Monday July 8 Sunset Stripers Capt. Ant reports a very successful Sunset Striper trip…we saw the sunset, we caught some Stripers!!!!  We hit the lighthouse and only caught a couple of rats on the first 3 drifts but we didn’t quite have the tide so we ventured on to try a spot we haven’t been to in awhile.  Bust…luckily it was only 10 minutes away so we headed back.  Once again fish were everywhere, from top to bottom on the machine and swirling on the surface and once again they were tough to catch.  3 on the first drift, none on the second, 2 on the third…uggh!!!  We had a couple fluke come up including a 6lber which had a 30lb Striper literally hanging on it’s tail.  At one point we had a pod of bass right under the pulpit…

Sunday July 7

Sunset Stripers Captain Ant reports a solid Sunday Sunset Striper 4 hour jigging trip.  Once again the fish were rolling everywhere but very difficult to catch.  The fluke however were chewing their heads off as we probably had about 20 caught yielding 5 keepers to 6lbs…on 8oz diamond jigs on a 3.7 knot drift.  We had a few scup as well and of course monster Sea Bass, returned for only another 2 days of freedom!!! We did manage to nail a dozen Stripers, but again scratching and clawing and great effort by our fisherman, they worked hard all trip!!  Fish ranged between 14″ to 24 pounds. Pool winners were:Joe Veltri Middle Island, NY with a 18lber Second Place Mr Robert Mitchell from Elmont, NY with a 13lb 9oz Half Day Fluke AM Captain Anthony reports a tough day fishing today…

Saturday July 6

Night Striped Bass Capt Ant reports a difficult night of bassing for crew and captain. We had full on flood, zipped right to the light to find fish everywhere. the screen was lit up from top to bottom, fish rolling on the surface, yet no bites. We scratched and clawed all night. Frank Stoutenberg limited out and took the pool with a 26lb fish novelist George Jehn had a 22 pounder Frank Graci nailed a fat 18lber. It wound up okay but should have been a slam. looking forward to tonights Jigging trip to try again. Half Day Fluke PM Fishing was a little slow this afternoon. We got out as the tide was dying so the fishing was tougher until towards the end,and  by then it was time to head home. We ended up with a few keepers, and…

Friday July 5

Block Island Behemoth Trophy Hunt- UPDATED REPORT We got to our honey hole with a trickle of flood tide, but plenty of breeze left to help move the Starship.  After about 10 passes all around the rock, we had a whole lot of nothing to show for it.  No bait, not tide, no fish.  We moved on from there and explored a couple different areas but again, even when marking fish, they just would not bite.  We finally got a drift, around 1.2 kts so we went back to the “Rock”.  Drifting due east we got our first bite, then second, then third.  3 fish, 3 slobs feeding on the slow moving water. Every fish was green as could be.  Danny Wes had the largest at 48lb 8 oz and I swear it fought with the energy of a schoolie…

Thursday July 4

Thursday July 4 Captain Ant reports an OUTSTANDING night of bassing.  We caught consistently the entire night starting with jigging 18-25lb bass in the black fog.  It wasn’t a slam but each drift produced 1-3 keepers on the jigs, and these fish were green giving the angers a fight to remember.  With the fog at hand it got dark quick so we switched to the eels and picked the rest of the night with decent size fish.  We had a few anglers catch their limit and/or catch their first bass ever.  James and James (dad and son) whacked the two biggest fish of the night with younger James taking home the pool. Just a reminder, we head off to Block Island tonight on the overnight Behemoth Hunt and have two trips scheduled for tomorrow night with the Flood Chaser leaving…

Wednesday July 3

Night Striped Bass Captain Anthony can finally say MOOOOO! We got them big last night, late but big! We caught the last of the flood and the fish were stacked! We were only able to manage 1 keeper and 1 shorty in these drifts. We bailed the scup and fluke on the jigs so at least rods were bending. We sat through 2 full hours of lull, lost a couple of nice bites, but with an hour to go the big boys started biting. We had a total of 4 fish over 30lbs! George “Novelist” Jehn nailed a 38.5lb and a 31.7lb striped bass. Gunther Vanderdoesch took with pool with a 38lb 8 oz striper and Chase Derasmi took second place with his 33lb striper. Justin, Bryan and Jesse did a phenomenal job assisting all of the anglers aboard the…
