Captain’s Weekly Fishing Report August 21, 2024

Ahoy, anglers!

We’ve been dealing with some storms passing through lately, so it’s more important than ever to keep an eye on the weather before heading out on the water. Always check those forecasts and be prepared for sudden changes—safety first!

Now, onto some exciting news: This weekend is the WICC Bluefish Tournament, one of the biggest events of the year! The weather and wind conditions are shaping up to be the best we’ve seen in years, so it’s prime time to get out there and catch the heaviest bluefish. Remember, it’s not just about the numbers—it’s the weight that counts in this tournament. Good luck to everyone participating!

If you’re more of a night owl, we’ve got you covered. We’re offering night fishing charters targeting bass and blues. The nocturnal bite has been solid, and there’s something special about being out on the water under the stars.

On a fun note, First Mate Kory had an unexpected catch this week—a cow nose stingray, caught as by-catch with a porgy rig from the beach in Northport. Just goes to show, you never know what you’ll hook into out there!

We’re also expanding our reach online, so be sure to follow Sand City Charters on all our social media platforms. We’re building up our channels and sharing more content than ever before.

And finally, we’re thrilled to announce that our podcast series, Bay Rats & Buoys, is launching next week. It’s going to be an unscripted, raw look at the lives of local captains and salty fishermen. Stay tuned—it’s going to be a great listen!
