Capts Greg and Kenny had Greg's dad Frank DeMello and work friends out for stripers. Bait was tricky to find at first and put 30 in the well. Went through those in 15 mins catching a fish and went to re-up on bait. Once we loaded the well again it was excellent fishing from start to finish. Harvested our limit and tagged a ton for @grayfishtag as p...

Made both trips for fluke again today. The fishing was not as good as the past few days. On both trips we picked at some shorts and a few keepers.

On the 31 had out Glenn Kaufman and the Citi crew- netted 100+ bunker in short order and made our way. Had our 8 man limit and released 5 overs in under 15 minutes of fishing. The guys put on a clinic today and we fished until we ran out of bunker. Didn't get many pics as the fishing was hot and heavy. Excellent day of striper fishing again!

On the 39 had Larry DeLuise back with Joe and new to striper fishing Jason and Mark. None of the guys had ever livelined but with my Pure Luv coaching style they got good quickly. Larry led the way with half a dozen to 37 inches rest of the guys popping their cherries! Great morning of fishing!

Had first timer Mark Kuminski out for stripers today. Tough getting bait but once we started fishing it was lights out instant bites for an hour straight and then steady picking and left them biting! Hard to beat for their first time livelining bunker for striped bass.
