Mark and the boys put together a nice mixed bag catch today. We started off the morning catching striped bass and bluefish. Then spent some time catching a limit of sea bass. And we topped off the trip with a couple dozen scup. The afternoon breeze made for some choppy conditions, but these guys stuck with it and went home with a cooler full of fish.

We had a solid day for Tim and the gang offshore today. They went 6 for 6 with bluefin. Keeping three for the box, and releasing the rest. Fine work gents.

We had Eric and the Jersey Boys out again today. They caught a few cod, which we released. Some nice sea bass, and bushels of scup. Plenty of fish to pass around today.

We had Freddy and his crew out this morning. With the windy conditions, we decided to stay close. They caught a limit of sea bass, and also wanted a few blues for teriyaki. Made it back to the dock before the rain.

The Terence Chalow charter made their first trip with us today, and we took the boys bottom fishing in search of fluke. There were not a ton of fluke around, but the guys managed to put a dozen in the box, along with a limit of sea bass. Fun day on the water with these first-timers. We’ll do it again with them tomorrow for part 2!

Another annual trip in the books with Paul “Nice Guy” Galeno, Tracey and crew. As always, we had a blast with these guys. We started off the morning, catching striped bass, including one that was eaten by a shark on the way up. We tried to get a look at the predator, but the shark let go before the remaining fish head made it to the surface. After a little bit of catch and release with the bass, we turned to bottom fishing. The crew put a limit of sea bass in the box, and topped that off with nine quality fluke. We’ve know Paul since back in the day! And it’s always awesome to have him visit us out east.

It was great having the Sonner boys out for their annual trip. We started off the day with bass and bluefish, we didn’t have any in the slot size today. We switched over and loaded up with a limit of quality sea bass. The weather was a bonus today as well.

We had the pleasure of having the Thompson family out again this season. They had a limit of sea bass, and a nice fluke to round out the catch. Family summer fun!
