Pez Machine Sportfishing -- 11/18-25-- Incredible Action!!

[Pez Machine]

Today we had the Dave A. charter out and managed to leave the dock a little early.

As soon as we had enough light to see we got into the fish and it was wide open until the fleet showed up.

By 7am there were 100 boats on scene and things slowed somewhat.

We managed to catch 43 bass on soft baits and then went on the troll hoping to find some more fish away from the fleet a bit. We caught a blue and another bass on the troll and decided to get back to jigging.

Managed another 5 fish and then the guys called it a day early.

One of the fish was tagged with a Hudson River Foundation tag so I'm interested to see what the story is.

We are available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If you're looking to fish, now is the time!



11/22
It didn't take long to get into fish and before we knew it the stripers were boiling all around us.

We limited out in short time before switching over to catch and release.



11/21
Left the dock early in slick calm conditions and quickly got into bass blitzing on sand eels.

The Phil Shrode charter quickly limited out with jigs and soft plastics and continued to release fish until they'd had enough.

Today was our second of two striped bass trips to try and raise money for Movember USA with CJ Walsh.

We got on some fish away from the crowds and we were rewarded with excellent fishing. The group landed over 35 bass, kept a limit for the table and released the rest.

Once the bass bite slowed we went out a little deeper and had some good jigging action on blues.





11/19
On Saturday we had the Mark K. charter on the boat and saw the bass rolling up top at grey light. That was short lived as the boat traffic drove them down but we managed to get a couple of soft plastics and jigs before they were driven down.

Put it on the troll after a while to try to find some fish away from the crowds and landed a bunch more bass and blues.

Ended the day with a nice quick blitz casting into the breakers and landed 6 more bass.

The guys kept 4 bass, released 11 more and also released at least 15 big bluefish.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting our first of two Movember stiped bass trips. A great group joined CJ Walsh in an effort to raise a few bucks for prostate cancer research and we really lucked out with the fishing.

The guys landed 12 keepers and few dozen released fish before 7am on jigs. The jig bite was hot for us until about 8am when it slowed down some. Then by 9 we were having trouble getting them to bite.

Got on the troll and we continued to pick away on bass for the next 4 hours.

We had a few different numbers between the group but consensus was between 70 and 85 bass total, the vast majority caught on jigs. We hammered the blues as well and the guys took a few of them for the smoker.

Here's one that was released:
