Today was our annual trip with Paul "Nice Guy" Galeno & crew. We've known Paul since our Brooklyn days and it's always great spending time with him. The wind didn't let up all day, but we managed to fill the boat with sea bass and scup. A great day with a great group of guys. Need to plan next year's trip in July, when the slob bass are in abundance!! Already counting down the days!

Headed offshore on Monday with high hopes of hanging something large. Had a nice day on the water, though minus the something large. We ran about 20 miles S of the point. Set up in nice clean water, but didn't have too much life other than a pretty big blue shark -- maybe 250 or so -- which the guys fought for a while before we released. No big fish to weigh in, but still a day on the water. Beats being anywhere else!

Headed out with Ken and the boys for some bottom fishing today. Didn't work out as planned. On the way back to the dock....on the tow. A delightful afternoon ahead, for sure. Hope we can make it up to the guys soon.

10/11 UPDATE: We are back up and running! Our thanks to Atlantic Service and Equipment for their help while we were on the water yesterday and trying to get underway. Thanks to Montauk Marine Basin for having a starter!! And super thanks to Andy for coming down on a Sunday morning to help put us back together.

John Bono and crew sailed with us this afternoon for a bass/bottom trip. Rough conditions these past few days churned up the bottom and the sea bass fishing suffered as a result. However, the striped bass were plentiful. Had to fish through the bluefish, but the bass are out there. Not a bad catch!

Today we had the pleasure of fishing with Rob Pace and his family. It was nice out for a change. We started out the morning fishing with bait, and had our limit in an hour. Was a beautiful day and the fishing was even better. Looking forward to getting them back out again...

Tough fight but we won!

A great way to start the day.
