Our outstanding tuna action continues but the slot limit fish are very hard to come by. A few more mahi and marlin moving in. The nearshore trolling action continues to be red hot and the mid-range mahi bite is very good.

The tilefish bite continues but our tuna have made another showing much to the delight of our anglers.

With our tuna fishing being kinda spotty and crazy far most crews opted for the much more reliable and crazy good tasting tilefish.

Our tuna action that was so good started to fade by mid week as we await the next wave of yellowfin to move in. Knowing this most crews opted to fill the box with delicious tilefish.

Our bluefin have moved on but they've been replaced by some slob yellowfin tipping the scales to over 65 lbs. Most crews have been going home with several hundred dollars in fresh yellowfin

Our terrific bluefin action continues but it seems as if these fish will not be around too much longer at the rate of speed they are truckin north. Filled in the gaps on some trips with a few keeper black sea bass.

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...
