Memorial Day Fishing Report

Got started late with extremely heavy rain and wind (should have expected it, with you know who on board). Got to the bass grounds at the change of tide with no hope of any bass then 10 year old Frankie hook up and boxed a 31" bass. That was it for the bass then off we went fluking. Rode about 30 minutes to a spot off Coney Island with very clear water. Tornado Pete got the first throwback that measured 19"s and off it went. Antoinette, Roger and Mr. October all caught fish that should have been box but were returned to their natural habitat. The hot rod of the day was Frankie who bagged a 26" and a 22" and also Evz added a 21"er. The day turned out to be one of the best days on the water thanks to Paradise Pete. And yes we are going to do it all again next Sunday if not sooner. Capt. is sailing 7 days a week. So give him a call at 201-650-9768 to book a trip.   The Pioneer III Roving Reporter

Pioneer III Fishing Report

Sorry everyone, can't seem to get on the Pioneer III website. Started out on time and headed to bass grounds. Slow start with lot of laughs. The Sunday legendary crew were on board with Jimmy Garner managing to get the cooler dirty with the first bass of the day. Next up was Big Tom Anderson with a fat 16 lber. by the way Tom finally loosened his drag. Out of the blue Mr. October hooked up and boxed a big money bass that hit the 20 lb. category. Finally Roger brought in a keeper and with the wind blowing hard the Capt. called it quits and off we went. There were 2 hardy girls on board today. RK, NYC and Evz. And yes we are going to do it all again Monday.   The Pioneer III Roving Reporter

Pioneer III Fishing Report 5-22-2011

Started off with overcast sky, dark, chilly and dank for the rest of the day. Slow pick of bass with Mr. October getting the first keeper and also limiting. Other limits were Roger and Evz. Jimmy Garner and Rebecca had one each. We caught Rebecca taking a short nap as she almost fell off the cooler she was sitting on. The big money went to Evz and off to the mall she will go. The only hardy boy of the day was Big Tom Anderson of Jersey City, NJ and he is the largest hardy boy so far this year. And yes we are going to do it all again next Sunday and maybe Monday (Memorial Day). Any one interested in Monday trip contact Capt. Andy as he has a couple of spots open.

Pioneer III Fishing Report 5-15-2011

Weatherman hit it right on the head. Torrential downpours and we got that, dense fog and we got that. Started off looking for bass with the legendary Sunday crew. Consisting of Mr. October, Roger, Big Tom, Rebecca and Evz. 1st fish on went to Big Tom, very very very large fish that was lost at the boat because of the tightest drag setting possible on his reel. Therefore Capt. Andy bestowed the first Angler Error Award ever given on the Pioneer III. To say it nicely. Then Mr. October bagged an exactor and Evz boxed a keeper. Roger had the limit today and we had our first Hardy Girl of the season, yes it was Rebecca K of NY City. And yes we are going to do it all again next with the full legendary Sunday crew.

Pioneer III Fishing Report 5-8-2011

Started off looking for some fluke. Very slow with the first 4 or 5 drifts producing a few shorts. Then the first keeper of the 2011 season was bagged by none other than Evz. Wonder what took her so long ? Gave up on the fluke and went for the bass. After anchoring up big Tom Anderson, Roger and Evz managed to boat some tog that was quickly returned to their natural habitat. Then Evz along with Capt. Andy boated keeper bass. It was Mr. October's turn and he along with Evz assistance with net landed a 5.5 fluke caught on a whole clam. The tide and the wind quit and we decided to go home and watch the Yankee's.
Keep in mind the Pioneer III will be sailing 7 days a week, so give him a call @ 201-650-9768 or check out his website. http://www.pioneer-charters.com/

APRIL 24, 2011

Started off on time with Mr. October, Roger, Big Tom Anderson and Evz. First 2 hrs. we fished Gravesend Bay and it was like a grave on 1 barely legal flounder caught by Big Tom. Moved off a little offshore and anchored up. Slow start the Big Tom started it off, he had 4 keepers, Roger had 4, Evz had 1 and the Capt. had 1 when it was all over. Photos attached. Mr. October will be remembered as the first hardy boy for the 2011 season, not even a bite in the flounder category. Heading towards home we stopped for a shot at the stripers Evz quickly limited and Big Tom took the big bucks with his.

 

MAY 1, 2011

On board today we had Big John Parotta, Big Tom Anderson, Jimmy Garner, Mr. October, Roger and Evz. Even though today was the opening day of fluke the Capt. decided to try for bass because the Saturday trip was very good. Happy Evz was on board as she bagged 2 keepers right off bat and that's all she wrote in the keeper bass category. A couple of short bass by Big John and Mr. October were returned to their natural habitat. Off to the fluke grounds and again Evz bagged 2 short fluke and they were also returned to their natural habitat. Tried a few more spots and nothing happened. Capt. Andy caught Big Tom snoozing in the cabin and decided to call it a day. It can only get better.
