Capt. Ray reported the Striper fishing last night was EXCELLENT with a lot of good size bass coming over the rails including three fish over 20lbs and anglers caught all the good size choppers into the lower teens that they wanted as well with lots of action throughout the night. Tonight we sail at 7pm so call us to reserve a spot and get in on this exciting night fishery!!!
Capt. Don reported a good bunch of scup and sea bass for customers aboard the AM half day and a few nice fluke to boot plus some shorts and sea robins made for an action packed morning.

Capt. Paul reported the 8am full day fluke boat had a fair pick of good size fluke, scup to 2.5lbs and sea bass to 4lbs the first half of the day and then the bite just quit the second half. Hi hook for the day had 5 good keepers to 4lbs out of a catch of 14 fish. Largest fluke was 5.5lbs but the pool was taken by a behemoth 13lb alligator bluefish! Now that is a chopper! Next 8am full day fluke boat sets sail tomorrow morning aboard the Admiral Frances.

Capt. Mike reported the 7am eastern full day fluke boat saw an improvement in the fishing and is back in the good column. Anglers boated quite a few quality fluke including three fish over 7.5lbs with the biggest a fine 9lb slab. A fair bunch of good size sea bass and some bluefish mixed in as well. Next 7am full day fluke and sea bass boat is the Gail Frances tomorrow morning.
