The Benmar Fishing Report

Stripers are active on the local reefs.  Capt. George had a great outing on Wednesday with the boat catching 29 stripers with many of keeper size and the biggest measuring 49 inches!  Alas, the camera was left in the truck!  Today the fishing is going well with bass up to 36 inches.  This is a great time to go fishing if you like to catch stripers because the blues haven’t arrived yet.  Memorial day is still open!  The weekend of June 5th and 6th is still available!!! There are also several weekdays open in June.  Call the Captain at 413-374-4199.

The season is now underway and we have had a couple of trips thus far.  The fluke action seems to be ahead of last year with good numbers showing up off Misquamicut Beach.  You have to work through a bunch of shorts to get the minimum 19.5 inch  keepers but so far it looks good for hooking up with the tasty flatfish!  Stripers are starting to heat up also.  We had a nice 33.5 incher on the last trip so we expect a breakout in the number and size as the water gets into their comfort zone!  Capt. George took a couple of days off to work on a new paint job for the back deck area.  The boat is looking good!  There are still a couple of dates open for the Memorial Day holiday.  That weekend is traditionally excellent fishing for bass and fluke.  Please call Capt. George at 413-374-4199.

The Benmar is in the water!

Her gear has been made ready and the first trips of 2010 begin in a few days!

Capt. George has been busy over the last two weeks, making final preparations. If it moves, we have made sure it has been properly adjusted, lubricated or exercised. If it doesn’t move, we have cleaned it, painted it, sealed it or waxed it…

 We are ready to go!

Stay tuned for upcoming posts with the results of our trips.
