Made a 55 mile run south today with a crew of four regulars looking to bend a rod. First two hours find us trolling among a couple schools of tuna who don’t seem to be interested in a trolled bait. I decide its the perfect day to put up the new (last year) toy, our greenstick. The first time we find them on the surface and pull through the breaker goes and we put a 50# yellowfin in the box. The...

A shorter day today with a crew looking to spend 8 hours on the boat allowing other fun for the afternoon. Spent the morning looking for some king & spanish mackerel but all we could find were endless amounts of small taylor bluefish. Spent about an hour drifting with our shark baits out but only had one window shopper.

Another day of outstanding mahi action with the Wagner crew from PA. Action started as soon as we located the weeds and I doubt 10 minutes went by with a bite. Finished the day with some triggerfish action on spinners. Back in the slip two hours early with 21 mahi and 23 triggers in the box.

Made a run south today with a crew of NYC’s finest firefighters in hopes of some mahi action. Searched briefly before finding the weeds that were holding fish yesterday. The next several hours was mahi fishing paradise both trolling and light tackle. After their fill of mahi we stopped on a floating bucket and added a few triggerfish to the box. With all the fish they need I’m told to head...

Broke the inlet today with a crew from PA headed 55 miles south. Spent the first two hours in some crazy weeds allowing us to put a couple mahi in the box. pointed the boat west thinking we might find some fish in 40 fathoms. Along the way a white marlin pops up behind our short rigger and then disappears. Fifteen seconds later he shows up behind my long rigger. From there he moves over to our...

Out with Ryan and the boyz from PA. Our first encounter takes place after about two hours of dragging bait when a white marlin hangs himself and is released after a good fight. Our next encounter is about an hour later when I see a school of small tuna a few hundred yards off the side but by the time we get there the school has gone down. A second pass fools one and the blt yellowfin goes in the...

Made a 55 mile run east with a crew from northeast PA. First hit take about 90 minutes when Dave notices some skipjack next to the boat. I swing through and one by one the rods go down. When I finally put the boat in neutral we have seven fish on. After a few minutes of total chaos we manage to put six small yellowfin in the box. Next bite takes quite a while and after tearing line off the reel...

Headed to the deep in some fairly sporty seas with four guys from PA. At the 35 mile mark one og the younger guys isn’t feeling too great and the guys decide to trim the trip to 8 hours and look for the elusive bluefin. First two hours produce nothing even though the slicks look promising. Finally one of our bars get nailed and we put a small Bluefin in the box. With a little time let in the...

Ran to the 100 fathom line before Dave throws out the spread. First two hours produce nothing. Finally we get a mahi bite but the fish manages to throw the hook just feet from the boat. Next bite is a double header tuna bite and one small yellowfin goes in the box. A while later we get a second chance at a mahi and this one goes in the box too. Last bite is a huge explosion on our bar but the...

Out for revenge on this 10 hour trip in the same area as yesterday. This time we get lucky and have the fish right next to the boat within the first 30 minutes of fishing. Three rods take off and its game on. After a epic struggle we put a 95# bluefin in the box. Twenty minutes later we release a 110# to fight another day. Unfortunately the third fish pulled the hook at some point while we were...
