Yesterdays evening trip was very good with all fares limiting out on porgies off Mt Sinai. We also chunked a few bluefish and short bass on bunker. Today's trip saw some very good porgy fishing again off Mt Sinai along with some bluefish which were jigged off Old Field Point.
The past week saw some mixed results diamond jigging. A few trips saw some goods catches of mainly bluefish and a few bass at the middle and Cranes but other days the fish were hard to come by. Some days are great, some days are slow. There have been some huge porgies fishing the deeper water 60-80 feet with some fish close to 3 lbs along with some nice sea bass. Connecticut is now open which will give a lot more options for bottom fishing. Sailing two combo trips daily.

Great day today! Started the day off with a nice catch of porgies off Mt Misery. Once the outgoing tide set up we switched to diamond jigging and bailed the striped bass and bluefish! Everyone caught a load of fish and then some. Tons of blues up to 10 lbs and a nice mix of Striped bass for an added bonus. Biggest bass was 23 lbs caught by Chief Mate Phil. Also made one quick drop in deeper water for a few big 2+lb porgies to end the day. Due to the fine diamond jigging of the past few days we will now be running two combo trips daily for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Porgies and Sea bass

Very good the last few days both on the blues and Porgies..
Thursday saw some good action on the blues North of the lighthouse and then a great drop on big porgies to end the trip with most limiting out.
Friday's trip was looking a little slow on the bottom fishing with the hard tide but luckily the bluefishing was fantastic in the afternoon to end the trip. We didn't sail yesterday during the day but the weather cleared up nicley for the evening and the jigging was awesome! Blues were feasting on the big butterfish in the middle and some drifts lasted up to 20 minutes! Great night.

The fluke bite remains good in our area. It has been a little slower the past two days with the hard moon current but we are still managing some decent catches by days end. Straight bait rigs with squid and spearing are catching the best by far. Yesterday saw a decent pick even on the hard tide with several fares catching their limit up to 5.5 lbs. Totaled 30 keepers/150 shorts for the half day. The porgies have finally started to settle in on the rocky bottom. We had one decent drop to start the day yesterday but the bite didnt last too long and we decided to switch to fluke. Several boats who stayed with it though had great catches by days end. Also, some real nice sea bass have been in the mix.
