Island Princess In Captree; Last Trips Of Year

[RJ]

They sail their last trips of the year on Sunday at 7 a.m. and again at noon then of course 6 p.m.....

I plan on hitting the 7 a.m. trip and depending on how I do maybe sticking around for the noon time sail as well.

Who else wants to go (not a free trip) with me?? I'll TRY to get it set up so rods are in prime locale and all together...

RJ* I'd like to get out; I was thinking of going before Sunday but if a group is getting together* I'm in. One or both trips.

Jigs* 5 oz spoons? What should I bring? Also* I have the boat rods* what about a spinning set up this time of year?

[RJ]

BOat rods and leave the spinning gear at home. Bring some 4 to 6 oucne jigs just in case

RJ* Are you going to be going? If so* I'll be there. If not* I may catch a trip tonight to enjoy that cold moon!

[RJ]

I WILL be there...boat sail sat 7 a.m. and the jigging has been good!

See you there...

[mick2360]

Good. I'll leave my house at 4 am and see you at the dock. Any others?

[mick2360]

My schoolie...I finished with 10 I think.. with me is Tom the mate on the Island Princess

[mick2360]

No keepers but a great Day. RJ put me onto this boat some time back* it is one of my first choices; they work hard to put you on fish. Tom* the mate and his young apprentice were on top of things all day.

All in all a nice day. I'm two plus hours away* so I try to make my trips count. Today was a lot of fun. I look forward to fishing with our fearless leader* RJ* and the rest of you guys again.

:D

[CaptreeDeckhand]

Well gang* Im sorry the day didnt produce both more fish and more keepers... We did a little better in the afternoon as we had found more birds further west. I want to personally thank all of you from this board for coming out on our last Sunday out for the season and I hope to see all of you again..

Happy Holdiays in the meantime

Tom

[hotfish russ]

thanks rj have a great week p.s. my buddy steve that was on the trip says hes going to be signing up to the fishing line to become a member too:beer:

[RJ]

Cool!! Thanks again Captreedeckhand and to all the folks on our trips...free or not...I won't forget who shows up and supports these trips...

[hotfish russ]

are any of the boats you recomend in suffolk doing blackfish trips an are they doing well? just wondering rj ( i did great last year with bass but not so good this year)thinking of trying diffrent fish till next season lol

[RJ]

The Peconic Star in Greenport; Osprey and Celtic Quest in Port Jeff; and James Joseph Island Current on the north shore and the the Ocean Eagle; Capt. Al on the south shore

[Jaye43b]

RJ do you have an opinion on which side of the Island is more productive for blackfishing at this time of the year....the North shore or the South shore????

[RJ]

Get to the North Shore NOW...that may be ending soonas thsat is much mroe unpredictable than the south shore. Those fish in the Sound one year shut down at 52 degrees and the next at 45 degrees...
