NJ Saltwater Fishing Reports

Anthony and his crew met us way before the sun came up for a Fluke trip. However, the reports have been very poor and Thursday the fluke were almost non existing. After they heard about the Mahi, it was a easy choice to head east and give themtry. The guys did great in flipping the [...]

Wasting way to much time trying to locate peanuts, (first few throws were all adults, stripers anyone?), I got a later start then I wanted to in very nice conditions. The water was 72′ and extremely clear, not much life, but I wanted the lines in and troll towards the Glory Hole. So with much excitement [...]

Looking to load up with live bait just in case we could head offshore was easy and the backup plan was to take a tank of snappers so we could stop on the rough bottom on our trip home. The peanuts were easy, but the snappers were very hard to come by, Sal even sacrificed my [...]

With a stiff west wind I made a quick stop at the Big Channel, just in case it was fishable, which is was not. So a ride south, which was interrupted by those crazy bluefish, was in order. It took no time for Mike Scanio to get into a real nice fluke, just under 5lbs [...]

I kne wthe day was going to be a good one once I was introduced to 3 generations, Grandpa Bob, Father Chris and 2 sons, Charley and Willie. Mix in Anthony and his son Nick and this had all the makings of a great day. Could not ask for nicer weather as we headed south [...]

Getting the peanuts was not as easy as it has been and that should have been our sign for the day, nothing came easy. I took the ride and tried for weakfish.

Then weatherman was not wrong with this forecast as the forecasted 20 mph west winds were there. Plenty of sun, and with a father and his 2 sons aboard for a day on the water it really does not get better then this. We had some nice blues right away on live bunker, which gave them quite [...]

I knew it was going to be bumpy when I felt the wind in my face at 2:00am. At the ramp, all the flags were starched, but with the High arriving , I gambled on it settling down, so east we went in a steep following sea. Put the lines in south of the BA [...]

With Thursdays trip still fresh in my mind, I could not wait to get the men back to the channel. However, when we arrived I found the wind with the tide which makes for a very bad combination. These guys fought hard and caught some nice keepers before we needed to move, 16 ounces on braid [...]
