Porgy fishing
Typically you can get away with using a lighter rod and reel, with small hooks. Just be aware that when fishing light tackle, you may also need to have a heavy sinker at times, so it is always a good idea, to bring the lighter rod in case the conditions are good to use it. Squid, Worms and Clams work the best for Porgies.
Sea Bass Fishing
Sea Bass range in size from 8 inches to 20 inches, with most fish between 11 and 16 inches. These fish are some of the best eating fish available, and most anyone would agree. Fish Sea Bass with Squid, spearing or Squid Heads. Many times the biggest sea bass are caught with the tiniest squid bait. Another benefit to catching sea bass is, that they bite most any season, and are indigenous to our local reefs.
Blackfish Fishing
Even the best fishermen need to "Learn" to catch Blackfish, and Captain Greg, brothers Jeff & Glen know all the tricks and techniques that make a difference. If you are new to Blackfishing, then get on the Ocean Eagle, and let them share their wealth of knowledge in rigging, baiting, hooking and landing these hard fighting and delicious fish. Blackfish sharpshooters will appreciate the "purity" of Greg's Blackfishing trips, with a wide selection of bait, different crabs and rigged setups. The Ocean Eagle has many Blackfish over 14 pound through the years, and fishing for the "Big Togs" is yet another way to fish Blackfish.
Ling Fishing
Ling like cold water, so fishing deep or in the winter months make for the best times to catch these delicate and delicious fish. Ling look somewhat like a freshwater catfish, and are noted for taking Clams and Squid, however they also will take small fish or small jigs. Ling can be very plentiful on a wreck, so get ready to fill the cooler (and the freezer).
Cod & Pollock
When the local fishing reports are just right, Captain Greg will target Cod & Pollock. These fish generally run in the same waters, however behave completely different. Pollock scholl up and prowl the center water column feeding on baitfish, thus Jigs are great to use, and Captain Greg will let you know when he reads a school, and tell you about how deep to get your jigs down. Cod, group up at the bottom, feeding on almost anything they can swallow, from whole clam bellies, small bergalls, whole squid, cut fish chunks....whatever works!. Cod fishing trips are not always scheduled, and you should call the boat to find out when the next trip is being put together.
Our crew will offer to clean & bag your fish on the way back home.
