Out with a crew from NJ for a day of shark action. Hopes were high as we broke the inlet considering our last shark trip just a few days ago. With 10 miles left to go I talk to a friend who’s been drifting for nearly 90 minutes without a pull. We spend the first hour trying to catch some false albacore for bait but can’t find any even with bait, whales and birds everywhere. We send out the...

Ran 35 miles this morning before finding some bait and birds working the area. Spent the first 90 minutes catching some false albacore for bait before positioning the boat for our drift. Our first bite comes about 90 minutes later but the fish drops the bait and doesn’t return. Twenty minutes after that we have a solid hook-up on a big bugger. After an epic 35 minute battle requiring all the...

Decisions, decisions any yet more decisions. That’s how the morning began for this crew hoping for tuna but ultimately deciding on a sure thing and shorter boat ride. After 33 miles we arrive at the wreck and start picking away at the sea bass. Twenty minutes later, and several keepers in the box, the “allure of tuna” is too much for two of the guys and the discussion starts. After some...

Another run for tilefish with Austin and the boys from Heggins PA. Bite was equally as good as yesterday with a slightly better size fish going in the box. Limit came fast so we point toward the sea bass grounds looking to ad even more fish to the box. The first two drifts see a couple fish added to our number. Then, out of no where, the wind goes from zero to twenty knots in 30 seconds making...

Broke the inlet today in flat calm seas running north for a day of tilefishing. Bite was outstanding but the smaller fish were quick today and would find the hooks before the better size fish. Back at the marina with our limit including Lauren’s 12 lb. blueline.

Out for a day of shark fishing with a crew from southeastern PA. Water temp is still a little on the cool side but our drift was excellent. Took about 90 minutes for our first encounter, a feisty 150 lb. blue shark. Twenty minutes later we have the first sharks twin brother on the line. The next two blue sharks are in the 75 lb. class. After a drop in the action and with rain moving in we hook a...

Another great sea bass trip for Bruce and the boys. Moved from spot to spot adding several keepers to the box on every drop. Shortly before lunch time the boat limit (90) was hit. Back in the slip with a pile of those oh so delicious fish.

Today’s morning winds caused us to push back our leave time until noon. Even then we were dealing with some fairly sporty conditions. The first two hours found very limited action with only a couple keepers mix among a handful of throwbacks. Would have loved to be drifting but that was completely out of the question due to the winds. Sometime around 2:30 the fish started to bite and after a...

Out for the second day of sea bass with a great crew of guys from the DC area. Bite was super good with a regular stream of keepers going in the box. Our five man limit was reached in less than three hours. The guys got an early start back to DC allowing plenty of time for the evening fish fry at Bruce’s home.

Out for a 36 hour marathon deep drop trip with two great guys from Long Island NY. First day provided good action but far too many chopper bluefish. A beautiful flat calm night in the canyon provided comfortable sleeping. Day two and the bite continues but today the dogfish sharks are thick. Back in the slip with three limits of those oh so tasty tilefish. The patrons of Bravo Nader Restaurant...
