The final trip of the season sailed Sunday for blackfish on the Atlantic Star, Capt. Tom said. Trips for the tog also made it out Friday and Saturday. On Friday the boat targeted different places at Scotland, and only one spot was somewhat productive. The anglers also tried for ling, but only one was hooked. On Saturday with only 10 patrons aboard, blackfish were picked, not great fishing, at the Shrewsbury Rocks, but some limited out on four, now that the bag limit dropped from six on January 1. Some also caught more than their limit, keeping only their quota, and some reeled up two or three, and others bagged none. On Sunday the fishing was a slow pick, and the vessel fished at the Rocks, Sandy Hook Reef and Scotland. The fish felt cold, and maybe water temps dropped. Tom thanks everyone who fished on the boat this past year, and hopes to see them all next year. Trips will start again with winter flounder fishing in March, whenever the flattie season opens.
