This afternoon we had Claudio and the boys out for some bass fishing. We had 5 nice bass to 33 pounds. Great way to spend an afternoon. Looking forward to having them out again.

This afternoon we had the boys from Sag Harbor out for their yearly trip. The crew wanted to catch some porgies and sea bass and that's exactly what we did. The gang enjoyed non-stop rod-bending action. Looking forward to seeing them again next summer.

This morning we had Eric from Stewart, Florida and his crew sail with us. He wanted to try some Montauk fishing. We had some nice bass before the tide quit. After we lost the tide we did a bang up job on jumbo sea bass. Looking forward to getting him out again with his father.

We sailed with Dan and the gang today for a full day of bass and bottom fishing. We started the trip bottom fishing and had great action immediately, putting a limit of sea bass in the box. We switched tactics later in the morning, once the tide got going, and the guys put a few nice bass in the box as well. A great group who we hope to see again next year!

The boys were out for Billy's bachelor party this afternoon, which included a surprise (we hid him down below) visit from Dad. Was awesome! We started the trip bottom fishing and put some nice sea bass in the box. Then switched over for striped bass. It was a bit nautical and we might have had a puker or two (or three), but the guys stuck it out for a little while, just long enough to land a few bass. A great group of guys with lots of laughs, despite the conditions. Congrats, Billy!
Nice fish for the soon-to-be-hubby.

Had the pleasure of fishing with Steve Ratkewitch again this year, along with his crew. I must admit, while we had a great time with the guys, we struggled with the bass. The fish were stubborn during the earlier part of the tide, but even when the bite turned on, we had some challenges getting them into the boat. Fortunately, the guys aren't going home empty-handed, but I still would have liked to put a few more fish in their cooler. Guess you can't win 'em all, though that doesn't make me feel any better!
