for the remainder of the trip.

Great day out there today!!!
The CQIII slayed the giant blues on the chunk in the deep water with Capt Dane at the helm. They also managed a few keeper striped bass up to 24 lbs!! Great trip.
The CQII enjoyed great action at the middle ground chasing the bass and blues. The north rip was lit up with tons of blues chasing anchovies on the outgoing tide. We also had a bunch of schoolie bass. The whole rip had fish as there was an extraordinary amount of bait around. Thankfully the wind and seas laid down and the fish really turned on!

The jigging on the north side of the Middle Grounds was an absolute slaughter today!! All the fish you wanted in 20- 30 feet of water! Awesome fishing!
The past few days have also been very good both at the middle and on some of the deeper rock piles. Some nice bass have been coming off some of the deeper spots. We had a few good shots on the porgies as well on the pm trips but the days have still been slow on the scup. But hopefully they are starting to improve.

We have landed several big bass the past few trips. Joe Constantino had a 28 lb bass on a jig fishing a rock pile last night. Lots of cocktail blues have been all along the beach and in the inlet.

The middle grounds has also produced well the past few trips as there has been a decent amount of blues on the north side. We had a good shot of them this morning until the tide eased off.

The captains choice combo continues to see decent results on the day trip. The fluking is holding up quite well with anywhere from 10 – 20 keepers being landed on most trips. The best fluking now is coming off the deeper edges in 30-50 feet of water. We have also been adding in some bass and blues and a few porgies and sea bass to round out the catch.

The diamond jigging has ranged from red hot to slow. There have been a lot of surface blues at the middle grounds in the shallow water. Some trips have seen some excellent shots of fish with some bass in the mix. A nice keeper bass won the pool last night. A few trips this past week the blues did a disappearing act and were hard to find. But all in all jigging has been good.

The porgy fishing has been on the slow side the past several days. The ones we are catching are very large but hopefully after these hard currents ease off a little the scupin' should improve.

Today was one of those days fisherman dream of! On our morning charter Capt Chris located some huge schools of bunker and big blues out in the deep water. It was a total bail job on giant blues all morning on bunker chunks. As soon as you got your chunk below the bunker school you could see countless big blues going after the bait.. It is quite a site to see, one which never gets old!

Yesterday saw the continued awesome fluke action. Incredible amount of fluke here this year. With last years regs it would have been yet another limit out trip for all 17 anglers as most of the fish are 18-19 inches. High hooks would have been in the double digits. Nonetheless, 18 keepers were landed up to 4.5 lbs and a fun day was had by all.

Insane fluke bite today! 19 fares landed nearly 400 fluke on the day many of which were over 18 inches. Nearly 60 of last years keepers were in the boat by 9am. Last year we would have limited out all fares by 11 am. We did manage 15 keepers on the day. Some great action right now.

Tremendous action on the fluke with 18 -19 inch fish. Enough keepers in the mix to keep it interesting.
The PM Middleground trip had some good action for 6 fares. A bunch of big blues to 10 lbs and a keeper bass hit the jigs on the outgoing tide. Finished the trip with a pick of some very big scup. All in all, a nice middle ground mixed bag.

Great trip aboard the CQIII today. Capt Pete put em on the meat! Lots of nice bass to 25 lbs and some big blues. Finished the trip bucktailing a handful of keeper fluke.
The CQII again had a ton of action off B11. Not to sound like a broken record but if it was last year everyone would be saying how awesome the fluking is. We would have limited out on 18' plus fish! As it was 18 fares had 18 keepers with over 100 total fluke on the day. Still a lot of fun!

Awesome fluking today if we were going by last years limit! We would have had 50-70 keepers over 18 inches for 20 fares. But nonetheless…..lots of action and 15 fatties were kept for the cutting table.
