Heather from the Black Hawk office reports that we had a good week of
winter fishing! After losing last weekend due to the weather, we were
able to get out several days in the last week. Monday’s trip, after
the strong winds of the weekend, was a bit tough. The water was still
dirty and the fishing was a bit of a grind, but those who stuck it out
went home with good numbers of seabass, a few cod, and even some jumbo
porgies. Tuesday we headed out with a private charter, but the actual
wind was very different than the forecast, and the rough seas made for
a tougher trip. Wednesday was better, with some limits of seabass and
some cod and ling in the mix.
On Thursday, we moved over to our winter dock in Noank at the Noank
Shipyard, and sailed from there Friday and Saturday. Friday had great
seabass fishing, with limits all over the boat, as well as a good mix
of cod and jumbo porgies. Saturday was the best cod fishing we’ve
seen yet this year! Solid fishing seabass, ling, bergals, and even a
pair of weakfish. Overall, a great day on the water!
With this winter storm coming, we’re losing much of the week, but the
weekend looks nice, so we hope to get out then. As always, this time
of year our schedule is dictated by the wind. We’ll get out as much
as possible when we’re able.
As usual, we will continue to post new trips on Monday evenings around
8pm. Going forward, trips will be posted for Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays. We will post weekday trips based on the weather closer to
the date of the trip. Check our Facebook page and website for updates
and reports.
