This afternoon we had Bill and his gang out for their annual sea bass trip. It was a bit of a grind but they got it done, with some nice jumbos in the mix.

Jumbo sea bass for the afternoon crew.

Some quality sea bass this afternoon.

The weather this morning was great and the fishing was even better for Phil and the boys. We had three fish on the first drift and had our limit quickly. The guys also had some nice sea bass. Always a good time with this crew.

Don't think there's a better way to get an early start on the weekend.

This morning we had the boys out from GAF. The guys had a great day catching their limit of bass to 41 pounds. We also added a few sea bass to the mix as well.

Fall fishing at its best!

Firas and the boys made what's now their annual trip with us today. Started out striped bass fishing and after a few fish went in the box, the guys wanted to try their luck bottom fishing. Great action all day with sea bass, scup and even a few trigger fish. Despite the couple of hours of pouring rain, the guys stuck it out and kept the rods bent from start til stop. Great time once again. Until next year!

Bass and bottom fishing kept the rods...(more)

Despite the pouring rain, the guys...(more)

A quick pic of some of today's catch...(more)

Storm cloud moved through yesterday. While it wasn't yet raining at the point, it was pouring just a few miles away where we were bottom fishing. The guys didn't budge though, and stayed at the rail through it all. #novemberrain #novemberraincharters #novemberrainfishing #novemberrainmontauk #nrc #nrcmontauk #septemberrain #fishingintherain #montaukfishing #aintnorainstoppingus #rainorshine #whosafraidofalittlerain #notyetnovemberrain #raindropskeepfallingonmyhead

We had Gene Nigro and the boys out for day two. The guys had a great time catching a limit of bass to 25 pounds. Always fun with these guys, looking forward to next season with this crew.

Day 2 for Gene and the boys starts with some striped bass fishing.

Great bite for the boys!

Had an awesome time with Gene and the boys for the first of their two annual trips with us. The guys wanted to spend the day bottom fishing and it paid off handsomely with three dozen sea bass, which are about to hit the grill for dinner. With all the striped bass being caught, we may mix it up a bit tomorrow and do a little bass and bottom fishing. It'll be another great day, regardless! Already booked their trip for Sept 2018!

A great day of bottom fishing for Gene and the boys...(more)

After cancelling our last three trips because of the weather, it was great being back out on the water. The wind let up and the ocean finally started to calm down. Tom Blundell and the boys made the trip this afternoon and it paid off nicely. The guys limited out on bass with minimal effort. Couldn't have asked for a better afternoon!

The last few days of wind left the bass chomping. Awesome afternoon on the water. Great to be fishing again!

Today was a day for the FDNY, a memorial fishing trip to remember those who gave all 16 years ago. Fishing was great, no matter which boat you fished with, and we had an awesome time with Tim and the boys this morning. I hold a special place in my heart for these guys as my dad spent over 30 years as one of NY's Bravest. Fortunately, he's happily retired now but I still get a chill and say a little prayer when the red trucks go by.

The guys put together a great catch today!

Showing off!

Another great group shot.

And a few sea bass to round out an awesome morning of fishing.
