    Are you hanging it up for the season or still fishing?

    If the weather cooperates you should be able to catch some really big Sea Bass on the offshore wrecks, maybe even a Cod! Good luck if you go!

    Old school approach in the hands of a skilled angler works wonders! Well done, Kona.

    Many thanks to Pete for always positioning the boat just right with traditional ground tackle to give us the best possible chance to score. Experience shows!!

    Aqualina Charters End of Season and 2026 news

    Nice finish to what was a very challenging fall, wind wise, for everyone Congratulations on the powerplant upgrade. The Grady should be flying with those new engines and probably be a little stingier on the fuel consumption as well. Have a great and hopefully, quiet winter! Personally, I have...

    I'm praying as hard as I can for the wind to back off! Would like to get at least one last crack at the Tog.

    If he cares about his customers and repeat business, he will. Kind of tough to Tog fish on an elevator!!

    Key West

    Looks like a ton of fun plus the typical wide variety of species available to anglers in those waters. Cobia are both excellent fighters and terrific on the table. Too bad that one didn't make the cut but I'm sure it was fun to catch.

    Just when you thought it was over

    So happy to see the "Legend" still going at it strong. I was really disappointed that we could not make any one of our 3 planned dates work this fall but I have a feeling Frank SR. will be ready to go next spring! You might want to consider a Striped Bass/ Weakfish combo with me in early to...

    Captain's Table - Season Finale

    I completed my 2025 season yesterday with three friends hoping to score some late season Tog for the table and freezer. Mitch, his son Dan, and my long-term friend Pete were able to take advantage of one of this fall’s rare calm days for a last shot at my Fishers Island drops. Started off in...

    It was fun but far too few opportunities this fall.

    Captain's Table - Chilly but Calm Tog Action

    The wind finally cooperated yesterday for a Tog charter with a top-notch crew of Blackfish anglers including Sal, Frank, Steve, and Chef Nader. With very calm conditions we made the longer run to Fishers I. and were rewarded with solid Tog action all day. First drop for the last 2 hours of the...

    Current and Blackfish

    I would not leave your jigs home, Matt. As you noted there is always a slack water period as the current flow starts to reverse direction when it will be possible to use some light tackle. The difference between the "Big Moon" periods and the quarter phase periods is the amount of time it takes...

    Lep's Flea Market

    Hi Steve, Assuming our weather forecast holds you will have a chance to fish the rod in actual real-life conditions. If you already have a reel to pair with it by all means, bring it along. If not, I can loan you a 3000 class Shimano Spheros that has been its companion. Looking forward to a...
