Trip Summary

I had Mark and Rich McMullin out for a six hour inshore shark trip today. We set up along the 20 fathom curve, and managed to catch and release 2 Mako while having a third runoff that never came tight. There wasn't much other life in the area, but we stopped and started to chum because there were several slicks indicating to me that fish were in the area. We did see one turtle just before the first Mako hit.

It looks like the Nor'easter is finally pulling out. I'll be ready to start fishing again Monday, October 14th. Sea bass are back in season, and some nice ones are available. Stripers are on their way. but still will not get here for a few weeks. Pictured is a 51.5 incher caught at wreck inlet in October of 2004.

We fished with the Kotouch's Saturday and Sunday. Royce, Chris, Steve, and Ryan did really well Saturday, and okay Sunday. Saturdays was a 10 hour offshore trip, and they could have filled the boat with ling (red hake). They kept 32 along with 3 nice sea bass, and 5 Mahi-Mahi. Today was a 6 hr near shore shark trip, and Ryan caught a small black tip shark. We then came back into the bay after drifting for about 3 miles along the 30 foot line and catching no fluke. But, we had several small fluke along with small sea bass in the bay along with Ryan's fluke at 19". In the offshore we were throwing Riptide B&T bunker chunks for the mahi-mahi, and the bunker chum drew-in the black tip.

We had the Nagele group out today catching sea bass. They caught their 6 man limit of sea bass with the largest going 19". We caught about 200 total fish including tautog (released), Spiny dogfish (released), and smooth dog fish (released). It was a beautiful day on the ocean. We anchored using the trolling motor over five wrecks in 68' to 95'. Now is the time to book your next sea bass trip.
