Once again, we had the Tommy Bender charter out for a shark fishing trip today. There was tons of life offshore, including whales, porpoises, and some small tuna. We also managed a couple of shark bites, with a mystery bite to start, followed by an approximately 150lb mako and then a small white shark. Not as much shark action as we would have liked, but a great day on the water nonetheless. Until next year, boys!
We had Sam and her family out with us for their first trip on the November Rain. We spent a short time trying for the striped bass, but were quick to change tactics when the bites were scarce. We kept to the bottom fishing and the group of nine kept the rods bent from start till stop with jumbo porgies and a couple of sea bass mixed in.

Our annual fishing trip with the Tom Kowalski crew proved to be a productive one with the bottom fishing. The striped bass were less than cooperative, but the jumbo scup were plenty full, and the gang went home with over 50 porgies and plenty of food for that night’s dinner. We’ll see these guys again for a tuna trip in a few weeks.
