Ol’ Salty II

“We got in five trips this past week in between the storms and found some good bottom fishing,” said Capt. Nick Caruso of the Ol’ Salty II and Big Kid. He said one-fish limits of sea bass gave anglers plenty of action along with plenty of short fluke and a few keepers. The biggest fluke this past week was a 6-1/2-pound fish caught by Anthony Verrelli. Nick told me the boat will be doing a 40-hour overnight trip on Labor Day weekend for tuna and still has some spots open. The boat will also be doing overnight tuna trips every other week in the fall.

Fluke and bottom fishing remained good as August was winding down according to Capt. Nick Caruso of the Ol’ Salty II and Big Kid. He said his last five trips found decent numbers of short fluke and some keepers and very good sea bass and bottom fishing with a 8-1/2-pound fluke taking one pool. He added that everything was late this season and it’s reasonable to think we will have a good September.
