Golden Eagle Fishing

The chopper action this past week aboard the Golden Eagle bent a lot of rods with not only bluefish, but bonito and occasional Spanish mackerel. Capt. Rich Falcone said fluke and sea bass fishing was also good despite a few weather problems. Rich told me the boat will be starting its evening bluefishing this coming week leaving the dock at 7 p.m. He also said his mahi trip is full up and the boat will also start its weekly tuna trips in two weeks.

“We saw plenty of bluefish, with bonito, albacore and Spanish mackerel mixed in the second half of August ,” Capt. Rich Falcon of the Golden Eagle. I asked Rich the same question I asked several other captains about the fishing in September and he told me there are plenty of sand eels around and that could make the difference in the fishing in September.
