The outstanding Bluefin action continues with most crews seeing six to twelve fish per day ranging in size from 30" (blt's) to 50" (overs). Spent a few hours on some nearshore bottom after a crew had their fill of bluefin's and had good action on keeper size sea bass and a couple flounder too.

The weather finally cooperated allowing the first canyon trip on the new Fin Chaser. The Bluefin bite was pretty good putting two 41 inch "unders" and a 51 inch "over" in the box while releasing several others.

After months of getting the new boat ready to fish we were slapped in the face with the sea bass debacle created by NOAA Fisheries. By the time it got straightened out most of my crews had opted to reschedule to later this summer. Did manage to run a couple trips at the end of the month with moderate success.

October turned out to be fairly typical, if the weather allows us to sneak out we're likely gonna have a good day. Even with two weeks off to enjoy some time in Maine and to run the new 42' Fin Chaser down from Montauk we were able to put some very good catches together. The mahi action was off the charts good as well as the tilefish. Our trips later in the month produced sea bass limits with a...

Thank heavens the weather the second half of September was much more cooperative than the first half. I've always said if you can get out in September you're likely going to have a good day and our trips have proved that statement to be pretty darn accurate. The Mahi, Tilefish and Black Sea Bass action has been outstanding. Couple Wahoo's that cut through our Mahi rigs and one big Blue Marlin...

The wind continues! Lost 50% of our trips the first half of September due to this crazy wind. Fortunately the days we could get out provided very good action on mahi as well as golden & blueline tilefish. A couple marlin encounters thrown in for fun too.

The crazy wind continues forcing the fleet to stay at the dock way too many days. Managed to slip out a couple days and had very nice catches and mahi, tile fish and even a billfish or two.

Our excellent fishing continues with increasing numbers of mahi, a surprise brief showing of bluefin tuna and a new catch on the Fin Chaser. On the 16th we released two Roundscale Spearfish, possibly the most beautiful billfish I've ever seen boatside.
