Heather from the Black Hawk office reports that after the excellent fishing we've had on recent trips, we were curious about what to expect after the big storm system last weekend. However, when we got back out to the fishing grounds we were surprised and happy to see the fish were still there waiting for us!! Many anglers had limits of seabass or close to it. The jumbo scup made for a solid showing for this time of year and everyone went home with a nice mixed bag of fish. On Saturday, we headed out to Coxes Ledge today and it didn't disappoint! We had a solid catch of quality seabass. Some jumbo scup, ling and bergals were there too to top off the coolers. There were a couple of keeper cod in the mix as well. A beautiful day for mid-December! Unfortunately, Mother Nature is bringing us another storm over the next few days, but we'll be heading back out as soon as we can. As most of you probably know, we'll be finishing up the season just after Christmas, so we can head back to the shipyard for another winter project. Join us while you can before we're done for the season! We still have gift certificates available as well, they make great gifts! We look forward to seeing everyone for our last few weeks of trips! ...

Heather from the Black Hawk office reports that when we got out, the fishing was excellent! LImits of seabass on many trips, with a nice mix of cod on some trips. Friday was the trip of the winter, with an easy boat limit of seabass. The seabass fishing was so good we couldn't get through to the cod! There were some caught, but the seabass fishing was just unbelievable. Some scup and bergals rounded out the coolers. Saturday the seabass bite was a little off due to the impending storm, but it was the best cod showing we've seen all season. A few pollock were an added bonus! We're looking forward to the next few weeks! We will continue to fish through December, weather permitting. Be sure to grab your tickets and join us! We look forward to seeing everyone soon! ...

Heather from the Black Hawk office reports that there's not much to report this week! Unfortunately, we ended up tied to the dock most of the week due to the windy conditions. We did get out last Sunday, and although the trip was a little slow to start, the seabass were there once we started drifting. We had quite a few shorts to get through, but the keepers were well worth it! Most anglers got to their limit. There was a nice showing of scup mixed in as well. A couple keeper cod with a couple shorts too. After a week of being tied to the dock, on Saturday we took the ride to Coxes Ledge where the quality seabass were ready to chew. We had some limits produced, and many anglers were close. Some nice scup, ling and jumbo bergals mixed in too. Everyone went home with a nice catch. Overall, a beautiful day weather wise for December. We will continue to fish through December, weather permitting. Be sure to grab your tickets and join us! We look forward to seeing everyone soon! ...

Heather from the Black Hawk office, and the entire Black Hawk crew, hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! We were fortunate to get in several trips this week. Early in the week, the seabass fishing wasn't quite as good as it had been- those who stuck it out at the rails had some nice fish, but it wasn't the lights out fishing we had been used to. The blackfishing was good, with nice numbers of big tog coming up around the boat. After the storm on Wednesday and a break on Thursday for Thanksgiving, we didn't quite know what to expect. However, the seabass were there waiting for us, and we had excellent fishing on both Friday and Saturday. Limits of seabass around the boat, some nice cod mixed in, and we have had some scup to fill in the coolers. We had some beautiful blackfish for those who knew how to catch 'em, an added bonus before the season closes. Thanks to all who participated in our annual Small Business Saturday gift certificate sale. We appreciate your support! As always, we encourage you to shop small and local, especially during the holiday season. We will continue to fish through December, weather permitting. Be sure to grab your tickets and join us! ...

Heather from the Black Hawk office reports that the seabass were the story of the week this week! While we didn't get out every day, when we did, the seabass were there waiting for us. We had a full boat limit of beautiful seabass every day, along with some porgies that are still hanging around, and a nice mix of cod to round out the coolers. Overall, a fantastic week of fishing. The entire Black Hawk family and crew wishes your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for all of our wonderful customers, and those who have turned into friends and family, for allowing us to continue to do what we love. Thanks for your continued support year after year. After turkey day, don't forget our annual Small Business Saturday gift certificate sale. As always, we encourage you to shop small and local, especially during the holiday season. We will continue to fish through December, weather permitting. Be sure to grab your tickets and join us! ...
