Spring Striper Fishing on the Sprite

1st mate Jon Wheeler and Sal of Dobbs Ferry NY display a classic spring striper caught last week.

Our old girl "The Sea Sprite" now ventures into her 25th season with us, and she has never looked better.  Captain Pete has been camped out at the boat yard with no company but a space heater and AM radio all winter readying her for yet another 300 trip, 2400 hr season.  

Now into our first week the spring fishing is in full swing and the bookings are coming in quickly.  We have welcomed back some of our long time customers with some successful stripe bassing including the 40 pounder pictured above.  The weather has been comfortable, and the fishing is good, and so is business.  What more can you ask for...well $2.00 a gallon diesel would be nice...but that went out of style 2 years ago.
