Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports an okay day of fishing today. We stopped midway and had a good steady pick of mostly smaller sized porgies, and then made our way to Block and picked up some nice cod, jumbo porgies and a few sea bass. We moved again and had 2 really great drifts for sea bass and then the rest of the afternoon was a little quiet. All in all it was an okay day and everyone left happy. Today’s pool winner was David Lee of Flushing with a 3.75 lb porgy.

Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain reports a bit of a slow day today in Block Island. The porgy bite was a bit off, but the ones we managed to get were a very nice size. We also had some really nice size sea bass, and a few keeper cod in the mix. A big thanks to Harvey Broadnax and gang from Michigan who fished with us for 2 days in a row and caught a bunch of fish! Today’s first place pool winner was Anastasios Tsiatis of Bellmont with a 4lb porgy and in second was Danny Ko of Brooklyn with an 8lb cod.

Full Day Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a slower day of fishing over at Block than we have seen lately. The Porgies were slower to come over the rails but on a positive note we caught a bunch of quality jumbo Sea Bass. Sandy Amanuel of Manhattan won the Porgy pool with a 4lb Porgy. The edible pool winner today was Alvin Joseph who caught himself a nice 12lb Bluefish. 2 Day Tuna Capt Carl reports a decent tuna bite during the day, but a slow night. The first day we picked up a couple albacore trolling around, as well as some mahi mahi. The night bite never turned into much, with just some mystery bites and some blue sharks. We picked up a couple more albacore on the second day both trolling and jigging. Greg Jenkins took the tuna…

3 Day Full Moon Tuna and Sword Ultra LTD Capt. Carl reports a pretty tough trip for our 3 Day Tuna/Sword trip. We started off trolling on Day 1 with whales, dolphins, and bait all around the boat but we only stopped for a couple of mahi mahi. Finally, late in the afternoon, we ran into some albacore and got 4 out of five on one pass. We made a couple more passed in the area but that’s all we got, so we anchored up and almost immediately landed a nice yellowfin on the chunk. For the rest of the night, however, we did not land anymore tunas. We did land and release 2 small swordfish, and had a couple other bites but nothing else boated. We started trolling again early the next morning and hooked up with some more…

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports another excellent night of Bassing with 53  Stripers caught as well as a mess of Beautiful Blues.  It wasn’t the mayhem of Thursday’s trip, just consistent action every drift until the tide died out on us.  We also had to deal with the weekend Googans doing 20 knots through the biomass and about 75 boats fishing the same zone so obviously it scattered the linesiders.  All in all, we still put the meat in the box!! Returnees from Thursday, George Jehn and Chris Luke one again had their limit.  Chris’ better half Michelle made her first trip and landed her first Starship keeper, then told Chris he needed to buy her a rod of her own…ah what could be more romantic:):)….Doug Seay, who has had at least one bass his last 5 trips didn’t…

Full Moon Night Striped Bass Capt Ant has just one thing to say, GET IT WHILE THE GETTIN IS GREAT!!! 41 fares, 77 Striped beauties. It was an unbelievable night. The moon lit up the sky, the moo cow linesiders lit up the bottom machine and at the end if the night the anglers lit up victory cigars!  Every drift produced 5-10 bass with only a few blues in the mix. It wasn’t easy, you really had to let them eat and that’s tough in a 4 knot tide, but those who got it down were rewarded. George Jehn, author of Flying to close to the Sun, available on amazon, was high hook with 7. Chris Luke a close second with 6, Danny Wes with 5. Frank the Greaser Stoutenberg nailed 3 in the last hour alone. All retaining their…
