fishing reports

Capt. Greg from the Black Hawk reports diamond jigging on Monday after a 5 day layoff was excellent- you could diamond jig as many bluefish as you wanted. On Tuesday, the seabass fishing was incredible- lots of action, some shorts mixed in, a good number of porgies, and everyone on board had their limit of seabass. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we stayed local and had a good combo of everything- porgies, seabass, fluke, blackfish, and even some jacks- of course we had to throw back what wasn’t in season, but it made for interesting days.

Sunday’s bluefish trip was nothing short of incredible- as good as it could possibly be. As many fish as you could possibly want. Everyone was arm weary after a few hours. Unfortunately, during the course of the trip, a young man on board had a medical emergency- it was unknown whether a heart attack or stroke. Fortunately, there was a cardiologist on board who was able to help. We didn’t want to take any chances, so we headed right in for medical help. We were going to head back out, as we were an hour and half early- but everyone on board had had their fill. Once back to the dock, we took care of filleting the fish while the medical personal attended to the young man. We’d like to thank everyone who was on board for their cooperation and patience during the situation. As Capt. Greg said, health is more important than fish. We would have done the same for anyone out there, including other boats if help was needed. Special thanks to the East Lyme Fire Department and the US Coast Guard for their help as well. We wish this young man well and hope he recovers quickly.

Heather from the office reminds everyone that our schedule is now Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, one trip per day, leaving at 7:00 am. We have a few dates still open for private charters, so give Heather a call if you’d like to get your group on board. We also have a special blackfish trip coming this Wednesday, October 14, and will likely have a few more specialty trips in the coming weeks- be sure to stay tuned to our website and facebook page for details.
