It's almost time!! We will begin sailing Saturday April 5th for Stripers. Bunkers showing up already in the bay, hopefully the bite will be on. I wouldn't expect too much though.....

Lots of Small fish last season, in both the Spring and Fall. The big fish never made it this way in december. A week after we stopped sailing I saw pics coming out of Virginia and North Carolina of many 25 to 40 pound cows!! I'm sure the lack of Herring inshore, for us, had alot to do with those fish bye-passing our area.

Not happy with the Fluke or the Fuel situation for this season. We are already being warned of $4.00 or more a gallon. As you know, I have always tried to keep the price fair, I certtainly realize how much it cost in addition to the fare just to fish for one day. I am in a constant battle from the Fluke regulations,too now trying to prep myself for the Saltwater fishing licence fight. Who would have ever though such a simple way of life would ever become so complicated!! One thing is a gauraunty, I'll give you 110% every time out, will go where we have to go and do what we have to do to survive......Capt.Ron
