The 2011 Season Has Begun!

Flashback to December: The Sea Sprite , always en vogue, wearing a yellow mustache and more than a few barnacles. Telltale signs of a long season on the Sound. 2010 was a banner year for bookings, leaving little to no time to scrub the hull between trips with a toothbrush... as Capt. Pete usually has me do.

Into the Cedar Island Salon for a makeover.

Cedar Island Salon's receptionist sweeps the floor while the Sea Sprite gets exfoliated.

Dock and sinker scars botoxed. Don't worry, its not load bearing....

Removed the built in cooler. It was no longer cool, actually quite worn out.

Replaced with more storage and a cutting board counter top.

Yellow mustache removed, and replaced with a new high dollar Awlgrip complexion. Back to the water.

Ready to go to home to Old Saybrook.

And now we fish in the rain....

The Fishy Smell of Spring

The Sea Sprite vacationing in the exclusive Cedar Island Marina Resort and Tennis Club in Clinton: Playground of the stars.

I arrived back here from Austin just a few days ago. Once again, the call of the Sea Sprite and our loyal customers has torn me away from the throngs of Texan women I bath myself in every winter. It is now time to sorta help Capt. Pete get the Sprite ready for another long season on the Sound. Our 34th season to be exact. She goes in the water tomorrow and we cruse her to Old Saybrook this weekend. Next week...time to fish. Look forward to seeing everyone!

Capt. Pete on Twitter

Celebrities around the world have been using the social networking tool "twitter" to update their fans on the very important minute by minute activities of their celebrity lifestyles. That being said, it was just a matter of time before our favorite celebrity, Capt. Pete, would be forced to do the same by his ever growing, tech savvy fan base. So without further adieu, I present Capt. Pete on twitter. Enjoy.

DJ Pete Jigs Properly

This video was shot by Roberto, an actual Puerto Rican. He recognizes rhythm and bluefish...but will not eat them.

This is the second how-to video I have posted on the blog. The first featured male model "Cliff". Due to his technique taking a nose dive during recent trips, I am afraid he has been replaced. Our new jigging technique spokesperson is now DJ Pete. His credentials being:

1. He is an actual DJ. Its his full time job.
2. He surrounds himself exclusivly with Puerto Ricans, if not to just get that much closer to his hero, Gloria Estefan.
3. He catches fish, and can tell you exactly how many.

Thanks Kevin and Stellers Garage

August/September

Scott's face was stuck like that for the rest of the trip.

If you missed out fishing with us this August, then you missed some of the, if not the best, fishing of the season. It was incredible. August 2009=little to no blue fish+plentiful big bass. August without bluefish you ask? yes its true. I don't know where they were, but not around us. That left the hooks undisturbed for some serious big bass action aboard the Sea Sprite.

This is Scott's twin brother. he was able to keep his cool. Note they have the same taste in high fashion purple head-gear.

Frank looking kinda shy towards his big bass's romantic advancements.

While Bill and myself look rather excited for some reason.

Myself doing my best impression of an orange condom holding a knife...yee, thats not a good combo.

The voice from above.

Fred with the big one.

Long overdue photos: May, June, July, August

4 months into the season already...that is incredible. What's more incredible is how lazy I have been with updating this blog. I apologize....its the economy...my computer is gas powered. Very expensive.

To start I will say that 2009 has been the best year in recent memories for striper fishing. We have been slamming them every trip. It's very nice to see, and long awaited. We have also seen a great abundance of 27 and a half inch fish. This is good for 2 reasons. 1. I get to throw them back while the customer cries. 2. there will be even more 28" fish for upcoming seasons. We have also recently caught a couple of 50+ pounders. These fish are massive! Unfortunatly I don't have any pictures, so you will have to take my word for it.

The Stillman trip. They have been waiting their whole lives to be this famouse. Your on the blog guys!

Not a bad day. A great crew, showing perfect form with those double bass bicept curls. A very popular excercise. We limited out in 1 hour and spent the rest of the trip doing reps.

Doormat for dinner. Caught on the bucktale!

4 keepers at once. See what happens when you count to 5 guys?

This is one of our favorite new customers, Wilson from Brasil. After this picture he proceded in hugging the fish and playing it like a guitar. Brilliant.

DJ Sal and some illigal activity.
