This weeks early report - due to another Gale warning I will not be fishing the usual Thursday and Friday.
Stripers continue to be caught but keepers are becoming harder to come by as this is the norm for late season bassing. Thankfully , blackfishing has been very productive with "drop and reel "type fishing with some black fish hitting 9.5lbs [ we had a few bigger fish break us off ] with most keepers running 2-5lbs.
I got a chance to fish with my "lil' bro " Ryan and Friend Brian Schmidt aka Schmidty for stripers and blackfish on a last minute cancellation .
We started off slow but finished strong with 10 stripers [2 keepers ] and non stop action with blackfish to 9.5lbs.
Wow is it me or does it seem like this years calender seems to be missing a few months ? How can it be December and near the end of the 2009 Reel Fantasea fishing season ? What a great year of camaraderie and fishing with all of you ! I count my blessing everyday being able to do what I love to do and share in the fishing experience with such wonderful people who are as passionate about fishing as I am, my only wish is that you all enjoyed your time as much as I did ! I continue to be a student on every trip and keep an open mind on new ideas and tactics to hopefully bring industry excellence of "action and catch" to this endeavour of mine and hope that I have communicated that only 120% effort on my part will do and through that you may have become better fisher people or at least have enjoyed your fishing experience . ..
Although the weather kept us on our toes most of the year when it cooperated , the fish did as well. With a great Blackfish bite going presently and weather permitting I will be closing out the season with blackfish , these trips will sail on weather windows only on Thursday and Fridays anyone interested in joining open boat trips shoot me an email or call . Give the gift of fishing ! I have gift certificates in any amount for the 2010 fishing season for that special fisher person in your life - Hey, it beats a "Snuggy" or "Chia Pet" any day and you don't have to deal with Mall traffic or parking. This years winners of Reel Fantasea Charters season long Tournament are regulars Wayne Salvi and Jay Simmons. Wayne is Grand Master taking 3 total top spots for biggest striper , bluefish and biggest fluke while Jay takes the biggest weakfish category . Congratulations Guys -,remember top weights are good for 1/2 off 5hrs back bay trips or a free open boat trip. Remember all those who book trips are eligible and entered for the tournament . Can Wayne be unseated from his throne in 2010 ? Did your Reel Fantasea experience meet your expectations , was there something you may have preferred to do ? As I strive for excellence any feedback both positive and constructive would be appreciated. If you were completely satisfied and fully enjoyed your fishing experience , I will be adding a " Customer Testimonies" page and would love to add your feedback and or quote . My sincere Thanks to all of those who have chosen to fish with me this year and I hope to see all of you again next season ! I wish you and yours a wonder and blessed Holiday Season and healthy happy New Year, stay in touch !
Best Fishes
