Fishing Reports 2006

Just want to say thanks to all our customers for another great year. May you and your family have a great holiday and a happy new year.

Thanks again from the Outcast family.

December 29 - December 31, 2006

Blackfishing was very good today with Outcast Charters, and the anglers onboard hooked double their limits, keeping only their quotas, and a couple of the tog weighed 10 pounds, Capt. Joe said. Four of the fish pushed the scale down to 9 pounds, and the rest were 3 to 7 pounds. Another blackfishing charter Wednesday was a little slow, and paulie was high hook with eight blacks to about 6 pounds, and Eli was second with seven of the fish, and the rest of the anglers grabbed four or five apiece.

12-18-06

Today's blackfish trip was for Murphy and his crew. What a difference a Day makes with the fishing being really OK, but still needed to hit at least 6 drops ranging between 40 and 80 feet with each piece producing quality fish. Each drop gave up a decent amount of fish with no fish being no smaller than 3 pounds and bigger than 12 pounds. There was a few fish in the 10 pound range and 11 pound range, it is just totally amazing how that short life just dissipated. In one day. And the big slobs just turn on. That's why we love blackfish.

12-17-06

Today's blackfish trip was for Darryl and his crew. The morning started out with some short life, and a few keepers. We decided to take a move further south, and on that drop. We picked out some decent keepers, it seemed every piece that we hit that day. Only held a few fish, we had to do at least 8 drops, which is totally insane. We couldn't find one piece to give up a decent amount of fish. The fish ranged between 2 and 10 pounds. With the guys landing 21 keeper blackfish that day. It was one of our toughest trip of the blackfish season. That's the way it goes sometimes that's why they call it fishing. Darryl and the crew, are great guys. They'll be out next Saturday if the weather cooperates, and hopefully the fish are chewing like Thursday's trip.

12-16-06

Today's blackfish trip was for, Johnny oh, and his crew. What a difference a couple of days can make. With fish being picky, for no apparent reason. The conditions were great, but the fish just had an attitude problem, needed to hit quite a few drops that day, with a lot of short life on each piece, and also pulling out keeper blackfish on each piece. For some reason, the bigger fish just wouldn't take the bait. The fish ranged that day, between 3 pounds to 7 pounds. The guys manage to pull out 35 keeper blackfish. All the guys had a great time on the beautiful December day. You couldn't ask for a better day weatherwise.

12-14-06

Today's blackfish trip was for Pat and his crew, which was a four man charter. Today's fishing was great. We only needed to do 2 drops, with the charter limiting out with twice,Their limit, and only keeping their limit we started to to keep fish 4 pounds or better, these guys fishing today were on the money. Their ratio was phenomenal for every swaying. There was a fish, these guys were hot. All the fish ranged between 4 and 12 pounds, and there was, quite a few 8 pound fish landed that day with the rest of the fish between 4 and 6 pounds.

The guys were definitely happy with a catch that day.

With Dave, nailing his pool fish that was 12 pounds male blackfish it was impressive, all fish that day again will quality fish an the Guys again were only keeping fish bigger than 17 inches.

Overall the day was great, and the guys landed 31 quality fish.

11-26-2006

Scheduled blackfish trip for Johnny oh, and his crew. Didn't expect too much to happen with this trip after the nor-east thanks given blow. The role in the ocean was on that morning, with a four to six-foot role. We set up one piece in the morning and didn't even get a scratch, so we decided after 45 minutes to make a move. That drop was producing a pic of fish. So we decided to stick out for a while. When all said and done, the fish that came over the rail where all quality.by 11 o'clock. Some of the guys wanted to go back, because they were feeling a little green. The guys managed to land, about 28 fish that day.

11/20/2006

Today's blackfish trip was for the doctor and Billy 40, and guys. Unbelievable what a day makes. When we set the anchor. It only took 20 minutes to get them coming. Once we had them. It was drop and stick. The way the fishing was going. The guys decided to only keep fish. Over 17 inches or larger and they still managed to limit out with larger fish. Everybody on the boat had at least one fish over 7 pounds and a few fish nine and 10 pounds majority of the fish were 5 pounds and better on that trip. It was totally unbelievable that day, how the fish was walking away with the baits. It was Billy 40 first time out on the outcast and the doctors. Billy expression in the picture will tell it all. Billy and the guys said they'll be back in December. For those blackfish again.

11/19/2006

Today's blackfish trip was for Joe and the boys from Excelsior yacht club. This trip was getting a little tougher with fish not cooperating. The bite was really off that day, it was making it hard for the guys. Days like that. You just want to shoot your-self. The guys landed roughly 25 keeper blackfish ranging between two to 6 pounds. Overall, the guys had a great time and another good day on the water. Joe will be back this Sunday on another trip. Hopefully that trip, the bite will be a lot better. With the weather coming up this week. Who knows what it will bring.

11/18/2006

Today's blackfish trip was for Danny and crew. It was also their first time out with the outcast. Which they never really fish for blackfish before all they needed was a little coaching. And they were producing fish. The bite was a little tougher that day, but the guys manage to put 43 keeper blackfish in the boat. Not bad for these anglers for the first time. The fish ranged between three and 7 pounds. Danny and the crew said they'll be back in January, if weather cooperates.

11/15/2006

Today's blackfish trip was for Phil and boys. It was their first trip on the outcast. As soon as we set, the anchor. We had some life, after about 20 minutes or so the fish started to come. We had the fish all around the boat. It was drop and stick for a while. We had fish up to 9 pounds with the boat limiting out with six anglers. Once the guys had their limit, we decided to try to do some sea bass fishing in the deep, which was non-existent. Last year at this time, we were still catching the sea bass in the middle of November. For some reason, they moved off a little earlier. When we were finished filleting the fish, we were three shy of the limit due to a miscount. For Phil and the guys on their first time out. It was a great trip

11/11/2006

Today we had a trip for Anthony V. that we canceled due to the rain that they were calling for. They were talking about one to 3 inches of rain that never show up, they also were talking about winds gusting to 25 kn east to southeast winds that never showed either. We know better than to listen to the weather forecast. We made a mistake on our part.

6/10/2006

Today's trip was for Christian Murphy and the guys for black fish. The morning started out with a slow pick. So we decided to make a few moves by doing so it was only getting worse, instead of running around. We should've stayed put with the slow pick because a slow pick is better no pick. By the end of the day we boated 30 or more keeper black fish up to 7 pounds. Some days you just need to sit put and deal with the the slow points. Over-all, the guys had a great time.

11/05/2006

Today's trip was for Rollen and Chuck and friends. It was almost a carbon copy as of Saturday's trip. It was another tough day fishing for those blackfish. We also managed to pull in some nice sea bass in the mix, it was a pic of fish on each piece. By the end of the day the boat had landed in about 60 or more. Overall, it was a beautiful day, and the guys had a great time. Rollen friend said, he'll be back for those blackfish in December.

11/04/2006

Today's trip was for Ray from champion ink, and his brother Rick and friends. Today's first drop for blackfish started out good with ray nailing a 7 pound fish, as quick as the fish came, the fish turned off just as quick. We hit a few more drops in the area, and we picked a few fish off of each one, as the tide came on strong, then the fish shut off completely. We made a move to the south, to get outs of the current. That drop produced a steady pick for awhile. When all said and done, the guys managed to get their limit. The fish ranged between 2 1/2 and 4 pounds with an occasional bigger one. Ray and his crew said they'll be back in December for those blackfish.

11/01/2006

Today we had a black fish trip for Jimmy from the Staten Island ferry, and his two friends. There was no fooling around today for these guys. Once we put these guys on the drop.

The big fish of the day going to Jimmy that was 7 pounds all the fish ranged between three and 7 pounds when all said and done by the end the day.

So around 11 o'clock we decided to steam off to do some sea bass fishing, with the wind still cranking 25 to 30 kn that put a damper on our drifting conditions so we needed to anchor.

Tuna fishing at the triple zeros was really good. The guys went for 20 for 28 also landing 90 pounds sword. The fish all ranged between 40 and 80 pounds. The action came through at midnight to four in the morning. If we were able to keep the rods in the water without tangling we would landed a hell of a lot more fish. Once they came through, the chum slick then all hell broke out. When all said and done all the guys was shot.The fish preferred sardines and squid. We are hoping to still get out at least two more times depending on the weather.

September 17-18, 2006

Last week we had a charter for tuna. The trip was Sunday into Monday, the afternoon troll was in non-existing so we set up the anchor at the hundred square in about 600 feet of water. In about 45 minutes to one hour, we had some life around the boat. We managed to pull out some squid, we sent it down around 80 to 100 feet in about 30 minutes. We had tuna on. The guys ended up going 12 for 20. Not such a great ratio, but the guys were still happy. All the fish ranged between 60 to 80 pounds, and we also had a beautiful sight of a swordfish alongside the boat that had to be at least 13 to 14 feet, weighing probably 400 or more pounds. Outcast next trip will be Tuesday into Wednesday, depending on the conditions.

After that day, I wanted to go home and hang myself, with the 18 inch regulation. It's making it real hard for the charter guys and myself. Overall, the guys had a great time, and they know that we have no control over the size limit. With these guys, it's not about how many fish you catch in a day. It's about a great time on the water with the friends.

8/7/2006

Had a three man charter today, with Pete, Josh, and Dozer. Seabass fishing was tough in morning ,due to a very fast moving ebb tide, this was caused by the effects of the upcoming full moon. However things did pick up abit in the afternoon. We ended the day with 60 keeper seabass and a bunch of shorts. Things should pick up when we lose that hard ebb current.

7/30/2006

Today we took off from a charter to spend some quality time fishing with the family. I took out my brother Jeff and my nephew Robbie and my lovely wife, Lisa. It started out right away to be a great day. We made a few passes on the pieces, and we started to pick fish right away. It couldn't get any better then that. Also seeing the smile on my nephew's face. He six years old. And just getting started into fishing. He knows how to work the conventional real real well, but doesn't like to take pictures with fish yet as you'll see after. After catching a few fish, he went downstairs and put his head on the pillow. So that only left two people on deck. My wife Lisa and my brother Jeff to put a nice catch of fish together in a few hours. They pulled in 50 quality sea bass up to 2 1/2 pounds. Also in the mixed with some black fish that need to be released, and two nice size keeper flukes. Overall today was an excellent day for the time that we spent on the water.

So we went back to the Bay to do some bluefishing, and it was a steady pic of fish. Between 5 and 7 pounds. It turned out to be a great day for the boy and the family.

Friday, July 13 2006

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, went to Canada to visit some redneck relatives. Brought a few of the hooples back with me to do some fishin'. Adam was the shining star of the trip, managing to catch a good amount of stripers. Adam also caught the largest striper at 29 lbs and took the pool, although that was Canadian money so it really wasn't worth nothin'. But Huey is another story all together. He was fishing with so tight a drag on his stealth wire he must of thought he was stringin' his banjo. He was popping off more fish than the blackheads on his face. Then there was Gordie...he brought his famous Muskie rod but we renamed it THE MUSTY ROD. We figured the way he used the thing it must've been laying in his basement for three years because he was so damn clueless. I've heard of all the tall tales of great big Muskies being caught by these woodsmen, they must be using dymanite to raise these fish in the Saint John river because they sure as hell can't do it with a rod in their hand. Thanks for coming down guys, hope you enjoy the mule ride home. Love Joe and Lisa :)

7/5/2006 AM

Today we had a sea bass trip for Mike and the boys, we started off down south and the tide was screaming. We drifted a few pieces, and we were picking some nice sea bass. With the screaming current. It may tough conditions for the guys and the crew. So we decided to set the anchor by doing so, we were picking a handful of fish on each piece. Overall, we hit at least three pieces. And that was no great shakes either. When the tide to led up, we decided to hit and other area to drift. Later on in the day, and it produced some quality fish. Up to 3 pounds, we boated 70 nice keepers sea bass, and a lot of throwbacks to. Also there was some nice size ling that was boated. And some black fish mixed in that needed to be released.

Note: we are now running the open boat on Wednesday.

7/1/06

Decent fluke fishing today,we managed to catch our limits with fish up to 20 inches. There were also a good amount of shorts around, many between 16.5 and 17.5 inches. That's good for the Jersey boys but doesn't do us any good. Although today it didn't matter, but some days we could use those fish:)

6/24/06

Today we had a charter for sea bass for Mike and Frank and the guys, despite the weather. It turned out to be a great day weatherwise and catch wise. With the light winds. It made drifting conditions perfect. Our total catch up sea bass for the day was 95 fish up to 3 pounds. We decided to try a different area later on in the day that we anchored on and that produce some quality black fish up to 8 pounds that needed to be released. On light tackle the black fish was a lot of fun for the customers, despite the weather again. Thumbs up for the weather guys. If you listen to them, guys majority of the time you will be sitting at the dock.

Note: we are now sailing open boat for Wednesday, call for details.

6/21/06 AM

Today we had a split charter for Barbara and the guys. The morning, we started out striped bass fishing, and it produced quality fish. We landed 25 fish up to 30 pounds, and only keeping our limits.

Note: the Outcast will be offering open boat on Wednesday, please call for details.

Super bass fishing again, I do not now what the final tally was, after we caught our limit there was just to much chaos going on. Three or four on at at a time, if we could get the rods back in quick enough. Stripers ranged between 16 and 25lbs. We left the fish biting. Then we tried a little fluking in the bay, it sucked.

6/9/06 PM

OK bass fishing tonight,limited out by 8pm. Initially we caught the bass on the last half-hour of the incoming tide. We continued fishing through the slack tide, with good results.

Today we had a striper charter for rocky and boys. We had exellent striper fishing. The boys had ther limit within 1 hour time. Caught fish up to 28 LBS then we played catch and release for awhile. Then the boys called it a day.

This evening we had a striper charter for larry and friends. We fished in raritan bay. All customers limited out with fish up to 25 LBS.

Different day same results as yesterday, only difference being is that the fish were larger today. They ranged between 18 and 28lbs plus 2 in the 30 lb range. We ran out of 100 bunker, again too many bass to count.

May 20, 2006 - AM

The day started out just OK we picked just 7 bass to
17lbs plus about 15 blues to 10 lbs by 10 am. At that
point with the fishing a little slower than we have
become accustomed to lately, we decided to take a run to the east a bit. Boy did that pay big dividends,within
20 minutes bass to 23lbs were coming fast, at some
points three at time, with wind against tide some fish
were running to the bow going under the anchor
cable, we would have to walk the fish around, at one
point I said to myself what am I TUNA fishing. It was a
another good day.

Very fast fishing again had or limits within 1 hour,bass to 25lbs. Then we played catch and release for awhile, when the boys became arm weary we headed for the barn, which was around 10:30 AM.

May 16, 2006 - AM

Today we had a change of pace, blackfishing was on the menu and since we were weathered out on our previously scheduled trips I was chomping at the bit to see for myself what was going on with the bottom fishing,and it did not disappoint. By noon we had our limits of blacks to 8lbs.also in the mix were seabass to 2 1/2lbs and
porgies to 2lbs which were released. On the way home we stopped on some bass readings and began to hammer the bass,had our limits in a 1/2 hour fish to 34 lbs. Play catch and release for awhile do not no what the final tally was - too many to count.

May 15, 2006 - PM

Tonight started slow with the bass, we were catching mostly blues to 10lbs and three bass to 15lbs
for the first 1 1/2 hours.Then we decided to make
a move three miles to the east, the rods were bent right
away with bass to 20lbs. That continued for about 1
hour with very few bluefish in the mix. When the tide
went slack so did the lines. Although we had our limits
and then some, which were released, we wanted to see
what the outgoing tide would bring since we came off
the moon. We were glad we did,when the current picked
up steam, so did the fishing, rods were bending with 18
to 23lb bass.

Top notch striper fishing had our limits by 7:30 AM. Fishing stayed solid until 10:30.Then it seemed as if the fish had a case of lock jaw. We moved all over the bay to no avail. We also tryed live bunker at this point, with only a few run offs for or efforts. All in all it was still phenomenal fishing for 4 hours. Fish were between 15 to 23 lbs.

May 13, 2006 - PM

Repeat of our AM trip had our limits early then they shut off with the out going water. I believe this will change after the moon.

Exellent striper fishing tonite had our limits within two hours. Fish were between 15 and 28 lbs.With most in the 20 lb range. Fish bit on both tides with the larger fish coming on the ebb.

May 7, 2006

Striper was top-notch! Limited the boat out
early with Stripers averaging 15-20lbs. After
limiting out we played catch-and-release for a couple
more hours. We released Stripers up to 22lbs. Plenty
of Bluefish as well. All fish were caught on fresh
Bunker, fish bit on both tides.

Evening Striped Bass trip. Not too good on the
Stripers tonight. One keeper Bass. Loads and loads

to get to the bait!

April 24, 2006

Evening Striper trip. We had our limit of
Striped Bass to 20lbs. Most of the fish averaged
around 12lbs. Plenty of Blue Fish mixed in, Bunker
was the bait of choice.

Striped Bass fishing today. Just O.K. bass
fishing today. Two shy of our limit. One weighed in
at 24 lbs., another weighed in at 27 lbs. Those were
the two largest fish of the day. We fished the Great
Kills area with Bunker chunks.

April 12, 2006

We went flounder fishing today and had 26
flounder up to 2.5 lbs. Not bad for three people. We
fished Roma under tough conditions, southerly winds
blowing around 25 knots. Fish seemed to prefer
Mussells for bait.
