For most people burial at sea isn’t something that comes up until they’re facing it — either honoring someone who specifically requested it or trying to find a farewell that feels right when a traditional burial doesn’t. It’s one of the oldest burial traditions in human history and it remains meaningful today for reasons that […] The post Why Do P...

Had Scott Murdoch and sons out today for some Offshore bottom fishing. Started out on some wrecks but didn't like the size of the Pollock or Ling so shifted gears to get on some Tiles. Had a nice pick getting the family their limit in some great conditions for March. @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@contenderboatsofficial | @nomadtackle_usa | @f...

Every year before the season gets going the Marilyn Jean IV goes through its annual Coast Guard inspection. It’s a thorough process — inspectors come aboard go over the boat from top to bottom and verify that everything meets federal safety standards before we’re cleared to take passengers out on the water. For a boat […] The post The Marilyn Jean...

Had our last trip of the winter down south. Guys wanted a meat trip light tackle no trolling. Bahamas did not disappoint had over a dozen species and at lots shellfish as well. Got a chance to hang with the locals and immerse ourselves in the local flavor which was a great experience. Will miss this place.  @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@conte...

New York City offers year-round fishing opportunities. While we tend to close our boat for most of the winter season (because we need to clean it to prep for busy season and stay compliant with local requirements) even winter can technically bring fish to your dinner table. It’s one of many reasons Brooklyn is such […] The post What is the Best Se...

Over the last few days I’ve shared this news with a few people and word is starting to get out. So it’s time to make it official. After 20 seasons on the water I’m hanging up my captain’s hat. As of January 1 2026 I have transferred ownership of We Catch ‘Em Inc. and the […] The post Thank You for 20 Incredible Seasons — A Farewell from Captain To...

Had Roger and the guys out today. Weather forecast kept the boat traffic away and we were happy for that since we were pretty much alone on the feeds. Some really good drifts & some ok drifts but ended with 21 fish for 3 guys and a box of keepers. Conditions deteriorated late morning so we headed in thanks guys!  We have 4 spots available this Sat....

It should come as no surprise if you’re native to the NYC area but it’s cold outside. Very cold. On November 30th we went and fished on Pelican Harbor braving the wind that thankfully never showed up for our guests to try to fish the area. It ended up being a lot of work and […] The post Fishing Report 11-30-25 – It’s Cold Now appeared first on Ma...
