Ran 2 charters today - just a tad windy and cold.

In the morning, I had return clients Nick Cardone & family on a 5hr striped bass charter. We worked the beach to find birds and bait, but not much in terms of striped bass action - missed one fish. Switched to tautog with some time remaining and released over 25 shorts - keeping one 18 inch for the table.

Next, I had return clients Michael Futterman and his two boys on a 5hr striped bass - turned tog charter due to the morning non-existent striper bite. We made a little run to some snaggy pieces. The boys did a great job working through 25+ shorts to put 6 keepers to 9 pounds in the box. We did release one between 10 to 11 pounds via BOGA. Jakob had the hot hand today - nice to see kids who've been out with me since elementary school now in high school!!!

Tough day all around, especially on the striped bass front!

Most of our remaining trips will be targeting tautog - only about a month left in our season before we pull the plug on 2025.
