Weekend Wrap-Up January 17th and 18th Tough fishing for us this weekend. Its hard to believe with the good fishing we had Thursday and Friday that there no life in the area over the weekend.
It should be a lot warmer tomorrow, but with lots of rain in the forecast it should be a good day to watch football games. There were no reports today, which gives you a good idea about what's going on at this time.
The winter mackerel run was all we've had left, as the much bigger spring run up the coast has been such a failure for many years that skippers don't even look for them any more. When I questioned NOAA Fisheries about this last year they admitted their management plans indicating a healthy fishery were based on old data -- and noted that even the big commercial vessels with huge ranges hadn't been able to find mackerel.
We saw life on all of the drops today with nice size keepers and throwbacks. Richie from Belmar won the pool today with a nice white chinner weighing around 11 lbs!
In youth sizes we have pink, white and black t-shirts. With Miss Belmar's 3 engines and a total of 2,100 horsepower, she is the first boat to the fishing grounds every day and we guarantee it.
We had a number of fish over 10lbs with our biggest being a beautiful male for Tom at nearly 14 pounds. We easily limited out with beautiful fish today.
