Capt. Paul Ripperger and Captain Rachel Jannace Johnson of the Tide Hustle in Greenport gave me a call this weekend to report boat limits of blackfish to 6-1/2 pounds, and many keepers of black sea bass on both days with approximately 400 shorts each day. On Saturday, the boat was heading back to the dock with a boat full of happy smiling faces. On Sunday Capt. Paul’s daughter Veronica Ripperger was aboard scoring with a limit of blackfish and releasing 30 shorts. With the weather forecast calling for light winds and calm seas this entire week, I strongly suggest jumping on the Tide Hustle where Captain’s Paul and Rachel will bring you right where the blackfish live. The Tide Hustle is sailing from Brick Cove Marina in Greenport every day, weather permitting starting at 7 a.m. and returning back to the dock between 2 and 2:30 p.m. unless they are on an extended trip which returns at 4 p.m. The Tide Hustle is the newest addition of the East End open boat operation and is owned and operated by both Capt.
