Half Day Fluke

Block Island Behemoth Trip Capt. Ant reports an excellent fishing trip across the pond on Friday night.  We started the night with slack tide and found Behemoths immediately except they were Behemoth Bluefish and they were stacked solid.  The first hour was spent with rods bent in half with the 15-18lb Choppers…just like bluefishing of old.  Once we started drifting around 1.4 knots we had our first two bass of the night, the first one would turn out to be the pool winning Moo Cow and a true Behemoth at 43.2lbs caught by Justin Cannarelli of Center Moriches.  Once we got over 2 kts, the bite died other than a 29″ fish by George “Pulitzer” Jehn.  We made a wiggle and found a mix of bass and blues, this piece yielded a 29.6lber among other 15-25lb fish.  But again the…

Block Island Behemoth Striped Bass Friday July 19 Block Island Behemoth Bass   Captain Ant reports a Bassacre over at the Island last night and this morning.  From start to finish it was multi fish drifts and ended the night totaling 52 keeper BI Bass.  We had to change zone…s due to last nights breeze and a moon ebb tide and we found perfect drifting conditions, and catching conditions.  Several fares had their limit including our good friend Rodney from Delaware, Frank Stoutenberg, Mike Sadowski, John Rewinski, just to name a few. Joe Khamis, the Derby winner two years ago did his best to get atop the leader board but only managed a 38.2lb Block Island Behemoth.  Most fish were in the 20lb class last night, still quality but plenty of quantity along with it.  Here are a few photos,…

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…

There were also a few small pollacks, tons of cunners, a couple sow hake, and other wreck dwellers. Coolers were full by the end of the day, so we steamed overnight back to coxes ledge for day two.
