Capt. Greg from the Black Hawk reports that after the storm on Memorial Day weekend, the holiday itself was a good day, with a full boat limit of weakfish, and a good number of porgies mixed in. The porgy fishing wasn’t quite where it left off before the storm, but we’re hoping that will improve.
Our fluke trip was hampered by wind and rain, and we had to fish in secondary locations, so the bite wasn’t quite what we had hoped. We’re hoping to add another fluke trip or two before we start our full sailing schedule, so stay tuned.
The weekend showed beautiful weather- it seems like summer is here! We fished to the west- still in New York waters, where, unfortunately, the seabass season is still closed. It’s upsetting to see so many smaller boats, and even some of the party/charter boats, keeping seabass when it’s illegal to do so in NY waters right now. We had some beautiful seabass this weekend, all of which were returned to the water. The season opens soon, and we’ll be ready when it does. In the meantime, let’s hope everyone follows the regulations and keeps only what is legal.
Our trips continue to be by reservation only at this time. Just like last year, tickets will be available to purchase on our website on Monday evenings at 8:00 pm. We will post tickets for our trips one week at a time, approximately two weeks ahead of time. All trips will be by reservation only, so be sure to grab your tickets early!
We have a few dates left of June private charters, and are starting to book for July and August. June dates are filling quickly, so be sure to email Heather to get your date before it’s sold out. Private charters are a great, affordable way to get out with your family, friends, or business!
We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
