It’s that time when the boating season is just around the corner. I will attempt to touch upon all of the fish we pursued last year. The season started during the last week of May. Due to the fisheries regulations that were set by DEM we were allowed to take one striped bass per angler between 28 and 31 inches. During the latter part of most day’s we switched over to fluke fishing which provided us with a few nice doormats. By mid-June the sea bass were moving into our water’s that saved many a day. Not much action took place on the blue fish.
We began shark fishing during the month of June. To my surprise we had some very good days catching mako and sandbar sharks. The best day on mako’s was 5 sharks that were all tagged for research and released I thought that due to the lack of bluefish in our waters, it would have a negative effect on the shark fishery but I was wrong. A research person told me that because of the water temperature rising, his theory is that the water is too warm for blue sharks. That is why MA, NH and ME had a good year on blue sharks.
As many of you know, my boat is licensed to carry up to 16 passengers. Throughout the season I receive quite a few calls from individuals and couples who can’t afford a private charter and are willing to split the cost with other individuals. These charters are called open, split and mixed group charters. Ten passenger’s maximum on fishing trips. Sixteen passenger’s maximum on whale, lighthouse and turbine tours. If this type of trip interests you, I would highly recommend calling early to reserve space. During the fall months about 50% of my trips are made up by individuals. Other dates may be added as needed. You may want to click on each page on my website to find out more details.
Tuna fishing was very good last summer but I concentrated on the inshore species. If the tuna move inside a 30 mile radius from land, I will be targeting tuna again.
As you all know, black fishing is my favorite fishery. This past year proved to be everything one could wish for. It wasn’t all that cold and it wasn’t all that windy. Most groups came off the boat with a nice bag of black fish as well as sea bass. I will begin black fishing during the second week of September. Weather permitting; I will be fishing for blackfish and sea bass through mid-December.
