I fished with Anthony DeBlasio and Mark Epstein. We worked hard at plugging and fishing with bait but came up short, literally. Here is Anthony with one of the fish we caught today. This little bass hit a big wooden plug about half it's size. We had a few others but nothing big. Little fish is a sign of things slowing down. The weather has been lousy all week and that might have something to do with it. The water temperature is still warm at 63 degrees. I think we might still have a shot at some fish but it is all a question mark right now. Anthony and Mark cast plugs till their arms were weary. It was a tough day but better than a day at work, at least for them. For me it was just tough but we did have a good time. Thanks guys for your patience.

I fished today with Mark and Noah Lessing (right to left). We had a good day of fishing on a beautiful November day. We caught a few nice bass up to 25 pounds and dropped a few more. Bait was tough to get but we managed and it was worth the time and effort because good bait caught the fish. We all had a good time today.
Plugging action was slow today but as the water cleans up some more after that storm it should get very good. Now is the time the bass will all move toward the inlet and plugging should become excellent.
I have a couple of days open between now and the 21st when I am calling it a season. If you are interested then send me an email.

I need your help.
Ray Bartlett of The UPS store in Babylon Village was kind enough to enlarge some images from our website and make a banner that we used to decorate the Riverview restaurant with. While packing up after the tournament I noticed the poster of Al was missing then the skimmeroutdoors banner went missing. I know many of you had a great time during the awards ceremony and dinner and if by chance someone may know who may have accidentally or intentionally taken these items please have them drop them off the the Riverview or contact me by email tim@skimmeroutdoors.com. Thanks for your help.

I fished today with Marc Cacchiola and his buddy Tony. We had a pretty good day of bass fishing with live bait. We dropped a couple but we caught a few. All about 20 pounds but a good fish spit the bait near the boat. The weather was real nice and we had a good day of fishing.

Rita Helgans and family celebrating their first place Bass caught in the Ryant Enterprises Tournament. This years Tournament was dedicated to Herb Helgans who has recently passed so it was fitting that Herb's wife caught the winning Striped Bass weighing in at 23.6 lbs. $1100.00 was raised through raffles and was donated to the American Heart Association in Herb's Name.
Once again thanks to Larry Rubin for hosting a great party.

I fished the 16th Annual Ryant Enterprises fishing tournament. Team Skimmeroutdoors consisted of myself Mike Beltrami Mike Mcgrath and Anthony DeBlasio.
Despite spending two days catching live bait for the tournament all of the Bass where caught on plugs by Anthony DeBlasio who only had two hours of sleep. This 19 pound Striper placed 5th in the contest and it in not for Anthony we would have been fish-less for the day.

I fished today with Steve and Barry left to right. We had a good day fishing live bait and plugging for striped bass. We caught on both plugs and bait. The fish were pretty good in the mid 20's and fought pretty well. It was a brisk day but beautiful. The crew had a good time and I enjoyed fishing with them. Another good day on the water.

We fished with Captain Mike Neto out of Point Judith Rhode Island. Mike brought Rich and Andy to a incredible Blackfish spot just South of Newport Harbor. There was nonstop Tautog action from the drop of the first line with fish to 10 lbs.. This will be a great episode of the North East Angling TV Show.
