Fishing Reports

The first night blue trip of the year was an astounding success.  We ended the night with 20 blue fish, and 1 monster stripped bass.  The Blue's ranged from 8 to 13 pounds, and the Stripper was a cool 30 pounds.   

With 25 anglers on board (our maximum amount of passengers allowed for these specialty trips) the fishing was comfortable and effective.  Even with everyone on one side of the boat, there was plenty of room at the rail.  We used herring for both our chum brine, and our chunk bait.  We scouted the harbor itself, but ended up making our first couple of drifts out at the groaner buoy approximately 1/2 mile outside of the Dog Bar Breakwater, weaving our way in and out of the multitude of lobster pots located in that area.  Using 8 inch steel leaders with 7/0 barbed hooks and 4/0 swivels, provide just enough sink to get the baits a couple of feet down into the water column, placing them right in front of the fish's faces. 

Keep an eye on the specials page that is located on a link off of our home page for updates on our next blue trips to come.  We are running one on Friday night of this week, August 13th, from 7:30-12:00pm, so keep your eyes open for any changes, or call us to make a reservation.  Make sure that if you are planning on attending, you make a reservation, because we are only booking up to 25 passengers, so space is very limited, and going fast. 

Best Wishes, and Happy Angling,

Captain Mike Mann, and the crew of the M/V Lady Sea
