Wishing everyone a Happy and Joyous Holi

Dec 16, 2025 New York City

As the 2025 season winds down want to thank all of those who shared their fishing adventure with me. I'll be in Fort Pierce Florida for the winter, so I look forward to fishing with you down south. Some new additions and programs will be posted soon so I hope you can check back in from time to time. depending on the weather I'll be back in New York sailing from jamaica Bay /Raritan Bay & Croton stalking trophy striped bass and all species in season. With over 50 years on the bay, I want to share my love of fishing and experience with you. Book early for prime dates, happy Holidays and tight lines. Until the next tide... Captain Vinnie

Ok Paul was informed to come earlier When fishing for trophy strippers it is critical to fish the proper tide on Paul’s spring trip he caught and caught well When netting live baits it’s important especially in this hot weather to leave early He was also offered a complimentary trip His lack of success was directly a result of him not following our advice. If you look at trips before and after, you will see monster catches!
