We have been doing a little bit of everything as of late with fish being caught from Fluke to Porgies to Bluefish. Fluke Fishing remains steady with lots of action with a few keeper fish mixed into the bunch. Porgies Fishing has been strong on points to the east with several nice fish in the 2 lb class coming over the rail. Blues are starting to settle into the reefs in the deeper water. We have several options this time of year so give us a call to get out there in some of the action. Hope to see you on the boat. Capt Andrew Fox

Fishing is pretty much wide open right now with the fish of choice being the Striped Bass! Fish up to 30lbs so far. Several quality fish being caught each trip both trolling and bait fishing. For those of you Bluefish fans ...they are chewing as well with some real nice 10 lb+ fish. Porgy Fishing will start up in a couple weeks so get ready for some of that as it's showing great signs of being another great season!
We'll see you on the boat!

Bluefish Tournament Results
August 29th and 30th 2009
Today Mike, Gary and Matt all from Brewster, NY fished in hopes to catch the 25,000.00 Fish in the tournament. It was a very rough morning with rain and very unfavorable conditions but we got our plan together and started catching good fish about an hour in. All in all we caught over 30 (8-11 lb Blues) and brought back around 15 or so. We weighed in our biggest fish of 11.66lbs at Hudson Park Bait and Tackle where we took the lead for that day for their port prize.
The next morning on Sunday we were still leading at 10am for that weigh station's heaviest fish but we got beat out later in the day at the end. The second day was another day of bigger fish with over 20 fish caught in the 8-10lb class just none that we were looking for. We had a good time and the weather cooperated much better on Sunday. The big fish are here so get out there and book a trip for some great fall fishing here in the Western Long Island Sound.
Plenty of Prime dates still availible!
August 26, 2009
Today Dave, Bobby, Patsy, and Joe were on with a nice finish at the whistle! All the bigger 8-10lb fish and a lot of laughs. Great time guys and enjoy the meat! The bigger fish are now around so get out here and catch em up before the snow shovels come out!

Today we fished with Ken and Darla from Newtown, CT. Last fall they won a Free Full Day Charter aboard the Magic Touch that we donated to the "It's my Heart Foundation" for children born with Congenital Heart Defects.
It was a beautiful day out there and the fishing really turned on around the top of the tide. Darla put this nice 17lb Striper in the boat that measured 36'' or so. Nice job! Striped Bass was the target today and she also boated another nice 33'' fish.
The fishing was a bit slow early in the day and things came together nicely after we changed spots a couple times and the tidal stage improved. They also put 10 Blue Fish over the rail, two of which were well over 10 lbs. Thank you both very much again and thanks again on behalf of the organization. It was a pleasure fishing with you both.
These Striped Bass are still around in good numbers so give us a call... we still have some prime dates for the 4th of July weekend available.

Today aboard the Magic Touch with Had Marshall Renn along with his daughter, son-in-law, and Grandson. It was a pretty slow day out there and although we found the fish we couldn't get them to bite like we wanted to. We had a couple really nice short runs and a nice 10lb Bluefish. It was a pleasure to have you guys. Sorry the fishing wasn't a bit better.

Today we fished the afternoon until dark with Matt, Andrew, and Jimmy. It rained most of the trip and it was pretty slow going until almost dark. We caught and released 8 Blues and Matt caught the one and only Striped Bass. It just made the mark at 29.5 inches. Enjoy those filets Matt.

Today the boys came back out from last year to see if they could top their previous trip. These boys got it done last year with 55 Blues in just a couple hours. We never managed to find that big pile we were looking for but we managed to put several nicer sized blues in the box. We had a good day and the guys gave it everything. Thanks again guys and we'll see you later in the season hopefully.

Today we fished the outgoing tide from noon until 5pm. With us today we had Robert Koenigsberger along with his father Stan all the way from California and Dave Gilbert who you see above holding the Striped Bass. His 1st one so we quickly took a picture and safely released it back to grow bigger.
These guys also caught 10 nice bluefish on an assortment of rigs. All fish were released today back into the Western Long Island Sound to be caught another day. Great job guys. I hope you had a good trip and it cleared up some things that you wanted to get more information on.
Don't worry Stan, you will get that big one out there with Robert before you head back to California and I want to know when you do. Stay in touch guys!

Good day out there today and some really nice Blues. 20 was the magic number today as we fished from 9am-1pm. There are a lot of fish around and a lot of bait to keep them here. No Striped Bass today however. What a great day it was out there. We had several doubles. Bass are still being caught just now you have to seperate your approach. A nice 54lb Striper was caught yesterday right close by. I saw the picture this morning at Hudson Park Bait and Tackle. The fish are here and if you are not out there trying you will not catch these fish! We still have some prime dates for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend but it's filling up fast!

What a pretty day out there I must say. Left the dock at noon and fished the top of the tide for only two hits; one taking a pretty good run. Moved spots and found the fish!
The fish above measured 36 inches and weighed in right around 16lbs. Kenny Eastwood from New Milford, CT had fun reeling it in. He also caught another Striped Bass that measured just above the legal limit at 29 1/2 inches. On a seperate note... the BLUEFISH HAVE ARRIVED!
In between trying to switch gears from Bass to Blues we managed to put 8 Blues in the boat nice 3-5 pound class fish! This is shaping up to be great season by the ammount of Bass I am seeing around being caught and the arrival of the Blues always makes it a fun experience. Get your prime dates now booked before the Bass run ends.

Fished the incoming tide from 7pm-Midnight. Pretty night out there with some decent action starting. This was the 1st Trip of the 2009 season for the Magic Touch and we accomplished our goal; put a very nice fish in the boat and check out the boat! All systems are up and ready to go for 2009 so get those dates picked out and give Capt Andrew a call. The reports are getting better and better by the day so don't miss the Spring Bass run. The fish above measured 36". A really nice fish that taste really good.

Today was another great day out there on the Long Island Sound. Paul, Craig and Sean Ames were joined by their relatives; Tim from Messina, NY and George from Burlington, VT.
We were able to find a pretty nice pile of fish early in the day to put a few in the box and then mixed up the rest of the day with some wire line trolling and jigging when the time called for it. We ended the day with 25 good sized Bluefish in the box that the boys tell me taste really good on the grill. I had a great day guys and thank you again very much for your generosity. Hope you guys had a trip to remember. Have fun tonight boys and guys have a safe trip back north when you guys leave town.
As you can see the Blues are chewing and getting bigger by the day, so book a trip now with Magic Touch Charters and get in on some of the August Bluefish action!

Today Andrew, Mike, Colin, and Teddy were aboard the Magic Touch and we had a Great Day on the Bluefish front! We ended the day with 55 Bluefish! Yes 55...These 3 kids did one heck of a job and so did Andrew. I had a great day guys and the boat only took 3 hours to get clean after you left!
The pile of fish we were on at the high point was so big that everytime your jig hit the water a fish was on. That was the best action I have seen so far this year guys and a new all time high for 4 guys this season on the boat!
We'll have to try to duplicate that trip again sometime guys! This is just the beginning of what August can bring on the Bluefish front! So don't wait until it's cold and over book a trip today to get in on some of the August Bluefish action.

Today aboard the Magic Touch we had Chip Marsland, his son Steven, and Martin Cabrera. We fished for about 4 hours and we were able to put a couple fish in the box. It was a bit slower than we had hoped but that's Fishing! Great job Steven on the big fish of the morning. I hope to see you guys again, and next time we'll have to hit them a bit harder.

You could not have asked for a much better day for fishing here in the Western Long Island Sound. We left the harbor around 8am quickly to find several large groups of Bunker being hit from below by both Bluefish and Striped Bass. There were several different batches of these baitfish some being bothered more then others. We wire line trolled on the outskirts of the pods to catch a few, jigged a few on one batch that had a lot of fish beneath it and we caught a very nice Striped Bass right around the 25lb mark that measured right around 40". We finished out the day trying our luck live-lining some Bunker we had snagged earlier on in the day to a couple more nice bluefish. Very nice work boys! I had a good time and hope you guys enjoy those filets. We will have to do it again sometime really soon.

July 6, 2008
Today we fished the morning 1/2 day trip with Matt, Mark, and Patrick. We left the harbor to a very dense fog with very poor visability. We started by trolling wire line through some scattered fish with no sucess. From there we decided to anchor up and chum and bait fish while we waited to see if the fog burned off. We had one run off and then as the fog lifted a bit we decided to make our move a bit further to the east and got into some nicer bodies of fish. We ended up having a pretty good late morning trolling up 9 nice Bluefish.
Matt ended the day with a 30" keeper Striped Bass and put his 1st
Bass of 2008 in the box.
June 29, 2008
Today Bobby and Dan Folchetti fished with us aboard the Magic Touch. We left the dock about 7am and wrapped it up just about 1:30pm. We Trolled 4 Bluefish up along with a nice 32" Striped Bass, caught on the Umbrella Rig. The weather was perfect and the Sound was flat calm. The day ended due to high winds and Thunderstorms moving into the area.
I had a great time guys. Thanks again for the good company.

Today Kenny Eastwood fished with us and we had a pretty good shot at the big chopper blues (8-13lbs) in the morning. We ended up Diamond Jigging them as they were all over the top swirling and surfacing. Good job of cranking guys. We ended the day with 10 chopper Blues. No picture today due to the camera being left at office but still wanted to include report.

Today Andrew and Jake came back out with us and this time they brought the girls and it lifted their curse! We had a really good day as we managed to sneak in a 1/2 Day Charter before the winds and the thunderstorms arrived.
It took a little while before we had a fish in the boat but it was a steady pick once we located them. We finished out the day with 9 nice Bluefish ranging from a couple smaller ones to a few close to 10lbs. Very nicely done everyone. Enjoy those fillets. Thank you again very much and thanks for coming back to see us.

Today was a very good day out there on the Western Long Island Sound. We put two very nice Stripers in the box. They were very similar in size both weighing in at right around the 25lb mark. 38"/40". Along with the Striped Bass we put 23 Bluefish on ice as well!
We left the dock at 10:30am and were back at 4pm. The day just came together from the moment we left the Harbor. We managed to find some bait fast on top and put about 20 in the livewell then we moved to a bigger batch of bait I was watching and got just on the outside edge and deployed the live baits. The picture tells the rest of the story. Great time guys rest those arms tonight!
June 16, 2008
Today we went out with a couple friends; Craig and John. We did pretty good in a short period of time. We fished from 10am-2pm and Trolled up 3 Bluefish and the smaller of the 2 Striped Bass you see in the picture above.
The larger Striped Bass was caught on a live Bunker. We missed two other fish that were large. They just were hitting the baits out of the water but there were many Striped Bass in the area. The big boy John is holding measured 38". Nice Fish Guys!

Today fishing with us was Mike, Jerry, and his son Jeff. We cast the lines at the dock around 6am to a very foggy start as we headed out of the harbor. The first line went off about 7:05am to a nice Bluefish. We steadily picked our way through the day and ended up capturing 9 nice Blues and one 30" Keeper Striped Bass! We were back at the dock by 2:30pm.
The weather was overcast all day after the fog burned off around 10am and it never rained. Calm as a lake out there today and the fish all were caught trolling wire line. Thanks John for the nice hook up! Also thanks guys for allowing me the opportunity to help make your Father's Day a memorable one. We will see you guys again soon.

Tonight it was myself, Gary, Kevin, and Mike. We left the dock at 6pm and fished until 11pm.The Bluefish bit really well and they were all nice size fish ranging from 6-10lbs. We put 15 Blues in the boat and must have lost another 20 either buy pulling the hooks out of them or short strikes. The action was constant most of the trip.
We also managed to catch our biggest Striped bass of 2008 thus far with a nice 20lb/ 37'' fish! The bite is better and better by the day people as the bait gathers and starts schooling up. These large Striped Bass are just waiting for them and when the time is right that's there food of choice! Bunker...Bunker...Bunker!!!
I had a great time guys and can't wait to do it again with you guys in July.

Today we fished the early am for a short three hour trip. There was a good group of guys who came up from NYC. Mr Hughes is the man who caught the one and only Bluefish that made the ice box. A couple were missed chewing on the bait before converting over to jigs and Marcus had one chase him right up to the boat. The wind picked up as we were leaving and we landed at the dock by 10:45 am.
These guys were just getting the hang of the jigs when the horn blew. Next time guys we'll have to do a full day. Have fun at work today boys, Keep in touch!

Today was a great day out there on the water and the word of the day today was "Striped Bass!" We caught 5 Striped Bass with 4 of them being keepers!!! The fish ranged from 29-34 inches and all the fish fell to cut chunks of Bunker. We also boated 3 nice Blues. The water temperature was 61 degrees and the conditions were excellent for fishing. I had a great time out there guys...thanks again!
Fishing is getting better by the day so book your dates now while the fish are chewing! More and more bait is present every day and it won't be long now before they settle in.

Today we managed to fish a window between the morning rain and the afternoon thunderstorms. We fished in 50-80' of water, with a water temperature of 61 degrees. There were a couple Bluefish caught in the short time out along with a nice 33" Striped Bass. Good job Mike on the Striped Bass. I hope he tastes good tomorrow night for dinner!

The boat is here in New Rochelle now at the Municipal Docks and ready to go fishing! Everything was redone this past spring and the boat is like brand new and rigged for Big Striped Bass and Bluefish. The weather is just starting to break and the reports are starting to surface about Striped Bass being caught.
Today the boat fished and some nice Bluefish were caught. Craig Ames was the man today landing some really nice fish on both diamond jigs and bunker chunks. We had a couple run offs that we suspect were Striped Bass. Any day now the bite should pick up. The weather is starting to warm up and this weekend is looking like a great one to get out and fish. Get those rods dusted off and give us a call. Don't miss out on the Spring run of Striped Bass here in the Western Long Island Sound!
don't settle for less...fish with the best!
