Wow! It looks like I am the first post on this new section.
After numerous futile attempts to hook up with keeper bass from shore, I decided to go out on the Blackhawk for one of their porgy trips. It was my first time fishing for porgies.
The boat crossed over to Long Island, past Gardiners and Shelter Islands, all the way into the Peconic Bay. We anchored on top of a pretty good patch of fish. Everyone caught quite a few and some hit their creel limit, including me. A few bluefish were brought up, as well.
The new boat is fast and considerably larger than the old one.
The weather sucked - steady rain, heavy at times. The winds cooperated and the water was like glass. All in all a good day. Now, back to stripers.  |

| Greg was Captain. I've never been on that boat with a different captain. I usually go on the specialty trips, though, which I think he takes special interest in. |

| Anointed, you are definitely right. The last time I took a trip out on the Black Hawk was the first time that I have seen such poor fishing. It was also the only time that I have been out where Greg wasn't the captain. It was kind of frustrating when we were making the same drift and coming up empty handed every time. I understand its called fishing and not catching but I read reports from the day before and the day after that the customers were limiting out on bluefish as Greg was the captain. |

Nice!!!
I was wondering how the new boat is. I have a mystery $$ off coupon from when they had their customer appreciation party that expires at the end of June. Perhaps a bunch of us could meet? It'd have to be a weekend though for me, got that "have to go to work" thing during the week.
