What an amazing day yesterday for Capt Jim as he had out Aaron John and George from PA one that they won't forget for a very long time. We started out in the bay but had no bites by 8:30am on the bunker that we got with the help from and he was feeling the pressure because these guys drove for 3 hours and got a hotel room and he really wanted to put them on fish. So Capt Jim called an audible and headed outside to the Land of the Giants and it was the right call. The Pa boys went 4/5 even after getting out there late. It was quite a morning to remember! Capt Jim has Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday May 26th 27th and 28th open next week for these giant bass charters. He will be eeling, casting plugs, and even fly fishing you can do all three on the same charter! Give him a call or text if you want to take one of the dates or get on his open boat list 732-762-0870 asap.

We’re barely two months into the striper season in the Northeast and it’s already clear: the hot lure of 2026 is the glidebait. We've asked several big glide bait guys what rods they use for throwing these giant-catchers.
