Captains Andy LoCascio, Rich Tenreiro, and John Luchka of Long Run Fishing Charters team up to fish the prestigious Manhattan Cup Tournament sponsored by the Fishermen’s Conservation Association. Along with one of the most impressive fields ever assembled, they brave high winds and thunderstorms in search of big bluefish and stripers. On their way back they run into an incredible striped bass blitz beneath the Verrazano bridge and score some monster striped bass on topwater plugs.
Special thanks go out to Frank Crescitelli, Dave Fallon, and the rest of the crew from the FCA for an amazing tournament!
