Mack Attack! What a day! Had a blast. The plan was to do a variety of techniques. Live lining, cast and jig on breakers and trolling for Macs. We put a dozen spot in the tank and off we went. Stopped at the bridge to live line, had a few hits and 1 run off but lost it. The birds were working South of us and I couldn’t take it anymore. Off to the birds we went. Loads of mainly 18 inch Rock. Moved around trying to find some keepers. Put a spot over while casting and jigging and sure enough, the drag starts peeling. Dave got it in and it’s a 21 inch rock fish. Sweet! We kept working with the birds and got 2 more by casting jigs. Awesome. We needed 1 more for a limit. Birds were all over the place but just couldn’t get anything to bite. We decided to troll and see if there are any blues. We put out 4 rods and couldn’t keep up with them! Finally after about 10 throwbacks a nice 20 incher. That’s a wrap for the Rock. Let’s go look for Macs. South bound and down we go. Got to where I wanted to try and didn’t see anything happening. No breakers. No boats. Just a few birds here and there sitting. We put out our 4 rod spread to see what happens. Nothing here let’s cut across and up. Few small rock at 5mph! Ok speed it up. Come up on a ledge and I turn as I didn’t want to be too shallow. Bam Fish On! It’s a Mac. Dave had never caught 1 before. Get it close and as I leader it in and go to swing over the side of the boat. Yup you guess it Dave still hasn’t caught 1! I lost it. That’s alright make a turn go back and fish on! Dave grabs the rod. I grab the net this time. Uh oh no Mac it’s a bluefish. Ok let’s try again. Few minutes later fish on! It’s a Mack and Dave got his first Spanish Mac! Yea mission accomplished! Now let’s see if we can get some more. Sure enough we worked the area over and got 8 total and lost some. It wasn’t hot and heavy but it was steady. The were concentrated in that 1 little area. Go North or South and nothing come back and fish on. Never saw a breaker or another fishing boat. Coming back in and birds are still working at the first place from the morning. I will say the rock that we caught today were pretty for sure. Fat and healthy. Hard to believe it’s mid August already. Summers almost gone. We still have a few dates available. Half day $350 can be AM or PM. Full day $450. Live lining, casting and jigging, and troll for Macs & Blues. If you want to do a specific technique just let us know. We always try to accommodate.

Got a message from Shelby Thursday evening asking if we had any openings for Saturday. Their previously scheduled charter cancelled due to weather and this was her boyfriends birthday trip. Well we did have an AM trip open. But with the wind forecast I explained that it was not at our normal location. When the winds push us off the main Bay we try to go to other areas where we are sheltered from it. Shelby agreed and a plan was set in motion. I had been on a good bite in this location for the past 2 weeks. We met at 6:30am and off we went. We got near the mouth of the river before the wind kicked up too much. We started out fishing shallow but couldn't find any willing participants. As the morning got brighter we switched over to a little deeper water. Finally Kyle the birthday guy got one. The skunk was finally off the boat. After a short while we got another. Looks like the fish had decided to sleep in some. Thats ok because I was starting to see signs of life around. Birds were moving around on the hunt and bait was starting to show up near the surface.Finally everything broke loose. Birds were working in a couple different pods. Bunker was flying threw the air and Stripers were slashing at the surface. Rods were bending over 2 and 3 at a time. We caught and released numerous Stripers up to 24 inches before we finally had to head back in. Everyone caught their personal best fish and some even caught their first. They even took a couple home for diner. The weather looks to be taking a slight warm up mid week. I expect the patterns to hold for some time longer. But don't wait book a trip. Don't be wishing lets get fishing!
