Heather from the Black Hawk office reports that we had quite the week! Early in the week we had more excellent bottom fishing, with jumbo porgies and seabass coming over the rails. Things really got crazy on Wednesday, though, when we caught a 355 pound thresher shark!
Capt. Greg, along with mates Mike and Brett and a great group of customers, decided to spend some time shark fishing after the bottom fishing trip. Nobody was sure what to expect, so imagine the surprise when this huge thresher jumped on the rod. The story was picked up by several local news organizations, especially given recent shark activity throughout New England. While not a normal day on the Black Hawk, it was certainly a day to remember!
The rest of the week and weekend were back to normal, with excellent bottom fishing and beautiful weather. We’re watching the weather carefully in regards to the upcoming storm, so stay tuned to our website and Facebook page for updates and any schedule changes. As always, our trips are by reservation only right now to allow for social distancing protocols New trips are posted on Monday evenings and are filling up about a week to a week and a half ahead of time, so be sure to check online and grab your tickets as soon as you see them.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
