Well the job of converting the “Miss Susie” from a twin engine to a single engine has turned out to be a lot of hard work. But we are making progress and in addition to the engine conversion we are also beefing up the structural frame work of the boat as well as installing new larger fuel tanks. We are also installing a brand new very comfortable toilet, as well as a sound system with 4 new good quality speakers and a stero that my i-pod will hook to. So look foward to great tunes in 2007 as well as great fishing.
If you are interested in a Spring Charter, the dates are nearly all booked up. So contact me asap. I still have 6 openings(dates) for the Catch and Release Pre-Season, light tackle trips. As for the catch and keep Trophy Trips, I have a few dates the week of May 14 to May 18. With the cold weather we now have, I think we should be catching the Trophy Fish at least through Friday May 18th. I also still have availability for the last two weeks of May. The year before last we caught the Trophy Fish almost the entire month of May and last year we had excellent light tackle chumming for Rockfish from 18″ to 38″. So reguardless of how quick it warms up this spring the last two weeks of May is a great time to get out on the Bay. We will start our PM Rock and Croaker Trips towards the end of May and this is a great time to book these trips as well, because Croaker are a strange fish. That is, they are nocturnal by nature, and the hotter the weather the more nocturnal they become. In other words they bite earlier in the afternoon in late May than they do in Mid July. This means that we will often times be loaded up with both Rockfish and Croaker and still be back at the dock at a resonable time (9 to 10pm). June is also starting to book up quickly for the evening trips.
I hope everybody is having a good winter,
