Capt. Greg of the Blackhawk reports that Friday, the 25th and Saturday, the 26th showed us some nice November weather and hot fishing. Decent amounts of big scup, and full boat limits of jumbo sea bass were enjoyed by all. Some nice green codfish were also added to the mix, with some anglers getting two to three each, ranging up to 20 lbs. The cod were spitting up a lot of herring, which is a good sign to see. Hardly any dogfish were seen on these two days; although there are a lot of ’em around in other places. Weekly regular Henry D from Ludlow, Vermont came both Friday and Saturday and easily had his limit of jumbo seabass both days, with some nice cod too.
As of this writing, Sunday’s trip, the 27th, is still out fishing with Capt. Matt at the helm. The weather is not perfect as yesterday’s was, with a stiff northwest wind blowing 15-20 mph. The weather decides all at this time of year. If you’re planning on coming on any of these upcoming trips, the tip is to dress warm and bring extra clothes. Boots, gloves, and oilers are a must.
“The dogfish are more prominent today, unfortunately,” reports Capt. Matt. “Spots we fished just yesterday with excellent cod and sea bass are showing a lot of dogs today. We’ve had to go into the ‘seek and destroy mode’ on the other areas. The last drop was good with a good multi-species mix of scup, sea bass and cod.”
Heather from the office wants again to remind everyone trips are by reservation only, with a limited number of anglers. We are planning on fishing on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with some weekday trips added in when the weather permits. Call for your spot and check our website for details.
