Wow November came in with a bang. The cold snap has really turned on the bite.Phil booked a trip in the PM for him and his friends. We found birds working straight out of the gate. The fish were up and down quick. But we stayed at it and caught a couple. The birds were moving fast and as the afternoon went on the fish seem to get hungrier! There were lots of boats around chasing the schools. We found some good marks and stayed at it after the other boats left. Sure enough wham fish on. A nice 28 incher in the boat. It was an almost perfect drift. We were moving with the school of fish. With no other boats on them. We made 2 long drifts and we’re reward with some nice fat fall Stripers. We ended with a 5 man limit of 10 fish with 5 of them 26 to 30 inches. We were still catching and releasing them when we called it a night. All this with light tackle rods and lures. The time is now. Don’t be left wishing let’s get fishing!
Well I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend for Labor Day. I sure did.We fished Saturday and both am and pm trips saw first time boaters and fishers. The cool nights and full moon sure had things messed up for the weekend but we made the best of it. Saturday am we saw few Mackerel but no Bluefish wiling to play. We split the trip and went to bottom fishing with some nice catches of spot and a few hardheads(still under size). But boy did we get a surprise with a couple of just under size flounder. They are 1 of my favorites that we don't see much of around anymore. They are tryin to make a come back tho. I think that makes 4 for this year so far. Saturday pm was a better with Spanish Mackerel and some bluefish feeling hungry. Still wasn't a really good bite like I like to have tho. But that was ok because I already had some bottom fishing planned as Jie had his 3yr. old son on his first boat ride and fishing trip. We want kids to enjoy fishing so we always prepare to bottom fish. It allows them to catch and not be bored. The fun is what we want them to remember. Fun it was they were non stop catching and Mason was steady laughing. They took home some nice fish for diner also. Well the heat is back this week. then a cool down again. This heat will turn on the blues and Mackerel. I am not sure how much longer they will stay after that hopefully awhile. Once they thin out we will target Stripers primarily also with some bottom fishing mixed in. Fall is knocking on the door and it is 1 of my favorite times to fish. It is a good time to learn light tackle jigging. As the fish school up and feed heavy. Don't be wishing book a trip and lets get fishing!

What an amazing experience. Inclusive for the whole family and so much fun and relaxing. Captain Rich went above and beyond, despite the cold November conditions, to make this a perfect fishing adventure! We caught plenty of nice fish and watching our son learning from Captain Rich was just awesome. So many great memories made, we would definitely love to do this again!

Our trip today was fantastic! The Captain worked with the boys to ensure the best fishing experience possible and kept our safety a priority due to a fast moving storm. Thank you!!! Can’t wait to go again

Capt. Richie was awesome. We took my 7 year old son for his first fishing trip and needless to say he’s hooked! Capt. worked with him and explained everything and anything a 7 year can come up with to ask. We will be repeat customers for sure. Thanks for making this a Father’s Day to remember Richie

Capt. Richie took us out today and we had an absolute blast. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and just an all around great guy to hang out with. He put us on a limit today and the biggest one was 29.5 inches all on light tackle jigging. My wife and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary and we will be sure to fish with Nauti Hooker Charters again.
