On Saturday the "Miss Beach Haven" with Captain Frank Camarda fished in some unseasonably nice weather and started the day with some solid fishing on mostly undersized fish. It was a nice mix of sea bass, porgies, triggerfish, and some black fish that bit on crabs. Pool winner was Art Wolf from Holgate.
On Sunday things were pretty much the same as anglers who brought along their own crabs quickly caught their one fish limit on blackfish. After trying several different wrecks looking for keepers, they found a nice pod of keeper porgies. With the sea bass season now closed, the "Miss Beach Haven will be saying for a mix of stripers, porgies, blackfish, and triggers.
Captain Fran Verdi on the "Drop Off" has managed to find a few stripers and says he will be running two types of striper trips for a while. He will run a 6-hour charter as in the past and then will be running 4-hour open boat trips. He hopes to run one trip in the morning and another in the afternoon. He will be fishing as long as a minimum of two anglers sign up.
