IT’S TIME FOR OUR LEGENDARY ANNUAL “CABIN FEVER SALE’

FEBRUARY 17TH THRU FEBRUARY 26TH, 2012.

*10% – 30% OFF REGULAR PRICES !!!

Weekend Blackfishing report is as follows folks …

Ocean Blackfishing right now is at it’s Fall peak.
Most of the artificial reefs, wrecks, and hard bottom areas in the 50 to 60 foot range are producing fish.

Locations include: Hempstead Reef, McAllister Grounds, Atlantic Beach Reef, and Rockaway Reef.

There is an especially red-hot bite occurring in the Shrewsbury Rocks area and surrounding reefs.

We had reliable reports of 50 keepers per boat over the weekend although those boats adhered to NYS limit-laws.

Snafu and Reef rigs accounted for most of the damage, baited with green crabs.

As far as tide, it seems all you need is moving current.

Here’s Capt. Rob with a 7.5 lb. Blackie

taken on the good ship “No Mersi” off Montauk 11.2.11

Impressive fish.

NO MEANS TO WEIGH IT, JUST MEASURED IT AND

GOT HIM BACK IN THE WATER UNHARMED. THE 37″ ‘er WAS ON A BUNKER CHUNK LAYING ON THE BOTTOM ON A

GAMAKATSU 8/0 CIRCLE HOOK.

SO… THERE’S SOME BIG BLUES AROUND, FOLKS.

HERE’S LARRY WITH HIS PRIME EXAMPLE!

Decent quantity of Striped Bass moving into Long Beach piers/jetties.

Taking/preferring clams. Won’t hurt to throw a few poppers etc.

You should be able to hitch a few up … decent amount of fish down there.
