Dan Kelly Stripers

Had Dan Kelly and Joey out today- netted bait and only picked a couple so mid morning took a ride looking and wow the life was amazing. Great fishing with double ups on Shad Life 6" paddle tails and Kroc spoons. Great fishing in some less than favorable weather but well worth the bouncy sea conditions! 

One spot left on our open boat this Saturday 11/15 PM out of Perth Amboy $190 per spot. Call/text 201-421-8653 to book

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.
