Big bass and keepers on most trips!

As of August 4, fishing remains strong. On a charter on August 2, a father and son each caught a 39 inch striper, plus smaller fish, including a keeper bass to bring home. Bass over 40 inches are being caught on many trips, and keeper bass caught on most every trip.

Follow the Captain's information closely as to the fish you are going to target in order to manage your expectations. Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to pull lobster pots as expected.

Ted is the best most accommodating captain I have ever been with. But the time he took to talk with my boys was over and above. His knowledge of the history of the place was like having a private tour guide. Can't recommend him enough.
