On the meat early before the traffic today....had a couple good shots with awesome action before the run & gun started.
Fished a new area out of the brunt of the wind, nice change of location that produced well.
All very nice fish in the 30-34 inch range with just a few smaller Bass in the mix. I also notched 2 more Striper Virgins on the Wheelhouse today....Congrads to the Lady & Gentleman on your first Bass.
Temps dropped all day, it now feels like November! Dress warm....Back at it in the AM.7:30 Sailing

Today we had Alan Bulvinowski's crew from the IBEW Local 456 out with us for their annual Striped Bass trip...
Left the dock right at the change in the Weather & Wind, front came through and was blowing pretty hard. Against the incoming it wasn't pretty so we took a ride trying to find some life in a calmer area...Didn't read Bait or fish the whole area where we had been fishing. 2 hours of nothing waiting for the change of tide.
Took another ride to a new area, found some life, stopped the boat and we went from Zero to Hero with everyone hooked up!! Bite lasted the rest of the trip with everyone ending up with sore arms & dinner! Turned out to be an awesome weather & fishing day once again.
Back at it in the AM. 7:30 Sailing, Open Boat, No Reservations just come on down. Fare is $90.
Don't miss out on the incredible Striper bite. Jigs are now working also, Crippled Herring, Plain jigs.
See you in the AM,
Capt.Ron
Started out the morning with a bang once again as the Bass were Hungry!
We had two hours of the tide left and slugged away on each drop...Bite slowed for a bit on the change maybe an hour but once the current came through the traffic dispersed the bite got red hot once again. Fish all on top catching them on shads and now more on jigs, crippled herring anything metal.
Still some beauties in the mix along with the bonus fish. High hooks in the 20's once again. Check out the live action video of the am fishing on Facebook, Captain Ron's Fishermen, the life is unreal.
WE ARE CHARTERED TOMORROW (SATURDAY), Back to Open boat on Sunday, 7:30 Sailing. No Reservations just come on down. Fare is $90.
Thanks for checking in,

I have been blessed over the years to have had some excellent Striped Bass fishing.
The clam fishing in the early 2000's to the amazing fall jig fishing the past several years. Nothing compares to what we had today!! I can honestly say this was the best Striper trip I have ever run, several have come close but with smaller fish.
Despite the wild traffic, we had an all day bite. The second drift once I could get on the meat away from the crowd we had over 100 fish! Joe, Jim and I went from customer to customer non-stop netting!
When the crowd chasing the birds got too tight we took a ride and found amazing action all by ourselves (almost), on readings from hell. Eric & Bill V. were Animals in the Bow with 34 & 20 fish each. Big John took the pool with a beauty at 38 inches. Novice bass fishermen and new to the game Big Tom is now addicted landing over a dozen fish. See Tom there is life after Fluke!
I had third generation customers who had a huge smile and great memories from today. I got to notch another Striper Virgin on the wheelhouse which always makes me smile.
We are fishing tomorrow, don't let the weatherman keep your ass home!!
NOT AVAILABLE SATURDAY I HAVE A CHARTER.......WE WILL BE OPEN BOAT ON SUNDAY.

Had life right off the bat on the change this morning, Started getting a little nasty with the wind against so we went for calmer waters.
Had almost an hour by ourselves with a bite from Hell! Fish on top and they were hungry. Bounced around all day slugging away. Just about everyone went home with a keeper and a Bonus fish with many guys in double digits once again.
Make sure you have some jigs with you as any day it's going to be a jig bite, the fish are starting to get a bit smaller and we are seeing life in the Ocean. We carry Jigs on-board.
Weather should be good the next couple of days....don't miss this awesome bite!
7:30AM Open Boat. No Reservations just come on down. Fare is $90.
WE ARE NOT AVAILABLE THIS SATURDAY...
