Lady Flamingo

Capt. Bob Weigand of the Lady Flamingo in Sheepshead Bay told me the bass and bluefish action has been sporadic with diamond jigs still being effective. Should at some point the gamesters decide not to hit the heavy metal, the boat will resort to other alternatives. Capt. Bob did ask that If you plan to come out during the weekdays, please call ahead. (646) 637-1447.

Capt. Bob Weigand of the Lady Flamingo in Sheepshead Bay told me that the blues action showed some improvement. Tuesday’s run saw exceptional fishing. On Sunday, the bite was slow in the morning but then the choppers started biting at the end of the tide. The best action has been around the inlet. If you plan to come out during the weekdays, please call ahead. (646) 637-1447.

The Lady Flamingo has a storied history in the fishing business running over the course of four generations (over 50 years). The boat is well kept, clean and comfortable with a spacious deck boasting plenty of room for fishing gear, coolers, etc. It also has clean ladies and men’s accommodations and freesafe parking back at the dock. To this day, the Lady Flamingo is the only boat in the area to specialize in diamond jigging. This was originally pioneered by Capt. Walter back in the 1960’s. Today, that method and quite a few new ones are used daily by third generation skipper, Capt. Bob Wiegand. There isn’t a boat around with a better reputation for catching top water species in the New York area than the Lady Flamingo.
