His crew of guys. Guys wanted to start out with

Stripers making it a very successful trip. Look forward
To getting the guys out again!

Offshore Bottom-Fishing "Quickie"

Got a call from Regulars Adam and Larry with a severe case of cabin fever, felt the same to get my fish itch scratched. Rounded up a crew with Mike and Josh filling in and watched the weather. Had a very small weather window and made our way offshore, hit a wreck which I didnt suspect had much on it, wrong! First drift had 5lb seabass coming up with nice market sized cod. Came back around anchored and pounded the wreck for an hour, landed over half a dozen cod to 15lbs, and over 50 Seabass to 6lbs. With wind beginning to honk we headed back in with one of the boxes loaded up.

Bottom fishing with Oscar Carillo

Had Oscar back out for his fill the freezer trip. First wreck he landed half a dozen cod to start the trip. after that action slowed we changed gears and went on the hunt for Bluefin. Had 72 degree clean green water but after a few hours of no luck hit another couple of wrecks. Had a decent pick of seabass and ling to finish the day. Enjoy the eats Oscar!

Bottom Fishing Trip with the Farkas Family Charter

Had Bob Senior, Junior, brother Glen, and daughters Daisha and Jennifer. The crew had won a 4 hour trip through a raffle to raise money for Breast Cancer through Clarks Landing. Loaded the crew and went to the first wreck, divers were there which made us have to switch gears, next wreck had a lot of life, was getting a steady pick going of seabass and lots of ling with Jennifer getting a doubleheader when a storm started heading our way. Made the decision to head inshore and fish the river for fluke, that was a bust. Had a great time with a fun family!

Overnight Canyon trip with the Pat Barr Charter

Had Cheryl call me to give her husband Pat his 50th Birthday Gift, he brought his son Mike and buddy Joe. Left the inlet in search for Bluefin, no luck, made some drifts on wrecks for Cod and Pollack no luck, made a run for the canyon, got there and found all the life we wanted, whales, porpoises and bait but no tuna. Changed gears and started tilefishing, had a fast drift that made it tough but nailed half a dozen goldens and bluelines. Went back on the troll still no luck, set up for the night, no bites until 330 when we had a monster on a jig, fought the beast for half an hour making no head way till hook pulled, damn. Went on the troll but again life but no tuna, changed gears again and went light tackle mahi fishing, had plenty of bites with many fished miss but all of the guys got in on the action. Picked up and ran inshore to look for bluefin, greeted by big nasty bluefish. Ended the day getting Seabass and ling. Fun day with all of the guys catching their first tiles and mahi.

Mixed Bag Offshore Trip with the Adam Conley Charter

Had Adam out for the first time offshore after numerous Striper trips. He had is usual buddies of Mike, Pat and Andy. Due to hectic shedules we made the run today in less than favorable conditions, got to our spot and saw lots of life, birds,whales, turtles, marking bait and fish. On the troll we had knockdowns but big seas made it tough to troll. Hit a wreck and bagged a dozen nice Cod and Baseball bat ling. Went on the drift chunking and jigging, the Brown Sharks and Bluefish made getting the baits to tuna impossible. On the way home hit a wreck for 20 keeper seabass and ling.

Seabassing with the Randy Jones and the Blues Brothers Crew

Had Randy coordinate a Blues brothers outing with Reel Class and Megan Beth for their club members. Had members Carl, Mike, Lou, Glenn, and Steve, tried to make bait early but only had half a dozen livies in the well. Tried a few drifts but no luck, went into Seabass mode, first 2 spots and we had 50 keeper seabass in the box. Went back on the Striper hunt, after an hour guys wanted more seabass, went and got some more. Tried one more try for the Stripers again no luck, ended the day with a good pick of Seabass, had over a 100 keepers for the crew until we had the a huge fish on, after a major battle by Carl I slid the net under a beautiful 15.5 pound Tog, what an awesome fish and even cooler release.
