On the King Cod VII out of Captree I heard from Capt. Joe who said that ocean blackfishing was up and down this week. Thursday saw the best trip of the season with multiple large blackfish between 7 and 8.4 pounds. Most anglers went home with a couple or three nice fish to go along with plenty of short life. Things slowed down some again towards the weekend when shorts again dominated the catch. The boat will be sailing every day weather and interest permitting at 6 a.m. until the end of the blackfish season. They are looking forward to a good month as waters finally start to cool below 60 degrees on the south shore grounds. Text Capt. Joe at 631-605-1404 with your name, day and number of spots needed to reserve.

On the King Cod VII out of Captree I heard from Capt. Joe reported that the ocean blackfishing was fair on the reefs when the boat got back out after the mid-week blow. Fares saw keepers to 7 pounds, just not enough yet. Sulio from Captree Bait and Tackle was onboard Saturday and managed two nice keepers to go along with a pile of shorts released. There has been some XL triggerfish, and a handful of keeper sea bass mixed in. Fishing is definitely on the upswing. A few more cool nights and dropping water temperatures should heat the fishing up rapidly. The boat is locked and loaded with the finest crabs available. They sail daily 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. from the far right side of the dock. Crowds have been very light during the week and the weather forecast is looking good. Text Capt. Joe at 631-605-1404 to reserve.
