Captain Chris sent us his latest and first report of the 2010/11 from Culebra Island, P.R. Get yourself a    cheap seat or two on a bird and go join him is my advice..  Meanwhile back in Jersey we soldier on with just stripers, blues and trout..  Work continues on the AFFS trailer and more Shows are dead ahead..

October/2010...Rusty but back in the Groove......


"Too much time away put me off my game for a day or so. My apologies to Bruce and Sharon Olden burg . A combination of strong winds, super spring tides, poor viz and asshole guide with who still had Striper scales in his beard made Bonefishing Really tough. Bruce and Sharon did have several good shots at Permit. Saw more this week than I've seen in Culebra in a while. Bonefish stocks look to be slim compared to last fall. Bruce did end up 1 for 3 on Bones but not with out a struggle. That's Bruce on the right. Middle of the week the three of us fished some cuts on the East End and had non stop Jack Blitzes. Nothing big but numbers and good pullage. This was Bruce and Sharon's first Fly experience in Salt. Hope I've made some converts. Great people,great fun, which is really what its all about. Lots of free time next week. I'll be exploring and trying different things before the Season gets rolling... Check it out here" ..

10/12/10..  Capt. Al's latest posting..- "On Monday my pals Larry and Dave underway looking for some bass on the fly, due to the holiday it was a little busy at the rocks, we had one bass on - we blasted north - we found acres of bait, covering the bottom were small weakfish, croaker, and kingfish and Larry's first albie on the fly, this fish dove to the bottom and then took off and tore off close to two hundred feet of line and backing-- Larry did a great job of stopping and turning the speedster back to and in the boat- the ocean was flat calm and we had a great time -- Thanks -- CATCHEMUP"...

10/1 - Todays  report is from A.F.F.S. member guide Al Zalata.. Greetings!! I only fished 1 day so far this past week..  A couple of coastal storms, a bunch of rain and  lot's of wind. The temps are falling a bit, which means things should be picking up, that's at least what I'm thinking. There i s a lot of bait in the bay, and some of the guys are loading up on the spots (small fish) for bait for the fall striper run..  I did find a few keeper sized weakfish, maybe they will stack up before they leave..  - I'll  pass on the "spots" and stick to the flies-- CATCHEMUP,  Al..http://www.a2zfish.com/reports.html
