Golden Eagle Fishing

“The bluefishing switched around big time before the weather caught up to us in the second half of September,” cited Capt. Rick Falcone of the Golden Eagle. That switch was from artificials to bait with good numbers of slammers, bonito and albies along with some big sea bass being caught in the chum slick. Rick said it’s a good bet that pattern will continue into October unless the weather changes it. He added that the boat will continue its weekly tuna trips until Columbus weekend, weather permitting and spots are available on these trips while they last..

Another boat captain that told us it was a very good week of fishing was Capt. Rich Falcone of the Golden Eagle. He said that while the bluefish action was good one day and slow the next, when it was hot it was a real mad dog bite. In addition to the mixed size blues bonito, albies to 4 pounds and Spanish macs also came over the rails on most days. He also mentioned some decent fluke and sea bass fishing that put some variety on the decks. Rich said his mahi trip was successful and the boat will be fishing overnight offshore this week.
