Saturday morning, we fished East of our inlet on the edge of the mud hole. It was just a pick for the first half of the morning, then it died out when the wind came on. We had good readings, however, the fish did not want to cooperate or bite well. Our pool winner was John Dertouzos from Hamilton, NJ with a 15 lb blue.

Sunday morning, we fished North of our inlet with super results on Ava 27’s and crocodiles. We had 30-40 minute drifts with plenty of readings and fish were stacked on the bottom and up off the bottom 20’. We were able to carry the fish at times with the blues stacked up under the boat. We also caught a 30 striper, a 15 lb cod and a 30 lb cod! Overall, it was a super fall day of angling for jumbo blues! Our pool winner was Nestor Alconga from Bowie, MD with a 30 lb striper!

Did someone move the Mud Hole? On my charts, it's still more than 3 miles off the beach......much more. Did the cod move in toward the beach? That's quite a catch......big cod and big stripers less than 3 miles off! Did the regs change? I know you're a sponsor but I think someone's got some 'spainin' to do.

Seriously! Just possession of that striper outside of 3 miles is illegal and subject to a fine. I find it hard to believe that the striper in the pictures was caught inside 3 miles not to mention the rest of the blues. The fact that the boat is a sponsor raises some issues. I'm sure someone else has asked the question about where the fish was caught. As for supporting a sponsor who has brought his integrity into question, I, for one, need more assurance that it didn't happen before I'll give him my business. If there is any substance to the indiscretion of the sponsor, then I have to ask whether this website will continue to promote his business. Ethical fishing practices should be a top priority for boat owners, mates, fishermen and women, and those who rely on fishing for their livelihood.

For those of you who need to question and make false accusations, we ended up starting out North East of our inlet in the mud hole which is where the cod fish was caught. The blue fishing was no good so we moved up to the North to the mud where we picked away at good shots of the big blues before it died out. At the end of the day we ended up going in on the rocks, which is inside of 3 miles, where we caught more big blues and the 30 lb striper. For those of you who need to talk bad about my business, you need to do like Gerry said, be a man and post your name and number and not hide behind a name so everyone knows who you are. Your supposed to be an Ambassador? You should be the one removed from this site for making false accusations about my business. We have been in business for 75 years and there have been many days where we have caught lots of stripers more than 3 miles off and have released them every time. If you were a customer on our boat you would know that.

It would have done a lot for your integrity if you had called the captain who ran the boat or the owner to confirm where the striper was caught and if was legal to keep before posting such an acusatory post. You were reading a weekend update of both Saturday and Sunday trips. The cod were caught offshore on Saturday and the striper on Sunday after they headed NORTH of the inlet. I was sent a picture of the striper shortly after it was caught and by the buildings in the background it was well within the 3 mile limit. It does neither a business or someone who posts something like this no good to accuse someone of something wrong when it did not happen. Get the truth first then make any and all comments you feel are needed. By the responses so far I hope you will have the integrity to respond with an apology to both the captain and owner of the boat. Even then there are still people who want to believe only the negative and with that in mind you have, to some point, damaged the reputation of both the captain and owner to which that apology bocomes that much more evident in it's necessity.
