Heather from the office reports that it was a pretty exciting week on the Black Hawk! We lost some trips early in the week due to the weather, and our first trip out after the wind wasn’t quite what we’d hoped. A good number of scup, some blackfish and some cod as well, but not as many seabass as we’d been hoping for. On Thursday, though, after watching the bluefin fly out of the water for the last 2 weeks Capt. Matt and CJ said enough was enough! They put out their spread and many fish tried to eat and after 15 minutes they were doubled up with bluefin tuna up to 30lbs! Everyone went home with the freshest of tuna steaks! We then moved on to a solid bite of blackfish and a mix of scup, seabass and a few codfish! Talk about a mixed bag!
The rest of our trips for the week were good, with limits of seabass, lots of scup, and a nice showing of cod. We look forward to more cod as the season continues.
We have a few more of our 12 hour Block Island blackfish/bottom fishing combo, so grab your tickets and plan on joining us before the blackfish season closes! After that, all trips will be bottom fishing trips, as often as possible when the weather allows.
Don’t forget about Small Business Saturday! As usual, we will have our gift certificate sale that day, so give us a call to get a deal on a gift certificate to use next year! And don’t forget to support your local small businesses when doing your holiday shopping this year! Your local tackle shops, book stores, toys stores, and specialty shops can all use the support, so be sure to shop local this year!
As always, new tickets for each week will be posted online on Monday night at 8pm. Grab your tickets online and come fill the freezer before the winter! We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
