‼️ From Captain Rick Regarding The September Schedule....

‼️AUGUST was exhausting with 19 fishing days, 4 sick days, 7 Dr appointments, 4 boat service/repair days, 1389 text and messenger, 41 emails,.233 phone calls, 3886 post replies, 800 hrs screen time, and family 0, well maybe a little but not enough.

SEPTEMBER will be a little lighter schedule on this old guy. For September I have set aside every Tuesday for Deep Dropping Trips and/or Meat runs and every Thursday for Wreck Trips.

I will set out another post with more details on these trips in hopes this should answer a lot of the most common questions.

We work extremely hard for you and will continue to do so. Do we always get it right? Heck No!! If we don't please let us know and give us the opportunity to make it right.

Going to spend some much needed time with the family this month.

Today’s walk on / split trip was a little slow filling up….
So I offered free fish cleaning….
Bamn….that did it, filled up quick.

Now….not much I can say but thank you to these gentlemen that chose to spend the day with us offshore in search of trophy sea bass and flounder.

Well how did we do, everyone got a couple trophy class flounder and a full boat limit of Black Sea Bass up to 5 lbs as well and we had a blast on this beautiful day.

Kenny and I cleaned their catch, bagged them up and they were on their way home.

I am tired but I think they will be back soon!!

Thank You, Captain Rick

Another easy limit of Black Sea Bass today for our walk on crew. This bite is insane for this time of year and hopefully it will stick around.
From our walk on/ split trip crews to our private charters our customers are killing it and going home with coolers full on every trip.
Next trip out is Tuesday Sept 1 and still has a couple spots open and we are throwing in fish cleaning for any customers who would like it at no charge as an added bonus if you would like to join us.

Thank you for today’s customers and hope to see you again soon.

Changed it up a little bit and bugged out in the darkness and ran to a spot we have been seeing some real nice Bluelines and what do you know, with the sun barely up we were well on our way to an easy boat limit.
Next stop was to see what new areas we could drop to find some Black Sea Bass and we did find them in numbers and in drop and swing fashion my group boxed up their second limit of the day.
They put an !! behind “ Meat Run “
What an amazing day with great customers.
Thank you for choosing Why Knot Charters, it was fun to watch.

Fun times on today’s Make Up/Split Trip with some new and some returning anglers.
Results were yes only a few Flounder but a full boat limit of stud Black Sea Bass.
How can you not have fun cranking on Sea Bass in beautiful sea conditions.
This was an incredible day offshore with our customers and as always we thank you for choosing Why Knot Charters.

Today’s easy limit of Black Sea Bass was a fun one to watch. Our crew made short work of their drop and swing boat limit and had a blast doing so.
Thank you for allowing us to provide your group the opportunity.
Flounder bite, well I guess the area we are fishing is showing the pressure, only 3 and a few
pulled hooks…..

Thanks again. Capt
