I have been busy in some different directions this past week so I apologize for the late reports. Here is the breakdown:
Newport is producing some very nice fluke in close since we were blessed with so many great days to fish. Strong south winds forced us to turn some of our Newport bass trips into fluke trips. Fortunately, there were many keeper sized fluke all close to shore and allowed consistent action. Chartreuse teasers were the go to color along with white Spro jigs.
The upper bay still has plenty of bass working. Today, I was able to find the fish, stay on top of them (was not hard since the drift was only .5 kts) and get other captains to help their clients get fish. While the average fish was about 31 inches, it was very consistent and when you mix in nice bluefish, well it just becomes a good day.
There was a push of peanut bunker in the bay, good signs for things to come. Cut bait was the ticket for those dunking meat, and good old hopkins lures did just fine for the larger blues. This heat is causing the temps to rise so if you plan on getting some striper action anytime, you better get out there sooner than later.
