Jefferson Head - Blackmouth

The blackmouth fishing off Jefferson Head has been a little better than it has been most of the season. We have been hearsing of some fish being caught the past couple of weeks. Though the fishing is by no means "Hot", most which we have spoken with have had at least a couple of fish for the boat. Most of the fish that have been taken are smaller (Just Legal) blackmouth though most everyone has been lamenting over the larger (into the mid teens) wild fish that they have had to release. Most everyone that has dropped a crab pot in the Kingston area has been very happy with the crabbing that they have had. Lots of "Limits" of nice 7" plus Dungies. Make sure to fish deep 100 - 125 feet on the edge of the drop offs. Don't scrip on the bait - better to have lots than not enough. Crabbing will run through January 2nd in our local Marine Areas 9 & 10.
