11 14 15 The wind howled again today but will die down tonight. We know of a number of guys already who were supposed to fish today but will be coming down tomorrow instead.
11 12 15 The weather has kept the bottom fish fleet at the dock for the past several days and will do so again tomorrow (Friday) with gale winds in the forecast. Hopefully the wind will diminish for the weekend!!
Once everything straightened out and we were able to stay on the pieces the guys enjoyed GOOD blackfish fishing for most of the day. The guys used green crabs all day today and we had no dogfish.
More blackfish today than yesterday for the guys using green crabs along with a pick of seabass on several spots. Big bluefish were on the grounds today as they made meals out of several blackfish.
Good seabass fishing once again. The blackfish did not chew today like they have recently but the seabass made up for it and the guys were all happy to take them.
Started the day looking for seabass but found that the dogfish had invaded the grounds we had been fishing. The guys switched to green crabs to get away from the dogfish and had steady blackfish fishing with a few seabass mixed in for the rest of the day.
Today the catch consisted primarily of keeper seabass with some porgies, big blackfish and several legal codfish which were the biggest surprise considering the depth we were fishing!Tom Hollywood Sr., Staten Island, NY, took the pool with a very nice 9 pound blackfish!
