The Gambler crew took a short exploratory trip today, looking for striped bass and blues. Not far from the inlet, they had some readings on the fish-finder and saw some fish finning on top. Casting out to them, they quickly hooked into blues that readily grabbed any lure that was in their path. Once one was hooked, up to 6 or 8 blues would follow it almost all the way to the boat. It appeared, from the marks on the fish finder, that striped bass were holding just below the blues, but none were hooked.

With this new development, the Gambler will now switch over to striped bass and bluefish, starting tomorrow and sailing everyday except this Sunday, because this Sunday, the Gambler will be on a golden tilefish trip (weather permitting).

• Now targeting Striped Bass and Bluefish -- the Gambler will be ready to catch stripers and blues in any manner it takes: Jigging, live bait or clamming. We will have virtually everything you'll need right on board. Our hours are 7AM till 2:30 PM. Price is $63. Senior fare is $57 and child fare is $38. Rod and reel can be rented on board for $6. Tackle is available on board for sale in our galley.
