From spring and summer stripers to fall tautog, his instincts for finding and catching fish are well honed from a lifetime on the water, but his pure love of fishing and focus on keeping it fun for everyone who steps on board his boat has made him one of the most in-demand captains in the Northeast.

Always great to hear Captain BJ speak!

[@LongIslandLethals]

Captain BJ is an excellent charter captain. He's an awesome time on the water and can make a day out of some of the toughest conditions. Love that guy!

[@alexanderrichardson5929]

OTW is the Go-To online fishing show to be informed of what varieties of New England Regional fishing are available and where to go!

Can’t wait for the season to kick off!

Great job Gentlemen! Nothing like an OTW Podcast! It can be 10 hours long and I'll watch it! BJ, you're second to none my guy! Can't wait to get out and have some fun this season! Thank you for the mentions, extremely humbling. #PhishPhinders

Gentlemen, I just watched my first pod cast. Very good, very informative! thank you. Enjoyed it immensely, and to captain Silvia; I fish the western passage but hope to cross your path on the water someday. I particularly liked your story about your youth, because I slung forms from 1994 to 1998 from East Providence to Newport for American Forms. I was a foreman and had more than a few workers show up to work under the weather but non due to fishing! LOL

BJ knows how to us his gear as good as anyone!

[@patherguth]

Great podcast. At the 25 minute mark what type of fish did he say are sitting below the Albies?

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

Thank you! Bj is talking about weakfish, which he sometimes sees hugging the bottom while looking for albies in the fall.

[@101FishFinder]

Ask BJ about bananas lol

nothing worse than a crab snob

[@Snap-Time]

Electronics have done a lot to spoil how people fish. Fish are more pressured than ever and there are too many selfish A-holes taking too many illegal fish.
