The Fishing
May and June:
During this time of the year as the ocean waters begin to warm, cobia, spanish mackerel, and king mackerel migrate through our waters. Some of the cobia can go 80 pounds or more, which makes for some exciting sight casting!
July and August:
Bring the little ones for an introduction to saltwater fishing! Bluefish, spanish mackerel, and tasty bottom fish are the fare of the day, with the occasional cobia or shark appearing for mom and dad. Full day charters can enjoy exciting trolling and wreck fishing for jacks, cobias, king mackerel, triggerfish, and seabass.
September and October:
These months mark the beginning of the fall migration of king mackerel and false albacore and provide great sportfishing. We sometimes land both on light tackle using small live baits when conditions are favorable.
November and December:
Wrap up the year with everyone’s favorite: the striped bass in the ocean! November marks the start of their migration down the coast to winter in our waters. Some of these fish will weigh 40 pounds or more, with the average weight being 15-20 pounds. Catches of 16 or more fish of this class are common. Big bluefish can be mixed in with them for a ’reel thrill’!
