The wind kept the boats in, but when it wasn’t blowing fishing for blackfish was great. Summer flounder season is almost here, and the biggest of the season will be in the bay when the season opens. It’s time to book your trip for the summer season.

Donald. Sorry you had a tough trip. A small charter boat does not have the room of a head boat. Plus the northeast wind blowing at 20+ MPH made Fishing difficult. We did catch about 30 small fish which is about how the other charter boats did the day of your trip. Thanks for your review.
