Doing our best to keep people happy and bend a rod during this period of horrible tuna/mahi fishing finds me taking today’s crew to the same hill that was so productive yesterday. Arrived to find the dreaded green water had pushed in from the north. Worked the entire hill but could only manage a couple bites that never came tight. Offered the guys some sea bass at a nearby wreck which they...

A run south with a family from York, PA looking for steady action for their teenage boys. First bite takes about 10 minutes and from that point its a steady pick on those hard pulling false albacore. Didn’t find a yellowfin today but we were able to send the folks home seven nice spanish mackerel mixed in with the turkeys.

Told the guys this morning I think we can put another yellowfin in the box if they’re willing to wade though countless turkeys in order to do so. The first twenty-some fish are all turkeys before we get the right bite and put a 45# yf in the box. Offered to move but the guys decide to hang in and try for another yf. After at least another 50 turkeys a yf explodes on our rigger bait. After a...

Out for a day of Sea Bass fishing with a couple from PA. The bite was awesome and before we knew it the limit was reached. With lots of time still left in the day we throw out a limited trolling spread and I point the boat toward the inlet. After about an hour the spreader bar gets crushed and we put a nice 45# yellowfin in the box. The next hour is a constant barrage of turkey bite.

Made a short 8 mile run with a crew of teenagers looking for a little fun. Spent the first part of the day hammering the taylor bluefish. After that we decide to push off and try some drifting for sea bass. The bite was very good and the size was typical for mid summer. By the end of the day we managed 16 keeper sea bass among the 200+ throwbacks. The highlight of the day; charter didn’t want...

Headed east today toward some crab gear looking to get these guys on some mahi. Arrived at the string around 7:15 and to my astonishment there are two boats already working the gear. Worked had for a couple hours and managed to pull out about a dozen fish from the few sets of gear that wasn’t already hit. Picked up lines and while making a 15 mile run I come to an area that is all slicked up...

Today’s 8 hour trip finds me running 8 miles east with a trio of anglers from northern NY. The morning bite on taylor bluefish was outstanding providing constant action for the 8 & 13 year old brothers. After that we looked over a couple nearby hill hoping to find a king or a turkey but our only bites were more bluefish. Finished the day releasing sea bass but also managing to put about a...

A day out with John, Emmy and friends. The decision is made to keep the boat in motion and troll today. Morning bite is good allowing us to put four mahi in the box as well a our first king mackerel of the year and one turkey. Sometime around noon Emmy’s luck ran put and our bites ended.

Spent today with a father and son team from the Harrisburg PA area. After a 90 minute run we start throwing chunks along with about a dozen other boats. First two hours pass without a pull and only seeing one boat doing battle. I decide to send one “feeder” line way out and it immediately get picked up. After a short battle we release our first turkey of the day. Next bait, same result. Third...
