Capt. Frank reports the fishing continues to be excellent for just about everything right now. Tuna fishing rebounded in a big way after the slow trip last week with an excellent catch of nice Yellow fin up to 80 lbs. A few other notable catches including Ginny Reed's behemoth 63 lb Albacore and a healthy congrats to Artie Bluemer who decked his first ever Swordfish, a fine keeper of just over 100 lbs. Tuna fishing continues through the end of October as per the sailing schedule on the web site, please call the office to book a rail position as there are still plenty of spots available on most upcoming outings. Porgy fishing continued as good as it gets all week with most anglers having no problem capturing their limits of these fat feisty silver salt water pan fish. Sizes to over 3 lbs on most days with most fish over 1 lb. Varying numbers of sea bass mixed in from day to day with some nice size stuff up to 4.5 lbs this past week. An assorted scattering of other cellar dwellers on most porgy outings including big blue fish, trigger fish, tatoug , a few nice fat groundskeeper cod fish, ocean perch and even an occasional Striped Bass. Porgy fishing continues daily through October 15th, the season is short so strike while the iron is hot!! Capt. Rich was out after cod fish Wednesday and Friday this past week. Wednesday featured some nice cod up to 30 lbs to go along with a bunch of scup, sea bass, ocean perch and blue fish. Friday saw great weather and AWESOME cod fishing.
