Latest Fishing Report - October 12, 2026

That's a wrap everyone!  The boat is out of the water and it's time for fall maintenance so we can get back in the water quickly next May.  The early morning time slot was amazing from June through the middle of September. The afternoon slot was always a challenge getting stripers to bite, but we still caught fish.

Thank you again to everyone and I hope to see you again next season!
