Well-Known Angler
Took full advantage of this past weekends excellent weather running back to back charters with strong fishing on both days.
Saturday found Mike B. and his family join me for a half day afternoon trip out to the LI Sound. His 2 young daughters had only fished in lakes previously but proved their angling skills by really putting the hurt on the Porgy and Sea Bass population north of Plum I. While the flood tide was running hard, we stuck to the Porgy fishing and then moved off to the deeper drops to cash in on some nice sized Sea Bass. A boat limit was achieved with 11 y/o Kennedy taking the top 3# biscuit for the day!
Sunday was supposed to be a full 4-man crew but sadly 2 anglers dropped out last minute. Too bad for them as Jeremy and celebrity Chef Nader enjoyed steady action on our trip to Montauk. Started out just off the lighthouse for the end of the ebb and quickly picked up 2 smallish keeper Fluke among 4 other shorts. As the tide backed off and the birds took over it was time to continue the hunt on the south side drops.
First stop in 66’ that produced most of our action 2 weeks ago was loaded with mostly sub legal Sea Bass. We did cull a couple of biscuits for the box but this was not the place for a Fluke bite yesterday. Moved further south to 75’ and set of numbers that has produced 3 DD‘s for me in the last 2 seasons. Although we never did reach that level the Fluke bite was pretty steady here along with a nicer class of Sea Bass. Spent the next 3 hours working this piece hard and the box kept filling up nicely. Came within 3 fish of a limit on Fluke here, with Jeremy taking top honors with a pretty 6.1# specimen and Nader close behind with a fat 5# fish. Needed the last hour to filet the fish so we hit one last set of numbers a little further south and wound up coming within 1 fish of our Fluke limit and filling out the Sea Bass quota. A very enjoyable day indeed in some fine weather.
Had an unexpected cancellation for next weekend so I am wide open for 8/15,16. Just give me a call if you want to cash in on some fine summer action.
