First day out since the big wind of the past several days. The guys for today decided they’d rather save a few hours and bucks and hang closer to the beach rather than make the run to the canyons. Ran to where we last had some bites several days ago only to find much colder (8 degrees) and greener water. Looked all over, even spent some time drifting for sea bass, but the fish just didn’t...

Sept 12 & Sept 22

Two days of really nice mahi action with a couple of super great crews. Friday found us down in the Washington trolling up a very nice class of fish. By noon time we have 30+ in the box and head for the fish cleaner. Saturday is much more sporty and we hang a little closer to the inlet and when I get the word the NW wind has started at the inlet we pull in the spread and head for the slip with 19...

Two days of mid range trolling action. Friday sees some outstanding mahi action on light tackle while Saturday we spend most of the time battling those hard pulling turkeys and managing to get a couple mahi bites too.

Out with DNR Ron and his crew for a day of tilefish action. Bite was good with a mixed bag of bluelines and small goldens. The boat limit was reached shortly before noon so we throw out a quick trolling spread and head west. In the next hour we see four marlin in our spread. The first gets bill wrapped and breaks the leader after a series of jumps. The next fish smashes the long rigger and after...

Ran 20 mile south today with two guys from southern York County, PA. After 45 minutes of trolling and no bites we decide to try for some sea bass. The action is hot with a good number of keepers going in the box. During one of the drifts a school of very small mahi show up under our dangler so we grab the spinners and put a 5 or 6 in the box. A couple drifts later the same thing happens and we...

Today’s guys wanted action and really didn’t care about fish to take home so we made a 15 mile run east and spent the morning doing battle with a constant stream of hard pulling false albacore (aka: turkeys).

Same guys as yesterday for a day of deep drop action. Bite started off slow but within the hour the fish were chewing, sometimes faster than the guys could react. Sometime around noon we reach our limit of tiles so we throw out a trolling spread and point toward the beach. About an hour later we pull everything in and head to the fish cleaners.

September 1 2018

Out with a crew for their yearly fishing weekend trip. Due to high winds offshore we’re forced to hang closer to the beach so we spend most of the morning catching bluefish for the smoker with a few other fish mixed in.

Still running 8 hour mid range trips while waiting for some new water to pull in offshore. The mid range action has been good with decent catches of jumbo spanish mackerel, king mackerel, atlantic bonito, false albacore and some mahi.

August 26 2018

The folks today opted to save some money and do the 8 hr mid range trip instead of the 12 hr canyon which was scheduled. After spending some time on a nearby shoal and putting one spanish mackerel and a couple greenies in the box they ask if we could look for a mahi or two. We run to some fish trap gear and within the first 30 minutes we have three mahi in the box. Worked the gear for a while...
