The big news over at the dock of the Keyport Princess was the 48-inch striped bass that was caught on a bottom fishing trip this past week. Capt. Victor Hartley said the big bass was a pleasant surprise, however this last week saw a trio of trips find some better bottom fishing dominated by ling, sea bass and keeper and short fluke thanks to water temps that are slowly creeping up. The boat will continue to target fluke and other bottom dwellers on its daily trips and also be fishing magic hour trips on Tuesday and Thursdays.
