What are they going to do, lock us all up as criminals, take our boats Imagine the news getting hold of this, the phone video's as we are lead away in cuffs. Any Fisherman interested in a nice night out with your bride, we are now booking the Famous Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Cruise.
There were plenty of big fish out there we had some super readings on the fish finder and had them swirling around the boat a few times but we only picked at them. By the end of the trip we did catch some nice Stripers and lost a few from 30 to 46.5 lbs.
The action was better then yesterday with mostly shorts but some nice size keepers mixed in. Dae Kang from Staten Island had a good morning with a pair of nice size fluke.
Once set up, it took about an hour for our first bite which turned out to be a nice blue shark around 225 .
The chance to get together with veterans of conservation wars of the past was too good to miss, so I sailed out with Tom Fote, Mark Taylor, Bruce Vitale, and Dr. Eleanor Bochenek as Capt. Chris ran to a wreck where mate Alex was constantly unhooking sea bass of all sizes. The BarbGail IV is a charter boat, but Capt. Chris takes individual reservations on other days.
Maybe a few showers tomorrow but it looks like they dropped the wind down to NE 10-15 knots. Make sure you have a rod and reel that can handle big fish 30 to 50 lbs.
