“Our last couple trips enjoyed some good sea bass, tog and big porgy fishing,” said Capt. Nick Caruso of the Ol’ Salty II. Nick said hopefully November will not be a losing month like October was and the weather gods will bless us with a good month of weather for what we hope will be some good fishing right up to Thanksgiving Day and into December.

“We got a trio of bottom fishing trips in this past week,” cited Capt. Nick Caruso of the Ol’ Salty II. Nick told us he put anglers into some good sea bass fishing along with some tog, triggerfish and other ground fish. He said it was nice to see some tog showing up and hopefully they will still be there when the bag limit goes up in mid-November. Nick said he will be staying with the bottom fishing until the bass fishing gets strong then switch go them and then tog in November when the bag limit goes up. He also mentioned that he will keep on trying to go offshore for tuna if Mother Nature starts behaving herself.
