The seas were not as angry today, and the fishing was just as good. We saw more porgies today, and just as many sea bass. The people with crabs caught the blackfish. Overall it was another good day. It's always good when people go home with coolers and bags of fish. We are only fishing for a few more weeks, so come down and get some before it's over for the year. John Hannah won today's pool with a 5 pound blackfish.
The weather wasn't great, and to quote the great George Costanza, "The seas were angry", but that didn't stop the fish from biting. Very good fishing today. The sea bass well outnumbered the porgies and blackfish, but the porgies we did catch were very big. Only made one drop all day, as that was all that was needed. A 5 pound blackfish won today's pool.
We had a striped bass charter last night, and it ended up being pretty good. We were fishing in Sandy Hook Channel and read a ton of life, however it took a L - O - N - G time to get things going. It was actually starting to look like it was going to be a "No hits, No runs, No Errors" kind of night, but fortunately they they decided to bite toward the end of the trip on the change of tide. We stayed out an extra hour and put a dozen fish in the boat up to 30 pounds.
We made it out today after a little hiatus due to the weather, and found excellent fishing offshore. After getting set up on our anchor, we began catching porgies immediately. There were some sea bass and blackfish being caught, but it was definitely 85 - 90% porgies. The fishing remained good through the morning and into the afternoon. High hook had 43 porgies and a few sea bass, and today's pool winner was John Hannah with a 5 pound blackfish.
