I fished today with William Wolcott and his fiancee Liz. 

Every year I donate a fishing trip to Ducks Unlimited as a supporter for their live auction at the annual meeting and Gala at the Racquett  Club in Manhattan. William bid on the trip and won so today was the fulfillment of that pledge. William and Liz are also strong supporters of DU and anyone that loves the outdoors and hunts waterfowl should also belong to this great organization.

We had a good day of fishing and finally had a great weather day. We caught bait early in the morning and then fished until 1 pm. William and Liz both had fish and all were in the 18 to 20 pound range.

It was fun fishing on a beautiful day with a great crew.

Another great day on the water.

I fished today with my old buddy Tony Mazzara from Tucson, Arizona who is back home visiting.

We had a great day of fishing. We trolled deep diving Danny plugs and Mepps plugs and caught bluefish to 14 pounds and bass to 20 pounds.

The fall run is definitely beginning. No real monster bass yet but they will be here in another week or two. Action is real good.

Here is my buddy Tony with one of the smaller fish of the day. The action was great with huge blues and nice bass.

It was a picture perfect day and we had a blast reconnecting and spending some quality time together.

Another great day on the water with a long time best friend.

I fished today with Brad Brown, Ginny and Rob (center, right and left) out of Saltaire.

We had a good day of fishing with a nice catch of seabass and fluke.

Fluke fishing was better in the inlet than it was in the ocean. We had four keeper fluke and about a dozen legal size seabass. The seabass were caught in the ocean on a little piece that if found. 

We probably caught 40 or 50 fluke mostly shorts but lots of action.

Another excellent day on the water with good people.

Today I fished with Greg Tessar and his sons Matt, Dan and Greg Jr. (Right to left). We had a spectacular day of striped bass fishing on the pods in the ocean.

We had many fish with most in the 35 to 45 pound range.

The wind was blowing and the fish were eating. 

This was a great crew. Dad and his sons having a great time.

They won this trip at a National Wild Turkey Federation dinner hosted by Peter Fazio. His game dinners are the best and the prizes are outstanding.  He also does Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl dinners. Greg and his sons cashed in on a great prize and a great day of fishing.

Another memorable day on the water with a great crew.

What a great day of bass fishing on the bunker pods.

Here is George early in the morning with a 40 pound bass.

The first pod we jumped had fish on it.

George did a nice release in this fish.

A little later I got into a nice fish of 46 pounds. It took a hundred yards of line before it stopped.

We kept one fish for the table this day. All other fish were in great shape and released. 

The big girl swimming away.

My buddy Rich Santos with a very nice 48 pounds fish on his newly reloaded Mako 23. Nice fish Rich.

George and Billy on Billy's hot Whaler. Nice fish too.

Here is a crew to be reckoned with. Look out Mrs. Striped Bass.

Another great day on the water.

Today I fished with Ben Kaminow and Rob Buetti (left to right).

We had a good day of fishing and it was finally a nice weather day with lots of sun and a favorable wind.

We had some nice bass up to 28 pounds and the bluefish were still relentless. We worked hard for the fish we caught but it is all part of the day. You never know what is going to happen until it does.

Another memorable day on the water with a great crew.

I fished today with Carl Curcio out of Oak Beach.

We had a good morning of striped bass fishing on a not so nice day. The wind was blowing and the ocean was a mess. We worked plugs and bait for a nice bass of 30 pounds and a smaller fish of about 15 pounds. 

We also had a keeper fluke.

Overall it was a great success with good company and good fishing. Another excellent day on the water.

I fished today with Jerry Puccio and his friends, Darren, and Carlo (right to left).

We worked hard today for fish but found a couple. The wind was blowing and the bluefish were chomping. It was tough but we prevailed.

We had two nice fish one on bait and one on a plug.

The weather and bluefish hurt us today but that is the way fishing goes. One day easy and one day tough.

Over all it was a good day with a good crew. Fish in the boat and another great day on the water.

 I fished today with Mark Epstein and his pal Ken ( right to left) out of Saltaire.

We had a good day of striped bass fishing. Bait was tough to get today but we prevailed catching a limit of bass to 25 pounds and bluefish.

It was a beautiful day, probably one of the best days this spring.

Good friends, good weather and good fishing makes for another great day on the water.
