Thursday 7/16 Capt. Tony took the boat toady and put a nice catch of Sea Bass together for a light crowd on a partly rainy day. He stayed around the New Jersey shore most of the day, bouncing from spot to spot. Friday 7/17 We started off to the East this morning because the conditions where good for Ling fishing. We bagged up on the tasty fish by 12 noon and took a ride over to the New Jersey side to try for some Sea Bass. We drifted a few pieces and caught a nice mix off keeper Bass & Fluke and even some Flounder and Blackfish that were released. +

Tuesday 7/14 We started the day with some Sea Bass fishing and had mixed results. A couple drops where hot and others where cold. We finished upi the afternoon with super Ling fishing and everyone had a nice bunch of fish to take home. Little Mario was treated to a new custom rod for his B-Day by Grandpa Dave and he broke it in nicely today with Bass and Ling. Wed. 7/15 Again we started off the day Sea Bass fishing and they cooperated better today so we stuck with it for most of the day. We did make a stop on the way in for Ling and again it was great fishing. In a matter of 30 minutes everyone topped off there buckets with the tasty critters. Between the Bass and Ling all buckets where full by the days end. We even noticed a good showing of fluke today with a couple keepers in the mix.

2009/07/13 - Super Ling Fishing Today on the 7 AM Trip

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Monday 7/13/09 We enjoyed a nice day of Ling fishing, as they seemed to be the most cooperative species today. We tried a few spots on the way out and in and caught a few nice Porgies and Bass but not enough to stay with. Ling fishing was the definitely the way to go today. Justyna, Amanda and Dad filled nearly 5 buckets of fish between them and the pool Ling wieghed 5 pounds ! Our friends from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation stopped by the pier this afternoon to remind us of the size and bag limits for the fish we target. Please be sure to measure your fish and ask our professional crew if your catch is legal to keep.

2009/07/12 - Night Striped Bass, Weakfish & Vampire Fluke ?

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Our 7 PM night trips continue to produce well. The last few night trips have had 45 to 70 Stripers with a few large (vampire)Fluke and a couple BIG Weakfish ans some Blues mixed in each trip. Saturday nights trip was slow but we blame that on the very strong Southerly wind last night that made it tough to fish anywhere.

Tuesday 7/7/09 We fished for Sea Bass off the New Jersey Shore most of the day today. The fishing was a little picky but we put a catch of Sea Bass together before we headed to the Ling grounds. We spent the last hour of the day Ling fishing & it wasn't bad. Wednesday 7/8/09 Today, we spent the day fishing for Ling and it was excellent. Everyone on board caught at least a bucket full or more of tasty Ling. There were a few nice Sea Bass caught, but we stuck with Ling fishing most of the day.
