Although the weather forecast was a bit "iffy", Jasmine, Garvin and Capy Joby took a chance at some live-lining in the Sound at first light. Despite it being their very first time fishing, the duo certainly learned quickly how to entice some quality stripers! They each managed 2 bass, including Garvin's 18 pounder and Jasmine's slot fish (winner, winner, striper dinner!). Unfortunately, the weather turned foul earlier than expected and the group had to head in early and reschedule finishing the trip.  ...

What an AMAZING trip! Rob, Sean, Kate and Shawn booked a NYC tour with Capt Joby, and wanted to do a little fishing in the Sound before the tour. The group managed to land four beautiful stripers to 22 pounds in about an hour's time! What followed, was a leisurely ride down the East River to admire NYC from the water.

The fact...

New to fishing, Paul and his family decided to try a late morning angling lesson with Capt Joby aboard the Regulator. Drifting live bunker over some of the local deep water spots, the group managed to hook up with a few bluefish and stripers including one in the new slot (dinner!). While this was their first time out on the local waters, everyone did a great job understanding and implementing the difficult technique of fishing live bait for bass.
