Well, Little Sister came out of the water last night after her last two trips of the year. The morning trip was a complete disaster with only 7 flounder for 5 people which made that the worst trip since May 7th! The only thing I could figure was the fish "shut down" from the northwest winds (high pressure) of the day/night before.
If you don't realize how severe those winds were, my friend Armindo's boat sunk at about 10pm Wednesday evening. The NW wind kicked up the waves and they sloshed into his boat until his bilge pump burnt out and it did not take long from there.
In any case, about the end of the mornings trip we saw what life we did see and it looked like the fishing was picking up but I had little hope for the afternoon trip and let everyone know it. We went anyway and surprised ourselves with only 4 fish shy of the boat limit-a great way to end the season!
Little Sister is in the shop for the next week and will be fishing Westport starting August 1st. The boat is chartered on the 2nd and
Saturday, the 1st she will be running as "open boat" at $115/person. I have a couple of spots left for the first to call them!
