Ron Martin made his second trip of the season with us today. We started the trip loading up on striped bass, which didn't take long. Then we headed south for some bottom fishing. The fluke were being very picky, but the sea bass action was pretty good and the guys filled the box with plenty of meet. Need to get them out again when the fluke bite is hot!!

Guys put a hurtin on the striped bass this morning. Jalen posed for a quick pic of the two he landed. Another first!

This trio posed for a quick photo with a few of today's striped bass.

The boys boxed some nice-looking sea bass today..

We had the pleasure of fishing with Steve Dubon and gang today and saw great action from start til stop. Andrea landed her first ever striped bass which weighed in at 43lbs and the boys had a few others in the high 30lb class as well. When the team was finished with the striped bass, we turned to some bottom fishing. The action was good and they managed a handful of sea bass as well as a couple of fluke up to 6lbs. Looking forward to doing it again with them later this year.

Three slobs!

Priceless! First ever striped bass at 43lbs.

This flatty weighed in at 6lbs.

Bob Savio and gang made their annual trip with us this morning and the action didn't disappoint. After putting a couple of striped bass in the box to start, we headed around the corner to do some bottom fishing. The guys had tons of sea bass – a mix of shorts and keepers – as well as fluke to around 5 lbs. Another great trip. Next year, we're doing a full day!

A couple of these before going bottom fishing never hurts!

Not too shabby!

We had Tom Urena and his family out this afternoon. With the large group, we set our sights on bottom fishing. The gang had non-stop action, filling their coolers with scup and sea bass.

 We had Craig Lucas out this and his boys this morning. The guys did a great job on the porgy and sea bass.

We had the Hovanec family out for an afternoon of hook and release fishing. They let a 42 pound bass go to live another day, as well as some nice fluke and sea bass. Looking forward to having them out again.

Rick and family wanted to play catch-and-release this afternoon. This 42-lb slob was successfully released back into the ocean after this pic. Great action out here!!

This afternoon we had three generations of Congemas on the boat, celebrating grandpa's 77th birthday. We kept the kids busy all afternoon with sea bass and scup. Nothing better than watching these guys in action.

We had Dan and his crew out this morning for a great day of bottom fishing. The gang did a great job catching the finest scup Montauk has to offer.
