Heather from the Black Hawk office reports that it was a busy week on the Black Hawk! Our private charter on Wednesday was wonderful, with loads of porgies, a limit of slot sized striped bass, and some bluefish in the mix as well! A great day on the water with a great group!
The first fluke trip of 2024 started off very positive with a 6lb fish in the net and a mix of many other shorts coming over the rail as well and then Mother Nature crashed the party! The rain and thunderstorms took over and shut the fishing down. When it had finally cleared and brightened up we started to pick at mostly shorts with a keeper here and there. This was not the start to the fluke season we were looking for, but it’s only going to get better as the season progresses.
The Memorial Day holiday weekend scup trips on Friday, Saturday and Sunday were more of the same- a slow pick most days, and the fish just did not want to cooperate. Despite the beautiful weather the bite never materialized into what we have been seeing lately. Those who worked at it and stayed at the rail did decent, and we did take home some quality fish. Looking forward to an improvement in the coming week.
Our squid trips were a little picky as well-the action was off and on all night. Those that fished hard were able to put some nice squid on the boat!
We’re adding some extra bass trips this week- Friday and Saturday evenings, and watch the calendar for more. We’re still booking charters, be sure to book your date soon- our popular dates are filling up, so be sure to get your date on the calendar.
New Tickets for each week will be posted online on Monday night at 8pm, just like in past years. Be sure to check out our calendar so you see what’s coming up!
We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
