Fuel Surcharge Policy
A fuel surcharge will be in place when marine fuel is above $5 per gallon. When it rises above $6 per gallon there will be another level of surcharge. If fuel is below $5 per gallon there is no surcharge added. We do this to keep the costs down and reasonable instead of a high flat rate or simply raising our rates. The surcharge will be applied the day of the trip, not the day you book. Regardless, you can always look here to see approximately where the costs are sitting.

Picture
The squid run starts in early May and runs through June. We typically stop fishing for squid once the tuna show up. Sometimes we see a day bite but the night bite is when it really happens,
Picture
Fluke show right behind the squid in May and picks up in June right through the summer.
Picture
RI is the place to come catch world class striped bass June-October. This fish was over 50 pounds. We only fish for striped bass by casting artificial baits on light spinning gear. Anyone can do it!

Picture
Albies... small tunas inshore. Its a blast! These speedsters show up in the early fall. We also see Green Bonito around with these guys and they are incredible table fare! Sashimi anyone?
Picture
Seabass! We love 'em, kids love 'em, and you will love 'em! We see some real nice ones up to 4 pounds too! And they fight and taste great! They show up with the squid as well.
Picture
Sharking is a closer to shore offshore trip typically with lots of action. Makos, threshers, bluesharks, hammerheads, white sharks and a few more species we see commonly in the area and not incredibly far from shore. This theresher tipped the scales at over 300 pounds.
Picture
Mahi mahi or dolphin show up in late July when the water reaches the 70 degree mark. These things are an absolute blast to catch on light tackle and are great to eat. Set the hook and watch the acrobatics.
Picture
Wahoo or wahooooooooooo! One of the fastest fish in the ocean with razor sharp teeth and one of the best eating fish you can put on the deck. These guys travel in packs and like warm clean water.
Picture
Yellowfin tuna we see in the Northeast as early as mid June in the canyons. Late season they typically move inshore as well and we can target them on jig and pop gear a little easier.
Picture
Bluefin tuna we will see as early as May and as late as December. Incredible fighting power and your typical "sushi" fish. We find these fish from 1 to 100 miles offshore and from 10 to 1000+ pounds. This one here is approximately 250 pounds and was caught on a Chatter Lures jig.
Picture
The longfin tuna, albacore or "penguin" as some call them are found out near the flats and into the canyons. These fish typically are schooled up so when we get tight on one, we usually have a few on or can target them for a good amount of time. Great for the table too!
Picture
The big eye tuna or eyeball is a tuna species we only find in the canyons. These fish are big, mean and great eating! We usually target these fish by trolling diving lures and spreader bars and many times we get multiple fish on at a time.
Picture
Swordfish are a canyon fish staying at depths around 1500 feet during the day and coming up to the surface at night. These fish can be targeted by a tactic called "daytime deep dropping" with electric reels.
Picture
The golden tile fish is found on the canyon walls in typically 500-1000 feet of water. We have rods and reels specifically set up to target these fish that live in burrows on the muddy bottoms. Usually once you get on them you can catch a bunch. They make a great option at the edge if the tunas are not biting. Best of all s they are excellent for the table!
