August 28th
This past week was a little slow fishing for stripers. The beginning of the week was good but then I had one bad day with no bass at all. This was my first time in many years. I hated it!! We did have a few good days too. See below. So the next day after that, I took my charter cod fishing off shore, 20 miles for the same price.
There we caught a few nice cod fish. The reason for the lack of stripers was that the live bait moved out of the harbor during the Northeaster last week. The bait and bass will move back in shortly.
On the positive side the cod has been real good and so has the school tuna fish.
Lots of tuna sighted during out last cod trip. Just call me and I will give you a truthful answer. (Click here for tuna clip)
We had this tuna right up to the boat and the hook came out. They fought the fish for over an hour last week.

Last week was another good week. All trips with nice fishing. This week the blues were in most of the week. Lots of birds following the blues but one day they were all keeper bass. As you can see in these pictures. Kevin went out two days in a row with lots of action.
We went for a short tuna trip on the 17th and a young foot ball quarterback fought a giant for one hour and pulled the hook just 10 feet from the back of the boat. Still a very fun trip for anyone onboard. See some of the fight here on FaceBook.
This week I am booked until Monday the 23rd. Call for the next week or two.

This past week has been pretty good. Lots of keepers and a couple
around 45 inches. We did have a couple of slow days with only a couple of fish. The main reason was that we couldn't get any live mackerel. With live macs your chances for a keeper increase by 10 in my opinion. Base on a 4 hour trip. I still have a few days open this month, so give me a call. Below was today's trip.

August 3rd Again the striped bass fishing with the live macs the last couple of weeks has been fantastic! Hopefully the macs will stay the whole summer. Today one person had over a dozen keepers and about 6 large blue fish. The tuna the last couple of days has been a little slow but last week was good. The tuna should alone get better in the fall. We will be fishing for them until November. So give me a call a set up a trip. I will have tuna specials after labor day with a reduced rate. Check back.

The striped fishing the last couple of weeks has been the best I'
ve had in years. We have been getting lots of keepers on all of the trips. Haven't been out tuna fishing since last week when we caught a 70 inch fish. Still lots of macs around but you have to get out there early to get them. They are the key!

The last few days has again been great. Nice size keeper bass on all trips in the last couple of weeks. You have to get out there early and get the live macs. They are the key. We have been leaving at 5-6am on most trips. Blue fish moved in the last couple of days. We got half of out macs back about 5 times today. Book now before the macs move out.

The striped bass fishing is still producing large trophy bass. Today a client caught 3 keepers with one 48 inches. weight was about 40lbs. All on light tackle. Today there were lots of Macs around. I will get pictures of this nice bass soon. Book soon because I am filling up. thanks
The last few days 6/6 to 6/13 striped bass fishing has been great. On most of the days we caught fish between 38 inches and 44 inches. All of them have been caught in the deep water on live macs. The macs will be playing out soon. So book as soon as possible to catch these trophy fish. Go on our Face Book to see some of these fish. I will be putting pictures up over the next few days.
The tuna fishing has also been great but very far out. That trip leaves at 4:30am.
The fishing this year was been great. The cod fishing up until recently has been good. I had one slow day and then 2 good days this week. (5/30) On 5/29/10 we catch some trophy striped bass just outside Gloucester Harbor. While striper fishing on the 29th we hooked a tuna and stripped all the line on our bass rod. Then broke it off. The mackerel fishing is also good as of today. Book your trip soon while fishing is still good.
