FISHERMEN/FISHERIES MISMANAGMENT
- Details
- Written by: Capt. Ron
What an absolute joke the fisheries service is!
What actual service are they performing and for whom? Certainly not the benefit of the fisherman.
Once again here we are tied to the dock because of poor managment. Who actully thought closing the Fluke season on the 25th with basically nothing to fish for till Oct. 1 was a good idea? Why couldn't Sea bass have opened up when fluke closed? at least give us a chance instead of being tied to the dock! Would 5 days have destroyed the species?
We had a charter yesterday, had to toss back over 300 Sea Bass, many floated away, many got eaten by the birds, customers got to eat none. How the hell is that fair or right.
I hear talk of better Sea Bass regulations coming... are they going to open it May 1st instead of the middle of the month? Still going to leave it at One fish for the summer, close it for another month then open it a week after fluke closes?
You can imagine why many of us have had it, it's not only Sea Bass, it's every dam species out there.
Don't tell me we could go bluefishing, that's bullshit. The boats bluefishing are carrying not many customers either and been doing it all summer. Fish for 1 keeper blackfish? Catch & release at $90, I don't think so.
The lost days that turn into weeks by the end of the summer never get returned or taken into consideration, another joke.
Here it is a gorgeous Sunday the end of September and only 2 customers showed up today, there were enough for 1 boat out of 5 to make it out in the Harbor.
With the Official Sea Bass opening on Wednesday and crap weather coming again this week, maybe Friday we will be able to make it out. Sad what this once flourishing industry has come to. I know exactly how the mom & pop shops, hardware stores and any other small business feels, we are all in the same dam boat with-out any paddles.

Decided to close out the Fluke fishing today.
Running all over the ocean to catch a hand full of fish isn't my idea of good fishing. We start bottom fishing on Sunday same 3/4 day schedule. We have Clams for bait.
7:30-2:30pm. Open Boat, No Reservations. Fare is $90, Rod Rentals $20.
See you on Sunday, Capt. Ron

FISHERMEN/SATURDAYS REPORT

- Written by: Capt. Ron
Morning didn't start out so well, once again the Red in the morning is no joke!
Made our way out looking for short window to catch some fish. That didn't work out, headed back to calmer waters. Caught a handful of fish but it wasn't good, at least no-body puked and got to enjoy the beautiful day.
Going to be the same for tomorrow without the butt kicking. Bottom fishing soon...
7:30-2:30pm. Open boat, No Reservations. Fare is $90, Rod Rentals $20.
See you in the AM...Capt. Ron
FISHERMEN/FRIDAYS FLUKE FISHING
- Details
- Written by: Capt. Ron
The best part of today, it was a beautiful day.
I knew we were going to have to bounce around looking for a bite that we could stick with, we caught a couple fish here and there. Nothing that would keep us in the same area for more than 2 drifts.
Ended up with a couple handfull's of keepers by the end of the day, pool fish at 5 pounds.
Once again, I would not call it good fishing. Fish are moving out, not moving in and what we catch now are the lazy ones that didn't get the memo!! Remember all those weeks when I was saying "Don't miss the bite"? Well, here we are.
Bottom fishing soon, I'll post about that after the weekend....never want to lose hope!!
Back at it in the AM....Capt. Ron
