Golden eagle - sunday - mackerel

[captainrich]

Capt Jim Elliott started MACKEREL fishing to day and he caught some MACKEREL along with a lot of HERRING - as he said we caught enough MACKEREL to make it interesting. Therefore, we will continue to be MACKEREL fishing everyday at 7:30am (WEATHER PERMITTING)

With that said, the forecast is for a lot of wind on Monday & Tuesday so we will not be able to fish, it looks like the next time the weather is going to let get fishing is Wednesday or Thursday. The best thing to do would be to keep checking the web site or give us a call and we will let you know about the weather.

For more information visit us at www.goldeneaglefishing.com or call 732-681-6144.

See you on board

I was on the trip and wound up with 13 mackerel and a ton of herring. It was worth it just for the herring. You could catch all you wanted using fire cracker rigs or sabiki rigs. I'm having a nice mackerel dinner tonight and made a load of pickled herring. Hopefully we will get a better shot at the mackerel. When we got 'em some were nices big ones.

Yes. I scale them first. 90% of the scales get removed in the cooler on the boat. Fill the cooler with salt water and keep rinsing if you can. Makes it easy later.
