Saturday, 4/24/10 Report

The bass fishing was a million times better than it was Friday night. It still wasn't great, but we did see some action through the day. Dave Plumacher caught his limit for the second straight Saturday, and won the pool with a 25 pound fish. Ended the day with 9 keepers on board.

Friday, 4/23/10 Evening Report

Nothing to report regarding Friday nights fishing. It was horrible.

Wednesday, 4/21/10 Report

The fishing was not good on Wednesday. We fished everywhere from Staten Island to Sea Bright and found a lot of fish that did not want to eat. Only managed one short toward the end of the trip. We will try again tonight!

Saturday, 4/17/10 Report **Opening Day**

Opening Day 2010!! It felt good to be back fishing again even though it took a while for the bass to bite. We headed out to Romer Shoal to begin the day, but it was not good. Made a shift back to the west, and set up for the tide change. Once we got some strength to the outgoing water, the bass turned on. Dave Plumacher started us off with the first bass of the year, and he wasn't done there. Dave ended up with his limit on bass up to 19 pounds. Rookie bass fisherman, Michael Ginerelli, was also on a tear catching his limit up to 22 pounds including the pool winner. Mike Lee was a close second with a 21 pound fish.

Thank You For A Great Season

With the way the weather has been over the past month, we have decided to call it a year. I would like to thank everyone who sailed with us for making 2009 a great season. We look forward to seeing you again in 2010. Thank you all very much!!!

Sailing Wednesday 11/4

We will be sail tomorrow morning from 7:30am to 4:00pm for porgies, sea bass and blackfish.

Fishing Update

While fishing has been extremely good, the weather has not. It seems as if there is a front coming through every Wednesday and weekend. We did not sail today, so we now set our sights on Saturday morning which will be our next trip. We have been catching a mix of porgies and sea bass with a good number of blackfish being caught as well.

Wednesday, 10/21/09 Report

The excellent fishing continues!! The storm that passed last weekend pushed the larger porgies from the Long Island area offshore to where we have been fishing, and a few people had their limit. The blackfish bite is turning on also with most customers catching their limit of one. Rene Lima won today's pool with a 5 pound blackfish.
