Full Day Montauk Porgies

Night Striped Bass Captain Ant reports a very good night of Bassing overall once we found the where the Moo Cows were grazing.  We started at our jigging spot but had to deal with the slack tide.  We managed a few keepers but double the amount of shorts so we MOOOved on after about an hour of combing.  The next spot produced 1, but a larger one.  Next drift none, we MOOOved on.  Finally we had a 2 fish drift…we weren’t MOOOVING.  We drilled it out for the rest of the night with 1 or 2 a drift but all slobs.  We totaled 6 fish in the 30’s including pool winner Chris Hunter from MOOOntauk with a 38.1lber.  Chris “Cool Hand” Luke had a 36.7.  And then there were the young ladies…14 Year old Jenna Fusco nailed a 36.6lber and…

Half Day Fluke PM Captain Joe reports a good afternoon of fishing today. Again we had mostly nice fluke, but we pulled up some more porgies and really nice sea bass. There is a full moon coming up, and we think that after the moon the porgy and sea bass bite will just continue to get better and better. Today’s first place pool winner was Paul Houstin of Lowdow UK with a 6.7 lb fluke and in second place was Allyson Matty of Plainview NY with a 6.1 lb fluke. Full Day Montauk Porgy and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a slower day of fishing today. There was no wind and not much to the tide, so in the hotter weather it wasn’t as good fishing as yesterday. We still made out with a decent amount of fish. Today’s pool…

Flood Chaser Striped Bass Capt Ant reports that we grinded out a catch last night on Flood Chaser Bass, but it was grueling. It seemed every drift started with a fish and followed with a dud. the elbow area was overtaken with gorilla blues and after having only one bass where we bailed them on Thursday, we moved on. Next spot we had one then three, then 0, 0, 0… We tried about 7 other rocks and again 1 here 1 there… On our last drop we had a beauty, the pool winner, a MOO COW LINESIDER caught by Donna Dersch from Syosset, NY. It weighed in at 38lb 17oz! JB Breitstone from Long Beach NY took second place with a 30lb 7oz striper. Overall we caught a fillet a fare. Mike Sadowski had his limit to 20lbs. Half Day…

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…

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…
