Friday’s good Striper fishing continued right through the weekend. Saturday we started out by jigging up some Mackeral in front of the canal, but unfortunately the live bait bite wasn’t as good as Friday. We ran down to Billingsgate and found good numbers of Bass right on the shoal. There was a very good bite on rigs, but since we had a family with four kids on board, we didn’t want to put out the wire. This probably resulted in less overall fish than we could have had, but with a little extra time and switching a few things around, all the kids got plenty of fish. Sometimes you have to give a little extra time, but you do what it takes to get the job done.
Sunday the bite on the Shoal was very good, and we got alot of fish with mini-rigs trolled on lead-core line. The troll bite was constant, and lasted all morning – not sure of the fish count, but it was solid. Right after the tide turned, all the fish came up and we put the troll rigs away for some light tackle casting. Grabbed a bunch of fish on the spin gear, and even got a couple of nice ones on 12 lb test. Just a great time with fish and birds busting all around the boat.
Back out there tomorrow with a morning and afternoon trip. Give a call for availability – right now we’re booked 20 of the 30 days in June, but we definately have some afternoon trips available.
