Capt. Greg from the Black Hawk reports that bluefishing simply remains phenomenal. Drop that diamond jig anywhere near the bottom and you got ’em. Consistently all you could want, with some real nice sea bass and stripers mixed right in. A smorgasbord of fish, filling all the coolers and making for boatloads of happy customers. If you’re looking for a lot of action, now’s the time. We’re fishing on Thursday and Friday at 4pm by reservation, limited to 28 anglers- but only for a few more weeks, so book your spot now! Also, one more week of Saturday and Sunday open boat at 6am and 1pm, before our schedule changes on September 1. We’ve been sailing on private charters all summer long on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, charters with up to 60 people, leaving the dock at 4pm These are coming to an end over the next few weeks as summer draws to a close. We’ve already had some groups book their dates for next year!
Our midweek 7am seabass, porgy and fluke trips, fishing in the Montauk area again this week, remained excellent. Plenty of big fish, and most customers have no problem catching their limit and filling their coolers. We even had a few triggerfish and stripers to round out the mix. A lot of bait where we’ve been fishing, with sightings of porpoises, a few whales and even a thresher shark pup (75 pounds) chasing the bait around on top.
Heather from the office reminds everyone that our schedule remains the same for a bit longer- Saturdays and Sundays, 2 trips daily at 6am and 1pm, and Monday through Friday one trip at 7am. The schedule will change on September 1 with the opening of the bonus season for porgies (45 fish per person). Then we’ll be heading out every day at 7am- Sundays and Mondays will be for bass & blues, Tuesday through Saturday for porgies and seabass. Check our websitefor updates and more info. Our Black Hawk and the Community program continues to collect school supplies through August and the beginning of September. Heather has a friend down in Baton Rouge, and she’s been very involved in relief efforts after these devastating floods. She has told us that school supplies will be needed in the coming months- so our school supplies will be heading down south in mid September. Grab something the next time you’re shopping and bring it down the boat on your next trip. We hope to see you soon.
