Did another commercial trip from Montauk today , it’s definitely NOT over!!! After an exploratory drop in 85’ that yielded a few keepers and a swarm of c bass it was back to Old Reliable , 1 hour commercial limit for 3 guys , more like 2 guys truth be told. Nice run of fish with around a 4:1 keeper to short ratio, 3 over 8 and another 10 over 5. Half whites with all claws and legs.

Old school approach in the hands of a skilled angler works wonders!
Well done, Kona.

Had a short window with 8 oz , lighter set up was a treat. Larger fish chewed when tide started moving , went 10-12-14 in 15 minutes.

Well I’m glad our capt cancelled. Cold and North wind at 20 gusting 30…no thanks!
Took the decent weekend weather and got her fluids changed, everything removed, power washed and buttoned up. She will need a deep cleaning in the spring.

If the weather cooperates you should be able to catch some really big Sea Bass on the offshore wrecks, maybe even a Cod!
Good luck if you go!

Ditto the deep water wreck trip. Usually very productive.

Wise choice on the part of the Capt.

You had some great trips this year, Matt so relax, enjoy the family time for the holidays, and start dreaming of all the fish you will catch in '26. I have a feeling you will find a few more fish related gifts under the tree in your house!!😀
