Despite my plan that came to me at 1:15 this morning, I headed south in hopes of getting these guys on a couple of the bigger bass. What a mistake!!! Had the marks, weather, everything…
I know this sounds like a broken record, but there is a reason that these guys have earned the “A” team moniker. All the guys fish hard, fish every minute of the trip, and they are 1 with the…
As the weather was changing, I figured the bass bite to heat up from this morning. We set up on the exact spot that we had them 2 hours ago. 6 baits in the water,…
What a difference a tide makes. Where could they all go? Bait as far as the eye could see yesterday evening, hardly any this morning. After a tour of Raritan Bay, and some greatly appreciated…
With the flood of bunker that flooded into the bay this morning, and the dismal reports from down the beach it was a no-brainer as to where to fish this afternoon. Bait was simple and in no time…
Zempe let Hot Dog Lou back on the boat and it was great fishing for the A team once again. Eddie was hot and quite a few large bass were boated, 35-39lbers. Ricky started a…
Chris and the boys finally got in on a live bunker trip. The first 2 drifts found the fish and all had bite. 3 fish were landed before the beautiful weather put the fish down…
Coming off of this mornings trip, and seeing the fish finder being lit up on the way back to port, I had to get back out. Made a few calls and we were fishing by…
After Don’s killer trip, I know we are due for a downer, just can’t be today. With the Furuno Radar I was able to make it south, not another blipon the screen. We were able…
Yesterday morning was dead, nothing we can do. The afternoon, and this morning had plenty of chances, but still not many fish on the deck, no excuses, I got to get them into fish. Don…
I needed to get into fish, just just for the crew, but for the Scales n Tales. We had put low numbers on the deck and that has to change. It was a no brainer…
Tom arrived to the dock in high spirits, and still held on to them after he heard how the morning fishing had gone. Another bait run and we were off to the races, I was…
Acquiring live bunker has been a chore, but we gathered enough to go fishing. A beautiful calm, blue sky day lay ahead,typically not your the best conditions for the bass. Zempe hooked the first bass…
Every forecast had a very dismal prediction for today. Wind, rain, (heavy at times) big seas, not exactly a enjoyable day on the water. Brian was looking for bass, not a cruise, so we decided…
Hearing about how the bite died yesterday afternoon in the large fleet and seeing how the bass were hitting the spoons, I felt confident about getting the guys on the white meat this morning. Keith really…
All that was left after making a few different plans for this event was for me to get the live bait. We found a great batch of fish, fish to 32lbs, enough to get us…
The tide was a little more conducive for me to try for the bait and Erwin Jr, was able to fill the tanks in a couple of throws. Now I just needed to find some…
Again, tough conditions to make the bait and a good bite without it, easy choice. Paul, Rich and Joe were stoked as we rounded the pier. The lines went in and in no time the…
Bunker are still hard to get so it was easy as to what to do to get these guys on fish. That worked just fine and we had a few keepers in the box when…
As the defending winner, I take this trip very serious. There is no money in it for me, just for my charter. So my plan all came together when Jr was able to fill the…
I had hoped the seas were calmer after last night, and they were and I also had hoped the bait would be there too. They were not and we took a 3 hour tour trying…
With the west blowing hard, I expected the ocean to be flat calm. The southerly swell was still there and did make it a little sloppy, however that was not the problem. At first I…
We all know know the fishing has been and despite the weather the guys wanted to go. I was happy to take them despite the weather. It could not rain any harder as we headed south.…
As I pulled in the parking lot early this morning, I was met by Ken. I could tell he was very excited for this trip from talking to him a few times and he…
What more could I ask for, this fishing has been unreal and I figure that sooner or later it will come to a end. Well it will be later. The fish were not where I…
