Jill from the November Rain reported that persistent winds kept the boat tied up for much of the week, but once conditions improved, the blackfish were more than willing to cooperate. Jamie and his crew had originally scheduled two trips targeting a combination of striped bass, sea bass, and blackfish. Thursday's trip was canceled due to the weather, but the group made up for lost time on Friday by loading up with a limit of tog. On Saturday, Paul "Nice Guy" Galeno and his group of six enjoyed another outstanding outing, putting together a boat limit of blackfish. Georgie Tattoo also made the first of his four scheduled fall tog trips aboard the boat. Captain and crew explored some different bottom to find relief from the tide, and although the bite started slowly, the anglers eventually boxed 32 blackfish. Jill said the fishing remains very encouraging, and they are looking forward to getting back out whenever the weather allows. Give them a call at (646) 335-7315 to book a trip.

Capt. Steve grew up spending much of his time with his grandfather, Robert (Bob) Lake, who eventually became his best friend. Bob was an avid fisherman himself and would tell both Capt. Steve and Capt. Jill many a story about his days in Montauk fishing on the Viking and his nights at Salivar’s. Steve’s introduction to fishing came at a young age, and once he started, he never stopped. Although Bob continued fishing for many years thereafter, he gradually moved away from fishing and began rod building, a “hobby” that he continued for years. To this day, Capt. Steve and Capt. Jill have an entire collection of beautifully built rods aboard the November Rain, from light to heavy tackle, most with Bob’s signature on them.   Steve and Jill met over 30 years ago and they’ve been fishing together for just as long, spending much of that time in Montauk. Their fishing adventures began when they started trailering their 22’ Mako to Montauk, first for a weekend, then for a week and then for a few weeks. Their next boat, a 28’ BHM, would be docked in Montauk for half the season and then eventually, a full season. In 2003, they took the leap into the charter business and started November Rain Charters.  In 2004 they purchased the second NOVEMBER RAIN, a 35’ Young Brothers, which they fished on for 11 years.  In 2015, they introduced the current NOVEMBER RAIN, a 43' Lowell and a multi-passenger vessel on which they can carry up to 20 people, though they typically recommend keeping most trips to no more than 12 people.   Capt. Steve and Capt. Jill don’t claim to be more knowledgeable than other captains, nor will they tell you that they’ll catch more fish than any other boat. What they will tell you, however, is that if you fish with them, they will try their absolute best to make sure you have a great day and go home with a great catch.
