Bill....Bill...

Sorry for the lack of updates but it has been a hectic couple of weeks. Hurricane Bill passed offshore and did not have much effect other than a big swell and surf off the eastern beaches. The bass fishing continues to be great on non commercial days. I had Carmen and his family out for an evening charter last week and we just hammered keeper bass all evening long on light plastics and plugs.
Tuna fishing has been up and down. Most of the action seems to be later in the day vs early. My lower unit gave up the ghost last week and I was down 4 days out of a 5 day booked week! Fall is coming shortly and we will be out on the hunt for bluefin on LT and fly for the rest of the season. I do have some bass trips booked here and there but it seems most folks got tuna on the brain this time of year.
While my boat was down I decided to try my hand at lobstering and obtained my 10 pot license. I have the traps now and working on getting them all put together so that we can pull a few at the end of our charters so that customers can have a few to take home. ....
I have a film crew from Germany showing up soon and we hope to get enough footage for a dvd and magazine article....Looking forward to fishing with these guys and more so seeing the finished product produced!
Till next tide...
