Golden Eagle - Thursday Mackerel

[captainrich]

The MACKEREL fishing was ok today - it took us a while to locate them but once we did we were able to bang away at doubles & triples on some long drifts

The weather for tomorrow looks good for fishing and we will be sailing at 7:30am - so if you want a shot at the MACKEREL come tomorrow or you are going to have to wait until the middle of next week.

Saturday, Sunday & Monday's weather will keep us at the dock - the next fishable day after tomorrow is looking like Tuesday or Wednesday - keep checking the web site for updates

The GOLDEN EAGLE is sailing daily for MACKEREL at 7:30am weather permitting.

See you onbaord

How far did you have to chase them Capt.?

Probably an innocent question but don't think a party boat captain or any captain is going to tell you how far from port he had to go to locate fish, especially mackerel. If the captain answers honestly, they'll be twenty boats there tomorrow between commercial and recreational. If he lies, you'll be pissed off. If you love catching mackerel, hop on board the fare doesn't change based on how far they have to run. If not, it doesn't matter how far they had to run.

Good point. I should have worded that differently. I wasn't looking for him to burn a spot, just wanted to know how long of a ride to find them.
