I fished today with Captain John Raguso of the Fisherman magazine and Tim Smith of Skimmeroutdoors.com as video and camera man.

We did a light tackle shark trip to the near shore area about 18 miles southeast of Fire Island Inlet.

We had a great time catching and tagging 2 small makos and a thresher shark. The makos were about 50 pounds, and 70 pounds and the thresher about 125.

We caught all on tuna jigging sticks and had a great time. There were loads of tinker mackerel in the chum slick and when they disappeared  we knew the sharks were in the chum slick.

A great day of fishing and this will make for a great Fisherman TV show for August.

Today I fished out of Saltaire with Doug Modico and his sons Jackson and Nate (left to right).

We had a good time fishing for fluke and were rewarded with four nice keepers. Two exceptional fish at 4 pounds for Nate and a great 6 pound fish for Jackson. The photo does not do the fish justice as they were really big and fat.

I am fishing "Spro"bucktails with a pink 4 inch Gulp mullet up above and it has been a serious good combination for big fish.

Finally no fog to deal with and a perfect weather day.

Another memorable day on the water with a great family.
