Today was to be a 18 hour trip but early morning winds and a nasty offshore forecast caused a big change of plans. We threw the lines at 8 am and ran north toward the flounder grounds for a half day of flounder action followed by some nearshore trolling for a bluefin. The flounder bite was red hot but way too many fish (over 25) that measured 15½ to 15¾. The bluefin side of the trip was...

Ran 35 miles north with crew of five from WV looking for some bluefin. Worked a big hill all morning with several other boats all looking for a bite but not many finding one. With memories of the July 1st trip fresh in my mind I make an 8 mile run south to a little edge desperately needing a bite. Fifteen minutes later we put a 30 lb. yellowfin in the box. A little while later our spreader bar...

Our for a day of flounder fishing with a family of five. The bite was good but the learing curve to snag these flounder was a tough hill to climb for these folks. Back in the slip with a couple flatties and a few sea bass too.

Oh how this hurts! Headed east today with a crew of four from PA looking for some bluefin. Arrived at the first spot at 5:30 am and counted 42 boats already there. Set the spread and started looking for some marks on my sounder. After two hours of nothing and only seeing one other boat doing battle I decided to make a 7 mile move. Worked that area with about 25 other boats for the next several...

Left super early today with Steve Kauffman and his crew from Honeybook, PA for our first 18 hour trip of the season. Arrived at the bluefin grounds and set the spread in the dark. First bite takes less than five minutes and we put our first under in the box. Next pass adds another under to the box. 45 minutes later the long rigger take off and these guys find out just how hard these overs can...

Another day of bluefin action with a family of four. The weather was dreary but the fishing was good and these guys found out just how hard these bluefin can pull. By days in we’ve caught 5 “overs”, 2 “unders” and a nice gaffer mahi.

Out with a crew of young bucks looking for our first bluefin of the year. Morning was dead so I decided to make a 9 mile move to a different hill. After about 45 minutes our flat line get crushed and this angry fish dumps over half a spool in a heart beat. 15 minutes later TD sinks the gaff in a 70 lb. “over” bluefin. Worked that area for the next hour but only had two big explosions and both...

Congrats to Steve D! First no show, and hopefully only, of the season.

Cancelled due to offshore forecast that was correct two of the three days. Friday, however, was very nice, but the charter for that day was convinced it was going to be rough and I didn’t feel like arguing about it.

Another change of plans forced by big seas found us doing a 5 hour nearshore shark trip with a mother and son team. The action was outstanding on atlantic sharp nose & spinner sharks. Even with a slightly early return I’m sure we released at least 20 and put two of the tasty sharp nose sharks in the box for an appointment with a BBQ grill.
