Hit it solo this am for a few Bass and blues

Posted on November 22, 2011 by brian

11/22

Hey all! I made a quick run this am solo (see what happens when you sleep in Lou!!!!) lol jk buddy. Bite was hot right off the bat at sun up, but died real quick in the bay. Had 2 Bass, small fish in the mid to upper teens, and a 7lb blue to go with it. Worked the bunker pods till they went down and called it a morning. Saw alot of birds working outside, looks like the jigging action should be great!!!! Looking at the next few days looks iffy with the weather, but i will keep a close eye on it. Season is almost done guys, going to try to hit it when we can over the next week.

I had Adam on board last night for an open boat trip. Adam told me… All i want is just to catch one bass and i will be happy. I told him don’t worry we will get em, just got to wait for the current to get going. Sure enough, Fish ON!! The Bass were stacked up once again right were i had em on monday and they were hungry. Hitting like freight trains! Adam and I boated lots of fish, around 10 or so and had a blast!! All fish came on eels tonight again. First wave of fish were in the high teens, and kept getting bigger. Not much wind to speak of tonight, and a nice new moon. Cant wait for after this weather passes to get back on em. I will be running another open boat guys if anyone wants on sunday late night/monday morning. Call me for the details!!! 631 252 5894 Adam thanks again for everything, had a great time.

AWESOME BITE LAST NIGHT ON LIVE BAIT!!!!!!

Posted on October 25, 2011 by brian

10/25/11

Last night i had rich on board. It started off slow for the first hr, so we kept moving around trying to locate fish. First two fish boated were BIG chopper blues ripping up the eels. But once we found the Stripes, it was lock n load for the next 3 hrs!!!!! No more blues, all BASS!! It was one of those banner nights my friends. Every drift was producing a fish as we found em stacked up real good. The first wave of fish were small (34in), and they just kept getting bigger as the night went on. All fish came on live eels tonight. Winds were kicking up real good once again around 15 to 20k but the bass love it sloppy out there! Good times once again Rich! Good to have you out bud!!! Thanks for everything! Final totals tonight were 18 Striped Bass hitting the deck!! Guys call me asap if you want to get in on this bite! Its a late one, but seems to be heating up nice the fall run!!!

Plugging Stripers in the am!!

Posted on October 7, 2011 by brian

10/7/11

Shot out solo this am for a little plugging at sunrise. Had some great action right away all on a yellow danny plug. Gotta love the top water explosions!! First fish was the biggest just under 20lbs, with the next four in the mid teens. After i had my fill there i went to the ocean and jigged up one bass as well. Lots of birds working but it was really spread out. Looks like we might have a great fall jigging run again like we had last year!! I will keep on it and see how it unfolds. Great quick trip this am with 5 fish total.

Call me 631 252 5894 to get in on the local action guys!! The night trips seem to be a bit better right now but the mornings are looking promising!! See ya soon

Crazy action all night….Bass up to 26lbs+!!!

Posted on October 6, 2011 by brian

10/5/11

Had Rich on board the open boat last night. Winds were up around 15k and more at times but that did not stop the fish!! we had crazy action from the first drift on. Bass were slamming the eels like trucks! The first wave of fish that we came across were all in the upper teens. After an hr or so of playing with em we found some nice fish over 25lbs. We boated around 7 or 8 fish, lost a bunch, but to be honest we were loosing count. The fishing should only get better guys!

Have to apologize…. my camera broke last night, so we had to use our cell phones in the dark lol. not a good thing.

Call me guys if you want to get in on the action!!!!! 631 252 5894. were doing night eels/plugging trips. Also might be adding in some early morning trips as well but call me for the juicy details!!

hope to see you on the water!!!

Ocean Fluke getting HOT!!!

Posted on August 2, 2011 by brian

8/1/11

Got out yesterday morning for a few hrs. Started off in the inlet where 4lb blues were going crazy against the rocks on demo. Grabbed a few on a diamond jig and i was off. Plan A was to go out and do some ocean flukeing! Found a few nice spots that was holding LOTS of fish in the 70ft to 75ft range. Tons of fish pushing the 20in mark. Lots of fun and kept the rods bending all morning. two hrs into the trip the bigger fluke started to bite. Boated three nice keepers myself at 25in , 23in , and 22in. The bigger fish today came on Pearl white Gulp minnows, and the 25in fish hit a 4oz bucktail tipped with the gulp and spearing. Lots of fun this am, and a gorgeous day on the ocean!! If you want a shot at some nice fluke call me or send me an email. I will be running an open boat for fluke/sea bass for awhile on select days (depending on weather) , untill we get back to Bass fishing!! Tight lines guys and gals!

Capt. Paul Peluso back on em again!!

Posted on July 17, 2011 by brian

7/17/11

Had Capt Pablo back on board again this am. We left the dock a bit later then usual, knowing the bite has been slacking off as of late in the early am. Got some gas over at frank n dicks and we were out. Found a few pods west of the inlet, but nothing crazy. we kept moving around looking for the one pod holding fish, and around 8am we found em. Nothing big for us today like earlier in the week but we kept the rods bending. all fish were in the low 20 lb class. Great time as always Pablo, cant wait to do it again!

Lou on some nice Bass to 38lbs

Posted on July 13, 2011 by brian

7/13/11

had lou on board this am for an open boat. It started off real slow in the ocean. Bunker pods were hard to come by today. Might be from the winds/weather yesterday. But eventually we found a pod holding some nice fish. we boated 3 nice size bass up to 38lbs. Lou’s first fish came while his pole was in the rod holder. It doubled over and lou was struggling to get it out. Gotta love when that happens. nice fish it was at 38lbs. Had a great day lou, lets do it again real soon bro.

Big Bass on attack! Rich and Pablo ON!

Posted on July 11, 2011 by brian

7/11/11

Another lock and load day on the ocean bass bite!!! I had Capt Pablo, and Rich on board this am to get in on this INSANE bite we got over here. Don’t worry Pablo they will be swimming your way soon. Broke the inlet at first light and did a little hopping around the pods before the first bass was hooked. Snagging and keeping them high in the schools was the meal ticket today. First few pods had some 25 to 35 lb bass

on em. Once the fleet showed up we found our own pod all to ourselves and pulled a couple more 35lb to 40lb fish. We ended the morning with 7 bass. Biggest two were 40lb and 37lb. The rest were in the low twenties to 35lbs. Another awesome day with awesome company. Thank you guys for everything, and Rich thanks for fileting!
