James Mullen Stripers

Had James Mullen and friends out today for their first time with us. Caught one and missed a few right off the bat and thought it would explode but it did not. Took a ride and got on some fish picking away at them to put a nice day together. Last pic is how James cooked some of the fish!

Keith Brothers Stripers

Had longtime customer Keith Brothers out today with chef John from his restaurant Brothers Daley Sea bright.  Plan was to loom for bluefin, but could not find the bait from the weekend due to sea conditions. So we made a quick pit stop for stripers, with Keith landing a nice 48 incher on the first drift. Once conditions improved went back and the hunt to look for bluefin to no avail.

If you guys want a trophy striper, Now is the time to book!

Bobby Brazicki Offshore

Had Bobby Brazicki and his boys RJ and Andrew with buddy Tom out. Worked some draggers only hooking big sharks. Ran to canyon and found loads Of skipjack and small yellows. After jigging a few, played with some mahi, and got a nice 20lb golden. Resumed the hunt for tuna, no luck.

Inshore Pelagics

Inshore pelagic trip with the regulars today. Decided to test the inshore waters and was very pleased with results. Started jigging bonitos and albies which the crew enjoyed. Made a move and started chumming with the live peanuts, after that the UVT chief jigs worked their magic.
