On July 13, 2006 we had our first trip for the kids on the Marilyn Jean.  Our many thanks go to Captain Tony Santella and his well-organized professional crew along with Tom Mansuetto, who served as chaperone.  Captain Tony started the morning with tips and information on fishing for fluke in shallow water for the kids that wanted to learn or were inexperienced. They baited hooks and started to catch fish after a few drifts.  Forty fluke were caught on board for the day.  One keeper and 39 throwbacks.  The kids took turns driving the boat with a sharp eye on each driver from Captain Tony.  George the mate also helped the kids.  The boat returned Sheepshead Bay by 2pm. The trip was great for all.  Captain Tony was thanked by all the kids, Kevin, Eric, Jeremy, Du and Gerrold. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints kids had a wonderful first and lasting experience. 

On July 15th the Orient Star with Captain Bill Russo was the classroom for some fluke fishing that produced a number of monsters up to 10 lbs.  The biggest fluke were caught by Tom Caruso Jr., Rich Stiglitz and Bryan Felicia. This was a beautiful day with many big fish caught around Gardiners Island.

On August 17, 2006 on the Marilyn Jean out of Sheepshead Bay Federation Director, Frank Mansuetto organized another trip with Captain Tony and the action was fast and furious.  The action heated up with fluke, bluefish and weakfish being caught.  The young anglers on this trip included Jeff, Axile, Giermo and Aaron.

On September 1, 2006, the Orient Star, captained by Bill Russo out of Orient Point, became the hosted for another dozen children with Max and Alex Wallach, Michael Cataldo and the Felicia brothers Joey, Bryan and Anthony leading the way with Porgies over 3 pounds. Davey Jones and his daughter Trish and Neil Wallach were also present.  Captain Ron Grandinetti gave out many fishing tips and pointers throughout the day.  Again, the federation thanks Captains Bill and Mike Russo for the wonderful outing they donated.
