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

Bahamas Day 2

Day 2 in Paradise. Started off with a bang getting 2 nice wahoo. Got on the reef for a drift and got muttons, strawberry groupers, cudas until the sharks showed up and they were hungry. In the afternoon we put away the fishing gear and got out the snorkel gear and look for lobster, and that worked out well and we had ourselves set up for a great dinner. Blackened wahoo, Grilled lobster tails in garlic butter, conch fritters with mac cheese and peas and rice.
