Memorial Day Weekend Recap

Doormat

Jim caught a 7.5lb doormat

We got quite lucky with weather this Memorial Day Weekend at Captain Mikes. Anglers were able to enjoy Great Bay without worrying about any storm cells rolling through.

Jim (pictured above) caught a 26″ fluke on his trip out on his rental boat Sunday afternoon. Surprisingly enough Jim was fishing right out front of Captain Mikes Marina using gulp!

Plenty of fluke fisherman went home happy after fishing the Great Bay this weekend.

Beware of Terrapins Crossing Great Bay Boulevard

Slow down! The Terrapins are nesting again

You might want to slow down during your next trip down Seven Bridges Road. Several volunteers of The Great Bay Terrapin Project reported terrapin turtles crossing the boulevard over the weekend.

During May and June, many pregnant females search for safe places to lay their eggs. These females lay their eggs in a sand/gravel mixture where it is easy for them to dig and cover their eggs, like sandy dunes and in scrub-shrub habitat along road edges.

Unfortunately, many females are accidentally killed motorists each year. The Great Bay Terrapin Project has helped raise awareness and protected countless Terrapin turtles by placing signs and raising fences along the road to prevent them from crossing.

If you ever happen to see a Terrapin crossing the road, please move them to the other side of the road that they were walking towards.

Captain Mike’s is a proud partner of The Great Bay Terrapin Project. The project is entirely funded by donations, if you wish to volunteer or donate to help the cause you can sign up here.

Jim’s Seem To Catch More Fish

Jimmy Allen caught a 24″

If your name is Jim and you were fishing in Great Bay over Memorial Day Weekend, there’s a good chance you caught a doormat fluke! If not, sorry but you are the weakest Jim!

Jimmy Allen managed to catch this beautiful fluke right off the Fish Factory, sorry if you were trying to keep that a secret Jim!

Plenty of fish were caught by rental boats this weekend. Scroll down to check out more photos from the long weekend. It’s great that summer is finally here. Get after it, get geared up, and let’s go fishing!
