> We had Steve and Paul out today on the **Hallie Loren** for a dedicated shark trip. The ocean was absolutely beautiful, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.
> The action started with a big Thresher that rolled on the surface and made the reel scream! Unfortunately, shortly after the run, the main line parted way—clean break, almost like it was cut on something.
> Not long after, bite number two came a-knocking. It took a nice chunk of line but ended up spitting the hook before we could...

get eyes on it.
> The grand finale was a beautiful Mako. We watched it circle the slick for a while before it finally crashed the short line. We got it boat-side, used the dehooker for a clean, safe release, and watched it swim away strong.

Started our 2026 season this past weekend. Friday was a tough day for us, only landing one fish despite some good readings. Saturday morning was a completely different story. Lock and load fishing all morning with fish being caught on jygprofishing chubbys, swyms, and plugs. Silly silly fishing well over 100 fish up to 28 pounds. We have availability coming up.

Striped bass fishing remains solid. We are seeing average catches of 30-65 fish per trip with a mix of short, keepers, and overs coming into the boat. We hope to get another week or two out of the striper fishing, as there are still plenty of fish to the east of us. We are also blackfishing as well and will continue to target them right up until the New Year before concluding our season.

Bass fishing has been amazing with a ton of slots around. The show the Giant Bluefin have been putting on has been straight out of Nat Geo. We have not been targeting them as the recreation season is still closed.

The ocean was calling, and Andrew and his crew answered, ready to chase their new personal bests. The fluke fishing was on fire, with the guys reeling in one beauty after another. But the real adrenaline rush came when Andrew's rod doubled over—a telltale sign of a true trophy. "This is a good one!" he yelled, and the battle began. Our mate, Rich, was on standby, net in hand, ready for the big moment. After a skillful fight, the prize was landed—a magnificent 7-pound fluke!

This is more than just a fishing trip; it's a chance to make epic memories and land the catch of a lifetime.

Fluke Trip Report On our recent fluke trip, the action was nonstop! We had a great mix of experienced anglers and complete beginners on board, and everyone got in on the fun. The rods were bent all day long, with plenty of reeling to go around. We landed a good number of keepers and safely released many shorts to be caught another day. When the bite slowed down in one spot, we didn't wait around. We quickly moved to new, productive locations, and that strategy paid off in a big way. By the end of the day, we had 13...

The rods were bent all day long, with plenty of reeling to go around. We landed a good number of keepers and safely released many shorts to be caught another day. When the bite slowed down in one spot, we didn't wait around. We quickly moved to new, productive locations, and that strategy paid off in a big way. By the end of the day, we had 13 keeper fluke in the box, including a doormats that weighed up to six pounds. Back at the marina, our mate Rich provided top-notch service, expertly filleting and bagging everyone's catch and putting it on ice. All you had to do was grab your bag and head home to cook up a delicious dinner. We're more than a charter boat; we're a fishing adventure waiting to happen.

    Captain Michael was fantastic—knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about fishing. He put us on the fish right away and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. The boat was clean and comfortable, and his experience really showed. Highly recommend booking a trip with him!
