This morning Montauk had the pleasure of hosting what has become an annual FDNY striped bass fishing tournament. Kevin Kern and crew returned for their trip with us and we couldn't have asked for better results. The bass fishing was insane, with 35-40lb fish swinging over the rail one after the other. The guys kept their limit and tossed back many others. A great morning of fishing with the Bravest. Already booked with this crew again for next year and looking forward to it!

A day for the FDNY. Montauk is filled with the Bravest this morning and they showed us how to get it done.

Had an absolutely awesome trip with my dad, Debbie and my dad's friends this afternoon. Had a blast sea bass fishing with them last year, so wanted to try for striped bass this time around. Within a half hour of fishing, the bite started and we left them chewing, keeping our six and calling it wrap. Four of the five guys are FDNY retirees. Big strong men...who were wiped out after fighting their bass! Biggest fish was 41+ pounds, so nothing to be embarrassed about! :) Always love having my dad out with us. Until next year!

First-timer Mike Milillo fished with us this morning, along with 13 family and friends. The rods were bent from start til' stop with a mix of striped bass and bluefish. Lots of small fish in the mix today, but that didn't discourage anyone and they kept at it filling the box with meat. A great trip and we hope to see them again next year.

Smile for the camera!

Happy Birthday to Kevin!  It's been a while and it was great having him back out with us. Fishing couldn't have been better. We put the rods in and had our bass in no time. The guys had a blast and went home with plenty for dinner. A perfect afternoon on the water. Let's not wait another four years!

Happy Birthday, Kevin!! Great afternoon of striped bass fishing!

Josh, Lauren and baby Charlie made their second trip of the season with us this morning and the action didn't disappoint.  We headed out to do some bottom fishing and stopped along the way to scoop up a few striped bass. After that, we spent the rest of the morning bending the rods with sea bass and a few scup. Beautiful morning on the water and great fishing. What's better!

Scooped up 3 striped bass on the way and then bent the rods with sea bass for the remainder of the trip.

Perfect Saturday morning. 

Never too early to start fishing (and this is his second trip of the season)!

What better way to start a bachelor party weekend! The boys put together a nice catch of sea bass before calling it quits this morning. Congrats, Leo!

We had the team from SK Capital out with us this afternoon. Gerard had the touch this afternoon. Hope to get them back out again.

Took a quick ride this afternoon and managed some action for the boys. Here’s a quick pic of Gerard and his striped bass.

We had Ed and Coast Guard boys out for their annual trip. The guys had a phenomenal day bottom fishing. Not only catching their limit, we had a few over 5 pounds. They already booked next season.

Ed and the boys crushin’ the sea bass this morning. This is what you do when retired from #uscg! Thank you for your service, gents!
