Weekly report 8-1 to 8-8 (4 bay, 2 ocean):

The early part of the week had 2 cancellations due to the torrential rain. But the rest of the week was doubles with a few ocean trips in the mix when we could get out.

Bay wise - most 3 to 4hr charters are seeing between 45 to 75 short fluke with a pair of keepers. We were kid heavy on trips this past week - which is definitely more about bending the rod than filling the box. Although not targeted, there are some cocktail blues around as well as some spike weakfish engulfing our fluke intended lures. I did notice a good amount of blowfish bites on our bay trips this week - so 3hr bay trips are available targeting puffers- take a look at our availability.

Ocean wise - we had a pair of ocean fluke charters and have been hopping around picking keepers at each spot, but recently there has definitely been a large number of shorts to weed through. Some nice sea bass have been added to the box as well as a few ling.

Our last ocean trip had Alex G and his son Jack out for a 5hr charter and we hit a bunch of small pieces. The guys put 5 keepers in the box with the largest just below 5 pounds, sea bass, and few ling, while weeding through over 50 short fluke.

We do have some new openings for the start of the sea bass season (9/23 to 9/25), so give us a ring. Book at trip (www.reelreactioncharters.com)
