On Sunday afternoon Capt Greg had Bob Joyce and his guys out. A few of them had never caught stripers before so we quickly crossed that off the list! Ended with a nice box of perfect sized keeper fish in short order releasing many more.  Call/t

This pretty striper was caught on a picture perfect afternoon. Nice to know there are still a few nice ones around. Especially on a nice day.

Had the pleasure of hosting Shawn Carpenter and his family today. Shawn is with AFW company and one of our most important sponsors. Today his kids Harper and Mike and friends Avery and Logan. Kids got their limit in short order and now chilling eati

  Here's one that I landed last week in the backwaters. I'm guessing it might have been a holdover. The striper season is off to a very poor start.  The weather has been cold especially at night and the winds have not been favorabl

Had a good morning with Lenny Paolillio his brother Anthony and all the kids. Started on some reads and all the kids landed a keeper with Anthony releasing a nice 40 inch over. Made a move and netted some bunker and landed some more keepers and over

For a lot of anglers in the New York area the fishing season doesn’t really feel like it’s started until the stripers show up. Bass have a way of doing that — they’re the fish that gets people who haven’t been on the wa

Give us a call before we turn our attention to shad. Late February and March is excellent pre-spawn striper fishing on the lower Roanoke River and Albemarle Sound. We have a new online booking calendar on our website and have plenty of days for any a

Had Jim P out today and got our keepers in the breeze with a lot of other releases between shorts and overs. Fish were blowing up all over the place however we didn't catch as many as we saw. Covered a ton of ground but glad we did! Our  &#

Had Frank Klusman from the Anchor Painting fishing team on boat with owner Tom son Jake and buddy John. Started out in smaller bass getting a bunch then picked up and headed east getting all keepers. Ended the day casting to fish on the surface With

I knew this might happen at some point actually it even seemed likely a couple of times but it was the first for me yesterday. Fishing with clients for stripers in shallow water with big poppers wind was blowing but it was not especially rough just

Long time clients Mike and Chris wanted to see what Hogan had to offer for them on April the 30th. We started out the morning with full sunshine and an easterly breeze as I set out four rods. The first … Continue reading →

Capt Greg and Shane had Charlie Bush and his group which was more than 6 passengers so we enlisted the help of dock neighbor Vinny from Morning Dew. Got out in less than ideal conditions this morning and jigged some fish right off the bat. Variety of

Had Dan Kelly and Joey out today- netted bait and only picked a couple so mid morning took a ride looking and wow the life was amazing. Great fishing with double ups on Shad Life 6 paddle tails and Kroc spoons. Great fishing in some less than favorab
