Weds/Thurs reports - What did we expect

     With a noreaster for two weeks and an off shore hurricane the ocean was not nice. Not rough but a big swell which is worse for fishing. Caught a  handful of porgies on the morning trip  on Weds after trying in the bay where we got them a week ago and decided to go the distance in the afternoon to the east reef of Rockaway NY where the fishing was good in the morning for the other boats. Fishing was a pick at mostly shorts but enough keepers mixed in to make it ok. This morning we shot right over there to find only a slow pick of mostly shorts and a couple of keepers. Not worth the ride so we stayed local only to find it worse. Some nice sea bass and small blackfish but no porgies as we tried different drops. Not sure what to expect for tomorrow but the afternoon does not look good with south winds kicking up so you may want to plan on a different afternoon to come down. Will let you know what tomorrow brings. Here is a pic of what we have to throw to throw back.
