Pioneer III

With the fluke season now history the Capt. decided to look for porgy and bass. Weather on our side we headed for the tin can. Heavy porgy bite and the cooler was half full. With everyone in agreement the Capt. decided to look for sea bass. Found a few spots with just sea bass but contained a lot of shorts. Ended up with 6 keepers and called it quits and homeward bound we went. Great day on the water. Lots of bunker around with something chasing them at times. Black fishing opens next Sunday, so stay tuned for a report.

Well today was the last day to keep fluke in New York waters. On board today was: The Barker, Rebecca, The Legend, Jack Tom, Roger and Evz the first mate also our grumpy captain Andy who by the way was in a good mood. Did a half a loop today and continued to catch shorts. Although it was much better than the last 2 trips. The Barker led the way with 3 keepers which included the pool winner, followed by the Capt with 1. And that's it folks, nothing else to cheer about. FLUKE SEASON IS OVER. Thanks to the Barker for bringing out that delicious Kielbasa and rye bread. Yes we will do it all again next week but don't know what species we will be looking for yet.

The wind never stopped blowing until around 1 PM. Coming out of the north @ 15 to 20 didn't help the fishing. Hot rod and big bucks winner was the Legend with 2 keepers to 5lbs plus the first limit weakfish (23") on the Pioneer III this year. Roger put a nice sea bass in the box and Jigging Jack put in 2 cocktail blues. Big Tom, Rebecca, Evz and the Capt. tried all day but bombed out. Ken the Legend was nice enough to feed the Capt. and Evz tonight. We will be doing all again next Sunday which is the last day of fluking in New York waters.

On board today we had : The Barker, Big Tom, Roger, Ken the legend, Evz, Rebecca and Michael. Barker boxed three right away and slowed down for awhile and boxed 1 more for the day. He also pocketed the big bucks. Thanks for the Kielbasi again this week, hope you come out next week also. Everyone contributed to the catch with only 2 jeepers creepers awards today. Roger and the Legend had to wear the hat. Lots of laughs and great food. Doing it again next week.
