Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Sept. 23rd, 2013 As the summer season comes to a close and switches to the fall season we continue to see daily changes here at the Wharf with our fishing and our fishing efforts.Now it seems that there are fewer nice fish spread around the old grounds and the remaining fish seem to be much more sensitive to any adverse conditions that we may encounter on any given day fishing for them with less willing hungry fish around to bite in any of these difficult conditions.

For the first time in several weeks I am finding myself with an uncertain plan when I leave the docks in the morning as to where we just might end up fishing on that particular day given the conditions that we have, it's not quite as easy as it seemed a few weeks ago with fish being available in so many different depths. It is after all getting to be that time of the year where variety catch is more normal and even though we may not see the huge numbers with the Flounder on every trip it is still one of the best times of the year to fish and catch fish!Since my last report we had some pretty easy days where the fish bit well in fairly shallow water with a minimal amount of rig loss.

Capt. H. D. actually loaded up and came home a little early from his Long-Range Tile fishing trip this past weekend, The Croakers have been plentiful on the inshore charters and the Half-Day trips, and the Flounder continue to both please and frustrate anglers on a daily basis. Much unlike Capt. H's coolers full of fish I have spent the last 30 some days straight hunting down the Flounder and one of my favorite sayings when the folks bring the big coffin coolers to the dock is coolers are optional on flounder trips, you may not need one .

Throughout the uncomfortable weather we have still managed to see some of what I would call really decent Flounder fishing with my Full-Day trips and the Half- Day trips have been enjoying good action with the Croakers. For the last several weeks our Fluke fishing has been painfully slow at times but it has also been very consistent, all tolled since the middle of June when we started drifting primarily for the flatties we have landed just over 800 keeper flat fish which I don't think is too shabby considering the weather and some of the conditions that we had to endure.

Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report July 4th, 2013 Despite the constant Southerly wind that continues to plague our area seemingly day after day we have continued to see some decent fish catching action on both the Full-Day as well as the Half-Day trips here at the Wharf. Half Day trips have had continued success catching small to medium sized Croakers, Kingfish and small Trout along with various assortments of Junkfish providing good action for the Jr. anglers and the All- Day trips have seen some of the most consistent Flounder catching action of the season so far including several quality fish in the four pound range as well as numerous throwbacks keeping everyone attentive at the rail .
