Capt Greg and Kenny had Todd Craig out today for stripers. Made our bait in a couple throws and thankful we did since the fish under the birds were tough to catch. Put together a solid catch on the live baits boxing our limit and releasing a bunch more. @yamahaoutboards | @garminmarine |@contenderboatsofficial | @nomadtackle_usa | @fish_shimano_no...

Capts Greg and Kenny had Kevin Barbalet and friends out today for stripers. Finally the bunker showed up and we went to work loading up the wells. Had a solid bite live lining no huge fish but some overs in the mix along with a boat limit of keepers. Got a little bouncy so we poked around in the calmer waters.  Tomorrow afternoon is still available...

Had Dan Kelly out this morning found a new batch of fish that was moving quickly and caught some there with a couple of keepers mixed in. Made a run and got on some bigger fish up to 42 on diamond jigs.

Capt Greg had Shane and friends out and it was excellent fishing from start to finish. Big stripers up to just shy of 40lbs all on casting metals and swim shads. Didn't manage to get all four guys hooked up at once but triples doubles and constant action was the norm.  Shaping up to be great fishing the whole fall and can't wait to see what happens...

Had long time regular Rich Serpe with son Nick today. Got on the stripers early and had nice pick of fish from 35-40 inches. Lot of fun on ultra light tackle!

Had the Kelly family out this afternoon. Took a ride and found some excellent striper fishing - all big over sized fish. Matt caught the biggest which was 48 and was previously tagged not bad for his first striper! Diamond jigs and small spoons were the ticket.  We have November 3rd available for charter as well as other dates. Call 201-421-8653 t...

Had Tom Connell and the boys out today. Started out with a dozen mahi not much happening with tuna so did a tile drift to spice up the box with close to 20. Shifted to tuna and got into a nice jig bite had to weed through the skippies but landed yellows to 60lbs and broke off way too many.

Had regular Todd Craig with buddies today plan was to run for tuna/mahis but mother nature had other plans. Switched boats and did an exploratory Striper trip on the 31FA. Found some stripers and will hopefully start seeing some better quantity in the coming weeks. Give us a call to get your fall striper dates on the books!

At this point you’ve probably noticed a theme with our fishing reports – the porgies… the porgies are good man. Really really good. We might even be running out of things to say about them a little bit because our guests keep catching more and more porgies with each passing trip and you need to […] The post Fishing Report 9-21-24 – Porgies Are Sti...

Once again we took our guests out on the water and once again the results were incredible. We’re talking “Super Porgies.” Okay maybe the Porgy themselves were not superheroes (although if Marvel steals the idea you know where it came from) but our guests caught a lot of them and they were biting hard all […] The post Fishing Report 9-16-24 – Super...

Had Todd Craig back with the boys Nick Tom and Mark. None of the guys had any saltwater offshore experience. Started the trip away from the fleet by ourselves and had some fun once the fish came under the boat  game was on! Dropped the Nomad jigs in 120 and 80 grams and games was on. All the guys popped there tuna cherries! After that went jigging...

At Marilyn Jean Fishing we don’t take days off and it’s a good thing we didn’t. Porgy fishing on both our day and night trips was legitimately incredible. We’re talking huge porgies with action that seemed like it was non-stop at times and an incredible number of catches with many of our guests reaching their […] The post Labor Day Weekend (9/2/24...

Capt Greg had Jim P with his dad and son on board. Decided to start with some inshore speedsters and caught some bonito with an Albie mixed in on Nomad Ridgeback Long Cast 20g and 40g jugs. Switched over to fluke and put a couple of keepers in the box including Barrett's 23 inch fluke. Not a ton of pics but put together a nice box

Had John Vanator with brother Jim and son Joe with buddy Josia. Started out jigging and livelining on great life for tuna no luv. Went on troll same. Customers flew in from Michigan and wanted fresh fish. Switched gears to accommodate them started with mahi which were cooperative easily landing over 30. Switched to tiles and Nomad jigs to 420 gram...

Had Tim Conway with family and friends today. Started out with a yellow to get the day started was slow on troll. Decided to run and gun  under the skippies for yellows but no luck just landed skippies. Changed gears and had a tilefish beat down getting double headers bluelines and nice goldens. Went looking for more surface action on tuna but no l...

The last three days have been a incredible and that’s been AFTER a week of near equally incredible fishing. On the 12th we hit a full boat limit of porgies AND even hit some bluefish while we were out there. The 13th and 14th were just as wild with porgies biting so often that some people had […] The post Fishing Report 8-12 to 8-14 – Porgies Galo...

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.

Great day with the regulars today started on the yellowfin grounds had half a dozen  to start the day on the new Chatter Purple Mini Bullets knew they would kill it!  Had a few opportunities casting but couldn't connect. Did some mahi and tiles getting only 1 nice mahi. On the way home ran into a slick with tons of chicks and again the Purple Bull...

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...
