On the 31 Capt Greg and Shane had Lou and his sons out today. Very slow start to the day but kept bouncing around fishing through great marks and found a decent bite boxing our 6 man limit of stripers. All fish on @shadlifebaits except for one on an SP

On the 39 had Todd Craig's boys out today bite much slower than last few days. Did mange a few on shad life jigs marked a lot of fish but colder/dirty water from rain didn't help

Whelp! It’s not an April Fool’s joke – we had to cancel our opening day for blackfish. We scheduled it for today April 1st but the weather decided to play a fool and it didn’t feel safe for us to be out. Safety first as always. Instead our new opening day is tomorrow! We’re going […] The post Fishing Report 4/1/25 – Opening Day Canceled but Tomorr...

We’re really picking up steam here with yet another great day on the water during our morning Ling and Cod trip. Not only was the weather amazing but we had a big group of anglers that were enjoying the trip and having lots of fun as a group. As always check out some of the […] The post Fishing Report – Saturday March 22nd appeared first on Marily...

Wow it’s great to be back on the water and it seems like most of you agree as we had a packed boat this weekend. Saturday brought us beautiful weather and a great crowd. Most of the time we caught ling but we noticed that the spot had changed on the way back so we’re […] The post Fishing report – Weekend of 3-15-25 appeared first on Marilyn Jean F...

Evey time we go out on the water we want our guests to catch fish. Frequently we are excited to find out that our guests catch tons of keepers and shorts. Keepers as the name implies are the fish that our guests are legally allowed to keep. But “shorts’ are fish that have to be […] The post Why Do People Love Catching ‘Shorts’ When They Go Fishing...

Had some of my regulars chomping at the bit to get out cabin fever sucks. Had a small window to get out today so we made the run. Hit an offshore wreck and had a nice bite of pollack to 35lbs. Then we dropped for  tiles till lunchtime getting close to 30. Had them on bait and on UVT jigs which is now a sponsor. Couldn't be happier with the performa...

When we bring people out on our boats they can sometimes take home a LOT of fish. Even one fish can be enough to feed a family for a few days yet in some cases our guests catch even more. If you’re taking 2 3 4 even 5+ fish home it’s going to be a […] The post How Long Can Fresh Fish Be Stored Frozen or Refrigerated appeared first on Marilyn Jean...

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!!!!

Let’s just say: WOW! These night fishing expeditions have been incredible of late and yesterday’s outing was no different. We’re catching the ~~ VAMPIRE PORGIES ~~ which have been biting wild at night all around us all weekend long. While we’ve had to fight the current a few times the action has been non stop.

Had a morning session on my old 44FA with a bunch of friends. Ran out to the canyons not much happening ran back inshore where we saw the life and had a pick up yellowfin and bluefin. Did see hundreds of tuna on surface but wouldn't eat anything. Back at dock early today after a fun day with the guys. @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@contenderboa...
