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!
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!
And a few sea bass to round out an awesome morning of fishing.
Great time this morning despite pea soup fog. Bob Abraham and crew wanted some bass and that's what they got! After landing 3 fish in 25-30 lb range, the gang was satisfied and decided to do some bottom fishing. Slack tide didn't help us, but the rods stayed bent for the remainder of the trip and a few sea bass were added to the box. A fun morning with these first-timers. Hope to do it again!
Alan Neuman made his annual trip today and the action didn't disappoint. The bass chewed VERY early but were being picky by the time we got out so we decided to spent the day bottom fishing, which paid off handsomely. The guys put over three dozen sea bass in the box, along with some jumbo scup. The rods were bent from start til stop. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday!

The boys showing off a few of the dozens caught today.
We had some first timers out today. John and the gang had a great day catching bass and a limit of sea bass. It was a beautiful day after the fog burned off. Looking forward to having them back out next season.
We had Mike and the boys out from New Hampshire for an awesome day of fishing. The guys started out bass fishing and we had our limit in an hour, then we landed 40 sea bass.To make the day even better we put some fluke in the box. Fishing is red hot right now. Give us a call!
We had the pleasure of sailing with Eric and crew for his bachelor party today (lots of upcoming weddings!). We took the guys offshore, right back to yesterday's spot. Although no mako today, we kept them busy fighting blue sharks up to around 250 lbs. Tons of laughs with these first-timers. Hope to get them out again. Congrats, Eric!
We snapped a quick shot of the gang on the way back in!
Max and crew took Phillip out for his bachelor party this evening and the action didn't disappoint. It's not often that we run twilight bottom fishing trips but it was well worth doing so today An absolutely beautiful calm night with bent rods from start til stop. A great time! Congrats, Phillip!
