    Captain's Table - Sea Bass Time

    One of my loyal customers, Cindy, and her crew joined me yesterday for a half day Sea Bass trip in the Sound. Picture perfect conditions allowed us to set the anchor up quickly on one of my favorite drops just north of Plum. It didn’t take long before the Sea Bass found our baited hooks and the...

    Captain's Table - Montauk Fluke Rolls On

    Despite a steady 12-15kt SW breeze and consistent 2-3’ roll on the ocean, today’s group of experienced anglers came prepared to put a nice dent in the Fluke population. The crew consisted of Matt, Jenn, Chef Nader, and my lifelong friend Neil who made a rare appearance traveling all the way from...

    Captain's Table - Steamy Montauk Fluke

    Despite the rather toasty temperatures, today’s ocean conditions were nearly perfect for a Montauk Fluke charter. On board were 4 skilled anglers including William, Bill, Capt. Frank, and the intrepid Chef Nader. Started off close to the point on the last hour of ebb and we quickly boated 10...

    Captain's Table - Sea Bass for Dinner

    Scoring with keeper sized Sea Bass in the eastern Sound has been a challenge up to this point. Tons of culling for only a handful of boxers so far but Mark and his uncle, Joel helped turn things around a bit today on their annual half day summer charter. Tried one of the drops that held some...

    Captain's Table - Montauk Fluke, Part 2

    What a difference 4 days can make. Following a super solid Fluke outing to Montauk’s south side on Monday I had a high level of confidence that today’s crew of Kevin, Niki, Paul, and Depesh would enjoy similar results. The morning started off well with a few short Fluke and Sea Bass followed...

    Captain's Table - Solid Montauk Fluking

    For once in a very long time the weather report regarding sea conditions was wrong…in the right direction! Following 3 straight days of east winds I anticipated a pretty lumpy ocean as was the case this past Saturday while fishing with a good friend to the west. Instead after a nice calm ride...

    Captain's Table - Montauk Fluke Opening

    I have 2 spots filled and 2 more open for a Montauk Fluke trip scheduled for Wednesday July 30. This is prime time for a good Fluke bite on Montauk's south side. Always a good chance at some quality Fluke here along with a good amount of fat Sea Bass as a nice by catch. Give me a call if you...

    Captain's Table - First Montauk Trip

    Normally I avoid fishing on the major holiday weekends for several obvious reasons. But a last-minute call from my most long-term charter customers coupled with a perfect weather window turned into our first Montauk Fluke run of the season. Sal, Frank, Maria, and the venerable Chef Nader all...

    Captain's Table - What's for Dinner...Bass & Weakfish!

    Today I had a threesome of regulars join me for a combo Bass/Weakfish trip to kick off summer. For once, the weather actually cooperated on a weekend date and the skies were clear with light winds making for very pleasant conditions. I opted for the morning Ebb tide at the Gut as it had...

    Captain's Table - Bass Attack!

    Today was the kind of day only a Striped Bass, or avid Striped Bass fisherman, could love. Plenty of east wind, hard running tide, and overcast downright chilly weather conditions. So, I decided to tough it out and take the rather choppy ride out to the Gut for this morning’s flood tide. As...

    Captain's Table - Kids Day!

    Today’s half day charter included long term customers John and Ricky along with John’s 2 Grandsons Connor and Troy for their second annual Peconic Bay trip. One year older and more experienced, the boys took up right where they left off last year putting the hurt on the local Porgy population...

    Captain's Table - Soggy Monday Charter

    Despite the rather soggy and breezy weather yesterday the Elias party of 4 still hung in there to make a decent catch of Scup and Weakfish on the morning charter in Peconic Bay. Half of the crew had never fished before and missed a lot of the rather rapid Porgy bites so the guys did fall short...

    Captain's Table - Bass/Mixed Bag Opening 6/21

    Two of my long-term regulars have Saturday 6/21/25 booked for a Striped Bass/Mixed Bag 6-hour trip. Following the Bass fishing we will head back west to work on hitting our Weakfish limit, as the action for this species has recently heated up as well. So that leaves room for 2 more anglers...

    Captain's Table - Mixed Bag Today

    Had the Chris party of join me today for a spring mixed bag trip under some beautiful weather conditions. Started the morning on the ebb tide for Bass in the Gut and while the fish were there, the bite today was a bit slower than my last few outings. Still, the guys worked hard and after just a...

    Captain's Table - The "Streak" Continues!

    My family has a very long-standing tradition of bringing all our members together, even some from far out of state, to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend. Since we are all seafood lovers, I have always made it my commitment to catch a fresh Striped Bass for our BBQ Grill as one of the special...

    Captain's Table -2 Degrees is all it Took!

    Amazing how all it took was a change in temperature of only 2 degrees and 4 days’ time to turn on the Bass at Plum Gut! On Monday’s trip my gauge never got above 50 degrees but this morning at 52 degrees I began fishing in a real pea soup fog with a positive attitude. Didn’t take long on the...

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Today

    Today was prospecting day for me as I decided to check out the Bass action at Orient along with a mix of our traditional species inside Peconic Bay. Bass were at least 10 days late inside the bay this season and it seems the same pattern is happening to the east. Despite a full moon and good...

    Captain's Table - Porgy Heaven!

    My 2025 charter season started off with a huge bang for my loyal Porgy fans, Tony and his buddies who make the long drive from NJ several times each year. Perfect weather and light tides made for a very enjoyable and action-packed trip. All it took was one drop at a favored spot near Shelter...

    Captain's Table - Prospecting Day

    After 6 weeks of hard work the boat is finally floating, shining brightly, and ready to fish! Did a solo trip yesterday to begin testing out various drops for our legendary spring Scup run in advance of my first charters next week. Although, Porgies are available through a wide range of waters...
