MARCH TO PRESENT

We have fished very regularly since we took delivery of the vessel on March 9, 2004.  A few early season cod trips produced some nice cod and pollack mixed in with schoolies, big bergals and ling.  Early in April we had a few days of spotty blackfish, however, as the water warmed, we got in a few great trips with togs (Blackfish) up to 7lbs.

Striped bass season started early this year in the back of Raritan bay.  There are too many trips to talk about.  To sum them up, we clamed them, spooned them, and caught them with live bunkers up to 40lbs.
