Black Hawk

Heather at The Blackhawk office reports, “Our Saturday night private charter was a bluefish bonanza! Blues were flying into the boat all night long, along with some nice bass, and several larger fish to 33 pounds that were released unharmed. A beautiful night with a great group! Our porgy fishing during the week remained up and down, with some customers on some trips getting their limits, and other trips on the slower, pickier side. Saturday showed some improvement, so we're looking forward to things to come as the season progresses. Congrats to 8 year old Gavin, who had a special catch on Saturday; a lobster! Our afternoon bass trips, both open trips and private charters, showed good bass fishing. Lots of slot sized fish, with some overs and unders released unharmed. We will continue these after work special trips all season, so grab your tickets and join us! Our calamari safari trip this week was good, with full buckets of squid all around the boat. Thanks to all who joined us for squid trips this week! We only have a few dates left for private charters for the summer, so email the office to get your date on the calendar! We look forward to seeing everyone soon!”

Heather at The Blackhawk office reports, “The story of the week was the squid. Wednesday night was good, with many full buckets and happy anglers. Saturday night, though, was hands down the best squid fishing we have ever seen on the Black Hawk! Double and triple headers is an understatement! Buckets were overflowing with some anglers filling four buckets! We even ran out of buckets and started filling fish baskets; just absolutely incredible fishing. You had to be there to fathom it. We're adding a squid trip for Wednesday night so grab your tickets and join us! Porgy trips during the week were up and down, with some Monday being the best of the week. Other days were slower, with some better hits of fish now and then, but overall not what we're hoping for at this time of year. Hopefully this warmer weather this week helps with that! The bass fishing, however, was excellent. Our private charters during the week did some combo trips where they spent part of the day porgy fishing and part of the day bass fishing, and they were not disappointed. Lots of big bass that were released, and several keepers within the slot limit was the story on these trips this week. Friday afternoon's ‘after work special’ was the same, with some nice keepers and many big fish. We're still booking some charters for the summer, so email the office to get your date on the calendar. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!”
