Capt JR reports a great start to the 2023 fall squid run. We had immediate action all around the boat with squid coming up one and two at a time. The action stayed consistent all night with many anglers having an excellent catch of some real hammer squirts. It seemed like the guys using the […]

The beachfront was running hot today with lots of slot fish in a mid day blitz.  I have been chasing stripers up and down beaches for the last three days. Today I set out on a long walk in search of them.  I saw a few birds working in the distance about a quarter mile from where I was so I went down the shore to investigate. As I got to the spot w...

It was a bonanza of slots tonight in the darkness. Overall it was a pretty dead day today in the daylight along the oceanfront.  But there was some bait around and I have been making an effort in the last couple of weeks to fish later at night.  So I decided that I would stick it out tonight well after dark. It paid off. As it got pitch dark I n...

Capt Dave reports a rough day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. First thing this morning we had a decent shot of fish for about an hour before the dirty water started to chase the fish off. We bounced around to a few spots but the windy conditions and dirty water made for difficult […]

Here's a slot fish from yesterday  coming to the kayak. It was caught  in the Bay. Everybody was complaining about that persistent northeast wind in late September except us surf fishermen.  When we had the northeast wind  from mid to late September the striper fishing was lights out.  It has cleared in the last week with some beautiful weather...
