Tough weather week with strong North- North East winds along with the waning of
the Moon made for extreme currents and sloppy conditions . Regular Joe Franke
was out for the best of the weather and fishing conditions where he landed 4
stripers and missed what appeared to be the best fish of the day when it came
unbuttoned. The next day regulars Wayne Salvi, Sean Castle and Mike Weber
teamed up for what was supposed to be an open striper/bluefish/wreck trip but
the ocean started to get caught up to the stiff North wind creating a higher
than forcasted sea condition . We managed only a short striper along with a few
bit off spots and one nice throw back fluke . The strange thing was you could
see large blues swimming in the waves as they were lifted into the air creating
a " window pane " effect , but they were just not very cooperative. Not to worry ! The weather we are experiencing should actually kick
start the Fall fish ing as things calm down biginning early next week .
I have 2 spots open [ 1 committed ] for this Thursday Oct 23rd- The trip will
be the last open boat of the year as the rest of the calender is booked . We
will be targeting stripers/blues/and wreckfishing .
