I had the pleasure to sail with Captain Tom Buban Sunday after hearing how well the flounder bite was on Saturday, I was excited to hook a few flatties, Well the rivers water temperature had dropped overnight and the water temp was about 44 degrees. The boat did manage a decent number of flounder but you really had to be patient the fish weren't nearly as aggresive as they have been. Crew worked hard and you really needed to chum heavy to keep the bite going.

It looks like Capt Carms plan to start Bass trips starting April 15th is right on last years schedule as more keepers have been caught off the local beaches lately. If we get decent weather the Bass will be in full feeding mode on clams. We have dates available but to be honest weekends are filling fast so call for available dates. We run 7 days a week. Times are some what flexible.
