Mark/Fulton Florida

Another great day with my brother from another Mark/Fulton. Started out on the tuna grounds jigging for tuna and Lindsey got us started on the biggest Yellow Jack I have ever seen, which is the best sashimi! Jigged some muttons and other critters and decided to change gears. Got on some nice bottom and loaded up on muttons and groupers, kept only the bigger ones, easily releasing our limit in a few hours. Lost a couple of giants, probably Goliaths and ended the day early having drinks by the pool.

Marc Jackson Snappers, Grouper, Barracuda

Had my buddy Marc Jackson in town from North Carolina, brought his family and buddy and son along. Decided to bottomfish for some tasty critters, had a nice morning getting our snapper limit, with some keeper Red Grouper.  The kids wanted to land some big Barracudas so we ended the day targeting them!

Key West on the Reefs

Second day in Key West. Rinse and repeat, wtf?! Got our limit of grouper and snapper in short order! Best part of it all in shallow water watching them eat the baits and drags start to scream! Ended the day early and had a buffet 3 different ways at Conch Republic.

Andrea’s Toy Key West

Back down in Florida for second trip, this time ran the boat from West Palm down to Key West. Had the pleasure of hosting Capt Joe Trainor.  This morning started the day on the wahoo troll, mission accomplished, decided to get on the bottom fish Dry Tortugas is famous for, boy it didn't disappoint! Had so many different species of groupers and snappers every drop making my head spin. Half the fish we couldn't stop on the light leaders. But the AFW pink in 20 handled these fish. Thanks to Imperium for their Wahoo lures, they are consistently catching us  fish through Bahamas/Florida. Just finished grilling some Yellowtail tacos and some Yellow jack sashimi Time to get some sleep, spending the night at Fort Jefferson get on it again in am!

Roger Sanford Stripers

Had Roger and the guys out today. Weather forecast kept the boat traffic away and we were happy for that since we were pretty much alone on the feeds. Some really good drifts & some ok drifts but ended with 21 fish for 3 guys and a box of keepers. Conditions deteriorated late morning so we headed in, thanks guys! 

We have 4 spots available this Sat. Dec 6th open boat trip - sailing out of Perth Amboy, NJ. Call/text 201-421-8653 for bookings
