Captain Tom Kosinski
Tom Kosinski is a USCG licensed Captain. His passion for saltwater fishing began at a young age after catching his first striped bass with his father while fishing the Navesink River. Throughout the years, Tom gravitated toward surfcasting and traveled all over New England in search of a trophy from the suds. Tom has found a passion for chasing various species on fly and light tackle from his boat. From pursuing giant stripers on Raritan Bay in the early spring, to sight fishing the flats of New England in the summer, Tom is always on the water. Tom has written numerous articles for Surfcaster's Journal and other publications.

We start our season in late March and fish through December.
In the spring, our primary focus is trophy Striped Bass on fly and light tackle.
During the summer months we target inshore Tuna and other pelagic species as well as resident Striped Bass.
The fall is an exciting time as the bass fishing picks up and False Albacore and other speedsters enter the equation.
