This week the Bass bite has been good with Jim Foote, once again, with a couple of nice bass to 20lbs. live lining and Nicky Crumbs with a nice 21lber. while chunking. On the bottom fishing front, the bite has been fair but we are going for blackfish starting Fri. April 30th 8am-4pm and Wed., Fri. & Sat. after that. Sunday, will still be half day trips flounder/bass combos 8am-12pm & 1pm-5pm. On April 28th Wed. we will start our night Bass trips 6pm-11pm and every Wed., Fri. & Sat. night, after that (OPEN BOAT). Reservations recommended.
For those anglers that are serious about catching Bass we strongly recommend trying our early bird or early evening bass on the six pack or the light tackle boats. If you can put ten or more people together we would be glad to take as a open boat just give us a call with a day you can put it together 516-676-6361.

This weekend on the water was great! Fri. full day was fair with a couple of flatties and Sat. trips had some nice action. Sun. things slowed down a little. All and all, the flounder seemed to start biting a little better. On another note, we have seen some striper action towards the west and a couple of anglers managed to get together for a Fri. early trip with James Foote hooking up with a nice 25 lb.'er on a chunk. Sat. evening Mr. Foote got together with Albert and Tom to hook up with two bass of 22.5 lbs. and 12 lbs. Looks like we can get started with our open trips soon just check with our schedule at 516-676-6361.

Action was slow but the pools were settled! A.M. trip 14 fares 3 keepers, Frank Seibert with the 1st flounder of the year on his B-day and the pool winner, what a day to play Lotto. Afternoon trip, top of the in coming, gave us hope but no luck only one keeper for 15 fares, so mid-trip we checked a black fish spot out with only a couple swings and misses coming up short.
