Later in the season if you are leaving from NE.
Figure after the 4th of July for best odds. 99% trolling. After Labor day there will be a better chance of getting fish chunking (reliably)

we're hoping to run in the second half of June, but the water is still mostly unfished, and we need to shake the boat down a few times.
(and we aren't charter, so don't contact us).

given the weather, one option are the head boat trips, maybe b/c they get washed out less...
