Don and I
just got back from Panama...Tropic Star Lodge is with out question
the most incredible place on Earth...EVERYTHING YOU HEARD IS TRUE...
I have fished in many great locations over the years ... but this
place is just too much for words.. They have everything down to a
science... Plain and simple it is a Well run and well Oiled machine..
From the food, to the boats, to the hotel... everything is FIRST
CLASS... Tropic Star is well know for It's Quality and Quantity in
the species caught there... Even though the fishing was considered
slow for our week we had some truly GREAT fishing. Every day we had
Marlin and Sailfish up behind the boat checking out our baits. Donnie
wound up with a very nice Blue Marlin, along with a bunch of
Dorado... Tropic Star is Famous as the place for really big Black
MARLIN... I released a Black Marlin well over 500 Lbs in 15
minutes... The captain ran his boat like we did years ago Giant Tuna
fishing... As soon as you hook up.. the boat went into Reverse and he
hit the throttles.. It wound up the largest Black for the week !! The
Tuna Fishing is Just OFF THE WALL... In under one hour we landed 6
Yellow fins from 25 to 60 lbs... We would of sunk the boat if we just
fished for Tuna all Day. My only regret I have is that I did not come
here 10 years ago. Lots of story's for the next meeting. ?

I've never
seen so much life in the ocean yesterday, Whales everywhere, Free
jumping Makos and my buddy had a bass ripped off his hook by a
Threshed a few feet from his boat. Saw another guy next to me snag a
whale by mistake...crazy shit out there.. Anyway we managed 2 bass
and I busted off what I believe was a thresher near OB. We fished the
BSO tournament from Babylon Yacht Club and biggest fish was a 39
pounder. Almost everyone had fish that I saw. No secret to catching
these fish just have to have patience till they start biting. Our
fish were 16 and 22 pounds..

Took out two
Stony Brook University grad students who are putting acoustic tags in
sharks. Day started slowly--I suspect because the chum was so
hard-frozen and spongy that I couldn't get a good slick going--but we
ended up with two small makos that hit late in the day. Two acoustic
tags deployed, two blood/fin/muscle samples taken, and two grad
students two fish closer to getting their research done. Everyone
went home happy.

Again star.ted getting fish cutting the baits but missing the hook.
Put out a small bait on a light outfit and immediately hooked up.
Turned out that there is a swarm of small (3 to 5 foot fork length)
hammerheads there that are mauling the bait. Caught some, along with
one sandbar Stopped on a wreck on the way home and jigged some legal
sea bass (15 1/2-17") pretty quickly before heading in.

with poor visibility. Had a fish within 10 minutes that dropped the
bait, which was the pattern for the day--baits cut in half with tooth
marks clearly indicating sharks, but only one solid hookup, a
75-pound-class sandbar (brown). 75-100 pound mako cruised past the
boat, and kept on going. Some mahi showed up under the boat, ended up
with fish to 13 1/2 pounds.

My wife and
I made another trip to the Wolcott. The season has only been open for

catch 6 legal fish, with the two largest only 17 in. (released a
number of 15-15 1/2 inch fish that were legal, but just too small).
Once again, the 2 ox. Lucanus jig did most of the damage, accounting
for all but one of the fish kept. Time to switch over to tuna...

arrived
early southeast of the Coimbra and dropped our spread in. Ocean
erupted into life with whales and porpoise everywhere. Soon followed
by Bluefin surface activity. All crashing on sand eels. Judging by

bunch on troll and jigs and spinning rods. Kept our limit and
returned the rest. Could not find the big boy to increase our keep.
Heard one boat catch a 140#er. Dropped in some chum late in the day
and played with blue sharks. Home early on a flat ocean.

didn’t find fish. Went to 100 square and found incredible amount of

My wife and
I took a ride out to the Wolcott. a lot of fish, but most were very
small; fishing with clams, we weeded through double-headers of tiny
fish for an hour and a half before putting a 15 1/2-incher in the
box. I ended up trying a 2-ox pink Lucanus jig, which turned things
around. Got as many hits as were were getting on bait, but the size
was better--nothing hbig, but had three between 17 and 18 inches in
short order after tying on the jig. We limited out, but it took
longer than it should have, and the size I expect at this time of year
wasn't there.

Decent
summer weakfish bite this morning at Ocean Beach. All small fish, but
once we found them, consistent action. The key was small lures. A
yellow Clouser fished on the only fly rod on the boat was the most
consistent; using the same Clouser as a teaser above a heavier
bucktail also worked on the spinning rods. Everything was
concentrated in a 50-yard stretch beginning maybe 30 or 40 feet north
of the buoy at the south end of Range Channel, and extending south
past the drop into the main East/West channel. The usual bucktails
and soft plastics were mostly ignored, with the Clouser, on fly and
spin gear, accounting for most of the fish. First half of outgoing
tide.

Fished this
past Wednesday. Awesome flat ocean! Trolled around the 100 square
with the fleet. Lots of greenstick boats out. Day bite was dead
except one boat that was able to jig a yellow. Trolled down to the
notch and caught a small mahi next to a high-flyer. Circled around
the same pot when our daisy-chain Joe-shute with a ballyhoo went
screaming off. Safely released a nice blue marlin that measured
114" and approx. 350 lb range. Saved a slow day of trolling!

I fished the
Hampton Invitational Friday into Saturday on my buddy Adams boat. We
left Friday morning at 5 Am out of Oakland's and headed towards the
Dip. We had two knock downs. One of the crew said it was a White
Marlin.. I don't know since I did not see it. Fished most of the day
in the Dip with nothing to show so we started trolling towards the
ZOO (100 Square)...There were a bunch of boats just north of the 100
working the area... Trolled into the dark and around 9 PM we hooked
up on a bait way back down the middle. Unfortunately the captain took
the boat out of gear to hand the rod from the bridge to the
cockpit.... Oops big mistake !! About 45 minutes later we hooked up
on the same rod in the same position.. This time he kept the boat in
gear and transferred the rod down to the cockpit. We boated a 172 Lb
Big Eye... With a full Moon all the fish were caught trolling at
night... Next day was a repeat of the first day with a just a few
yellow fins caught in the morning. The big boy in the tournament was
a 220 Eye Ball caught right next to us.

If you go, bring small, plain wood cedar plugs. 99% of fish hit
those. 1 hit a green machine bird bar (lost my bar b/c Glenn's knot)
and 1 hit a ballyhoo (thanks for the bait Andrew D).

Ran back to
the same area where we had fish the week before, to find that
conditions had changed. Cloudier water, 75 degree surface temp and
less life didn't bode well. Very slow, confused drift for most of the
morningn compounded the difficulties. Ended up tagging one blue shark
and one small mako; had one somewhat larger mako make a cameo
appearance in the slick but did not stick around. Also had two small
sharks playing with the floats, etc. Think they were blacktips. Had
them hit the baits twice, but cut them off short of the hooks, so
couldn't confirm identity. They were small enough that I picked up
and headed home at 4:30, rather than trying to hook one on a smaller
bait.

had some very small makos taking bait and jumping a few time. We had
a decent size shark come to inspect the mako hanging off the side
which appeared to be a small great white about 8-9'. Lots of life in
that area.

larger--probably a tail-wrapped thresher, given the condition of the

fly out of the spread and breach about 10 feet in the air. Boated
this one in 20 minutes and continued the onslaught of blue sharks.
Picked up and ran to the San Diego and immediately had a small Mako
around the boat but wouldn't eat. Had a couple runoffs but no takers.
As we were pulling in the lines had a big blue shark take the deep
squid bait. Long fight but got him to the boat and let him go. Great

I wanted to
take my son Peter Marlin Fishing in Hatteras just before he starts
training with the New York City Fire Department this Monday June
20th. So the three of us, Donnie, my son and I left for Hatteras
Saturday morning. We were looking forward to fishing two days Sunday
and Monday.. Then drive home on Tuesday morning. Well that all
changed... We got Blown out both days... However, Tuesday afternoon
we did manage to get in an half day Inshore. We started out catching
a bunch of Spanish Mack's and Boston Mack's. Then we switched over to
Red Drum...Just incredible.. The first cast we both hooked up with
fish in the mid Forty Pounds.. My second cast I got one over 50 Lbs.
Wednesday and Thursday we went Offshore.. The first day was blowing
15 to 20 Kts. and in between heavy down pours and lighting we caught
a bunch of very nice Dorados.. The second day was blowing the same
out of the south with no rain... The Stream was a bit rough making
things “Sporting”... We again caught some very nice size Dorado and had
a shot at White Marlin. He came up.. Hit a flat line.. ran off about
a 100 feet started shaking his head from side to side and spit the
hook.. Disappointing but that's fishing...Long drive home... Hatteras
is still a very special place.

small yellow, then had one of my anglers take two 20-25 pound
yellowfin on a fly rod (which he said was the best thing that he did
all season). Caught a bunch of skipjack casting metal (and also had a
shark chase a Deadly Dick across the surface for 25 yards) and flies
and, most interesting of all, had three tiny bluefin--maybe two
pounds apiece--on fly (could there have been a decent spawn in the

Pu in on
life--birds and bait marks--and had three knockdowns before all of
the lines went out. Unfortunately, the fish were big false albacore.
Turned out to be the pattern for the day; every pass by birds, thick
bait or breaking fish turned into multiple knockdowns, but except for
one small yellowfin and one skipjack, it was all false albacore up to
15 pounds or so. HOWEVER, a friend fishing in the same place was
casting big poppers and stick plugs; he still had maybe 20 false
albacore, but also nearly as many yellowfin up to 60 pounds or so;
apparently, the big plugs kept the false albacore somewhat at bay and
gave the yellowfin time to eat, while even decent-sized trolled lures
(Green Machine spreader bars, etc.) drew false albacore strikes.

with 15-17" fish. Left soon after, even though the third angler
hadn't put too much in the cooler,as 6 boats on one wreck makes
things a little crowded. Also a few porgies in the mix, although none

Very slow night had by all, given the large groups of bait. Most
action heard on the radio was west in the hudson. A few big eyes
taken in the dip by a good friend and a wahoo. In the morning I
trolled to the middle grounds but again very little life spite great

Ended up running out of tags after 3 mako (nothing huge), a dozen

an honest 7-foot fork length and maybe 200 pounds. Could have used a

usual day here in Cabo is one or two Marlin per day... then you
sprinkle in a few Dorado for good measure. Now Cabo has its own
special way of spoiling you … One day we raised Six Marlin and Three
Dorado all in the 30 Lb class. The next day we get Three Marlin and
boat Six Dorado all in the 30 to 40 Lb. class, including a Mystery

dropped couple of others. All cookie cutter fish at 20-22 lbs. Best
bite was to grab bunker in tight to beach and find other pods in
deeper water (50') and drop in there. Seemed the best method was to
drop the bait to bottom and slowly reel up. Bass were attacking the

Fish were
noticeably fewer and smaller than the week before, perhaps because of
new moon tides. Still able to limit out, with a couple of ling
besides, but largest fish was only about 3 lbs. More boats on the
wreck compared to last week, even though the ocean was a little
rougher; pressure is probably having a bad effect on the fish. Will
have to try again as the moon waxes to see whether slower tides make
a difference.

I'M BACK….
Took a few yrs. to remember my password. The 14th Wally Oakland shark
was a screamer. !8 makos to 460# {late weigh-in} #390 1st.Pl. & 7
threshers to #525. My offshore estimate at Bacardi of Brian Phillips'
170# mako turned out on the scales at #104 and was trumped by my
grandson on his boat by a #192 mako. Tuna bite getting hot .
Yellowfin being trolled east of the dip. Maxmus out of Jacksons, 7
white marlin in two Saterdays of trolling SE 41 fathoms. The fluke
derby out of Molnars drew 62 boats. #7.6 1st. place and a calcutta
draw of $7200. The 1st. annual Blessing of the Fleet the sunday
before off the NW jetty by SMTC might of had something to do with
this….!!!

New boating
education requirements for Suffolk residents take effect 11/6/13 The
County legislature recently passed a law which requires all residents
18 and older operating most recreational boats to take an approved
boater safety course, pass an exam, and carry a boating safety
certificate while boating in Suffolk County. This is an additional
county requirement on top of existing NY state boater education laws,
which remain in force. Suffolk County boaters need to be certified by
November 6, 2013. As of May 1, 2014 NYS laws will supersede Suffolk's
and anyone born prior to May 1 1996 will not need to take the course.

I got some great news... My wife and daughter told me they both
caught a marlin and were done with fishing... So I put on my sad
face, hoping all the time they would not change their minds...There
really is a GOD.... So Tuesday morning I went off to see the wizard,
happy as can be... The whole boat to myself. I brought down most of
my Black Bart's, and put them to work.. First fish of the day was a
Nice Sail about 130 to 140 Lbs... Followed up with a Stripper...Now
I'm starting to think "Grand Slam" That would be my second
in Cabo. The wind starting to pick up early, and by the end of the
day it was blowing hard out of the north. Never found the Blue.. I
lost two more marlin and dropped a bunch of Dorado...I finished up
the day releasing One sail, Two Stripper's and boated Four Dorado..
No Slam but a great day even with sloppy conditions. Tuesday night we
had fresh dorado for dinner... You can't beat that..My trip is over
at the end of the week... So sad... So many Marlin...So little Time.

Marina on board the "Offshore Obsession" and headed towards
the 100 Sq. When we got there we found lots of life, and a lot of
boats. We had our first Albie around 6:30.. Then everything went
dead... The entire fleet was shut down… For hours everyone was trolling
around all this life, with no action at all… Adam got a call that
there was a bite going on at the Elbow. We picked up, ran over and
started trolling north. Along the way we picked up a few more albies
and my son got his shot....He boated a 58 Lb. Yellowfin !!! Mission
Accomplished… This was his first REAL fish in over 3 Years. I took
some photos so he can show all the “Red Necks” back on Base what a
Tuna looks like. We made a quick stop at the Coimbra Wreck (no one

If you guys
are looking to catch Marlin… Now is the time…. Saturday I did a
charter on Marc Martino's boat "No Excuses". The charter
was a surprise 50th. Birthday present for her husband with a twist...
His dream in life was to catch a Blue Marlin and they wanted to
specifically target them. We pulled out of Jackson's Marina at 4 Am
and went to the Fish Tales. Saturday was super sloppy... almost
UN-fish able.. The wind was a constant 20 Kts. East to North East and
the seas over 4 to 7 Foot, breaking at the top. Not a pretty picture.
We worked the Tales as best we could and then went down sea towards
the Dip. Just short of the Dip the Man in the Blue suit hit my Black
Bart in the long rigger. Nice fish in the 250 to 300 Lb range. It
woke up every body and more than made his dream come true.. Best of
all his whole family was there to enjoy it. We finished up the trip
with a Mahi, and made a quick stop at the Coimbra for a Bluefin
before heading for home. I need to do it again when Peter comes home
in a few weeks. The Blues are here guys… you just have to fish for
them. That means put away the tuna lures and break out the Black
Bart’s… the Islanders and the ballyhoo’s….Go Get’em…..:)

We started to pick away with Albacore in the mid 50# range. Drifting
overnight we had a Mahi and a mystery fish. Meaning a big runoff and
no solid hook up… The bait came back as if it was never touched. We
went back on the troll at first light with no whales and no bait
around. We trolled back toward the 100 and ran into a “Wolf Pack”…
Three Big Eyes jumped on at once. We pulled the hook on two and
boated the third weighing in at 162.5 Lbs. We finished up the day
with some more Albie’s and called it a day. We get to do it all over

A couple of Big Eye were caught at sunrise but not many. At 12:45 we
went 4 for 4 on more Long Fin and we set back. With only 3-4 rods in
we had an Eyeball hit. Left lines in for a minute but no more. We
cleared up and left the bars and Ballyhoo hanging in the water from
the outriggers. In another 30 seconds we had 15 Eyeballs chasing
them. Hooked one more on a Hoo and actually plugged another. Spinning
reel to light and we pulled that hook. Got the other 2 fish on the
boat - 125 and 150 lbs. Probably could have hooked a couple more
since they were all over us but at that point we wanted them ion the
boat. Anyway got 2 eyeballs, 5 Long Fin. Left the 100 Sq at 3:45 and
were back in Bay Shore Marina before 5. Some fast boat on flat seas.

Heard about
a lot of tuna getting cut by sharks over near the Coimbra, with one
of my friends losing a 100-pound-class fish to a truly large
hammerhead, so I figured that I'd take a ride out to the Coimbra and
drop a few cans of chum. The sand eels had thinned out, and the tuna
bite slowed down; I heard of a few fish caught, mostly around
sunrise, with nothing over 55 pounds or so. Still lots of
life--skipjack, whale, mahi, etc.--but the sharks seem to have
abandoned the place as well. We did have a white in the 15-foot class
come up the slick and take a look, and tagged one 50-pound class
mako. On the plus side, there are some decent dolphin in the area,
and we ended up with some double-digit fish, the largest 13 1/2.

Donnie Kaich
and I went to the Coimbra Wreck Monday morning on my buddy Adam's 48
Viking. We left the dock at Oakland’s around 2:30 Am and had Lines in
at 4:30 Am, just before gray light. We were the first on the grounds.
We marked some bait and some single fish. Some time after 6:30 Am we
hooked up on a Bally-Joe shute combo down deep, on a Stand up 80
filled with 200# mono...Right from the get go I knew this was not you
average 30# to 130# fish. The first angler fought him stand up for
almost TWO hours, before handing off the rod. The second angler
lasted Half a Hour at best before giving up. The problem is the so
called Stand up rods 50# to 80# Class do not have enough in the rod
tip to lift Giant Class Fish... Yea Sure they are fine on Big Eyes,
Yellows and BFT up and into the 200-250# range... But when you are
dealing with Giant Blue Fins you better have a Real 130# Class rod
and reel or you are just asking for trouble... I told Adam the only
way to get this fish is to fight him Gloucester Style from the rod
holder and pull the line down with your left hand. So Adam took the
rod and I ran the boat. The guides on the rod were already starting
to break down. They were starting to twist to the right from all the
pressure, and chafe the line.. This was a "Break it or Make it
Moment".. We went full drag and back down hard. I got the line
straight up and down and for the first time we started to gain line
and got a good look at him twice. The fish was 8' to 10 foot long ..
In the 400 to 500# class. You all know how this is going to
end...BAD... After Four plus hours the rod disintegrated along with
the line... When 200# mono pops it sound like a shotgun
blast..BANG...and it's all over except for the memories... In the end
we took a knife to a gun fight.. not good.. The crew was naturally
devastated, and the experience of the loss will stay with them for a
long time... Shit does Happen.. :(

better. We trolled into the Fish Tales (west wall) where we boated 45
to 50 Lb yellow. This fish hit a deep purple spreader bar. Fishing
was slow overall, not a lot of bait or boat around. I put out a
Select bally on a deep purple Joe Shute, and kept it in close off the
3rd position short rigger. The second Yellow hit this rig just around

Lefrt the
dock at 5:15; even so, two boats out of Moriches were already on the
wreck, and a Fire Island boat was about 2 minutes behind me. The
boats already on scene weren't anchored, so there was room, but it
also meant that I was forced to drift rather than anchor, which I
don't like to do. All three of us limited out, but it took more time
and effort than expected; there were a lot of fish, but they ran far
smaller than they did at the same time last year; while we had one
20" fish and a few in the 16-18" range, we had to pick
through a lot of "legal shorts" in the 13-15" class in
order to put together 3 limits of somewhat larger fish. There was a
troubling number of small (13" or so) males, suggesting that the
winter season really hurt the numbers of big knotheads that we had
around last year. Nothing much around other than sea bass; one ling
made up the rest of the catch.

failed to mention that they were small. Almost every fish was 17,18

Hit it just
right, although it started slowly. 67.7 cloudy green water when we
put in; a few birds, but overall not much life. Only myself and one
angler on board. Nothing for the first hour, then a release on a 125+
mako taht provided three nice, close-in jumps, while a second, tiny
mako attacked all the baits as I cleared the line. Then the blue
sharks came--and came, and...a quality mako barged in, and got hooked
up solid. Call it 250+, 8'+ fork length. Asked my friend if he wanted
to kill it, and at first he thought maybe, but then he remembered the
boat rules (no shark under 200 killed unless it's bleeding badly or
too exhausted to survive; the guy who kills a healthy fish has to clean
and steak out the entire fish unassisted while he contemplates
whether he wants to do such a thing again) and decided that he didn't
want to spend a few hours cutting up fish, so I took the wire and my
friend cut the connection. Ended up with the two makos released,
along with double-digit blue sharks up to 125 or a little more--I
won't know how many until I count up and mail out the tag cards.

everyone came out of the storm OK... The weather here in Cabo is a

fishing down in a big way...The Bisbee Tournament had only one weigh
able fish worth something like $2.2 Million.. However on Monday we
did manage one Marlin and for some unknown reason the Dorado Bite has
been "Insane"... We actually had to start releasing fish,
we had that many... The Big Boy of the day was a 43 Lb Bull..(I took
lots of Photos)..For a short time durning the fight I actually
thought I broke my own record, but he was short big time, I guess I

Mearki,
Isnardi, Cuozzo & Heilpern played golf in the morning in

fishing. Good golf was followed by 4 nice bass on plugs. Had a bunch
more follow plugs up and would have caught many more but a guy in a
little 16' skiff saw us catch at the DEMO rip and decided to give it
a shot. Unfortunately a huge breaker came in and flipped his boat so
we had to rescue him from a ripping current in the inlet. He flipped
his boat right on the bass spot so they were spooked after that. We
moved east and found a couple more near kismet - also on plugs. THEN,
we had to tow a guy off the bar in Snake. Is there an award opposite
of the AHOY AWARD?? We saved a guy from hypothermia and saved his
boat from sinking and then pulled a boat off a sandbar with a guy in
his boxers trying to push it off!

Proceeded to go 2 for 2 on big eye's thru the afternoon. We dropped a

on big eyes up to 200lbs and 2 more solid long fin. Luckily, we had
an engineer on the boat that fixed our engine problem. Many thanks to
Andrew Dean for making the trip out on the 'Ice-tender' as we ran out

we had constant action on every drift. We ended up with 9 quality

yours truly hooked into a pup mako that bit through the leader after

Took a

bass--double-headers were the rule at the beginning of the bite--but
the quality was way off from earlier in the month. Fish are likely
getting picked over, as shorts and just-legal throwbacks now
dominate. I managed to limit early, with fish to about 3#, then just
unhooked fish for the other two, who fell a little short of limits by
trip's end. A lot more variety than a few weeks ago, with ling, fluke
(5 shorts, 1 legal), short porgies and even a big eel--not to mention
a 5-6' shark (I didn't see it, so no ID) that tried to take a sea
bass away from one of the others on board.

Happy 4th to
all. Hit the ocean at 7am for some fluke but no drift at all. Tried
the reef and had 4 nice sea bass. Moved west to fluke in 65-70' of
water and had nice fluke action. All the fluke brought to the boat
were spitting up squid. Landed a 33lb striper behind a dragger, it
had 6 whole squid in its stomach.

Took a ride
to the Walcott while the rain was still falling, hoping that it would
keep the crowd away. It worked. Got to the wreck around 8:00, and an
immediate pick of decent sea bass began. Even after the skies dried
and another boat joined me on the piece, managed to catch a limit of
fish up to about 3 1/4. Not many shorts, and only a few (released)
legal fish under 15". Didn't catch anything but sea bass all
morning. Used nothing more than frozen clam for bait, but noted that
some of the fish were puking crab parts.

Nothing big, but I just wanted to get the rod bent after a long time

woke up, having hooked a number of bluefish and scratched short fluke
off the bottom. The engines having run fine, it's now time to get

I've done

9/2....Half day Tuna and the second half Shark... I saw a patch of
warm water on the satellite temp chart just east of the 40 Fathom
curve. After working the area for most of the morning we got lucky
and stepped on two small yellow fins in the 20 to 25 lb class... For
most of the time trolling I was dodging all kinds of floating junk. I
trolled into the 40 Fathom area and set up for Sharking... After
about an hour the sharks started coming in one after another for the
rest of the day. The cooler water (67 degrees) brought in some Hugh
blue sharks well over 200 Lbs. and we release the last Shark... a
small Mako. On Saturday 9/3 we did a full day inshore... The one good
thing the Hurricane did was get the Bass Fishing going BIG TIME... We
had multiple fish on with every drift, and with very few bluefish....
In the end we limited out with Bass up to 41.8 lbs, and we lost two larger
Bass right at the boat... Now that the Hurricane has pushed all the
warm water out, we should see blue fins any day S/E of Block Island.

!!!! Around eleven o'clock the port rigger popped out...Nothing
happened... Then from out of no where a big dorsal fin streaked
across the spread... I saw the big Marlin pick up the same lure, and I
hit the throttles.. This time everything came tight and the fight was
on..Two hours later we released a Big Blue Marlin in the 600 Lb plus
range..This was by far the Largest Atlantic Blue Marlin I have ever
had..A real Beast..King of the Ocean.. We quickly got everything back
into the water and started to troll. Now our luck has started to
change for the better...We had four rods go off together as we ran
into a bunch of Long fins in the 40 to 50 Lb range...The day wasn’t
done yet as we continued trolling and had a multiple hooked up of
yellows in the 55 to 60 lb class...

Friday Aug 5 th...The word on the dock in Montauk was that there was
some early Big Eye action in the Tails. With that information I left
the dock early and arrived at first light. I trolled south along the
east side and off the edge. I wasn't off the edge for more that 10
minutes when I saw a crash on the port short rigger. Everything came
tight and the fight was on !!! The crew fought the fish hard and got
him to the boat quickly...It was a Big Eye !!!! Not a big bad boy...
but a baby Big eye.. My favorite just the same....We quickly gaffed
it, and into the fish box it went... The action for us kept up all
day. Within an hour we had a double hook up of yellows in the 45 to
55 Lb range. Later on as the day progressed we headed slightly South
West into the deep, and hooked up a White Marlin, and a few Mahi –
Mahi's..Towards the end of the day we headed North back up on to the
flats, and hooked up a triple header of Long Fins....One of the
Albies was a good size, around 50 Lbs.

yesterday with my father and a duck hunting buddy. The plan was to
bounce some bucktails around the ligthhouse for some fluke til the
tide turned, then head to the Thumb for some flounder. After picking
up 2 short fluke on our first drift, we saw a few fish roll which
looked to be pretty decent sized fish. Right after that, the water
just EXPLODED with squid flying out of the water, along with bass and
blues chasing them. The 3 of us tossed our bucktails into the blitz,
and we were all instantly hooked up. The blitz lasted for only about
5 minutes or so, but we were able to land 2 bass, both at 31 inches,
and 3 blues, 4-6 lbs. We then headed to the Thumb where we proceeded
to catch our limit (and then some) of flounder and 3 nice blowfish.

land my first Atlantic sturgeon. What a fight! Approx. 50 lbs., and
safely released. According to the radio chatter, there were quite a

…My wife caught and release her first Blue Marlin…( there is no
talking to her from now on. believe me) Both of my daughters caught
and released their first Striped Marlin.. On the first day my son
caught and boated his first Striped Marlin and is the New current
Club record at 143 Lbs. A big congratulations goes out to him.. I
have been waiting 18 years for this moment. The total count for the
two days we fished were…Six out of Seven for Marlin… (we had four or
five behind the boat on the second day playing with our live baits,
but could not get them to eat ) Three for Three on Dorado....I also
lost two Wahoo’s.... I took lots of pictures, and I will pass them on
when we get back. The weather is great, the food is great, and the
fishing is outrageous…Just when you think it can’t get any better it
does…. That’s Cabo… I am one happy camper... :)

On Thursday
we did an Offshore Shark trip with Paul Koopmann and his crew from
the sports division of the Versus Television network. The whole gang
flew in on the corporate plane the night before, and bunked in at the
Montauk Yacht Club. They brought in enough food and drink to feed an
army. We do a lot of corporate trips every year but this crew was the
most skilled we have had the pleasure to fish with in a long time. We
left the dock in Montauk and headed to the point. I figured we would
make a quick pass, and pick up a few blue fish for bait... Not a
chance..All we could get was striped bass, they were everywhere. The
fall run is going on BIG TIME !!!! So I pulled in the lines and
headed southeast towards the Hole and dropped in at 218 feet of
water. This spot has produced for me many times this year. After
about an hour the Blue sharks started to show up. Over the next
several hours the crew had a ball releasing three big blue dogs..
Then Mister Mako showed up, and let me tell you he had BIG shoulders.
For the next half an hour we fought this bad boy. It went ballistic
and I could see he was well over 200 Lbs… It was starting to get a
little hairy and I had to start the boat up and go after him. However
luck was not on our side and we pulled the hook ... Sh*t Happens... A
little while later his little brother jumped on a bait. The crew made
short work of him and into the box he went... A real griller....Everyone
was going to eat good tonight. The crew decided to head back and hit
the bass at the point. When we got there the Blitz was ON in full
force. No pun intended, but it got to the POINT of insanity.
Everywhere you looked the bass were boiling up on top. Rods were bent
and reels were screaming..It was time to break out he Fly rods and go
to work.. Let me tell you these guys know what they are doing. Even
in high winds they were able to put the boots to the bass on a FLY

of gulls diving on sand eels. Marked bait and fish below. Final
tally: one snapper, one sea robin and one skate. Where did the bass
go?

I just did a
day trip to the Fish Tails on Saturday... Very slow overall... I
trolled the flats and then went off into the deep…I got lucky and
boated a 80 to 90 Lb. Yellow on a 30 Wide.. The bad boy hit a
ballyhoo on a little jet with 80 Lb. fluro...This rig was intended
for a White Marlin...Who knew!!! He put up a good fight for the
angler. I told Charlie to be easy with him as he wired him right up
to the transom.. Then as the fish was right on top behind the boat
the leader broke.. The good news was that my son was right there with
the gaff for a perfect head shot... Everything happened as if it was in
slow motion, right up until the big yellow hit the deck. What a
relief !!!! My son had just saved the entire trip... We also did a
good job on the Mahi’s… They are getting bigger.. We had a bunch
between 7 and 12 Lbs. All day long everything we had was on a bally..
The only fish taken on a lure was a Hugh Mahi on my Black Bart “Hot
breakfast” in the long rigger position… This was a repeat of the
yellow fin fight…. As soon as the fish came up to the boat, where we
were able to get a good look at him we pulled the hook… From the
bridge I eye-balled him at over 25 lbs… Charlie said he was closer to
30 or 35 lbs. Anyway shit happens… We had a GREAT tuna season this
year (June and July)… But I am starting to think it might all be
over… I hope I am wrong !!!!!

3-4 squid boats working on the west side flats south of the Bombs.
Saw some bait, some whales, and a few pods of skippies. Then trolled

Had another
great Day working the PODS. I shared a Pod by myself with a 20'
whale. It was incredible to watch him come up from under the Pod with
his mouth open coming nearly half his body length out of the water.
Other times he would wack the pod with his tale or belly whop them.
Awsome show for over an hour. I did manage to hook up with 1 nice
fish that again I involuntarily released 10' from the boat while this
was going on. The whale finally filled up and moved off. I picked up
two more fish 1 38 and another 30. What a day!

I got the

boat "Canyon Rose"... The action was non-stop for most of
the day. There were more keepers than shorts. We started in front of
the radar dome, and then we moved down the beach right in front of
Town (30 to 40 feet of water)...I got lucky and had the largest fish
of the day at 9 1/2 pounds. We also had four fish over 4 Pounds and
one over 5 pounds...The action should only get better over the next
few weeks...

Steady, if
not spectacular, pick of small stuff on the north side, west of the
bridge. Probably got the tide wrong, fishing from the very end of the
outgoing through the slack and the first couple hours of incoming
water, which was noticeably cooler than water in the bay and probably
kept things slow. The biggest fish (but still shorts) on a 2 oz Spro
bucktail & squid; squid and spearing on a high hook confirmed
that the 2008 year class was as good as advertised--some of the
smallest shorts I've caught in years. Every party boat in Captree was
in the same place, and there wasn't a lot of cheering on board any of
them; eventually they started wandering further down the inlet. There
were probably some legal fish caught, but not by me, and I'd bet most
after the tide started flowing out.

15-20 knots made drifting some what miserable (literally drifting
from the east jetty to the west jetty) By 5:30, the water was moving
so fast so I had a better drift. Soon enough, at the mouth of the
inlet in the rough water, I hook up a 42" bass. I drift back in
the same area 2 drifts later, My wife (who loves fishing now and does
not mind waking up early) hooks up a 32". All action on eels.

anglers. Weather held off and its a fun tournament but enough is
enough. I'm worried that the bunker are already moving out and
because there are so few fish, they're not schooled up. Terrible

I pulled the

Marlin Boulevard ( Flats north of the Dip to the Fish Tales ) There
has been Lots of action there for at least, three to four weeks..
However, the full moon and a North wind made for a SLOW BITE !!! Did
manage to get some small yellows and a few nice size Dolphins.. Not
much action on White Marlin reported, only a few all reported day....
Around 11 AM the man in the Blue Suit showed up.. He hit my Black
Bart ( Hot Breakfast ) on the Starboard Long rigger… I Will post
photos A.S.A.P.. The action should only improve as we move away from
the full moon, and the night bite gets going …

Sorry for
the late report. Went to Dip on Sunday 7/18. On way out got called
into promising spot by Tom Riley. While fish there weren't on the
feed it was great to see all the bait, life and birds. Thank you Tom!
Met up with Chip on his new boat at the Dip. He also called me in
when he found the fish. Thanks Chip! With all this help still no fish
on the Risk Biz. On way home 60 miles from FIInlet finally found
school of 50lb bluefins. Landed one lost another at boat. I sure am
lucky to be a memeber of the Club. Thanks guys.

Left early
AM today and there were thread herring or something like them
everywhere from 5:30-7. Finally at 7am the bunker came up but they
were spooky until around 7:45 and THEN IT WAS MAYHEM. Caught 5 fish
in 45 minutes, each one bigger than the last. They ranged from 26 -
40.95 lbs with only 1 under 30. Left them biting because work got in
the way of my fishing. Kevin on Bird Dog also had a bunch of really
nice fish the largest also near or over 40. FYI - all fish were on
the spinner with snagger left in the pod - not one on my bass rod.

shorts for four hours, beginning around 7:30 am. Bill dropped one
quality fish (est. 6-7 pounds) just too deep to net, likely due to
small hook on fluke ball. Fished squid and large spearing. Released
one striped bass in the 12-15 pound class that followed bait to
surface and hit just before bait was removed from the water. Drifted
from indicated location to the east and east-northeast, marking large

wrong again as the wind blew early and strong. As we got to the wreck
we once again spotted the Speedy aproaching on the horizon. This time
we dropped the hook and ended on perfectly on the high piece. He
circled us a few times as his mates for some reason yelled obsenities
at us (real porfesional) for being anchored there. I got lucky and
pulled the 9 pounder right in front of them. They then double
anchored and dropped back on us as the boats sometimes swung within
20 yds of each other (seas 4-8 ft.) until finally their Capt. came to
his senses and picked up and moved to another wreck. I guess he
realized that our lives were more important than the fish and that he
couldn't bully us off the wreck.

and a friend, catching the last of the ebb. Dead calm inlet, with no
white water at all on the bar. Didn't even get a hit!! We then
decided to just do a little bottom fishing over by the OBI rock
jetties. While having fun catching small sea bass and porgies, we
noticed pod after pod of bunker pouring in from the inlet. They were
all heading into the inlet between the rock jetties and sand bar. We
quickly snagged a few pieces and headed to the mussel beds just
outside the inlet. We picked 2 bass, 18 and 19 pounds, and had a few
blues chop up the baits. All on incoming water.

I had some

the good fluking we have had lately. I worked the same area that I
did for the tournament, and scored well again with 8 keepers for 4 of
us, including a 7.5 and two 6 pounders. We were able to skirt around
the thunderstorms, and had plenty of action all day long. One
interesting note - from the time I broke the inlet to the time I got
to Ocean Beach, I counted no less than 6 different ocean sunfish.
They must be having a feast on all of these jellyfish.

Did a
"pre-tournament" trip to the Reef on Sunday since reports
had come in the past few days that larger fish had moved into the
area. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and we actually had some
keepers to put in the box. I fished with my father, uncle, and a
friend, and managed 6 keepers, many shorts, and 1 keeper seabass. My
uncle caught the first keeper of the day on the first drift, and it
was the largest of the day, weighing in at 8.6 pounds. What a beauty!
Too bad it was a week early. All fish were caught on fluke
belly/spearing or Peruvian combos. I hope these fish stick around for
this weekend.

Weasel found
the fish mixed with the skipies. It was fun as the fish tried to take
every bait behind the boat even each lure on the spreader bars and
the teasers. By the end of the day every plastic ballyhoo teaser was
gone. We would wait until all eight rods had a fish to stop the
troll. Lost count of how many fish we actually caught but kept 12 for
the table. These are small fish but lots of fun. In the middle of the
day the BLUE one shows up behind a bird with a green machine comes
tight and then comes off just as fast. Heard late in the day that
there where fish in the tails which are a little bigger.

Since there
are no flounder at The Thumb, and the season ends tomorrow, I decided
to give it a shot in Moriches Bay where the bite has been hot lately.
I knew that the fishing had been better toward the top of the tide,
but I had other obligations later in the day. I fished the last of
the outgoing and the start of the incoming. Let's just say, the tide
COUNTS!! From 9:00AM to 1:15 PM, a buddy and I had only 3 fish in the
boat. From 1:15 to 2:00, we put 6 more in, and had to leave them
biting. Our biggest went 2.26 pounds, but I saw at least 4 fish on
other boats that easily went 3 pounds! I can't fish tomorrow, but if
you have the afternoon available, head to Buoy 20 in Moriches, and
you should be able to load up on some giant flounder.

Jack A. put
me on the Bunker - thanks Jack - and Natalie caught her first bass in
the inlet. Lots of fish but I think most of them are small because we
had a lot of pick-ups and swings and misses. Hopefully the bunker
stick around a while.

On the way
to the Air Show at Jones Beach we found several pods of Bunker in 30
feet of water just east of Today Beach. We snagged a few and took a
few drifts at the rota but no hits or runoffs and went to the air
show drifted around and caught 8 short fluke. On the way home we
snagged a few more bunker and got chopped by big blues but no bass. The
bunker were just below the surface and you had to look for the dark
shadows in the water and they were there. This is the first time this
year I've seen them there.

couple of hours. With gas near $5 a gallon and the bay a coffee

more. No bluefish at all. We didn't bring home any dinner, but still

of everything a free jumper every now and then..This must be
HEAVEN...Total count for the trip was Three Rosters...Eleven for
Sevnteen on Marlin with three Doubles, and One Thresher over 150#(on
40# Tackle ).... The BAD news,the largest marlin of the trip died at
the boat..I had him on the same 40# outfit to the boat three times,
and each time the mate could not hold him..The third time he went
under the boat and got hit by the prop...We were all very upset. He
weighed in at 160# more than twice the old CLUB RECORD..Just when I
think Cabo can't get any better....IT DOES...The Strangest part of

N/W blowing
15 to 20 with 25mph gusts. Sea’s not nice. We ran east of Point of
Woods stopping in the path the draggers were working. We caught a 4
lb, and one a little smaller. Then went on to the area of the Wolcott
and nailed a 6lb fluke, and another 4lb fluke. Lucky Charm was
working the same area, so we left the area, and headed for the fluke
spots off Point of Woods. We caught 4or 5 nice fish there up to 7
lbs. amongst many shorts 20” and under. We had about 1 ½ hours of
fishing time left so we headed toward the fleet near the Tradewinds
Two to fish with in easy view of the other boats. First drift we
picked another 7lb class fish right next to Snoopy. At this point we
were throwing 21” keepers back. We decided to make one last drift
while cleaning up and as luck would have it Chris nails a 10.64 lb
fluke. While cleaning the fish we discovered we had 16 fish not
counting the keepers we threw back. My best day of fluking ever.
Great Tournament and Kudos to Neail and his score keeper Bob A. This
is maybe 85% True I think :)

After making one drift near the reef, we noticed a small fleet of
boats a few miles southeast. We headed that way and made a few
drifts. The action was not fast and furious, but the fish that were
caught were quality ones. We ended the day with 8 keepers, 6 of which
were over 4.5 lbs, with the biggest going a whopping 9.05 lbs. -

let me echo the sentiments of Anthony Cairo. The unselfish acts of
both Chip and Colie the night of the Captain's meeting just
reinforces the fact that we have a great bunch of guys in this club.
I am truly proud to be a member of SSMTC. I fished the reef again
today with my father and 2 hunting buddies. We slammed them today,
catching well over 60 fish, with 9 keepers to 5 lbs. The best part -
NO DOGFISH!! Fluke belly and spearing again was the bait of choice.

You may
remember I broke 2 (yes, 2) rods in 1 day in October. After 30
minutes on the internet I discovered that Cape Fear is out of
business. I did find St Croix Rods in Wisconsen. I mailed the broken
rod into St Croix and today, only 2 weeks later received a brand new
replacement, no questions asked. So I am definately a St Croix fan.
Early Christmas!

Proving
Paulsen's latest post to be sheer nonsense, Bird Dog crushed the bass
yesterday. Lost count after a dozen 25 to 30 lb fish. Huge bunker
pods inside with ridiculous amounts of fish underneath. I had earlier
caught a few shad which were eaten in about 10 seconds when placed
near a pod. Snagged bunker lasted only a little bit longer. Paulsen
no longer welcome on Bird Dog. Mutinous intentions have not gone

after 3 seconds of fishing. We had 6 fish on plugs overall in a very
tough day for fishing. Otherwise it was a strange day. I broke 2
rods, one on a fish and the other on a very bad cast. Then we had to
drop Glenn off at home at 2:00 so he could drive to Good Sam to have
a hook removed from his finger. First place fish was 29 lbs from a
bunker pod outside. FYI - there are still bunker all over outside.

out and just deployed the WITCH DOCTOR when the fun began. 5
yellowfin climed on and the crazy fire drill was on. We boated all 5.
The lines and cockpit looked like a freight train ran through

catching blues and stripers on flyrods. Unfortunately as far as
fishing this would rank as a highlight. Traveled to the Dip and later
the Fishtails on Friday and proceeded to go the whole day with one
knockdown and zero hook ups. Saturday only mildly better, boating a
52 lb. longfin and a bunch of mahi off the pot. Crew of Paulsen and
Shanks did provide good company and laughs. Actually looking to
returning to the comfort and full fish box of Kaos. I can't believe I
said that. On a serious note kudos to Suffolk and White Water for a
great job of putting on a top notch tournament.

up at 1200 ft. as temps soared from 74 to 78 degrees. We were soon
rewarded with all 6 rods down. Managed to go 6 for 6 despite crew of
six running around like school girls in a fire drill. Went 5 fo 5
soon after and 25 for 25 for the day. Kept a bit less than our limit
and thought we had the tournament winner after landing a 103 lb.
yellow. Nice work on that eyeball Joe; did you have to enter the
calcutta? Ocean was certainly alive as we had acres of yellowfin
busting water nearly all morning. Also saw 2 blue marlin, one

"Kaos

Kaos, emerged Sunday once again as a red hot, fish-raising, canyon
hot rod. The Kaos crew of Paulsen and Braddish kids put a dozen
yellow fin in the box up to 60 lbs. Great day trolling with several
multiple hook ups and landings. Judging from the radio chatter there
was a massive bite as seemingly everyone was hooking up. Kudos to
another club member Bimini Bum for waving in Tred Barta and others to
the larger fish in the deep. Lastly, Phil, I think you were following

literally right up out of the water to the bow of the boat to check

Sunday with my father and cousin. We were approx. 3-4 miles east of
the water tower in 70-74 feet. Had to power drift for the first hour
or so due to no drift, but once the wind picked up, the action was
great. We ended with 12 keepers, most in the 20-22 inch range, and
one beauty that went 7.5 lbs. If you are heading out there, try to
bring a cast net. There were acres and acres of peanut bunker around
all day. No bass, blues, or tuna were on them, which was surprising,
because they were all over the place! Again, all fluke were caught on
fluke belly/spearing combos.

Paulsen's bunker up to the surface only to swirl and miss. Lost the
tide and watched a huge bluefish chase our baits on the surface. Saw
another boat pull in 3 fish as soon as we got there. Last of the

Most schoolies but we managed one @ 30". There were bass jumping
clear out of the water chasing what looked like herring. Some of the
fish looked pretty sizable, we just didn't catch any of those. The
bass took bass assassins and plugs. They'drobably hit almost

Fished the
Babylon Tournament with Mike Zacpal. We managed 5 fish between
35" and 38". Fish were in the hi teens. We could not find
one with shoulders. We worked from Atlantique to the inlet using live
bunker and chad. Billy T. had 3 fish 25lb class good for 3rd, 4th and
5th place, Scotty from Augies took 1st and 2nd with 2 around 28
lb???? Thats not luck, they know something we don't. Did anyone see
Billy during the day. He may have found bigger fish further east. I
saw Scotty working near the light house? We fish against Babylon next
week so put your fishing reports up.

I feel like
the Yankees very inadequit, I could not buy a Bass these days if I
tried I must be doing something drastically wrong.Fished South Beach
back to The Lighthouse from 4:00am till 8:00am without a single
hit.Clean outgoing water from the top,at 7:30 under the main span on
the bridge all the bunker you wanted w/ no fish under them.Water temp
53 w/ a north east wind perfect BASS day w/ no Bass.My wife thinks Im
having an affair leaving the house at all hours of the night, and not
bringing home any fish, I guess I would be better off. DIGGER

temp looks like it dropped 1 or 2 degrees, I just cant seem to figure
these things out anymore. It does seem like during the day guys are
doing a bit better but who knows, maybe there just smart and are not
running around in all hours of the night looking for these things.
atleast it was a beautiful night and there was a lot of radio chatter
that S of The 100 square was producing large amounts of yellowfins.
