Keeper Charters

Nice afternoon on the water with Deb and her crew from Wisconsin. The striped bass were quite cooperative. We tangled with a bunch in the 35 to 40 inch range.

Big mackerel and small mackerel. They are back in S**o Bay!

Best wishes to Nick with his pending nuptuals! Thank you for letting Keeper Charters join in on your bachelor party.

Tube and Worm lured this 39" cow!

The Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse is once again offering tours of the island and the lighthouse. Trained volunteers transport you to the island where you are met by a guide who explains the history of the lighthouse and the island.

The tours take place in July and Auhust and the sign up begins June 1st! That's tomorrow. That's midnight tonight.

Read the details carefully. They offer multiple time slots daily and the cost is $40 for adults and $25 for 12 years old and under.

I have never been on Wood Island, though I cruise by it daily during my charter season. I am hoping to land a spot this summer!

I had a nice time today hosting Abby and her crew from UMAINE STRIPED BASS RESEARCH on Keeper Charters.

We pounded it out and were able to land one 38" striped bass. Her team flushed the stomach of our catch and we quickly released her unharmed. I learned much today about the striped bass life cycle and current research being conducted.

Today we switched from live herring to YoZuri swimmers and giant Sluggos. Even better results!

I have openings next Thursday and Friday.

Thank you all for all celebrating Cinqo de Marco #64 with me.
