Once again, the forecast called for more smoke from up north. It didn't take into account that we'd be adding to it with some SMOKING REELS! Friday evening Ron P. and his buddies joined Capt Joby for some live-lining action and were certainly pleased with the outcome of the trip. After battling a dozen monster bluefish to 14 pounds mid-sound, we then concentrated our efforts on some shallower spots for the bass. Again, all the bass were well over the slot, the biggest of 8 a respectable 26 pounds. We...

On their visit from Texas to the Big Apple, Darrin, Kristin, Miranda and Autumn braved the unsettled weather for an evening trip with Capt Joby. In a matter of minutes of the boat anchoring up, Autumn hooked into her first of 5 stripers of the night. For the hours that followed, the group managed a total of 12 bass and an equal number of huge bluefish- all on live bunker. To cap off the night, Darrin put on a textbook performance of how to land a giant- a 48 inch,...

Sometimes you leave the dock and the morning feels "fishy": you just know everything is perfect for an excellent trip. That was Saturday morning, without a doubt. Craig, Lincoln and Alli hopped on board with Capt Joby and proceeded to enjoy an absolutely savage bite of bass mixed with blufish for over 3 hours! While fresh cut bait managed to pull a few fish, live bunker was definitely the key to enticing the often finicky stripers. The trio managed over a dozen bass, all over the slot with the biggest...

We expect the June bite to start slowing down after the moon, but it has actually shifted to an all bait bite and gotten even better. Stan Ramey and his boys had double digit stripers and all but one were well over the slot. There were no shorts. The largest fish was just under 30lbs. They also had loads of giant bluefish. Every bluefish came to the boat with at least two striped bass following it! The stripers have turned their attention to picking up the bluefish scraps. It is...

After the past few days of relentless Northeast wind, it felt great to get off of the dock again. Although there was still a residual groundswell in the Sound, conditions were perfect for Tom, Joe, Peter, Matty and James to join Capt Joby for an evening striper trip. And the fish certainly did not disappoint! The group managed to land over a dozen stripers, all fish above the slot and the biggest coming in at just shy of 25 pounds. Of course, there were plenty of monster bluefish mixed in,...

Sometimes, mother nature dishes out some completely unfavorable conditions. Ed and his crew joined Capt Joby for a morning Striper trip, only to encounter gusty winds and a fair amount of debris in the water from the previous night's storms. However, after implementing an alternate approach, the Capt was able to pinpoint a much better spot.  The crew managed to land over a dozen beautiful slot bass on live bunker! It looks as though this bass bite will stay strong well into July....

On what may have been the most perfect evening weather-wise, Clifford, Marcie and Cliff witnessed first hand the amazing bass bite we have going on in the Western Sound. Capt Joby didn't get the second bait in the water before Clifford was locked into a beautiful 34 inch striper! The trio bagged their limit on the first drift, then practiced catch and release with another dozen bass and countless big bluefish before the sun went down. As an added bonus, they were treated to a random fireworks show on the...

The incredible bug striper bite continued on Sunday as Capt Andy took out Chris Defeo, his brother, and their three boys.  It was the first time for the boys to battle the big Western Sound Striped Bass and they had their hands full!  On the very first drift they caught a 35lb+ striper and two more in the slot.  An hour later, they got into a sustained shallow water bite and caught another dozen stripers that were all in or over the slot.  There were no shorts and only a...

When the bite is this good, and someone asks you to do a last minute trip there's only one thing to say: LET'S GO! Pat and Al joined Capt Joby for a quick trip on Sunday and absolutely crushed the bass and bluefish. Again, live lining bunker was the ticket to non-stop action, many of the fish blasting the baits at boat-side. In three hours the duo landed 12 bass to 23 pounds and 9 bluefish from 10 to 14 pounds....
