    This weeks stretch of good weather allowed me to run a couple of trips to Montauk searching for the elusive keeper Fluke. Monday found Bruce, Steve, and young Brady join me for the first outing. Started at one of my favorite south side drops and on the second drift Bruce lands a nice 20” keeper...

    Capt lou and the captree pride

    No explanations needed, Panga. Personally, I am not a big fan of party boat fishing either. Obviously as a boat owner, I only patronize other charters in my offseason or for a species I am not equipped to handle. This summer I have either been fishing mainly for Sea Bass, ocean Fluke when the...

    Capt lou and the captree pride

    Panga, your last sentence is a very important clue. People who are unfamiliar with the area think that because they are fishing in the bay, they do not have to pay close attention to the tidal stage or moon phase. Until you understand that the current in the Peconics can run just as fast as it...

    The photo and the story are priceless, Steve! I believe many of us have the greatest experiences of all when it comes to fishing with kids. It's one of the biggest reasons I loved running the kids camp trips on the Orient Star. You will forever remain a giant in the heart of your nephew all...

    You make some very valid points, Matt. With the ever rising cost of operartion, steady decline in fish avialability of most species, age creeping up on us all, it is easy to give in to the calls of let someone else shoulder the burden. Heck, while I was recovoerng from my heart surgery this...

    Captain's Table -Solid Bottom Fishing Week

    Typically, there are Porgies by the Greenlawns and the Brickyard all summer and into the early fall. The caveat here is the average sizes are much smaller than the spring run or what you will find off Gardiners or out in the Sound during the summer months. But if you work at it, you can put...

    Captain's Table -Solid Bottom Fishing Week

    Sorry for the late report but last week was a blur with 4 charters and a couple of recreational trips mixed in. My charters were mainly a group of bottom fishing trips for 3 very nice families and groups of friends. Starting last Monday, I had Andy and his kids out to do some damage on the...

    Beautiful day = Beautiful Fish

    Outstanding, Hunter. You are one of the few boats doing a consistently good job on Fluke during this very challenging season! Kudos to you and the crew!

    Another valiant effort on a really nice day for the ocean. BTW, did Stephen's "secret lure" look something like this? If so, I know where you can still buy a few! ;)

    Finally, the "Perfect" Tide Clock...

    I also appreciate the heads up on the NOAA outage. However, I am puzzled. Chinacat and I live less than 15 miles apart on eastern LI and my tide clocks never went down. Any theories, Roccus?

    Yesterday’s fine weather pattern allowed us to make our second Montauk Fluke trip of the season with a 4-man charter consisting of David, Sean, Nick and Frank. The results did show a slow but steady improvement that has the pattern most of us have experienced the entire year. Since we had...
