Sunrise Fishing Charters
12/1 We have concluded the 2011 season.It was a busy season
thanks to our customers.Most recently our Blackfish trips
yielded over 500 Blackfish with 180 Keepers.Most trips enjoyed
warm temps but windy days meant challenging sea and anckoring
conditions.The start of our Season saw plenty of Fluke around
with keepers to 7.5 lbs,with sandeel explosion in late may ,jigging
Stripers quickly overshadowed Fluke fishing and we never looked
back,for 3 weeks in June they camped on edges of MT misery
shoal and Sunken Meadow Dropoff.Drifting Live Eels became the
way to go for the Bigger Bass during June Full Moon period the
fishing actually lasted 2 weeks with Stripers to 29lbs taken Day
and Night.July was a disappointment the live Eel fishing in the
80-90 ft depths never materialized at which time we switched to
chunking.As we got into August Chunking had Steady results
with Keeper Bass on every trip this fishing lasted in October with
Big Blues stealing the show at times.Our total Bass results were
244 Bass,166 Keepers 18 fish 20-29 Lbs.472 Bluefish to 15 lbs hit
the decks this year as well as 270 Porgies most of which were Big
ones over 12 inches .Seabass were a dissapointment with only a
few during summer months some nice ones during the October
closure.We will be Starting our 2012 Season in Late April See you
then!
