I had the Brandon Logigian/Chris Mercer Charter out today for a combo Blue & Fluke Charter out of Hampton Bays NY. Loaded up the live well with Steve B. this morning and put 250 live killies in the well by 5:30 AM. Met the boys at the marina by 6:30....and they were all ready to go....working on no sleep as they were out all night partying. Started off trolling by 7AM and imdeiatley had 4-6 lb blue fish in the boat...Kept 17 or so for the table and the guys let us keep a few for sharking later in the week. Switched up to fluking early around 9AM and quickly hit a body of shorts....rods were bending.... and we released 20 or so....put 1 in the box at 21 inches. Last of the incoming was a little slow....and we waited for the tide to turn...good conversation all around......
Beginning of the outgoing the fishing really heated up....and we hooked up with another 25 short fluke 16-19 inches which were released.....
We boated 3 more keepers... Collin landed the largest going 7.80 LBS that screemed off the 14lb braid like a freight train.... We also lost a monster over 10LBS boat side as we had line failure on 20LB test and the drag was set a little to tight.....my bad on that! Great day on the water and an awesome charter group of guys! Looking forward to taking them offshore on the next charter! Thanks Brandon, Chris, Pat, Danny, Pete & Collin!
