Ling were crushed on the party boat Captain Al, Capt. Tom Weiss said. The fishing was “super duper,” he said! The ling weighed up to 5 ½ pounds, and trips sailed Friday and Sunday. Rough weather forced Saturday’s trip to be docked. A cod or two were clocked on each outing, and occasional, out-of-season blackfish were let go, and a few small mackerel were hooked. Mackerel boats no longer caught much. The Captain Al had been in the yard for seasonal maintenance until the trip Friday, and is now fishing 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. The trips will probably begin to sail daily on April 13. Ling will be targeted, and porgies will be able to be fished for when New York’s porgy season opens May 1. See More Info. Call: 516-623-2248.
