We had a well rounded trip to today for Tim‘s group. They caught bass of all sizes, keeping their 6 slots. Then it was off to bottom fishing catching a nice mess of sea bass and fluke. All and all a great day on the water. 

It was great to get Billy and his crew out this afternoon. We had some jumbos like this one as well as smaller ones to take home. Plenty of smiles this afternoon.

We had a cancellation today and was able to get Chris and the boys out for a solid morning of bass fishing. They kept 8 slots and released a bunch of over sized fish as well. They had to squeeze this in before they went back to school. 

Bryan and the boys came all the way from Michigan, for some Montauk fishing. We had to work for the slots, throwing back multiple over sized fish. When we finished that, we went bottom fishing, icing up a limit of seabass as well as a few fluke. 

We had the pleasure of fishing with Tom Bender for the first of his two annual trips with us. We headed offshore today, but unfortunately with barely any wind, the conditions weren’t great for sharking. We had one shark swim past our slick shortly after we got lines in the water, but that was the only one we saw all day. We were treated to a nice whale show. There had to be at least a dozen of them swimming around the boat, which was fun to see. Disappointing, though, that the shark action wasn’t better. Without the wind, we had no drift. The 78 degree water didn’t help either, as sharks generally prefer it a little cooler. Oh well, the name of the game is fishing…not always catching. We’ll try our luck again with Tom next month.

Bill and the boys returned for their annual trip with us. We started out striped bass fishing, and the action was immediate. The guys landed there six slot striped bass with ease, and then we went bottom fishing, which also did not disappoint. The boys topped off their catch with a limit of sea bass and a few quality fluke. We’ll see them again next summer! 

Travis and the boys had a fine day of fishing today. We had our limit of slots quickly, then went bottom fishing for a bit. They had a limit of seabass, some trigger fish, a codfish and a few fluke as well. Nice mix for the boys today. 

It was another day in the books for Tim and the boys. We had a quick limit of slots, they also caught a limit of seabass. The fluke weren’t as cooperative for us today. See this crew again next week.
