Black Hawk

Heather at The Blackhawk office reports, “as much as we don't want the summer to end, we're looking forward to the fall fishing season! This was a good week of summer fishing, with plenty of porgies, a good number of triggerfish, sea bass, and fluke rounding out the coolers.  We had lots of kids on board this week, soaking up the last bit of summer before school starts.  Congrats to all these young anglers who had some great catches this week and a few pool winners too! We had a great trip with The Fallen Outdoors on Monday night. It's always a favorite for us.  We'd like to thank all the veterans for their service, and thanks for coming to spend the evening with us.  They caught their fill of porgies then headed out for some blues and even had some keeper striped bass in the mix. We had our a beautiful night for our sunset cruise on Saturday.  Thanks to all who joined us.  We have another trip next week.  Grab your tickets and get out there to join us!  As always, these are fundraisers for local community groups, so come enjoy a night out on the water and help some great causes too! Congrats to Bryan H. who was the winner in our Captain Scott's Saturday drawing. He won a $25 gift certificate to Capt. Scott's Lobster Dock in New London just for joining us on a Saturday trip!  We had a great time with these giveaways this summer!  Stay tuned for some more from other local businesses this fall!  Also congrats to Danika M, who won our weekly Summer Food Drive drawing.  Her trip will be refunded, just for bringing some food/beverages for our food drive! Thanks to all who brought food for our food drive! We continue to fish every day, so get your tickets and come join us! Our schedule changes August 31, so check the website, grab your tickets, and join us!”

Heather at The Blackhawk office reports, “We had some ups and downs this week with Mother Nature, but overall a good week of summer fishing! As usual, lots of porgies with some sea bass, triggerfish and fluke filling in the coolers as well. The highlight of the week was our Thursday fluke trip; it was what we'd been waiting for! The first drift we had three fish over 7 pounds, the next drift several keepers and a 9-pounder, and then the third drift, an 11-pounder! From there on, we picked on the keepers and shorts, with bent rods all day. Plenty of scup, and some sea bass and triggers to fill in. We had our annual WARM Center sunset cruise on Saturday night, and, while Mother Nature didn't cooperate with the sunset, we did see some seals and enjoyed a nice night out on the water for a great cause. We have two of these trips left, grab your tickets and join us! Congrats to Therese F, who was the winner in our Captain Scott's Saturday drawing. She won a $25 gift certificate to Capt. Scott's Lobster Dock in New London just for joining us on a Saturday trip! We're enjoying partnering with small businesses in our community for these giveaways! Also congrats to Dawn W, who won our weekly Summer Food Drive drawing. Her trip will be refunded, just for bringing some food/beverages for our food drive! Don't forget, we've got one week left for this food drive! Help us help our local community this summer! We continue to fish every day, so get your tickets and come join us! Bring the kids before they go back to school! We also have a few more sunset cruises coming up, so plan on joining us! These trips are all fundraisers for our BlackHawk and the Community program, so grab your tickets and join us for a great night for a good cause!”
