Bandit Delaware Blackfish Reports
« on: December 28, 2008, 12:33:00 AM »
12/26 and 12/27

Sailed our first trip with the Island Current Boat this season in Delaware Fri. Had Mr Shin and the fishing club aboard. Made 3 drops with good life on all of them. Mr Shin and Shu had there 10 fish limits with nice boxers. Couple other guys had 10 fish limits as well. Most others guys had 4-6 keepers.

Had a real strong current, needed 12-16 oz to hold. The guys who leaded up caught Better. If the current was a little less probably wouldhave been even better.

On sat we sailed with super calm / flat seas. Got set up on the first spot and had good life all around the boat to 9lbs but it didnt last long at all. Slid and slided all over the place and couldnt sit right without the slide. Pull Your hair out day

When we finally got some wind, we aready had the current again. One of those days for us. High Hook had 4 keepers. And the broken one won the pool witha 9lber. Lucky ones had afew keepers but a bunch had none.

should be better next weekend with better conditions

Check out www.rodgescharterbooking.com for info on charters Fri Sat and Sun.

Or call Scotty 732 692 9521 for more info on small group charters Mon-thurs
sailing until April.

Thanks

Sailed with Charters on sat and sun. Fishing Was Poor both days for us
Wish we had better to report.

Fri we got blown out

Sat every where we went we just had a scratchy, no come back type bites, with mostly shorts High hook had 3 keepers. The guys were sharp fisherman but they did not cooperate with us.

Sun we steamed to the offshore reef got anchored up and only had scratchy bite couple of keepers and a few shorts, shifted around ng, headed back to the sw and lost all anchoring conditions, No breeze like a lake. Coulndt keep even one anchor rope tight. too nice We only picked a few more keepers to 8lbs at the end of the day.

Hopefully will be better next week for us.

We will cont to fish Charters EVERY FRI SAT AND SUN for more info on charters fri-sun check out www.rodgescharterbooking.com. For charters Mon-thurs call Capt Scott 732 692 9521, or www.fishbandit.com

Great report!  I guess you can't win them all and the conditions certainly don't help.

Sailed fri and sat with the island current, much better fishing this week

Fri we sailed with small group fished to the south in brutal cold with strong nw.
Got a good pick on both drops keepers and shorts. We missed a lot bites with bouncing around. Tie for high hook, bob and dennis both had 7 keepers and fish of 10 1/2 and 9lbs were landed.

Sat 1/10 The tog chewed real good. High hook Andrew reeled in 17 keepers, witha 9lber Keeping 10. Mr juu and dain combined for 24 keepers on spinning rods retaining there legal limit. Few other limits and most other had 4-7 keepers, most nice size boxers. Fished in 80 ft, current only got strong in the pm.

For more info on charters sailing every fri sat and sun check out www.rodgescharterbooking.com and for small group charters moon- thurs call capt scott 732 692 9521 or check out www.fishbanditiv.com

Had Maryland fishing club on board the Island Current.

Headed out to alot more wind then we thought. With the tide against them they were steep. Set up just had a pick, 9lber by mr shin #2. picked at some keepers and shorts but a tough bite. Perfectly trimmed small grennies worke best.

When the tide changed and went with the wind the seas laid down , but the CURRENT forget it it. 30oz and you were still off the stern Honestly
Had to get snagged to stop your dinker to get a bite.

Went inshore where 16 oz held and caught a few more keepers and shorts.

Good life on everything though just tough cond cant wait to be off the moon.Around 30 keepers total today. high hook was 6.

For more info on charters sailing Every Fri Sat and Sun, check out www.fishbanditiv.com or call capt scotty 732 692 9521. Small charter available mon-thur. We will be sailing until April.

Thanks

Fri we did not sail with the frigid temps and wind.

Sat we headed out with the island current under ARCTIC conditions. Every where we went we had a scratchy bite , just enough to keep it interesting,
Some life at every spot but not good. Nj own Big al and stelly tied for high hook and Al took the pool with a fish around 10lbs Everyone worked hard for what they got with a tough bite. Stelly runer up Very Nice having a great crew from nj aboard. Lots o fun at dinner fellas.

Sun we headed out, another blown forecast . Became very evil out. made one drop, sea just were getting worse. Decided to head back to the barn instead of beating everyone up and let everyone come back on a nicer day.
Wish it was otherwise but...

Thanks again guys

Headed out with a small charter, Birthday Boy stelly aboard,

Finally some of the Delaware sized we have seen in the past. Game on with nice size fish. Good bite worth waiting for the size fish on the other end.

We had 21 fish that broke the 10lb mark on the scale. 6 broke 12lbs, 1@14lbs and 1 @ 15.3 LBS.

Jt had the hot hand 9 keepers including the 15lb slob, 11lb, 10lb, 2 8lbers and the rest over 4lbs.Mr shin# 2 had the 14lber and a 12.Bobber landed an 11lber and an 8lber. Jackson had his personal over 12lbs and a nice cooler full. Andy and friends had 3 over 10 up to 12+ with a healthy cooler of 4-8lbers.

The BIRTHDAY BOY WAS QUIET TODAY, but managed to get one over 12lbs and a few keepers.

Great day on the water with calm seas, nice after the beaten yesterday.

Thanks guys
