The off shore Blue Fin bite continues to be very consistent, some days are better than others and we are now seeing some bigger fish move in.   For the most part it is a jig bite however some days they want bait and some days they will only hit on the troll but the important thing here is they are biting!

 

Summer is slipping away at an alarming rate, the fishing is as good as it gets and now is the time to go!

I’m happy to report that our first two trips out to the Bluefin grounds were both very fruitful!!!

On Wednesday June 22^nd we made our first trip out to the Bluefin grounds and had fish on within ten minutes of putting the spread out.  We picked away all morning, not going more than 15 minutes without having fish on.  We also tried several times to get them to eat the jigs but it was all a troll bite on this day.  Around mid morning the blue fish moved in so we decided to hit a nearby wreck and found plenty of keeper cod and fat ling to round out the trip.

Back out on Saturday June 25^th to where we left off a few days earlier and again had fish on the troll right away, this time however we were able to get them to eat the jigs.  By the end of the day we had brought well over 40 Bluefin tuna to the boat, keeping our under and letting the rest swim free.  Came close to the over a couple of times but couldn’t find the right one.

Striper fishing remains solid.

Striped Bass fishing does not get better than this anywhere in the world!!  The run is in full swing and we consistently scouring with Bass in the 30 pound class.  The fish are keyed in on the bunker and our live lining trips are producing insane results on live, dead and artificial baits.  Our best fish so far this year is 47 lb brute and I’m sure that a 50 pounder will come over the rail in the next few weeks.

Bass fishing has broken wide open and we are plugging, jigging and living lining quality fish on regular basis.   Don’t miss out, we are running both full and open boat trips, if you’re interested in coming along drop us an email or give a call.

Wow what a crazy cold, snowy, winter….glad that is behind us and spring is finally here!  The Princess is in the water and ready for action.  Over the winter we did our usual laundry list of maintenance, cleaning and painting however this year we installed some new in the floor fish boxes which will enable us to keep the coolers off the deck and clear up a whole bunch more room for fishing.

The crew and I were out for a shakedown cruise last week and I’m happy to report that the boat ran great and the fish are out there waiting for us.  The striper run is well under way and if past years are any indication, it’s shaping up to be another banner year.

Just to get you fired up, here is a video review of last year, chances are if you came out with us you're in the video!

We will be running full and open boat trips starting immediately, dates are already filling up for the spring striper run and wreck fishing season.  Also keep in mind that we have gift certificates available which make a great gift for any occasion.. birthday, father’s day, graduation, etc.

Sadly the 2010 season has come to a close and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out and shared in yet another awesome season.

Striper fishing remains consistent and the fish are stacked like firewood on all the usual spots.  Some days you have to fight your way through the bluefish in order to get to the stripers but as the water cools we are seeing less blues and more stripers.   The limit on Blackfish has been increased to six per person as of Nov 16^th and we already have three Tog over ten pounds.  There is a lot of good fishing to be had before we pull the plug on the 2010 season and I have a few choice dates left open for Striper and Tog!

The crew and I took a break and made our annual trip up to Gloucester to do some Cod fishing, as in years past Dave’s Mom and Dad rolled out the red carpet for us.  The morning started off great, the air was warm, the seas flat and the Cod were biting, then it happen.  We hooked up on monster Giant Blue Fin Tuna.

Another couple of weeks have slipped by in the blink of an eye and here we are in the middle of September, my favor month of the year.  The crowds are gone, the water is warm, the weather is spectacular and the fishing is Awesome!!

We have been really busy both out at the Blue Fin grounds and deep water wrecks.  The Blue Fin Tuna have been ranging from 30/40 pound football size fish all the way up to some real tackle busting 100 pound plus brutes.  When conditions are right we have also been dropping down to some of the deep water wrecks, out near the Tuna grounds, and scoring well with monster size Pollock as well as some cod and ling.  The inshore wrecks are still producing nice catches of Sea Bass, Ling and Black Fish, plus we are starting to see some nice fat trigger fish in the mix as well.

Back out to the Blue Fin grounds but fishing was a little slow so we decided to take a chance a drop down on a nearby wreck.  As soon as the jigs hit the bottom the guys were locked up and doubled over with some hard fighting Pollock.  When the dust had settled we’d got the skunk out of the box and replaced it with some Pollack, Ling and Cod.
