Fishing is excellent right especially Fly Fishing. We are catching a lot of stripers with chartreuse clausers and Bill’s Secret “Fly”….stripers are an ample size. Fishing anchovies is working extremely good now. I typically fish away from other customers to get you on to bigger and fatter fish and away from the crowds. Come see us! Capt. Bill
