Night Striped Bass Midnight Moo Cow Madness On the Midnight trip we went back to the same grounds to see if the fish we marked were hungry.  They were thankfully but still not very aggressive as we picked our way through the night and morning.  Overall a good trip. A few guys had their limit and most had 1 for the table.  We also had a slew of blues and sea bass who were hungry enough to inhale the eels. First place pool winner was Matthew Sheehy of Moriches with a 33.75lb striped bass, and in second was Michael Collins of Sayville with a 32.35lb striped bass.   Here are some pix with the gorgeous sun rising as we head west: . Half Day Fluke AM Captain Stephan Francis reports the morning trip had a lot of beautiful sea bass…

Night Striped Bass Jig & Eel Combo Capt Ant reports a tale of two tides for the 6p trip and the Midnight Madness trip.  One being fair and the other, well let’s just say painful. On the 6p we had wind against Ebb tide and the Starship felt like it was drifting in mud.  We had plenty of marks but I’m thinking the slower speed prevented a feeding frenzy that was the night before.  Even the blues weren’t as abundant.  We only managed a couple of keepers, a Moo Cow by James Esposito of Shoreham at 30lbs and an 18lber by Martin Wellen Dowd from NYC for 2nd.

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports a slow start to last nights trip but once we got the tide we had a BEHEMOTH BLAST for the last 2 and a half hours.  Overall the trip was fantastic with many of our regular guests catching multiple Moo Cows.  Practice makes perfect and these guys just know the way these big boys bite.  Chad the Shad had  4 to 35lbs,  George “new book our soon” Jehn had 4 to 37lbs and Gary “Big Fish” Young had 4 to 38lbs.  All retained their limit.  Joe Pagillo limited to 30, Dan Bender and Ivan Grvic each had 32lbers.  Scott Goldman had his limit as well but he landed a Behemoth at 40lbs .  Jimmy “Keepon Reeling” Thieling from Deer Park had his largest ever at 41.3lbs and that Behemoth took 2nd Place.   Scott…

Night Striped Bass Captain Ant reports a slower trip on the local bass front due to the storm muddied waters. We picked a few and all were beauties, but once the mud rolled in, it was over. George Jehn hacked a mammoth fish. First place pool winner was a young lady with a nice 38lb striped bass and in second place was Chris Luke with a 30lb bass. Based on the water condition locally, the Saturday trips will be going to Block Island. Please reserve ASAP! We are SOLD OUT for tonight!! .

Jig Eel Combo Night Bass Capt Ant reports a very frustrating 6a Bass trip.  The fish were there, they were biting, but it was just one of those trips where whatever could go wrong went wrong.  Tangles, missed bites, break-offs…uggh we all know some days we have to make the most of a bite because sometimes you only get one.  We landed about 20% of hook-ups/ bites.  That being said we had another molly-whopper thanks to Matt Stanton.  A 40.3lber, Matts largest Bass ever.  Gary “BigFish” had a beauty in the upper 30’s.  All fish caught were quality at 25lbs or higher. Midnight Madness Capt Ant reports the MADNESS from the earlier trip quickly vanished as another euphoric madness took over.  During our first drift and we knew it would be game-on for the entire tide and for the most…

Night Striped Bass Full Moon Special Well it was a slower night for the raging flood tide, not as we had hoped on the super moon.  Fish were marked but a very slow pick…it seemed we got one here one there all night.  Thomas Aiello took 1st with a 39lb slob and Jack Miov for the 3rd time in 3 trips had his luck hold up with a 38.3lber. Full Day Fluke and Sea Bass Capt Carl reports a decent day in the full day boat. Again, we were in search of the big flukes we have been seeing and again, we caught some, but not in the great numbers we have been seeing. Some anglers did good, and some not so good. We did see a lot more sea bass than we have been seeing, with some limits. Overall…

Montauk Local Porgies and Jumbo Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a little slower on the porgy grounds but we did manage lots of nice sea bass and some keeper fluke and 1 striped bass in the mix. The Pool winner was Mr Donald Moy with a 3lb
