On Friday 6/27/03 AnglerZack &
AnglerBob
went in search of Porgies. We boarded the North Star
out of City Island, Bronx, NY. The LI. Sound was calm, the Skies were
blue, and Sun was Bright and Very Hot. The boat was packed shoulder to
shoulder, not a pole holder left unfilled. The fees were $37.00 for
adults, and a very steep $30 for children (including a large fish pool).
This is the highest rate I have seen to date charged for children in any
New York/New Jersey inshore waters. We left dock at 7:40 A.M. The boat was
slow, and it took almost 3 hours to reach the targeted fishing grounds of
Smithtown Bay on Long Island's North Shore. A couple of other Party Boats
passed us by on the way out, and passed us again on the way in.
Without my binoculars, I could not see which boats those were. As for the
fishing, we used a Garcia Mitchell Model 300, and a Ru-Mer 50 1/2 Bail to great success.
The boat provided clam bate for free, and charged $5.00 for a dozen Sand
Worms. Zack out fished me about 2 to 1, using the worms, while I stuck
with the clams. We wound up with about 40 keeper Porgies after cutting
loose a bunch of shorts. The mates charged $15 to $20 to scale & gut
each bucket of fish, and tried for $25 to $30 for filleting. This is the
highest I have ever seen mates charge for this service, given similar
conditions. We did get a full day out of it, the boat docked at about 5:00
P.M. The crew did work hard with tangles and other situations that would
have caused loss of fishing time. All in all, despite the expense, the day
was a fishing success.
