Monday 10/26 update - Call if you are arriving after 7:30 AM

     We made it out on Friday and Saturday with the same sad results.  Trying to sail every day now, weather permitting and of course enough showing up. Sunday morning we had 3 until 7:30 and gave them a choice to stay and hope of more showing up or jump on another boat. They left and then more showed up that would have gave us enough to go. Therefore if you a running late or will arrive after 7:30 please give me a call. We are all hoping that things will pick up after this full moon but there is more bait showing so pick up some snaggers and bait rigs just in case. Thanks for looking in and hope to see you on the boat, the bite going to happen soon.

Thurs 10/22 Game ON ! It's a go for Fri 10/23

     It may be breezy tomorrow, Friday, but we WILL be going. Hope the stripers are there and hungry. Also hope there are not too many small boats to knock them down if they come up, don't get me wrong there are a lot of sharp small boater fisher people, but there are also a lot of idiots the just plow into the fish and knock them down. Bring what you got, jigs, shads, bunker snaggers and rigs for live bait if you get a bunker. See you in the AM and lets hope for the best. Thanks for looking in.

Weds update, the winds won't stop - next trip now Friday 10/23

   We were planning on going out Thurs but will hold off until Friday since winds are still blowing. Hopefully the cooler temps pushed some more fish down and they will be hungry. Still on the 8AM - 2 schedule for now but please come by 7:30 or call ahead so we can figure if we have enough to go. Thanks for looking in.

Sunday 10/18 They eluded us again - Not sailing until Thurs.

     The morning started off breezy and choppy which the stripers usually like. We searched and tried here there and every where from Sandy hook and Raritan bay down the beach, across to the NY side and back. Saw a lot of birds and bait at times but no good, and not just for us. By the afternoon the winds died and it turned out nice for the later part of the day and it still didn't help. With that being said we are going to take a pass the next few days with the NE winds picking up and no fish to boot. We will try again on Thurs if the weather straightens out. Thanks for looking in.

Sat 10/17 Sailing Sunday and maybe Monday

     We will be going out tomorrow, Sunday and maybe Monday if possible, but the rest of the week does not look good with the wind forecast.  Bring you big shads, jigs, and bunker snaggers and don't forget to check your line, knots and of course you DRAG as the fish are big. Feel free to ask a crew member for help checking everything, thats what they are there for. Thanks for looking in. Another old pic.

 

 

Thurs 10/15 That good day was not today - Not sailing until Sunday

     We went out with a very small group, really not enough, but wanted to try other areas and put a catch together. It did not pan out and that reminds me as long as we are on the  8- 2 schedule, please try and get to the boat by 7:30, or call me, so if we do not have enough we can put you on a another boat and not send you home. Can not be going out with a handful of guys with fuel at $6 + a gallon. The wind forecast for the next two days is not good so we will not be sailing. Thanks for looking in and keep posted as we maybe changing our schedule.

Weds 10/14 Striper report - We sailed and failed, back at it in the AM

    We went out with a group of good regulars, everyone we knew and looked forward to some Stiper catching. Like a boxer that got down in the first round we had a tough day, but will be back at it in the morning. Not sure about Friday and Sat with the weather coming in so will let you know tomorrow. Did lose a big one, so check you gear, line, knots and DRAG!  If you are not sure about it have one of our experienced mates check it for you or have them go over everything. Please listen to us as we want you to catch and bring that big fish in. Thanks for looking in and hope to see you on the boat. As they say, don't read the good report, be in it cause you never know when that day will come.
