Big Bass in the Rips and What the Fluke are Eating!
Sometimes, it's more than just the fishing. Long time client Ryan uses his fishing and hunting trips with his son Kai to teach Kai about the outdoors life, including filleting fish. It does help though when the fishing (somewhat) cooperates.
On this June day, joining Ryan and Kai were friends Bobby and Steven, and the bass certainly cooperated with stripers up to 40" caught. The fluke and weakfish didn't quite cooperate as well, but there was a nice two porgy surprise in the belly of the one keeper fluke we caught (which Kai, naturally, filleted).

Valhalla 55 - The Definition of the Word "Beast!"

Over the past 6 years, I've had the distinct pleasure of reviewing and often riding in some world-class boats, including Gradys, Invincibles, Sea Vees and Freemans. They all take a backseat to this beast, the Valhalla 55. For those of you not aware of the Valhalla's lineage, it is the center console division of Viking Yachts and powered by Quad V12 Mercury 600s, will effortless (although not ef...
From Zero to Hero (with a Blue Joke Mixed in)! Striped Bass Fishing Doesn't Get Better or Funnier

The fishing started slow with the guys struggling to understand the style of fishing we were doing, especially Vinny. Once they got it though, the bass action was non-strop with 27 bass caught, many over slo...
Picking Boats by the Side of the Road - Potential Gem Discovered - 28' Bertram for 30K!

We probably have reached peak economic prosperity for now. Million dollar center consoles, 80 thousand dollar pickup trucks, wild North Fork home prices, someday those bills will need to be paid off.
