Striper fishing DOES NOT get any better than it was Thanksgiving, Friday and Saturday. Drop the jig, reel in jig, fish bites jig, reel in fish and repeat. Truly some of the best fishing we have ever seen. The area is alive with sand eels so the diamond jigs are the lure of choice. We had fish of bonus (24-27.99), slot keepers (28-31) and over 31 inch sizes. We had folks literally sitting down cause they had enough or their arms hurt. Sunday was still good fishing with high hooks over 20 fish, but not the crazy action we had the 3 previous days.
We are fishing next Friday through Monday (December 6 -9th). If the fish are here and you want to fish we will continue to sail.

Saturday and Sunday the bass fishing was straight FIRE! (I think that's what the kids say?) Great fishing in windy conditions on Saturday. Remember the bass LOVE windy and cold weather. The cabin is heated and the coffee is brewing and free. Everyone had their limit and we were in catch and release mode from there forward. Sunday was another great day. Lots of limits and tons of fish over the 31 inch limit that were released. There are fish right outside our inlet and scattered up and down the entire coast so it looks good for the next few weeks at least. NOW IS THE TIME!!!
Thanksgiving Weekend Schedule:
Thanksgiving 6 AM to 12 Noon
Friday 7 AM
Saturday 7 AM

Friday and Sunday were a bit frustrating as they did not want to cooperate. Saturday was very good on almost all huge stripers. Monday was slow in the AM and then the afternoon blew up. More and more fish are coming into our area so don't wait till they are gone and wish you came. Remember if it's blowin', we goin'! They love the hard northwest winds.

Sunday's trip was a bit frustrating as we read plenty of fish throughout the day. Unfortunately, they did not want to bite like they had on Saturday. The fish caught were all keepers. The trip on Veterans' Day (Monday) had a small group head out and be rewarded with a few jumbo fish each. We only had three keepers and the rest were big stripers safely released to spawn another day.
Back at it again next Friday. The entire stretch from Friday through Monday looks like great weather. Little chilly with some strong westerly winds. Come join us as the run is just getting started.

Striper fishing is off to a good start. Had some monster bass to 45 pounds on Friday and Saturday. Saturday saw a wave of fish that were in the over 31 inch range and a good showing of keepers between 28 and 31 inches and some bonus fish. Jigs got the most fish on Saturday. Turning the handle and not just boucing the jigs made ALL the difference in catching a bass or a dogfish. There are fish all the way back to Montauk so this is just the beginning. Join us for some of the best fishing of the year. Sailing Friday through Monday 7AM to 2 PM.
Tomorrow's trip on Veteran's Day ALL veterans get $10 off their fare!
