  My Slug-go was cut right near the hook on a big hit.  No question it was a big bluefish. I was out along the oceanfront two evenings ago.  I was working a 9-inch Slug-Go right before dark when I had a big hit that I thought was a go

Had the boys from Texas in town plan was to go offshore today not mother nature shot that down. Did plan B to find some trophy stripers. Rick got us started with a nice 45 incher then it got crazy with 3 at a time with Matt and Chris joining the fun

The last five weeks has provided some of the best summer striper fishing that I have ever witnessed.  The fishing couldn’t be any better…. but the bookings have room for improvement.  The last two weeks of July is closed for St

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 fis

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off this morning in one of our usual Porgy spots and it was loaded with Striped Bass! We did a lot of catch and release with some monster Stripers we had over a doz

It was a very good year for Slot Stripers. These were our bright spot.  It's that time of year.  The season has ended and the teacher in me is about to grade the season. The catch word for the entire season has been inconsistent. I can

 Labor Day weekend is here and there are sure to be a lot of fishermen out and about along the oceanfront. If you are fishing from shore the outlook is poor.  From a boat you have a much better chance at finding something although that act

Had the Tiritilli family out today- saw the bunker thick so one throw of the net and we decided to make a few striper drifts close to home. Caught a couple overs and a couple keepers then went fluking. Very good action with plenty of short life with

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. 

DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE BAIT SHOP FOR ALL THE EARLY SPRING TACKLE I RECOMMEND Well it’s one of the most diverse times to fish SML right now. You can choose how you want to fish almost everyday with bass being in pre-spawn spawning

 I had a frustrating day of it yesterday.  For hours I watched masses of birds diving onto bait as predators attacked from below (see video below).  This was happening in multiple spots. And it was all happening out of casting range.

DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE BAIT SHOP FOR ALL THE SPRING TACKLE I RECOMMEND Shad is on the menu! What a fun time of year to fish. We have bass in all three stages of the spawn. I would say about 20% of the bass are up spawning and the rest a

 A massive amount of bait hit the oceanfront in the last two days. The bait was bay anchovies of 2 to 3 inches and big time numbers of stripers were on them.  It was fall blitz-like action that I haven't seen in a long time. Thousands

Had Alan Kulesza back today for stripers. Heavy fog today but had steady action throughout the trip on the live bunker. Jason Marshall caught his first few stripers today as well to round off our limit of keeper stripers. Ended the day with a nice fl

 Striper fishing went from a fabulous April to a mediocre May to an incredibly poor June. I have never seen it this bad at this time of year from shore along the oceanfront and in Narragansett Bay. I still am out just about every evening and tr

  I landed this 30 inch striper last night after dark.  I have been getting some decent fish lately at night and all the action has come on the Slug-go.                         &n

Had Matt Ronca back this year with son Max and buddies Paulie Nick and son Leo. Made bait and went on the hunt first drift had over a dozen fish. All the kids popped their cherries! Continued picking landing over 30 fish.

  This striper took a small Slug-go fished from the kayak this week. Since that last post I wrote fishing has really taken a dive along both the oceanfront and the Bay. We had the new moon this week and that always gets surf fishermen excited b

I have been enjoying a few days off during the holiday so I can spend it with my wife and boys while they are out of school. Once they go back on Jan 3 I’ll be back on it. I’ll be shifting my focus mainly to the winter striper fishing on

Made our last 3/4 day striper trip today. After the storm we had on Sunday and Monday we were not sure what to expect. There was a pretty good size swell and the water was dirty. Went to where we caught the bass on Saturday. Did alot of looking and
