🎣 What an absolutely gorgeous day on the water today aboard the Riptide III!
While the porgy fishing was on the slower side today. We still managed to get on some fish and put together a nice catch. We also landed a beautiful striped bass, which was a great bonus to the day!!
We leave the dock every day at 8:00 AM sharp.
🎣 Don't forget our Weekday Specials: • Adults: $70 • Children: $50
Bring your family, bring your friends, and come enjoy a great day of fishing. We hope to see you aboard soon!

Yikes the fishing gods must be angry ⚡️⚡️ the conditions today were abominable but we chugged up to grounds where it has been most productive 🎣🎣and we’re disappointed to say the least🫤 we stuck it out till a little after 1(one) and only managed 35-40 fish for the day 😖 there were times during the week that we saw that many fish in 15-20 minutes 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Think Catherine or Jimmy were high liners with 4 or 5 apiece 🎣We will be back at it again 8am tomorrow 8am Porgies 8am
Just a pic or two hopefully we’ll be back to normal again tomorrow

Disappointing start to our fishing season 🎣 it’s been a struggle getting out during the week to say the least 🤷🏼♂️ I think the weather has improved the water temperature and hopefully the scup have moved down to the western sound 🎣🎣
We are shaping up every single day 🎣 so come on down 🎣🎣
