Black Hawk

Heather at The Blackhawk office reports, “The action continues to be red hot aboard the Black Hawk! We had some great pogy fishing all week, with some nice sea bass in the mix as well. We had a great time on our kids trip on Saturday afternoon, with the kids catching porgies all afternoon. Another great kids trip, thanks to everyone who joined us, especially our new friends from Ohio, who made the trip and were happily reeling in the porgies all day! The bluefishing remains excellent, with anglers exhausted and sore after reeling in the giant bluefish we've been catching! We'll continue to bluefish on our After Work Special trips on Fridays, and our Sunday afternoon trips. Our "Christmas in July" fireworks cruise on Saturday night for Celebrate East Lyme Day was wonderful! Thanks to all who joined us for the trip!  We filled a van with toys, and had four big boxes of books as well.  The fireworks were fantastic, and everyone enjoyed a night on the water.  Join us for our next sunset cruise on July 27th.  These trips are all part of our Black Hawk and the Community program, and we're honored to be able to help the community in a meaningful way. New tickets for each week will be posted online on Monday night at 8 p.m., just like in past years.  Be sure to check out our calendar so you see what's coming up! We look forward to seeing everyone soon!”

Heather at The Blackhawk office reports, “While some trips earlier in the week were a little slower than we'd like, the majority of the fishing this week was excellent!  Loads of jumbo porgies, some nice sea bass in the mix, and even some mackerel on a trip or two.  Our Saturday afternoon family fishing trip was fantastic, with a great group of kids and families joining us catching porgies all afternoon.  These are some of our favorite trips: let's get the kids out fishing! Our bass/blues trips and After Work Special and weekend trips were again excellent.  Friday night's trip started off with the bass, but after a few drifts... the blues moved in, fast and furious!  The remainder of the trip was spent with arm weary anglers reeling in big blues!  A fantastic night on the water! Our Sailfest fireworks cruise on Saturday night was beautiful, the rain cleared out just in time for a beautiful night on the water.  The fireworks were fantastic, and we collected a van full of diapers for the Riverfront Children's Center.  Join us for our next fireworks cruise for the Niantic fireworks this Saturday.  We'll be back to our sunset cruises on July 27th.  These trips are all part of our Black Hawk and the Community program, and we're honored to be able to help the community in a meaningful way. New tickets for each week will be posted online on Monday night at 8pm, just like in past years.  Be sure to check out our calendar so you see what's coming up!”
