Emergency Weather Postponement.
Fishing will Start Saturday Nov, 14th at 4 am and continue to Sunday Nov. 15th at 1 pm. I've been watching every weather report and Friday does seem like impossible fishing. In the interest of safety and sanity something has to be done. The weather looks great on Sunday and fishable starting Saturday. So I am going to just move everything back a day.

You can check in Friday and get as early a start as you wish on Saturday morning. I will be accepting entries and check-ins all day Friday until 8pm. I will open the shop for Saturday check=ins and late entries at 4 am. You can check in and submit late entries until 6pm as long as it is before you fish.

Saturday night the weigh in will go until midnight and Sunday morning I will open the shop at 5 am for bait. Final weigh in will be at 1 pm. And prizes will be awarded as soon as the winners can be calculated.

It's just another Nor'Easter screwing up paradise but we'll get through it and have fun at the same time.

November 13, The Tide is High and I'm moving on... This weather is completely impossible. The last weekend was great and the weather report for the week thru this weekend and the "Do it All Night" tournament was looking fantastic, then this hurricane decided to get into the act and screw everything up. Right now the tide is as high as I've seen it in quite a few years. It's just touching 6 am and it should be peaking right now. All the boats look ok and since this yard is higher than you would think it is still a long way from coming inside. Still I think there will be a lot of problems somewhere.

As far as the tournament goes, the weather report for Saturday still looks fishable even though I figure we will have a very high tide Saturday morning so there won't be much sense of getting too early a start. I don't expect a blitz but I know that there will be fish caught so someone will bring home the prizes. I would imagine we will be looking at some messy water so chunk bait is probably your best bet. I do have plenty of clams, I got lucky and ordered 20 bushels from the last boat out before the storm. I also loaded up with fresh bunker before the storm and have them sitting as cold as possible to keep them in the best possible condition. who knows when anyone will be able to get out and fish for bunker or clams.

Before the storm we were looking at some good Striper fishing. They were just about everywhere from the ocean to way way back in the bay with some real nice sized fish mixed in. I weighed in a few over 30 pounds during the week. I know I'm ready to get out again. I missed a whole week with a mix up over monday and tuesday's charters and the weather blowing out. I'm trying to sneak out on a sunday charter to do some experimenting myself. After that I have a big wholesale distributor show on Monday so I can stock up the store with all the latest goodies from all the manufactures,

Next on the agenda is to get this tournament running good and weigh in some fish. I'll post results and pictures as soon as possible.
