The Adventures In Fishing production team filmed The Frank Ricciardo Memorial Tournament on board, The Orient Star II, in Orient Point, NY. This tournament is always exciting as giant bluefish are caught by the competing anglers. At times, there are 5-6 fish hooked up at one time. Striped Bass were also caught by some of the anglers. Viewers will see what jigging for bluefish is all about. Jigging for bluefish is one of the best ways to catch BIG bluefish.
The Adventures In Fishing production team filmed The Contender Regulator Shootout at the Montauk Yacht Club sponsored by White Water Marine and Suffolk Marine. This is a well organized tournament with great tournament anglers on Contender Boats and Regulator Boats. The big fish that were caught included a 208 lb Bluefin Tuna and a 207.5 lb Mako. Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke and Mahi-Mahi were also weighed in. Tune in to see if Contender Boats held on to their Overall Champion Title.
Adventures In Fishing recently filmed a great captain doing a great service. His name is Capt. Kip Johannesen. Capt. Kip takes out disabled veterans, disabled adults and disabled children fishing aboard his 34' Mainship "Valhalla". And guess what...he takes them out for FREE. Capt. Ray and his cameraman, Al Milian, were very impressed with Capt. Kip and his volunteer mates, Christine and Terry and we know our viewers will be also.
Another episode was produced during The Annual Larry's Lighthouse Marina Fluke Tournament in Aquebogue, NY. The tournament had 24 boats and the anglers caught loads of fluke. Jeff Camp won the tournament with a monster of a fluke weighing in at 7 lbs. 5 oz. Jeff won the $750.00 lst place money as well as the calcutta for a total of $1,250.00. Jeff had just purchased his new 33' Grady White on the Wednesday prior to the tournament. Now, that's a way to christen a boat.
The Adventures In Fishing Production Team recently filmed The 11th Annual Riverhead Moose Fluke Tournament in Riverhead, NY. The show features a father and son fishing team, Steven Johnson and James Johnson winning this prestigious event which raises money for abused children. This year, the tournament raised Two Thousand Five Hundred ($2500.00) dollars
Adventures In Fishing recently filmed the 11th Annual Wally Oakland Memorial Shark Tournament out of Oakland's Marina in Shinnecock, NY. The tournament raises money for East End Hospice and had 48 boats which participated. Three Thresher Sharks were weighed in with the biggest being 330 lbs. Loads of blue sharks were caught by the anglers. The production team filmed on board Semper Fi with Capt. John Lavelle. Capt. Ray landed a huge blue shark with Capt. John and boat owner, Randy Aversano, catching big blue sharks as well.
Another episode was produced during The Annual Molnar's Landing Early Fluke Shootout out of Molnar's Landing in Hampton Bays. Lanny Molnar always has a great tournament with loads of fluke being caught.
Adventures In Fishing recently produced an episode on board Bee Fishing Charters with Capt. Joe Mazzarella. Capt. Joe left Boynton Beach, FL in his 32' Donzi Center Console and ran over to the Bahamas using his radar to locate birds and feeding skipjack tuna. The action was fantastic. We know you will love this episode.
A fanstastic snook, bass and catfish show was filmed out of Riverbend Park on the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter, Florida. The show will be interesting because it was filmed in a canoe with Tony Crease using only a trolling motor and live minnows for bait.
Another episode was produced with Capt. Ray and his cameraman, Al Milian onboard, Adventures, again off Palm Beach, Florida catching a variety of fish including, jack cravelle, blue runners, and Florida porgies.
The production team also traveled to the Florida Keys and filmed an episode at Bud N Mary's Marina in Islamorada. The show will feature Capt. Nick Stanczyk catching sailfish, king mackerel and yellowtail snapper. Capt. Nick was filmed for another episode of Adventures In Fishing fishing with his father, Capt. Richard Stanczyk when he was 10 years old. Capt. Nick is now 20 years old, has his own charter boat and attends the University of Miami.
The production team traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and produced a fantastic show on board, El Budster, with Jim Dillon, Capt. Salvador O'campo and First Mate Manuel Jiminez. During the filming a Striped Marlin, two Rooster Fish and a Yellowtail were caught. It should also be noted that Jim caught a world record 90 lb. Dorado last year! The El Budster is the boat to book when fishing in Cabo San Lucas!
Adventures In Fishing produced an excellent show out The Bear Track Inn in Gustavus, Alaska with Capt. Josh Cosby of Black Rock Charters. Capt. Ray,
Chris Kelly, Mark Wascher and Tanya Tate caught giant Halibut in the 100-175 lb range. The next day, the group caught rockfish in all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, the fishing is unbelievable in Alaska. All anglers have to experience Alaska fishing at least once in their lifetime.
Scheduled Filmings
The production team will be producing 3 episodes with Capt. Joe Mazzerella of Bee Fishing Charters while he does some Island Hopping in the Bahamas. The Annual Molnar's Landing Fluke Shootouts and The KISS Shark Tournament out of Molnar's Landing in Hampton Bays, NY with Lanny Molnar will also be filmed.
