I fished with father Scott, 15-year-old son Tyler, and 15-year-old pal Gavin.  All three were pretty experienced fishermen and we fished both tides and a full day.  They caught maybe 100 Stripers, Bluefish and Sea Bass.  All the fish were caught on 1oz diamond jigs or 1oz swim baits around 4+- inches.   The diamond… Continue reading 4 Triples !!!!!!

Fished the ebb tide this afternoon with locals from the New Haven area. One of the group had some good prior experience while the others hadn’t been fishing much.  However, that didn’t stop the Stripers from blasting our baits all day.   We started at Plum Island and found a few fish but it was… Continue reading Great Day For Fathers and Sons

Fished two half days yesterday, and to be honest, fishing was tough.  Morning ebb tide I fished with Mike and son Josh.  Got to our rip in record time with great weather and calm seas. First cast Josh landed a nice Striper. After that we struggled for an hour. Since we didn’t have any birds… Continue reading 2 Fabulous Half Days!!

I fished a really nice couple from Philly yesterday.  They didn’t have much (if any) fishing experience but that didn’t hurt the fishcount.  We fished a rip line on the incoming tide first thing in the morning and had a Striper on the first cast.  After getting that fish in the boat we practiced casting… Continue reading Giant Bluefish and Loads of Stripers for Fishing Novices

It’s been so busy that I haven’t had time for Fishing Reports, but the last 4 trips have been nothing short of awesome.  Stripers on nearly every cast, birds as far as you can see and anglers each getting 50 plus fish.  Been diamond jigging with 1oz jigs on 14lb test and we are getting… Continue reading Fishing Is Off The Hook Right Now!

I fished with brothers Gary (from CT) and Eric (from North Carolina) today.  Both were good fisherman.  We fished a full day and landed 100-plus Bluefish, Stripers, and Sea Bass.  Fish were up at the end of both tides.  Fished birds all day from Plum to the east rips of Fishers island and had fish… Continue reading 100 Stripers and Bluefish!

Fished two locals from West Hartford and New Haven today.  Both docs and both diehard fishermen that wanted to fish even with the big wind today.  We were always safe but often uncomfortable with the pounding.  We fished the ebb tide and found lots of mid-size Stripers and some gigantic Bluefish.   Between Carl and… Continue reading Fishing Could Not Be Better!!

So I’ve been fishing non-stop with clients and clobbering the Stripers but for some reason we’ve caught relatively few big Bluefish this year. By mid July the reefs should be loaded with Bluefish on both tides but, so far , my clients are 20-1 catching Stripers. Water temp is behind this year to be sure… Continue reading Where are the Bluefish?

Fished two great groups yesterday. We fished from Plum Gut to Watch Hill and everywhere in between.  Morning trip was Paul and Kyle from Las Vegas. Both really good fishermen with lots of SoCal fishing experience. We had to put some miles on the boat but by the time it was over they both boated… Continue reading Two Great Trips!!

Fished with a really fun family from CT yesterday. Father Jon and three adult kids.  We only hit 3 spots in the eastern sound and clobbered the fish at every location.  Stripers to +- legal size were caught with abandon.  At one time I couldn’t see the other side of fish busting on the surface… Continue reading Clobbered the Stripers Today!!
