Delaware looking for some big scales
Delaware looking for some big scales

We had a very nice group from Delaware today. Turns out they've been all over the country catching different fish so I knew that I had my work cut out for me. Being a day of a 25 mile an hour Nor'easter I knew I would not be able to take them and anchor up in my favorite spots to try to put them in the right area of fulfilling their dreams. So we tried trolling for the first part of the trip in the Backwater trying to hunt down some big drum and eventually gave up with no luck. With the water being so rough you could not see the fish and the birds could not either so they weren't much help. The second half of the trip we went to a little Hideaway spot tucked up between two islands with a 16 foot deep Slough running through the middle. Hoping for the best we started doing some bottom fishing and caught a few different species of small fish but finally pulled in a very nice 13 in Sheepshead at which that time the gentleman began thinking he had the biggest fish. After fishing a while longer a female then caught a bigger sheep head then the party became more comfortable and started enjoying the trip I believe. Although we did not catch anything to brag about or have any big memories I still believe they had a good time and hope that they will give us another shot at it on not such a bad day. For not every day is a great day on the water but every day is a great day to be on the boat from the crew of the fishing taxi tight lines and God bless.

I mean yesterday we had a wonderful group from Richmond Virginia. We were attempting to have a wonderful day on a 6-hour trip but Mother Nature wanted to try this and she won. Heading out with already discussed that we wanted to go after something big and then then maybe drop back to the smaller stuff if the big fish were not helping. After getting out to our fishing grounds the ways were two to four foot in the Wind and Rain were just ridiculous but we attempted to make a go at it and after a couple hours we figured out that might not be the way to go. While trolling to a different area trying to go after small or fish each man was able to reel in one cutlassfish each. Getting an update from another Captain we picked up Bates and ran to another area that the fish were supposedly inviting but by the time we got there to fish and disappeared or stop biting. It was a very disappointing day for such a great group I really enjoyed there, sense of humor unfortunately we were not able to give them to catch that they were looking for. Although we do have days like this every now and then unfortunately it was a shame what to know did I did everything possible from running up to 12 miles to try to put them on some fish but not every fishing trip turns out with great memories. So this is Doug Sullivan captain of the fishing Taxi tell him the crew that I am very sorry and to not let this the first them from booking again because there are some wonderful trips that make great memories from the crew of the fishing Taxi tight lines and God bless
