Joe Mihalyi Canyon

Had first timer to offshore Joe Mihalyi and the boys for a mixed bag trip. Boy was it ever! Started the trip jigging yellows on the UVT jigs, then we ran to canyon to load up on mahi and tiles eating the UVT jigs. Came back to the scene of the crime for a great top water bite on the UVT poppers!

Rich Walsh Tuna Mahi

Had Rich Walsh and the boys out today. Started out on a crazy bonito bite, things then slowed, got a bluefin on UVT jig to pop Garrets cherry. Went looking around and found Log loaded with mahi, nailed a bunch of them. Finally found some great life with Rays and chicks and the boys went to work with the UVT jigs. William got in the action popping his cherry!

Andy & Jeremy tuna

Had regulars Andy and Jeremy back today. Ran offshore and found the life, took a while to connect, but when we did it was solid fishing for hours. Chatter purple mini and purple squids got all the bites on the troll with mix of yellowfin and bluefin.

Later in day marked them deep while mahi fishing a log, and had a nice BFT to 44 inches on a UVT jig!

Shio Family Summer Stripers

Capt Greg and Lucas had Henry Shio with his son and grandson out for summertime stripers. Netting bunker was easy and the fishing was good as well. We got our limit fairly easily and had many other releases- steady pick throughout the day. First time striper live bait fishing and they picked it up with ease. A great day with three generations of the Shio family and friend Gabe.

Larry Canyon Tuna

Had Larry and Scott back out with there sons for some offshore fishing, first time tunafishing for most of them. As soon as we got to the grounds had instant action, all the boys got to bend the rod on the smaller bluefins till the yellowfins showed up. Ended the morning with 3 yellows and 2 blues. Decided to give them the full offshore experience. Ran to canyon, tilefishing conditions horrible only getting small blueline, pots were barren from mahi, so made decision to head back to tuna grounds, got some yellows and bluefin to end the day on a high note.

Open Boat Canyon

Great day with the regulars today, started on the yellowfin grounds, had half a dozen  to start the day on the new Chatter Purple Mini Bullets, knew they would kill it! Had a few opportunities casting but couldn't connect. Did some mahi and tiles getting only 1 nice mahi. On the way home ran into a slick with tons of chicks and again the Purple Bullet crushed the yellows and under limit of Bluefin to fish of 42 inches.

Insurance Card

Canyon on 44FA

Had a morning session on my old 44FA with a bunch of friends. Ran out to the canyons not much happening, ran back inshore where we saw the life and had a pick up yellowfin and bluefin. Did see hundreds of tuna on surface but wouldn't eat anything. Back at dock early today after a fun day with the guys.

Vinny T Stripers

Capt Greg and Shane had Vinny T and the boys out for stripers. Got on them right after getting our bunker but that fizzled and we bounced around for while with a lull in the action waiting for conditions to align. Got on a good bite to end the day and put in a little overtime to get the guys five keepers to take home.

Charlie Bush Stripers

Had Charlie Bush with 9 people out for stripers so did a joint trip with dock neighbor Morning Dew. Yvette led the charge with a 40" fish right off the bat and then we managed to a few keepers in the box. Great way to beat the heat was being on the water!

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!

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!

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!

Had our first canyon trip today. Conditions weren't ideal. Not able to cruise at optimal speeds to canyons, but made it happen.
