Well, ok, I am a day early as the Autumnal Equinox is actually tomorrow, but the last few weeks has seen the sea bass fishing about as good as it can get, better than most September's. I'm wondering if this signals an early winter this year, but I'll make the most of it for now.

Since my last update, we finished out the month of August with a couple of more flounder fishing trips. We had a pretty good blow here over Labor Day weekend, and that pretty well shut the flounder fishing down for the year, but it did get the sea bass going. Labor Day saw us land 140 keeper fish for the Scott Carey charter with a number of 2 pound plus fish. The Kirkpatrick family was down not long after that and they went home with their sea bass limit with a number of nice 3 pound fish.



The Wehr party was up next and in less than ideal conditions we put 60 fish in the boat in only half a day of fishing before heading for the dock. We were right on schedule for another big catch of sea bass had the conditions allowed.

The R&P Party found some better weather offshore this past Friday than what was on land when the local area got up to 11 inches of rain in 4 hours. Ouch. The rain hugged the coast so we didn't get it as bad offshore, and we experienced a fabulous bite getting them their limit of sea bass before the morning was out to near 4 pounds, along with a nice triggerfish and scup, as well.



The Sheehan party was down this week and had 140 fish, throwing back keepers before the day was out. Dave had the fish of the day at 3 pounds.

Fall fishing will continue as long as the weather allows, and we will soon be targetting the tog, as well, within the next 4 weeks.
