Out for a day of sea bass fishing with a little more wind than the professional liars were calling for. Worked hard all day weeding through the shorts and moving around. Sent the guys home with a respectable catch of 68 keepers.

Headed out for a day of wreck fishing with the crew from Technical Solution Specialists from Pine Grove, PA in relatively calm seas, especially compared to the last two weeks. The bite started off very good with a decent number of keepers making the box even though we only had 3 guys fishing. By mid-morning the throwback size fish seemed to take over with only the occasional keeper here and...

After a week plus of wind it sure was nice to hit the inlet and see calm seas, finally! Made the 50 mile run to the tilefish grounds with a super fun crew from Bedford, PA. The bite was a touch on the slow side but still plenty good to fill the box with a boat limit of bluelines and smaller goldens.

A week of solid wind wasn't the start to the season we'd hoped for. We were able to sneak out for a couple trips but the wind and seas quickly trimmed the lines in the water to just a couple thanks to the 8 hour illness. The bite was good but keepers are very tough to find this year. Sent both crews home with a few nice dinners but far from full coolers.

Kicked off the 2025 season with Bruce and the boys looking to fill their cooler with sea bass. The ocean was a little mixed up and the ride out took a touch longer than normal. The morning bite was good but the keeper ratio wasn't and the mixed up sees weren't helping things. Finish the day one limit short.

Our 2024 season has ended with some very good tuna fishing on the few days the wind would allow us to get out. The greenstick bite was on fire with yellowfin ranging from 25 to 60 lbs including some big blow-ups that somehow never found the hook.

Out with a crew of meat hunters from Chester county Pennsylvania. After crushing the Mahi on light tackle we make a 12 mile run to the Tilefish hangout. Sent the guys home with a limit of Mahi and a limited Tilefish. Talk about some fine eating!

Pointed the Bertram 55 miles east toward some lobster gear in hopes of connecting with some mahi for our solo angler from NY. With 6 left to go we throw out a guick catch-all spread and fast troll towards the gear. 20 minutes later a white marlin crushesone of our chains and after a 15 minute fight we have the fish boatside for pics before being released. We arrive at the gear to find hundreds...

Pushed off in some of the worst conditions of the entire year. After 43 miles we set up the stick and immediately connect with a couple football size tuna. Two hours later we still have nothing in the box despite a couple big blow-ups that didn't come tight and a few more small tuna. I decide to make the 12 mile run straight into the teeth of these conditions in hopes that the tilefish are...

Looking for some mahi with the Lutz crew from Quarryville PA. First two pieces of lobster gear only gave up about 15 fish but the 3rd ball we hit was loaded and finished up our 40 fish limit. After a phone call from a fellow captain and a couple hours left in a day we make a 15 mile run to where some tuna have been seen. We set out the green stick and start trolling immediately connecting with...
