| April 17, 2008 Happy Spring everyone. Captain John and I have been getting the boat ready for this season and will be ready during May. The weather and water are warming up already. Weekends during the summer are already filling up so book your trips soon.

| July 18, 2007 I apologize for the lack of reports for the last three weeks. I have definitely been remiss about updating this report. However, the fishing has continued to be excellent. We have yet to encounter the usual slow down that occurs in July and the Bluefish have yet to be a significant nuisance. We have caught our limit and then some on all but maybe three trips this year. We have been catching some big stripers also. We caught a couple in the fifty pound range as well as atleast a dozen that weighed over 40. Although not every trip has brought in a fish of this size, it seems chances of scoring a huge striper are better this year than any other I have encountered. Weekends are filling up but we still have plenty of weekedays open. Book your trip now, you don't want to miss the action this year.

| June 26, 2007 Saturday and Sunday produced decent fishing this weekend. On Saturday the fish were tough to find until about 11:00 when we found a huge group of fish feeding. We caught over fifteen fish in about an hour and a half making our day. On Sunday the fish were waiting for us as we arrived at the North End. We filled the boat before 10:00 and heading to the beach to do some fluking. It seems the fish continue to feed on sand eels and small scup out by the island.

| June 18, 2007 Today the fishing was excellent again. Although the bass we caught were not as big as the last few days, we still caught them up to 25 pounds. We caught over thirty five bass total today and had worn the customers out by 10:30. After fishing for bass we did a little fluking. We caught about half a dozen good sized fluke with some sea bass mixed in, however, due to the new regulations, keeper fluke are still a little bit tough to find.

| June 17, 2007 Big Stuff! Over this weekend we did two trips and hammered the bass despite the weekend crowd out by Block Island. We caught bass up to 50 pounds on Saturday and up to 40 pounds on Sunday. Both days we caught well over our limit, boating at least twenty bass each day. Most of our keepers were around twenty pounds and up! The bluefish are around but not enough to be much of a nuisance and there seems to be a healthy amount of bait around. Heading out on Saturday morning we saw fish chasing bait on the surface outside Pt. Judith and around Block Island. The fishing doesn't get much better than it has been this weekend. We have another trip tomorrow and hopefully this great run will continue.

| June 10, 2007 The bass fishing was not as red hot as it had been the last few trips today. However, we were still able to catch our limit despite catching more than ten throwbacks. There was alot of action on the northern side of the island today with fish on the surface and birds circling overhead. Conditions are still pointing to a great summer.

| June 2, 2007 Today the weather and fishing was excellent. We had light winds, plenty of sun, warm temperatures, and pretty calm seas. We started the day out fishing for bass. We caught bass on both the north and south ends of Block Island. Besides a few short lulls in activity, the action was non-stop. We caught about twenty bass reaching up to about 20 pounds. Before 10 a.m. we had our limit of bass and went closer to the island for some fluke fishing. The fluking was ok. We caught about twenty or twenty five but the fish were a bit on the small side. Overall a we could not ask for a better day.

| May 25, 2007 May 25 was our first trip of the year. We did pretty well catching some good size fish including three in the 25 to 30 pound range. We caugh fish all around Block Island though our trip was cut a bit short because our customers needed to get in early. Weather was nice with warm temperatures and lots of sun, the seas were a bit high however but that didn't stop us from catching plenty of fat bass. It seems that the fish have started to arrive. The water is just getting warm enough for the bass. In the next few weeks the fishing will probably be at its best. I will post some images from the trip in the gallery soon.
