Kelly Leach Blues

Had Kelly Leach and son and his buddies out today. All Kelly wanted was the boys to have rod bending action all day. Started in ocean on blitzing blues, had dozens, then hit some wrecks for ling, just tons of throwback seabass. Tried fluking, not much happening so went back to more blues to finish a fun day!

Dan Albanese Stripers

A couple days ago had Dan Albanese and crew out of stripers. Odd drifting conditions but put together a solid catch boxing a limit of stripers and plenty of releases up to Kevin's 36" fat healthy fish. The bass are starting to fill into their summertime habits and it's shaping up to be a great summer of striped bass fishing!

Had Sam Angelo back again for stripers. Bankers hours trip we left at 9am but had a slow start. Finally found some fish to work on and put the live bunker to use and fell one short of the crews 5 person limit.

Frank Moran Stripers

Had Frank Moran with the Crowleys out for stripers. Gave them the option to go sea bassing and they said they wanted to get on the stripers. Made our bunker easily and picked away at the stripers. Had a nice couple of drifts that made the day getting our limit and releasing a few more for another day.

Evan Refvik Sea Bass

Had Evan Refvik out today and the guys elected to target sea bass. We caught 40 keeper sea bass with some ling and even a mackerel in the mix. Good fishing on both the jigs and bait. Snagged some bunker on the way in to try and top the box off with a striper or two but our bites didn't come tight. Great day with beautiful weather! 

Sam Angelo Stripers

Had Sam Angelo for stripers- bait took a little while but once we got our bait it was game on. Never hot and heavy but easy limit with some doubles and plenty of releases. Beautiful weather was the cherry on top!

First canyon trip - First Tuna

Had our first canyon trip today. Conditions weren't ideal. Not able to cruise at optimal speeds to canyons, but made it happen. Got to the grounds and got our first tuna of 2025 on our favorite @chatterlures Purple Wingman. Dropped down to jig tiles and @uvtfishing jigs got the job done on golden tiles.

Dave Frankel Stripers

Had Dave Frankel and guys out today- found some bunker in the bay and picked fish here and there missing a bunch of other bites unfortunately. Never hot and heavy but ended up putting a catch together falling just short of our limit.

Yuda Sea Bass

Brian Priest Stripers

Did our last trip in Raritan Bay with Brian Priest, landing half dozen fish in short order, even though the fog was thick decided to stretch her legs and ran out looking for inshore tuna, fog finally lifted and saw 1 feed, casts didnt hit the mark and never saw them again.

Fish On Tournament Stripers

Andreas Toy hosted the annual Fish On Tournament, 3rd year in a row, it included close to a dozen local Capts to benefit a worthy cause. There were 62 anglers with most boats putting up some good #'s with windy conditions. 

On the 31 Capt Greg's group caught over a dozen fish on live bunker boxing a limit of keepers and releasing the rest. Not bad considering the windy conditions and first time saltwater anglers. Didn't win "heaviest keeper" but had a great time.

Drew Carlson Stripers

In the afternoon on the 31 had Drew Carlson and the guys out and despite the slower start landed on a good bite in the middle of the trip which ended with a bang running thru all of our baits and leaving them biting. Great trip with first time live liners.

David Hockenberry Stripers

On the 31 in the morning Capt Greg and Shane had David Hockenberry out and what an incredible trip. Loaded our well and in one 45 min drift blew thru all of our baits. One, two, three on at a time- the kind of bite you hit the bottom and just start pulling on fish. Had our limit in a few minutes of fishing. Re threw the new and got some more bait to continue picking through the morning.

Dan Pilliteri Stripers

Had Dan and John Pilliteri back for there annual trip. Got our bait and off we went. John got us started with the biggest fish of the day at 36 inches that had to go back. After that was a slow pick for us. Slow fishing but a gorgeous day out.

Alan Kulesza Stripers

Had Alan Kulesza back today for stripers. Heavy fog today but had steady action throughout the trip on the live bunker. Jason Marshall caught his first few stripers today as well to round off our limit of keeper stripers. Ended the day with a nice flurry where we ran out of bait and headed in right before the rain

Kevin Barbalet Stripers

Capt Greg had Kevin Barbalet out today for stripers. In two throws of the net filled our live well. Had fish right away and made a move to get on a good bite on live bunker. Fun day thanks guys

Craig Service Group Stripers

Had Todd Craigs boys out today. Got our bait and first drift got our limit. Today the rookie Steve led the way 7 fish for high hook honors. Greg had 6 but had the biggest at 36 inches. Great job boys!

Larry DeLuise

On the 39 had Larry DeLuise back with Joe, and new to striper fishing Jason and Mark. None of the guys had ever livelined but with my Pure Luv coaching style they got good quickly. Larry led the way with half a dozen to 37 inches, rest of the guys popping their cherries! Great morning of fishing!

Glenn Kaufman Stripers

On the 31 had out Glenn Kaufman and the Citi crew- netted 100+ bunker in short order and made our way. Had our 8 man limit and released 5 overs in under 15 minutes of fishing. The guys put on a clinic today and we fished until we ran out of bunker. Didn't get many pics as the fishing was hot and heavy. Excellent day of striper fishing again!

Dan Kelly Stripers

In the afternoon had Dan Kelly with a bunch of first timers as well. Another stellar livelining session only making three drifts all afternoon holding fish the entire time and blowing thru 80 baits in a couple hours. 

Mark Kuminski Stripers

Had first timer Mark Kuminski out for stripers today. Tough getting bait but once we started fishing it was lights out, instant bites for an hour straight and then steady picking and left them biting! Hard to beat for their first time livelining bunker for striped bass. 

Craig Service Group Stripers

In the afternoon had the Craig Service Group out and landed on a nice pile of stripers. Fished until we ran out of bait and were able to beat the rain in with a box of keepers and many releases, thanks guys! 

Dan Kelly Stripers

On the 31 in the morning Capt Greg had Dan Kelly and family out. The guys did great right off the bat catching a bunch of "overs". Took a ride and only found a few fish to show for our efforts. Landed on a good bite boxing our limit of keepers
