September of last year I took Tyler on what turned out to be an epic trip to Montauk NY.  8 hours of none stop action ever day.  He got so tired of fighting fish he started casting tuna rods. #erickulinphotography  #snapshotcharters  #saltywatertackle

September trip to Montauk with Tyler – 8 hours of constant action each day.

Today in Boston Harbor, the waters were alive with activity. Setting out early, the cool morning air hinted at a promising day of fishing ahead. As we navigated through the harbor, the skyline of the city provided a stunning backdrop to our angling adventure.

The fishing conditions were optimal, with calm waters and just the right amount of breeze. Dropping anchor at some of our favorite spots near the Harbor Islands, we wasted no time in casting our lines. Almost immediately, the reels began to sing with the excitement of bites.

Striped bass seemed to be abundant today, eagerly striking our lures and providing thrilling battles as we reeled them in. Alongside the bass, we also had success with bluefish, their shimmering scales reflecting the sunlight as they danced at the end of our lines.

Throughout the day, we moved between different locations, each offering its own unique charm and bounty. Whether it was the bustling activity near Long Island or the peaceful serenity near Spectacle Island, every spot held the promise of a memorable catch.
