Captain’s Weekly Fishing Report Sept. 26 2024

Fall fishing is officially underway, and let me tell you, the waters around Sand City have come alive in a big way. The cooler temperatures have brought an incredible influx of bait, and with it, the predators we all love to chase. If you’ve been waiting for that perfect time to get on the water, this is it!

The striped bass are here in force, and these giants are hungry. We’ve seen some serious cows this week, with fish gorging themselves on the abundant bait. They’re hitting hard and fighting even harder—exactly what you’d expect from a prime fall run. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a first-timer, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of hooking into one of these bruisers.

But the action doesn’t stop there. The gator blues are thick, too, and they’re not shy about joining in on the feast. These toothy torpedoes are slamming anything that moves, giving anglers a run for their money. If you’re looking for some rod-bending, drag-screaming fun, now’s the time to get in on the bluefish bite.

And let’s not forget the false albacore! These fast, furious fish have made their grand entrance, and it’s time to hunt them down. False albacore are known for their speed and agility, making them one of the most exciting fish to target on light tackle. They’re the ultimate test of skill and patience, but the reward is well worth the effort.

This week, we’ll be focusing on these hard-fighting species, making the most of this fall fishing bonanza. Whether you’re after a trophy striper, a ferocious bluefish, or the elusive albie, Captain Gaige and the crew are ready to put you on the fish of a lifetime.
