We fished today with Harry Simino and crew. We spent most of the afternoon catching jumbo sea bass. We fished for striped bass for a little while and kept the rods bent with some bluefish. Looking forward to having them back out with us again.

All smiles on a sunny afternoon

We headed back out this afternoon for a bass/bottom trip with the Anna Karpinskaia charter. We put the eels in the water and had action with the bass immediately. After catching three and keeping two (1 was a short!), we decided to do some bottom fishing, which did not disappoint in the PM. We ended up keeping about a dozen sea bass and another 6-8 scup. Great trip with these first-timers and we hope to see them again.

We had the pleasure of sailing with the Krupnick family again this morning -- Matt, Emily, Julie and Noah. Given all of the striped bass we came back with yesterday, we decided to focus on bottom fishing only this morning. We had some action, though, admittedly, not as much as I had hoped for. I think Polly was watching us...and warning that we don't come back with toooooo much fish again! Always a great time with this gang. Looking forward to seeing them next summer.

The Krupnick clan sailed their first of two trips with us on Friday afternoon. As usual, Matt and triplets Noah, Emily and Julie filled the box with fish up to 37 pounds. These guys are just good luck. We've been fishing with them for the last 10+ years and they consistently put together a great catch. We're sailing with them again this morning and hope to come back with some fluke and sea bass. Wish us luck...

On Friday morning, Steve and Gil sailed with father and son team Jim & Jim! One drift is all it took to land these guys a pair of bass. Not too shabby. The crew spend the remainder of the morning bottom fishing, which also didn't disappoint with an abundance of sea bass.

We spent Thursday afternoon with my mom, for her first fishing trip ever. We left the dock at around noon and while the plan was to do just a little bottom fishing, I really wanted to hook her into a bass...and we just did that. Within 5 minutes of her eel hitting the water, she was fighting a 30+ pound bass. And I must say, she was quite skillful! She brought the fish to the boat with little help from me and then didn't hesitate to grab it for a photo opp. Nicely done, mom! We spent the next couple of hours catching sea bass and just enjoying the afternoon.
