Good Company
II
At certain stages of the tide we use
different methods for catching Blues and Bass. When the tide is
running hard we tend to fish in deeper waters since the fish have a very
hard time staying in shallow water where the venturi effect of deep
water meeting a shallow spot increases the speed of the tide to a point
where many fish cannot stay for extended periods of time.
Food is readily available to them in the deeper sections of water, so we
present our lures to them during this time. This method does
require paying attention to your fishing rod. The mate will be
right there helping you understand the methods in order to catch the
buggers!!
Seasons vary each year with frigid winters
leaving the water colder.
The effect of a cold winter on
the fish that appear in our waters
early, makes them become somewhat lethargic and less apt to
feed in a frenzy.
We still are able to catch but if
it's still cold it is not as good as when the water warms up a little.
Usually by the middle
of May this starts to happen and
Stripers show up in numbers and become the main attraction. You
can easily catch your limit at this time of year.
Mid June will bring more Bluefish
to the area as the ocean temperature rises,
but we still catch Trophy Stripers mixed in with the Blues. This
is the time when we begin to travel to Block Island and Montauk Point to
find said Stripers and Bluefish. Also this is a good time to try a
combination trip in which we fish for Stripers first, then target Fluke,
Black Sea Bass, and Porgies. Just ask Captain Joe or the
Secretary that answers the phone when you book your trip so we can
be prepared for a combination catch.
As
the season progresses we start to fish for Black Sea Bass, Porgies
(Scup), Fluke and Blackfish along with other bottom fish that take
our offerings.
We have a great time with the entire party
fishing at the same time. This tends to start a little camaraderie
between everyone. The result of bottom fishing during the season
is always good eating for our customers.
You will be talking about your experience on
The Good Company II for a long time.
