Spent the morning with Pete Wagenhauser and crew for what was supposed to be a full day bass/bottom trip. Unfortunately, last night's calm conditions didn't last and the wind was already starting to huff before we left the dock. Knowing we wouldn't get the full day in, we decided to spend the morning bottom fishing. Had less than ideal conditions, but the guys still managed to put some sea bass in the box. Nicely done, gents! Had a great time with them and look forward to seeing them next fall again!

Despite crappy conditions, the boys managed to put some sea bass in the box!

Today we had Bill and the gang out for an afternoon of bottom fishing. These guys where tough sticking it out in the pouring rain. We ended up with two dozen nice sea bass. Looking forward to seeing these guys in July.

Bill and gang chose to do some bottom fishing today and it paid off nicely!!

We decided to make the run for bass this afternoon despite the strong SW winds and ebb tide. The ride there was great. The conditions once we arrived were not! We didn't stay for long, but Jim and the gang from the Harbor Fishing Club managed to put four nice bass in the box. We ultimately called the trip a little short as the ocean was pretty evil. Wish we could have stayed. The bass were there! Until next fall, guys!

This morning we sailed with 6-year old James and his dad Colin, first-timers on the NOVEMBER RAIN. Since we were hoping to do some bass and bottom fishing, we decided to stay close, knowing that the striped bass action may not be too hot. We didn't spend much time trolling and after landing a bass, we decided bottom fishing would be more manageable for James. Had great action with the sea bass and after 8 were put in the box, the guys had enough for dinner and called it quits. A great morning and we hope to get them out with us again!

Dinner for the family!

Spent a great day on the water with Paul, Brian, Richie and Rick for the annual "Nice Guy" fall fishing trip. Great action all day with a limit of togs finding their way into the box. Nothing's better! Looking forward to seeing the boys again next July for the annual "Nice Guy" summer fishing trip!

Nothing's better than being on the water...(more)

Nice Guy (aka Paul Galeno)!

Another nice one for the box, thanks to Brian!

Limit of togs!

The guys killed it today!

Chow time!

Today we had Steve Dubon and his gang out for their annual fall trip. The guys had a blast catching their limit of blackfish to 6 pounds. We made a few drops and had good life on each piece. The blackfish bite is hot. Now's the time to get in on the action.

Another great day of toggin!
