First trip of our season is in the books. We had the pleasure of meeting Ron Martin at the saltwater expo in NJ a few months back and today we took he and the boys fishing. The weather wasn't great and the fish were being picky, but we managed to put some meat in the box, including a 7.5 lb flatty. Looking forward to seeing them again on July 8th.

Chow time!

Seems like this trip was a lifetime ago, on the way east to start this season. Tonight, weather permitting, we'll be heading back west. Still some great Montauk fishing, but given other upcoming commitments, we're going to wrap up in Montauk and bring the boat to Woodmere, where we'll ultimately pull it for the winter.

Keeping an eye on the weather and hoping to leave Westlake at around 11:00 pm tonight. Small weather window, not to mention we need high tide to get through the harbor back west. Hope to be pulling in just as the sun rises tomorrow.

All of that said, WE'RE NOT DONE FISHING! We'll remain available for charters from Woodmere/Hewlett, so don't hesitate to give us a call, text or email. Will be fishing some of our old stomping grounds!

Many thanks to everyone who fished with us in Montauk this year. It was a pleasure and we genuinely appreciate your business and hope we'll see you again in 2018. The countdown begins...

Steve and the boys returned for another trip and the action was fast and furious. The crew boxed over three dozen sea bass and added another dozen scup to that. Had to fight through the dogfish, but it was well worth it. Until next year, guys!

The guys hammered the sea bass today. Here's a few of the catch.

Jumbo sea bass!

Ruslan and his buddies are visiting NY from Kazakhstan and decided to spend an afternoon on the east end before returning home tomorrow. Had some great action bottom fishing. They only wanted one fish each, which was a piece of cake! Really nice group of people.

Some of the crew's catch.

Sometimes you have to laugh it off.

Peter and the guys made their annual tog trip with us today and they kept the rods bent from start til stop. Lots of short fish in the mix but great action and the boys are going home with plenty. Looking forward to doing it again next year!

The boys put a hurtin' on the togs today.

Had the pleasure of fishing with first-timers Jim O'Connell and crew today. The guys originally booked the trip as a blackfish charter and were set on toggin, so we gave it a try despite the less-than-encouraging tog reports these last few weeks. The decision paid off nicely and the guys filled the box with a mix of blackfish and sea bass. A great way to bring the month to its end. Hoping we'll see them again next year.

The boys wanted togs and togs we got! Along with a nice mix of sea bass.
