Get to party boats early on Friday

Black Friday has become the busiest party boat day of the tear as workers take advantage of a weekday off without realizing almost everyone else is also off tomorrow. As a result, it’s important to arrive at least an hour early as skippers will leave early as they fill up

A small craft warning is up all day, as winds will be southwest at 15-20 knots with gusts to 25. Showers are likely in the morning. Stripers have been so abundant that may not matter. Private boaters should consider trolling bunker spoons and mojos just inside the 3-mile limit if conditions aren’t suitable for spotting stripers to jig.

Good luck!
