Capt Greg and Jimmy had Nick Izzo out on a surprise birthday trip from his mother. Picked and plucked with the live baits putting a catch together with some nice keepers for the guys to go home with. Not an insane bite by any means but I'll take it. Happy birthday Nick!

Had Kevin Barbalet and crew out for stripers in the afternoon. Steady action all trip with bluefish mixed in- Tobi had high hook of 6 stripers plus some gator bluefish. The other 3 guys did well also with many bites and fish!  We are available for charter on Sunday June 2nd AM sailing out of Perth Amboy NJ

Had Jay and Cris from @sushibysea along with friend Gian from Battello in Jersey City out for stripers.  Check them out as they made the 47 Best Restaurants in the US list for 2024 by USA Today.  It was the guys first time out for striped bass and we had some great action to start off the morning. Right away multiple fish on and that lasted about 4...

Capts Greg and Rich had Roger Sanford out with friends. With bunker all over the place they have been easy to net and we started fishing right away. With fish blowing up the bunker schools Roger worked his popped and was rewarded. The rest of the fish came on live bunker

“It’s not a fluke!” Has anyone made that joke before? Probably. But wow the fluke fishing recent has been some of the best in a long time. Our guests have been getting keepers on *every* trip. Take a look at some of the photos from these morning outings: Nice. “But what about the night fishing?” […]

Had Dan and John Pilliteri out on the 39. Started the trip getting some nice fish on metal lip swimmers to 40 inches. Ended the day with a decent pick of keepers.

Had Jeff Sperduto and the boys out started trip playing catch and release with the big girls. Then came back into the bay to catch some edibles ones for dinner.

Had Dan Kelly out this afternoon and they chewed from start to finish. It was John's first time on a boat and he caught his first striper a 42 fish only to be topped by Brendan with a 47 monster- our biggest bay fish in recent memory. Found a couple keepers and a couple bluefish as well and headed home since we ran out of bunker.

Had Jim Preuninger out for stripers this morning. Got our bait in one throw and our first drift it was lights out bass on every bunker you put down but that fizzled out after 20 mins. Did some searching and only found a couple more bites here and there.

Capt Greg had Roger Sanford out this afternoon with son in laws and grandkids. Loads of bites and the primarily first time striper anglers did a nice job on the fish. Some keepers in the mix too!

Capt Greg had Vinnie and the West Milford guys out today for stripers. Savage bite early on and we blew through 80 bunker in no time. Netted some more bait and picked away catching blues and stripers. Brad won the pool and took his buddies money. Back out this afternoon

This afternoon Capt Greg and Shane had Sam Angelo out for stripers. Bait was easiest it has been all year to net and we went to work steadily picking away at stripers on live bunker. Lots of blues showed up but bounced around and caught the stripers steadily to end the day. Headed home early to get the Angelos home for dinner early. Thanks guys!

Capt Greg and Shane had Dave Hockenberry out on the 31 this morning for stripers. Started out on the bigger fish and switched it up finding some keepers in the shallow water for the guys to take home.

Had Vinny Montella out today for the StriperQuest tournament by @grayfishtag and despite the weather all participants decided to give it a shot. Glad we did as we enjoyed a steady pick of fish!

Had Neil McCoy with Rod Hernandez and both of their sons out this afternoon. Like a broken record bait was tough but when we got it fishing was very good. Did one drift the whole afternoon and the stripers were hungry. Fished until we were out of bait and called it an early afternoon before the rain came.

Had Adam Conley out in the morning for stripers. Bait took a very long time but fishing was a good pick up to 40 inches with a couple keepers mixed in. High hook had 5 by herself- not bad for her first time striper fishing!

Had Andy Talone out solo this afternoon. Covered a ton of ground looking for a good bite and ended up picking a few late in the afternoon on live bunker.

Had Glen Kaufman Lew Gold and friends out for stripers. Bait was tough once again but we found some nice healthy stripers for the guys with fish up to 38 inches along with one bluefish. Always a pleasure!

We went out on the water yesterday for Mother’s Day. There were fewer guests than normal spending time with their mothers all around New York but we still had a decent number of guests out on the water and let’s just say they were REWARDED. Not sure if the fish knew it was mother’s day […]

In the afternoon Capt Greg had out Bert and friends out for stripers. Took forever but got some bait and made a couple of long drifts. Had a steady pick on bait in the sloppy conditions but still not what it should be. Thanks to both groups for sticking it out on a tough day overall.

Had Tom Mallon and son out with guest appearance with Jay from Sushi by Sea. Started out am trolling for bigeyes unfortunately our ticket wasn't punched. So we packed  the box with light tackle mahis. Changed gears and went on the hunt for yellowfin found them but they wouldn't bite the jig after crew fishing hard for a few hours. Put in the purpl...

Had first timer Mario Fiorentini out today with sons and uncle Bernie. Started out on pots and the bigger ones had lockjaw but the peanuts were ready to eat. Decided to chum hard with live peanuts and found the life I needed getting the schoolie bluefin in a frenzy releasing fish up to 50 inches. @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@contenderboatsof...

Quick update first before we talk about fishing yesterday. The day trips today – 8am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm – had to be cancelled for weather but the forecasts show that the night trip should be good to go so if you’re thinking of coming today plan for our 7:30pm to 12:30am trip.
