The winter has arrived. The Turkey has been served. Black Friday is over. The mad dash to Christmas Nirvana has begun and there’s only 1,2, 3, oh only so many shopping days left to buy everything you cant afford.
There has not been a huge amount to post. Just big catches of Sea Bass on offshore wrecks. Great opening days of Taug season followed by cooling waters forcing these fish offshore, but the catches are still there. The fishing has been fair. Its not amazing, its not guaranteed bag limits (all though those keep getting easier to achieve thanks to our fisheries management) Its fishing. The crowds have been light to moderate when we get out with 12-25 guys. Plenty of space.
The big question: Where are the Stripers? Well. They are here in Cape May, NJ. I know, there have been trips where we miss them. There have been other trips where we have seen huge 25-40 pound fish. Sadly, due to weather (the Westerlys and North East has sucked) coupled with small crowds, there have been fewer trips. More trips means more chances for catches. So stop waiting for the ideal moment and book a reservation. Last year, December was the month for Striped Bass and we intend to keep going through Christmas and New Years, weather permitting. The fishing reports are improving for Striped Bass, so come on down, go fishing, buy that American Girl Doll on Amazon between drifts, instead of fighting those crowds in the mall. The heat is on and we look forward to seeing you aboard.
