Mid-May and the Fishing is on fire

21. May 2010 by admin.

      The fishing has been fantastic this week, especially in the evening and the falling tide. As the tide begins to drop, the fish have been gorging themselves on bait in several locations throughout the harbor. Last evening I had a couple of returning fishermen, Don and Jon, onboard and we fished from 5 until dark. We moved around a little during the high tide and found some good structure to fish with only one strike. But as the tide really began to move, we found the fish. A huge school of bass feeding on schools of silversides. We were lucky to have these fish all to ourselves for two hours. Because it was flat calm, the blitz was amazing to watch; seeing nice sized bass rolling on the surface was great to see. Sometimes it was just their shoulders that would break the surface, although a few launched clear out of the water. Don and Jon both were hooking fish on almost every cast on fly and spin. Jon caught his first striper on fly! As the sun set the fishing slowed and we decided to head in. It was a great few hours on the water!

         The fishing should continue to be terrific so make sure to book your charter today.

   Tight lines,
