Todd Craig Offshore Trip

Had Todd Craig back with the boys Nick, Tom and Mark. None of the guys had any saltwater offshore experience. Started the trip away from the fleet, by ourselves and had some fun,

once the fish came under the boat  game was on! Dropped the Nomad jigs in 120 and 80 grams and games was on. All the guys popped there tuna cherries! After that went jigging for tiles on the nomad jigs, all of them popped their tilefish cherries on Streaker and ridgeback in larger sizes. Got the trifecta on mahis popping all the guys tuna cherries on 20 gram ridgebacks. Ended the trip jigging juvenile bluefin on the 20 gram ridgebacks for Bluefin Collaborative fin clip study. Great day for the boys

Jim P Bonito and Fluke

Capt Greg had Jim P with his dad and son on board. Decided to start with some inshore speedsters and caught some bonito with an Albie mixed in on Nomad Ridgeback Long Cast 20g and 40g jugs. Switched over to fluke and put a couple of keepers in the box including Barrett's 23 inch fluke. Not a ton of pics but put together a nice box 

John Vanator Offshore

Had John Vanator with brother Jim and son Joe with buddy Josia. Started out jigging and livelining on great life for tuna no luv. Went on troll same. Customers flew in from Michigan and wanted fresh fish. Switched gears to accommodate them, started with mahi which were cooperative, easily landing over 30. Switched to tiles and Nomad jigs to 420 grams was the ticket!

Tim Conway Offshore Mixed Bag

Had Tim Conway with family and friends today. Started out with a yellow to get the day started, was slow on troll. Decided to run and gun  under the skippies for yellows but no luck just landed skippies. Changed gears and had a tilefish beat down getting double headers bluelines and nice goldens. Went looking for more surface action on tuna but no life so switched up and had a nice bite on the mahi to end the day.

Tom Mallan Offshore Tuna, Tiles, Mahi

Had Tom Mallan out for the first time with us, with son Thomas and buddies Chris and Joe. Started out throwing poppers and soft plastics to nice 60 pound yellows getting half a dozen. Changed gears and landed 15 bluelines to 20lbs, Rasta 420 gram Streaker was the hot lure. Then got on some light tackle mahis. 

Todd Craig Tuna and Seabass

Had Todd Craig and the boys out today, popped the tuna cherries of Jesse, Alex and Rich, after some catch and release went looking for some cobia, no luck. Ended the day jigging our limit of seabass on Nomad Ridgebacks.

Brock Family Summer Stripers

Had Jay Brock and family out today before Nathan leaves for college in Florida. Started off striper fishing and saw a solid bite despite the lack of tide. Nathan caught his first striper and the rest of the crew as well. After they had their striper fill we switched over to fluking where the lack of drift really hurt us. Caught some shorts and headed home to round out a beautiful morning before this weather comes in tomorrow.
