Had a great week leaving the confines of NJ. First couple of days went over to the Bahamas with Tommy Madden and the boys got into wahoo and snappers had the Bahamian local food which was amazing with lots of laughs. Next stop Marathon to spend 2 days with Capt Mike Sisto had sails each day with mackerel snappers groupers and tuna which we enjoyed...

We’re still in the offseason as we prep our boat for the year ahead. But fishing season opens in only a short amount of time and that means it’s time for you to consider fishing with Marilyn Jean here off the dock in Brooklyn. But why Brooklyn? This is mostly directed at anyone thinking about […] The post Fishing in Brooklyn with Marilyn Jean appe...

It’s that time of year again. We’re in the process of giving the boat its annual cleaning and updating to make sure that it’s ready for the upcoming fishing season. This time of year is always bittersweet because while our staff gets a nice rest and the boat gets a deep clean we do miss […] The post We’re Giving the Boat it’s Annual Cleaning and U...

Got a call from Ilya one of my regulars wanting some tuna for New Years. Made it out to the grounds not much happening. Made a move and found the mother lode first cast Shane hooked up with a nice 70 inch fish wound up losing at boatside. Went back on the drift and Tyler came tight on a nice fish Ilya put the boots to him and we landed a nice 65 in...

Had Ilya back with the boys started casting at Tuna. Kiss of death hooked up early on and pulled that fish off ugh!!!! Got on a bunch of jumbo seabass to end the day on a high note. @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@contenderboatsofficial | @nomadtackle_usa | @fish_shimano_north_america | @costasunglasses | @ownerhooks | @chatterlures | @clarkslan...

Great trip today with my best regulars! The plan was offshore seabass and got easy boat limits of fish to 6lbs and cod to 20lbs. Decided to chase tuna afterwards first drift casting got a nice fat 65 incher.  @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@contenderboatsofficial | @nomadtackle_usa | @fish_shimano_north_america | @costasunglasses | @ownerhooks |...

We’re already in December and the fish just keep biting. We had spectacular blackfishing today even better than normal. The morning bite was the highlight with excellent returns for all the guests that came aboard. There were loads of blackfish with a bunch of shorts and keepers in the mix. Note: We found that white […] The post Fishing Report 12-...

Capt Greg and Shane had the Roszkowskis with Joe in from Florida. Definitely a change of weather from sunny Miami but the fish were hungry. Never got hot and heavy but had a handful of doubles for the father son duo and ended with about 25 fish. Had steady action throughout the whole day on diamond jigs and Kroc spoons.  Upcoming availability:  Sun...

Capt Greg and Shane had Vinny Thurston and crew out today on the 31. The stripers ate pretty good and the guys stuck it out in the breeze.

Call/text 201-421-8653 to jump on.  @yamahaoutboards...

Another day of excellent fishing! Had George and the two Jim's out today. Ended with 56 fish between the three guys and George was high hook in the low 30's. Can't ask for much better than that.  Upcoming availability: Fri Nov 29 (Black Friday)  Sun Dec 8 Sun Dec 15  Call/text 201-421-8653

Had Todd and the boys back and had another sick striper bite. Got our limit on the first drift and went into release mode calling it an early day. Landing easily over 25 fish.

Had one of the funnest days of the year. Shot an episode with host Nick Honachefsky of Salt water Underground and guest angler Bass master Champion Mike Iaconelli. Started out in bunker pods lots of dogfish and few bites. Made a run and found the fish all to ourselves for the remainder of the day. All the fish on light tackle on the surface easily...

We continue to sail daily here on the Marilyn Jean and – even though we’re now in the late November months – we’re still seeing some good bites. Over the past few days blackfishing has been hit and miss but mostly hit. There are days where we’re seeing more shorts than we are keepers but […] The post Fishing Report – 11 – 19 – 24: Still Biting But...

Had Roger and the gang out for stripers. Got on some good action under the birds and the guys went to work despite a couple guys not fishing.

Had regular Todd Craig back with  buddy Tommy. Got out to the tuna grounds and Todd put the boots to a nice fat 65 incher cinching the deal in half an hour. Got on some stripers to end the trip and got back to the dock by lunchtime. Great half day of fishing! @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@contenderboatsofficial | @nomadtackle_usa | @fish_shima...

Sunday afternoon Capt Greg had George and the gang out for stripers. Found some fast moving fish but very hard to catch. Caught a bunch off one pile of blitzing fish and then the next they wouldn't sniff any of our various jigs. Kept run and gunning and put together a good catch. High hook was George with 9.
