Down Deep Bull Bottom Fishing Report

We had a nice group of guys and gal the sea bass fishing was tough yesterday due to the moon. The fish weren’t in the same place they had been. It should get better as the week goes along however the jumbo ling were active and big blackfish that all went back to swim another day. Fishing should be real good toward the end of the week. Pick a nice day and come on out. We want to thank everyone for sailing with us.

Down Deep Bottom Fishing Report

The bottom fishing has finally picked up. Sea bass and ling. Beautiful knuckleheads up to 18” and jumbo ling mixed in. The water warmed up so the fish are biting very good now.

Down Deep Bull Bottom Fishing and Striper Reports

This is the last 3 days report. We had a great group of guys on every trip. We saw Stripers up to 45lbs. If you’re looking to catch a trophy Striper this is the time now. Big fish running around now and the bottom fishing, the ocean water temperatures are still cold making it tough for sea bass however the jumbo ling and blackfish was pretty good with guys going home with bags of beautiful tasty ling fillets. With these warm temperatures the next few days the water should be warm enough for good sea bass fishing. We want to thank everyone for sailing with us. Pick a nice day and come on out. Get off the couch and let’s go fishing.
