Hello all!

My wife and I have been married for ten years this July, so we just returned from a week long trip to celebrate our anniversary.  
We will be back fishing on Thursday as it has been pretty windy yesterday, today, and big seas tomorrow.  Check back for
updates!


June 23, 2014

Dave, Ed, Matt, Charlie, Sam, and Norm were aboard today.  We started out fluking, but right out of the gate it didn't have the
right feel with a super sloppy, non existent drift and some funky bright green water covering the fluke grounds.  So, mid
morning we switched gears and ran offshore with some clams to fish some hard structure and we were able to box some
beautiful sea bass to 4 pounds, one very nice cod for Matt, and a handful of ling.  Thanks for coming out today, guys!

June 22, 2014

Greg, Bruce, Shawn, Traci, Chuck, and Chris fished with us today and fished hard through quite a bit more wind than the
weather man called for.  Battling through less than ideal conditions, the crew boxed 15 keeper fluke with Bruce nabbing high
hook honors and also boxing our two largest of the day between 5 and 7 pounds.  Great job, guys!

June 21, 2014

Bill, Ed, Bill, Liz, Tom, and James fished for fluke with us today and fishing was good!  We had a very nice bite early, a little lull
at slack water, and finished up with a decent bite, too.  23 keepers made the box today with Jimmy Lee having the hot hand,
but everyone got in on the action today and as has been the case a very nice quality to the keepers.  Thanks everyone!

June 20, 2014

Greg, Rocco, Chad, Richie, Brendan, and Rob were aboard today.  Fluke fishing was good once again!  The guys had a great
time catching fluke throughout the trip with 20 keepers making the box and once again a number of beautiful fish in the 3 to 5
pound range coming over the rail and Greg getting the trip's biggest at 7 pounds.  Thanks guys!

June 19, 2014

John, Josh, Mike, Mike, TJ, and my father Rich were aboard today for an open boat fluke trip.  We had good fishing throughout
the day today with some really nice quality fluke coming aboard.  TJ was the hot hand today, but everyone got some nice fish
and we ended the trip with 21 keeper fluke in the box to 6 pounds and plenty of shorts mixed in to keep it very interesting.  
Thanks guys!

June 18, 2014

Pete Esposito was aboard today with Joe and John for their fluke charter.  We had steady fishing throughout today and the
guys combined for 10 keeper fluke to 6 pounds and also had a bunch of shorts mixed in to keep things interesting.  Lots of fun
today and beautiful weather to boot!  

June 17, 2014

Bob Curtain and his 8 year old son Zach were aboard today along with Mike Biencone and his young son Ethan.  We also Joe
Baron aboard.  We started out looking for fluke close to home to see how the bite was.  We caught some shorts before
switching gears and running a little further off to check out some sea bass grounds.  We got on a decent bite of sea bass with
a nice mess of sea bass and ling making the box!  The young guys had a great time with drop and reel action at times and
some nice sea bass in the mix!

June 16, 2014

Charlie Bevin and his group were aboard today along with TJ.  Fluking was much improved today.  We had a pick of fish
throughout the day with the best of our fishing towards the end of the trip.  The crew put a dozen nice fluke in box to 5 pounds
along with a couple of surprise croakers and they also released a small brown shark.  Fun trip!  Thanks everyone!

June 13, 2014

Ron Comune was aboard today with his son along with Chubby, Greg, and George.  We decided to try for fluke today, and the
bite was off.  We picked a few keeper fluke, but with a really sloppy drift and huge swell the bite was difficult to sustain in any
location.  Thanks for fishing hard, guys!

June 11, 2014

Paul Kelly and his group were aboard today.  It was quite a bit snottier than the forecast predicted, but we grinded through the
sloppy conditions and put a catch of a couple dozen sea bass in the box along with a bunch of ling, too.  Thanks guys!

June 7, 2014

Aboard with us today were Clyde, Bob, Tom, Chuck, Shawn, and Traci.  Fishing was excellent!  We started out with a slow pick
and more ling than sea bass bass made the box.  However, after a short move we got on the best fishing of the spring and a
boat limit of sea bass including a good number of 2 to 4 pound fish made the box!  We also had 28 ling to sweeten the pot!  
What a day!  Tomorrow, I won't be on the water as I am attending my niece's christening, and then Monday and Tuesday look
windy at this point, so check back Wednesday for updates!  Thank you!

June 6, 2014

Brian Lunney was aboard for his charter today with Chris and Brenden.  We had a great day on the sea bass grounds with the
guys easily getting their three man limit and releasing a lot of shorts, as well.  We also had a handful of nice hake to round out
the box.  Great day with a great bunch of guys!

June 4, 2014

Ron, Jerry, Mark, Emily, Rob, and Vinn were aboard today for their sea bass charter.  Fishing was great!  We found a variety
of bites today on several drops.  Some spots had excellent action with nice keepers mixed in with shorts, while other drops had
slower action, but better keeper ratios.  At day's end, 86 keepers made the box, along with a lot of hake.  Great day!

June 3, 2014

Chip, Kenny, and Adrienne were aboard today for their sea bass charter.  Fishing was good today with a real nice grade of
keepers coming aboard once again.  Not as many shorts today, and the fish that were caught were mostly of keeper size.  We
boated a limit of sea bass today...along with a dozen ling.  Some real nice humpback bass in the mix, too!  Thanks guys!

June 2, 2014

Aboard today were Kevin, his brother, TJ, Bob, and Chuck.  Sea bassing was pretty good!  We had good action at a few
different spots.  Lots of shorts in the mix, but we also had a nice pick of keepers.  The fish were mostly easy to call either way,
with few needing to be measured.  They were either shorts or definite keepers.  We ended the day with 68 bass and about a
dozen ling.  Very nice day on the water!

June 1, 2014

It was blowing pretty good on the ocean today, so we headed back up the bay with Bill, Bill, Jeff, Ed, Buck, and Greg.  We had
a tough go of it tonight with only 1 drum being boated by Bill Stebulis.  Sometimes you're the bug...other times you're the
windshield.  We were the bug tonight.  Weather is looking good the next couple days, so we hope to be on the sea bass
grounds!

May 31, 2014

Travis Stolz was aboard for his drum charter tonight with Brendan, Brendan, and Jim.  We struggled a bit tonight, as the fish
were biting OK but we just had a hard time getting a bite.  Good thing we didn't call it quits...in the bottom of the 9th right
before we pulled the anchor we were able to get a double hook up and we finally put a couple drum aboard!  Way to stick it
out, guys!

May 30, 2014

Back on the drum grounds today with Chuck, Bud, Jay, Pete, Rich, and Greg.  It took us a while to get going but the guys
fished hard and ended up putting 5 drum in the boat to 60lbs.  Thanks fellas!

May 29. 2014

Rob Condo was aboard for his drum charter today with Bill. Bob, NIcki, Brian, and Bob.  Drumming was awesome!  We had non
stop action on the end of the outgoing tide with 19 drum making it to the boat to 80lbs., and two making the trip back to Cape
May...the rest released!  What a day!  Thanks guys!

May 27, 2014

Chip and his buddy Kenny were aboard today for their trip.  We decided to go drumming in the morning as the weather looked
good for it and the bite had been pretty good.  We got set up just after dawn and it didn't take long to get a good bite going
with 9 drum hooked up and 6 making it to the boat with the biggest a real nice fish going 86lbs!

May 26, 2014

Bruce, Greg, Shawn, Traci, Jeff, and Timmy were aboard today.  Scheduled for a sea bass trip, the weather was
uncooperative so we shoved off in the afternoon for drum.  We caught a couple right out of the gate, but they didn't get
snapping good until we made a move at the end of the tide.  Then, we got a good bite going with five more being boated for a
total of 7 drum to 75lbs...all released.  Thanks guys!

May 25, 2014

Jim Munizza and company were aboard today for their yearly sea bass charter.  Fishing was good!  We worked a bunch of
spots and had steady action throughout the trip with 77 keeper sea bass making the box along with 29 ling to sweeten the
pot.  Thanks guys!

May 22, 2014

Joe Wilson was aboard today for his charter with Fran, Jimmy, Bob, and Joey.  Fishing was good once again!  We did some
running and gunning, fishing a variety of bottom in different depths.  We had a nice pick of quality sea bass throughout the
day - good number of 2 to 4 pounders in the mix!  67 made the box, along with three beautiful cod and a handful of ling.  
Another beautiful cooler of fish.  Tomorrow looks windy, but hoping for good weather for the weekend!  THANKS GUYS!

May 21, 2014

Back out today with Chuck, Chubby, Ron, Jake, Vinny, and George.  We fished a number of spots today and although a few
were slow, we found good fishing on several of them and the gang boxed another limit of sea bass and some ling, too.  Once
again, the quality of the fish was very nice!

May 20, 2014

Mike Procida and his group were aboard today and fishing was good once again.  We picked away at the fish on our first few
drops - the quality of fish was good once again - and then on the last drop of the day we dropped the hammer on them pretty
good.  We capped off our limit and ran for the barn with a limit of bass and a nice bunch of ling, too!

May 19, 2014

Opening day sea bass!  Shawn, Traci, Clyde, Bob, TJ, and Sam were aboard today and we couldn't wait to get out on the
grounds!  We fished a few different spots today and the guys worked hard and put a limit of sea bass together including some
really nice fish to nearly 5 pounds.  Additionally, they had a few nice cod and some ling, as well.  Great day!

May 18, 2014

John Hennesy, Vince, and Ben were aboard for their drum trip this evening.  The fish played hard ball for a while but Vince
saved the day with his first drum ever coming aboard after fishing through some dog sharks and other unwanted fish.  Thanks
very much and can't wait till your summer trip, guys!

May 14, 2014

Steve Wallin and the gang were aboard for their drum trip.  The guys worked for their bites and after missing a few we got
hooked up and put a couple nice drum in the boat!  Thanks guys!
