DAILY FISHING REPORT FOR OCEAN EXPLORER

2-7-12 We started out in the average 100ft.depth that we have been having decent fishing with the ling and the Togs.Slowly we picked at the ling,one here,one there.Lots of eels,both pouts and big regular ones.Few blackfish mixed in.Couple keepers,couple shorts.Made couple drops in that depth then decided to try some deeper stuff in the 160-200ft range.We did not see much in the way of ling in this depth but we did have some nice Codfish.Biggest I would guess about twenty.Maybe half a dozen other keepers,same amount of shorts.We also had in the deep,in one small area on the starboard side,4 purple hake come over the rail.Kinda rare in these parts but they are caught occasionaly.They kinda look like an overgrown ling,much darker with a purple hue.The current and the eels got to be to much out there so we went back in shallower and had a few more keeper togs,and actually another good shot of ling.In the end some guys had any where between 6-15 ling,the boat had maybe six keeper Cods,and six keeper Togs,and some purple hake.Pretty decent day for a good size crowd.See ya tomorrow.Check out some pics.

Two keeper Cods for this gentlemen

Five dollar pool fish.About 19lbs.

Mike took the ten dollar pool.

Two of the purple hakes.

Another purple one.

2-6-12 Pretty day,west winds kept the ocean fairly calm.Maybe a 2-3ft.chop is all we had.We did well with the ling today.Most of the time we would see fish coming.A lull here and there but overall we picked away most of the day.The ling the past few days were the pumpking looking ones to,those bigger fish that seemed to be different than the others we were catching.The blackfish were almost in the mood.We caught maybe 6-7 keepers.6 shorts.Lost a few.Had one keeper cod,and one customer had the triple crown.Cod,Ling,and nice blackfish.Good day,good fishing.

The triple crown winner!

Barrel O Ling!!!

2-5-12 Once again back to good life of the bottom.Blackfishing was decent,along with a pick at ling and the other usual bottom dwellers.Pouts,eels,etc.....I believe Barnegat Bob had six keeper Togs,and other spread out around the boat.Tomorrow looks awesome and Tuesday!!

2-4-12 Very nice ocean conditions,flat calm,nice.Fishing was very good,just the catching was a little on the slow side!!Made three drops in the area we have seen very good fishing lately and it was like a desert today.A bit of north tide shut down the bite for us.Just a few ling here and there.Moved around quite a bit and found some better life with each drop but it was still on the slow side.High hooks on the ling had only 6-7 and if you were lucky maybe a blackfish.One nice Tog about 6-7lbs.guessing took home the money.Tomorrow is another day!!

2-3-12 Pretty much a repeat of yesterday.Ling were chewing again in the morning,most guys were getting into the bite with a few keeping the crabs on for a tog.Only had one or two keeper togs early on so we moved a bit deeper and had some nice fish come over the rail as you can see in the pics below.High hook had six keeper blackfish and some of the guys had anywhere between 10-25 ling.Overall again good fishing,and the weekend looks awesome!!!!

Nice mixed bad of ling and tog.

2-2-12

Once again a large blackfish takes home the money.I would guess 12-13lbs.Another good solid day of fishing.In the morning we banged away at the ling,decent fishing but after a while I noticed no Togs coming up so we took a ride to a different area and still kept picking at the ling but we also had some nice blackfish come up as well.The biggest went as you can see around 12lbs.High hook had three keeper Togs,and a batch of ling.Good day out and good fishing.

2-1-12 Pretty much the same conditions as yesterday.Picked away at the ling today most spots we stopped.Nothing fast,just a pick here and there with those.Couple of keeper togs in the morning but we did not really see any quality fish until the afternoon when we moved into a different area.Then we had some nice fish show up,biggest fish today again over ten pounds,maybe eleven.Some of the guys had three keeper togs,some two.,some one.Caught on both crabs and a few on clams.Mixed in with the ling we had a decent day.I have some nice pics below..Tomorrow looks good again.See ya then.

1-31-12 Last day of the month gave us a beautiful ride out to the grounds.Ground swell out of the south in the 3-5ft range.made us just rock a bit but other than that it was really nice on the water today.And warm!!!Fishing was good to with ling coming up around the boat most of the morning.Few keeper blackfish as well.By lunch it slowed down a bit so we moved to a new area and got into a decent blackfish bite.Some of the guys fishing with the white leggers had two three keepers each and some quality fish at that.Check out the pics.The gulp baits worked well today along with the clam for ling,and I had another nice blackfish today  on a gulp shrimp bouncing it on the bottom.Tomorrow looks much like today!!!See ya then.

Big male,over ten,maybe eleven??Check out the head on this fish.

My fish on gulp shrimp.

Just a handful of the quality fish today.

 

1-30-12 We made our way out today in flat calm seas and fairly light winds.After about five miles into our ride out it started to get breezy and by the time we got anchcored up it was blowing about twenty five out of the Nw.Not very rough,just a little choppy.Fishing was much better to start with, some ling coming up quick.Then we picked away pretty decent for about an hour,some guys had ten ling within that time.Few blackfish also mixed in as well.Then it slowed and we made some moves and picked a few here and there,lots of current to deal with again today.Late afternoon had em chewing a little again and we just sat and picked till it was time to go home.In the end,we got the day in and high hooks had twenty or so ling,some had a dozen etc.....Maybe 7-8 keeper togs,and some throwback Codfish.Tomorrow looks decent again,see ya in the morning.

1-29-12

Over view of today was the fishing was slow.A hard current out of the south seemed to have put a damper on the ling bite.High hook had maybe a dozen ling but most guys averaged 5-6.We caught some blackfish,some nice ones up to eleven pounds.Couple of guys had three,some two,and some one or none.Any other winter I would be happy with what we caught(especially almost Febuary) but it was just not what we have been seeing lately.

Blackfish Bobby had three keeper Togs including this Moose about 11lbs.

Chris was second runner up with his personal best.Nice one kid.

 

1-28-12

Large Blackfish continue to dominate the pool.Skip here is no stranger to big Togs lately and this fish went over 11lbs I would guess.This big male took a white legger today.What a day to be fishing to,it was absolutely beautiful today with flat calm seas and very mild temps.As soon as we set up on our first drop today it was very good fishing with ling coming up all around the boat.Stayed that way most of the day and scattered around that we had some guys dropping down to try for a Tog.We managed to catch blackfish also as you can see in this picture and below but the way the ling were flying most guys were pulling on those.Check out some more pics below.Tomorrow looks awesome again,so what is it gonna be for you,Ling or Tog???Maybe even a Cod?See ya in the morning.

Both Jimmy and Jimmy here had the elusive Tautog and Dingers.

Plenty of Ling around.

 

1-26-12 Flat calm,nice ocean conditions.Overcast but the rain held off all day.Pretty decent fishing again with ling coming up all around the boat for the guys targeting them and some decent blackfish coming up as well,along with a couple of nice Codfish.High hook on the Togs had three keepers,some two,some one etc....Biggest Tog went over 8lbs.I would guess.Good fishing all around but tomorrow is a day to stay home,the forecst looks not so good with a strong southerly coming on tonite and into the morning.Saturday and Sunday look good though so come down and get in on some of this good fishing and take home some great eating fish!!!!!

Pool winner???Dont know yet.

Another nice one!!

Doug hammered some Ling today,tough to Blackfish when so many nice ling are coming up.

The mystery angler and his nice Codfish.Those spots are ice marks,I know someone would ask.See ya Saturday morning.

1-25-12 Another pretty day on the water.No swell and only  a small chop out of the north.Had a decent gang of customers show up to enjoy the day and we got into the action from early on.All around the boat each spot we would pick away at the ling,guys fishing for the togs would pick off some Togs,and the banana cod were thick!!!!!Biggest Blackfish of the day went over ten pounds,maybe eleven.Handful of guys had three keeper Togs,some had two etc....for those targeting them.Ling were a bit tougher to get today but still we banged away at em and high hook probably had over two dozen,and some had a dozen,fifteen etc..but you had to weed through some eels to get em.Decent day all around with good action most of the day.No complaints especially with weather like this!!!Got some pics to put up but gotta figure out this new camera!!!

1-24-12 Very nice,and warm today on the ocean.At one point you could actually take your coat off!!!The sea condtions were nice also with almost no wind and a slight ground swell out of the southeast running 3-5ft.Started out in the same area we have been fishing and had pretty decent fishing almost rightaway.Today the Ling made up most of the catch.Each drop we had them coming over the rail all around the boat.Some spots produced better than others but by the end of the day the guys fishing for them ended up very well off.The guys blackfishing did not have it as good but still not bad..We caught some fish,but no large ones like previous trips.I would guess pool fish went about 4-6lbs.One gentlemen did have his limit of togs,few had two keepers,and some had one but not as good of a bite as I would have like to have seen.One keeper Codfish.The banana cod(aka pout) were chewing today,wow were they on the move.Sometimes we would have to move the boat just because they were over running everyone.So in the end another good day with a pretty good catching.Tomorrow looks very nice again with Nw winds at ten to fifteen mph.See ya in the morning.

1-23-12 I like the forecast for tomorrow(tuesday) with the winds going west.Come on down and get some fish!!!Should be warm to,along with the rest of the week!!!

1-20-12 We took some lumps getting up to the grounds this morning,but it was well worth it.Big,quality Blackfish dominated the catch again today.Quite a few anglers dropping the white legged crabs to the bottom had no problem catching a limit of Togs,and then some.We also had some fish on greens as well.Eric the mortgage man took top honors with a fish around 11lbs.Some other fish in the ten pounds range came close but could not weigh down Eric's fish.One nice Codfish might have been bigger but was not in the pool.Again we had the ling coming up around the boat for the guys targeting em.Had maybe six other Codfish come up as well scattered around the boat to today.Good day again with a solid mixed bag of fish brought over the rail.Tomorrow is a bit on the questionable side,we shall see in the morning.

Eric took home the weight and the money!

Shrimpman came on strong at the end of the day and had well over a limit of Togs,and some Ling.

 

These two were close but not heavy enough

Will had a limit plus of Togs to!!!!

Jimmy had a nice Codfish along with a limit plus of Togs.

1-19-12 Ocean was very nice,cool on the water but still nice for this time of year.Fish were snapping.Both Blackfish and Ling.Some of the guys had no problem catching there limit of Togs,and then some.Some even had almost triple there limit.One of the biggest went just under 12lbs.What was nice though was the amount of fish in the 6-7lb.range.White leggers were the ticket along with some weight,some current today but not bad.10-12oz.was good.We are and have been fishing in 100ft.of water.Along with the Togs those that were Ling fishing were crushing em.Numbers were large,even for those that never fished before.Just good fishing all around.

Capt.Barry had a large one just under 12lbs.

Herb was on fire today,he had over a double limit of Togs and some nice Ling.

1-16-12 Much better conditions today.Calm and cool but no wind to speak of early.Fish were chewing again.Each drop around the boat you would see decent ling fishing for the guys who were targeting em.Some ended up with real good catches of them and some just ended up picking a few but overall pretty good.The Toggers had some nice shots to,Blackfish Bobby and his boys were out and his youngest Andrew took home the money today a nice 11lb.fish.Peter in the back had a Cod about 8lbs.close on the scale but not heavy enough.We busted off some nice fish as well today,some others had 1-2 Togs each spread out around the boat.Good day out and good fishing for most.We did however get a bit of a beating on the ride in,man did that ocean get cranky!!!!Tomorrow looks not so good.I would wait for another day.

1-15-12 Gotta give it to our customers today.It was no doubt one of the coldest,windiest days to be out fishing.Not really rough,just bone chilling.Started out shallow looking for some life and there was almost none.Just a few short Togs and one keeper.Made two drops inshore then moved back out to the area where we had good fishing last week and was happy to see the life still there after the blow we had mid-week.Every drop we woiuld have a shot of ling come up around the boat along with a few Codfish and some nice Blackfish.Biggest Tog went about nine pounds.Some of the Cod were about the same.Wouild have been even better if the tide was not running as hard as it was.By the end of the day it dropped out though and the ocean started getting even nicer.So overall not banner fishing but decent.I think tomorrow is going to be real nice with light winds through the afternoon.See ya in the morning.

1-14-12 Cold and windy,lots of current today.Not to rough,but boy did we do some rockin!!!Tide was up against the wind and it made it a bit uncomfy on the anchor.We did not have the decent fishing we have been seeing lately.Current was strong and between that and the wind it was tough.We picked at some ling,few keeper togs offshore,then moved in a little shallower and had better Tog life and less current.Had a nice Blackfish about 8lbs.take home the pool in there along with some other nice fish and some throwbacks.So overall we caught some fish,just not as good as we have been seeing lately.See ya tomorrow.

1-13-12 The report for today is wind,wind,and more wind.We showed up this morning but the wind never went west like it was supposed to until about seven am.So we have not been out.Tomorrow(Saturday)we are ready to fish again.It will be a little breezy out of the west,but we are not fishing that far offshore so the seas will not be that bad.Look for maybe 2-4 ft seas out of the west.Nothing we are not used to.By afrernoon it is supposed to drop out.I was just down the beach and a  hard west wind is knocking the swell down quick.Tomorrow should be nice.!!!Just look at our recent reports to see what we have been catching!!!On a different note......................I was infomed by one of our good customers John(aka.the skate killer.)that his beautiful bride JUDEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!is feeling a bit under the weather and is looking to do some healing.Well myself,the crew,and quite a few customers that you fish with are behind you on this battle and want to give you a special prayer and we will be thinking of you during this recovery that you have to go through.So stay strong and positive and getter better Judeee cause we have alot of skates to capture this summer!!!and John give me a call when you get a chance,didnt get to see you before you left the other day.

1-11-12 The nice weather today,and the nasty weather forecasted for tomorrow brought out the crowd today.We were busy on deck with a decent size crowd to get out and get in some fishing before the blow tonite.Fishing started out slow for us,areas that have been productive for us were slow this morning.Made some different drops and got dialed in on some decent fishing considering the size of the crowd.Each drop late morning on yielded a pick at the ling around the boat.You would see em come up all around with an occasional Tog mixed in.High hooks with the ling had around twenty or so,and down from there.The blackfish would be here and there,not sure what high hook was.Maybe two or three.Few Codish,only a couple of keepers that I saw.Threw back some nice sea bass,some bluefish,lots of eels.Dogfish were not a problem today.Pool fish went around six,and seven pounds(blackfish).The ten dollar yielded 410 bucks while the five dollar yielded around 265.Overall for the big crowd we put a catch together and had very nice day on flat calm seas.Stay at home tomorrow,we will not be shaping up due to the high winds tonite.Call if you are interested in Friday.Now the weekend looks nice!!!

The big pool winners from today!!

1-10-12 It got a bit breezy on the grounds today.The ocean never got rough,but man did we do some rockin!For what ever reason this morning we had some small heave up against the wind and it made it a little rocky and rolly.But overall it was decent on the water.Fishing was about the same as we have been seeing.Everydrop you see the guys targeting the ling getting em pretty consistenly,then you see some Togs here and there scattered around the boat with an occasional Codfish mixed in.We have no blackfish over ten pounds today,biggest I would guess went about eight.Some others in the 6-7lb.class.So overall,decent bottom fishing again.Crazy also which I have not mentioned is the amount of sea bass that we have been throwing back.Strange to seem them still here this time of year.We even had a fluke yesterday which went back.Nineteen inches long!!!Bluefish around still to!Go figure!!Anyway another good day out,and tomorrow looks like a real nice day with light winds.Thursday on the other hand does not look good.

Got a picture from yesterday I put up late!!Nice fish!!!

1-9-12 January?????Warm,flat calm seas.Fish were biting again.Each drop we had the ling coming over the rail,along with an occasional Codfish,and some Jumbo blackfish again.We have three large Togs that are going to the scale that are over ten pounds again,maybe 11 or 12,not sure but nice ones.Good all around fishing!!!Everyone went home with some nice meat again today.Look forward to tomorrow,the weather looks awesome again!!!

Gonna be a close  pool between these three nice Togs here.

Glad someone in the family can catch big Blackfish!!Know who I am talking about???

Joe worked for this Moose today!!!

Steven had some nice ling and a nice cod today,not sure if he ended up with a Tog or not.

1-8-12 Another nice day on the water with warm temps,and calm seas.We did not have the crowd like yesterday,I guess alot were home watching football.It was a shame cause it is not often you get a stretch of weather like this in January.I hope it continues.A jumbo Blackfish seems to me is going to take the pool money again today.I would guess it went between 11-12 lbs.I will find out when I get in but it was a good one.Blackfish Bobby and his son Rj caught there limit of Togs and even some more to help some other customers who did not have some.Few other nice ones scattered around the boat.Bobby had a couple of Moose fish that he broke off,said they were very large!!!We have seen alot of nice fish that one the battle this week.We got some nice Cod to today but I dont think they were big enough to take the pool but still nice.Not many,just a handful.Ling were decent in spots,I saw quite a few ling come up,some customers did better than others with them but still quite a few scattered around the boat as well which is good considering the limit for blackfish is only four fish now.It gives people a chance to take home some other meat instead of only four blackfish.If your lucky like a few today they had a triple crown,Tog,Cod,and Ling.I only fished today for five or ten minutes and again those ling were hammering the gulp baits.I think I saw the glow shrimp work even better for someone today.Well we will be back at it again tomorrow.So if you want to take a crack at some Togs,or Cod or Ling,come on down.Weather looks awesome!!!Check out some of the nice fish from today.

Pretty sure this big female took the money today!!

Rj and his male Tog,I dont think it will beat out the female.

Some nice Cods.

Hey nice fish!!!!

 

1-7-12 

This fish took home the largest pool ever on the boat.1,025 bucks for both pools today.Yes,thats correct,one thousand twenty five!!!!!Fish weighed in at 13lbs.We had some other nice fish as well,a Cod just missed beating this Tog out.Few other Togs between 6-9lbs.were in the running for a while until this came up.Scattered other Togs around the boat,along with a handful of keeper Cods.Ling made up alot of the catch today,we did not get into a good blackfish chew,just some quality ones.In the end we had a nice day,just a large crowd split the catch up a bit,but alot went home with some nice fillets.Check out some of the other nice fish below.Looks real nice for tomorrow!Are you going!!!

1-6-12 They called for some gusty winds today but they were wrong,again.Real nice day condition wise.WARM!!!Deccent ocean,not bad current,and believe it or not,no dogfish today.The mixed bag fishing we had yesterday was waiting for us again.The ling were hungry,if you were a savy linger you would have had no problem filling a bucket up with some of these.Some codfish filled in some gaps,some even had two keeper cods.And to round it off we had the blackfisherman slugging away at the Togs.The big Togs were not chewing like yesterday,you had to work at it today to get your limit,but a few guys did have the limit.Few had three,two etc...Biggest went about five pounds I would guessCouple of people even had the triple crown,Keeper Tog,Keeper Cod,and some Ling..Overall a nice day with different catches scattered around the boat.Again I was fishing the gulp baits for the ling,and on everydrop it was almost drop and reel fishing.They were hungry for those ghost shrimp.Caught some on clams to.Tomorrow looks awesome!!!along with sunday!!!Come down and get in on some great fishing and great weather.Check out some pics.See ya tomorrow.

The kid had a keeper blackfish early!!!

Check out Cod Woman!She is hiding behind her fish!Nice ones!!!

These two had a limit of blackfish each!!!

Can you tell Kojac was excited!!

1-5-12 Made it out to the deeper water today and was pleased with what waited for us on the bottom.Every drop we made yielded some good shots of ling and some large blackfish.Mixed in with that we had some Codfish,both keepers and throwbacks and surpisingly sea bass which we had to throwback.Some dogfish activity at times but not bad.The biggest problem was to either put on a crab and go for Togs,or a clam and shoot for some of the nice ling coming over the rail.I actually caught a couple of ling myself on the crab,Im sure others did as well.As you can see the blackfish were chewing today and some of them were LARGE!!!!Few over 10lbs,some 8lbrs.etc.....We even had a couple of fish on that were in the moose catergory.I watched one fish get halfway up after a good battle to get off the bottom just to take a strong run and pull the hook.(keep in mind to back off the drag alot of times when you get him off the bottom just in case he is barely hooked.Especially with spider wire and in deeper water)Another couple of  big fish we just did not even get off the bottom and shaved us off,these fish made the ones we netted seem small and those were 8-10 lb.rs.I look forward to getting back out there tomorrow.Check out some pics.See ya tomorrow.Remember we are now carrying both green crabs and clams for bait,but the white leggers worked best for the Togs and clams for ling.I also have been having good luck lately with gulp for the ling,especially the little shrimp or lobster looking ones.I think they are called Ghost Shrimp or something.Both chartruese and that hot pink.

How do ya like me now!!!!

Coduwski!

Much better pose today.

Herb made me take this one for you,Bob and Lenny!

Petey!!!!

Im glad someone was representing Hugh!!

Check out the nice ling mixed in there.

1-4-11 No fishing past two days.Most people stayed home to keep warm.Good news is the wind is letting up and the winds look good for tomorrow(thursday).Gonna warm up to.WE will be heading out to the deeper water looking for the bigger blackfish,also we will have some clams on the boat to get into the good ling fishing that has been going on.Expect to see some Codfish mixed in with the catch also.Its that time of the year to start fishing deep again!!For you blackfisherman,this is when the biggest fish of the year start coming up so we will still carry crabs as long as we can get them.And those that want the ling and cod,well its time!!!See ya in the morning.

1-2-12 Windy,yes.Ocean calm though,yes.Fishing was not so good for us though.If you could count the shorts and the dogfish I would say the fishing was good.But keepers were not chewing that well.High hook had three keepers,few two keeps,ones and nones for a decent size crowd for a Monday.Gonna be cold tomorrow so dress warm.Or I would suggest waiting a few days,its gonna warm up and the wind is gonna let up by Thursday or so.Gonna be getting out to the deeper grounds also as soon as the wind dies down a bit.Little Steven won the pool today with a nice 6lb.Tog.

 

1-1-12 Flat calm.Warm.Dogfish a bit of problem today.Start a bite going and they would mess it up.We did pick though most of the spots and some guys ended up with 4-5 keepers.Few 2-3,some one,few none but most had some keeper Togs.Decent amount of shorts but those dogs were busy today,not like yesterday.Tomorrow looks good with the winds going west about.A bit gusty but that wont be a problem with the westerly direction.See ya in theam.

12-31-11 Another nice day on the water.Fish were chewing better also for us.So much better that Blackfish Bobby had his limit by ten thirty this morning.Other picked at em and others struggled a bit but overall a good chew with some guys catching 3-6,others just one etc.....Some bigger fish today took the pool.Check out some pics.Few over ten pounds.

Some nice fish for the end of 2011!!!!Happy New Year Everyone.See ya tomorrow.

12-30-11 Well weather wise today it was pretty spectacular.Flat calm,sunny,and warm.Made our way out in this balmy weather to where we left some fish biting the afternoon before.But they were not in the mood.Few fish there,some dogfish etc...,but not good.Made quite a few drops today looking for some good life but never got into a good chew.High hook had three keeper tog,but for a large crowd scattered around the boat there were more nones,ones,and a few customers had two.Enough fish for maybe a handful of guys to call it a good day..Tomorrow looks nice again,we will be sailing normal times all weekend long including New Years Day.Pool fish went about six pounds today.See ya tomorrow.

12-29-11 Fishing was a bit on the slow side today.I kinda figured this with that big ground swell from yesterday.The bow did get into some fish today.They seemed to be getting bites most of the day especially in the afternoon.Couple of the guys up there had five keepers each.Few had 1-3.Rest of the boat struggled and did not have much life except an odd keeper here and there.Some shorts mixed in.Dogfish were pain,but we got the day in and some caught some fish.Tomorrow looks pretty good ,see ya then!!!!

12-27-11 Despite a nasty weather forecast for today it stayed nice.Never blew to hard and the ocean stayed pretty decent up until the end.Then the southerly started blowing and the rain started but by then we were on our way home.Fish were chewing again and some hammered the fish pretty good.Few caught limits plus,few had 3-4 etc...Again some just got stuck all day and sacrificed tackle,just had no luck but overall it was a decent chew,mostly up in the bow.Biggest fish of the day was not in the pool around 4-5 lbs.guessing.The forecast for tonite into tomorrow looks pretty grim with a large south swell building then hard out of the northwest tomorrow.I would suggest waiting to go out tomorrow.Thursday looks good.See ya then.

12-26-11 The wind did blow hard today but the ocean was nice.Not to cold either.Stayed shallow and caught some fish.Danny had high hook with seven keepers,another in the back had five.Some had two or three but alot of people struggled today.It was tough,some of the spots I fished.Tough I mean sticky.We lost some tackle!Spots were sticky and if you moved your sinker around at all today you were stuck!!So overall for a decent crowd some did well and some did not.Pool fish went around five pounds I would say.Dececnt action on the shorts,you just had to keep from getting stuck today to be succesful.See ya tomorrow,it looks nice!!!

12-25-11 Merry Xmas everyone!!!I wish you and your family the best this holiday season!!!!As for fishing we are not out today,I have actually had off the whole weekend!!!The boat did make it out yesterday but that is all in the past and tomorrow is a new day.The winds are going to be gusty tomorrow but the good news is that it will be out of the Northwest and the ocean should be very nice since we are still fishing in shallow waters!!!So we are back out on the fishing grounds tomorrow and everyday thereafter including New Years Eve and New Years Day!!See ya and Merry Xmas!

12-23-11 Another nice day.Flat calm besides a small ground swell and no rain.Fish were there also,just some were on there game and some just had no luck today.High hook had over a limit,some had 3,4,5,and some just one and some none.The story of the day is the fish that were broken off,we had some pigs on that even got the best of Blackfish Bobby!!!!I watched some others to that were shaved off on the rocks to that were quite large.Overall a nice day,tomorrow we are fishing!!!We should be back by three.

Andrew had the biggest of the day!!!Nice one!!!

12-22-11 Warm today.I will take weather like this all winter long!!!Started out this morning with some pretty quick bites all around the boat with some nice fish coming over the rail.I would have been happy if it stayed like that all day but it just kinda faded out.WE kept getting bites,they were picking at the baits alot and the white crabs definately did better today.Tommy had his limit,few had 4-5 keeps,some 1,2,3,some had none,and some had shorts.For a nice size crowd overall I would have liked more keepers,but as with Toggin some caught em and some didnt.Pool fish were both around 7-8lbs.Check out some pics from Today.Tomorrow looks a bit rainy early but that wont stop the bite!!!The ocean looks good!!!See ya in the morning.

Jeremy had his personal best today!!!

Five dollar winner!!

Ten dollar winner.

Your supposed to smile after catching 5 keepers today!!!

The bow had the best chew today,look even Marty was catching em!!!!

12-20-11 Today we had very nice ocean conditions again.The fish  were chewing, just some were good at feeding em or catching shorts and some were catching the keepers.I was one of those that could not hook the fish today.Few others joined me.Some had a limit of nice fish,some had 4-5 and a dozen shorts.Some had two etc...and some got the skunk.Typical day of chasing down the elusive Tautog.Pool fish went about 8lbs.I would guess.White leggers worked good but one gentlemen had 3-4 real quality fish on the green crabs.I fished one drop in 65ft.of water and the dogfish killed us,even had a bluefish invade our lines.Crazy for end of December huh?We are still mainly fishing in shallow,30-40ft.of water.

12-19-11 We had some gusty winds today but the ocean was due to the westerly flow off the beach.I would not say we had a good chew today like the day before.Seemed like we missed more than we caught today.They were there and biting but it seemed kinda dull to me.Maybe it was me,we did catch some fish but it seemed like we should have done better.High hooks had around 4 keepers I would say and some decent short life.See ya tomorrow.!!

12-18-11 Nice ocean conditions,flat calm and sunny.You had to like the cold today to enjoy it though.Needless to say as many of you know,how I feel about cold air.Fish chewed better for us today.It was a little difficult with a hard north current but they were there for the taking.Blackfish Bobby put on a show up in the bow swinging and catching fish all day on every drop we made.I dont know how many keepers,he had maybe a dozen or so and numerous shorts.Some others had their limit.Some had 3-4 etc...And of cocurse some struggled and just could not get the bite.Which we see alot,especially if you are a new comer to Toggin.So overall a good day,just a bit chilly.See ya in the morning for coffee!!!Looks like its gonna be nice.Remember we are fishing very close to the beach still!!!30ft.of water today.

12-17-11

Jimmy had some fish today,but overall the fishing was slow.Picky short bites,caught a few fish everywhere we stopped but just not that good of a bite.Tomorrow is looking nice but dress warm!!!See ya then.

12-16-11 That wind was blowing this morning,but out of the west so the ocean was nice and calm inshore.Fishing was not like we had yesterday.A bit difficult early with the wind blowing and the boat swinging around a bit but the most life we had was early I would say.Then we moved around to a couple of different areas and found just a few fish here and there.Just no good life to stay for.So just a slow pick most of the day,but some did well.High hook had 9 keepers,couple had 4-5,and some one and none,so I cant say some did not catch fish, it was just a bit on the slow side for my likings.Couple of nice pool fish went around 7-8 lbs.I would guess.Tomorrow looks nice,see ya in the morning.

12-15-11 

Where were you today???Bad weather forecast,light crowd and awesome fishing.These are the days to come.Guys had very good numbers and some real quality fish.They chewed good today with liimits easily for some guys and then some.Shame you were not here.!See ya tomorrow.This fish above went easily over ten pounds I would say!!

 

12-13-11

Lisa came down from New York to show us Jersey boys how to do it.And she did.Took home top honors and the money.Fishing was very spotty today,pick here and there.High hook did have seven keepers,next maybe four keepers,few two to three but alot of people just had one.So overall yes we caught fish,just seemed a bit on the slow side.White crabs made a difference today but one guy did have four on greens.

12-12-11 Wow,another flat calm day.Almost to calm,anchors were pretty much loose all day.Small crowd showed up to fish,shame,it was really nice out.Fish were chewing to.Check out some pics.

Shrimp????

Will had a nice male

Lenny said this one is for you Herb!

This fish had a face that got mangled some how,picture does not show it well though.Still a nice one.

Some of the guys had some nice fish today,as you can see in these pictures.Three or four had their limits,some had 3-4,some one etc...Some struggled and couldnt but a keeper like myself.Everytime I casted out today I just got stuck.Oh well,welcome to Toggin!!!But overall not a bad day.See ya in the morning.Tomorrow looks nice again.

 

12-10-11 Flat calm again today,with a light breeze out of the Northwest.Started off this morning with decent life,saw fish coming up here and there around the boat.Picked at em early in other words,not good but we were picking.Then after about an hour I saw a tide line coming down the beach and thought  maybe it would turn the fishing on a little better considering last Saturday they chewed with the current in the same direction,but it was just the opposite.Kinda shut the fishing down really.It was a struggle after the tide started ripping down the beach.We caught some fish but it was not good.High hook had three keepers,few two keepers,some one and alot none.Just not enough for the crowd we had.Pool fish proabably went about six pounds.Tomorrow we are not sailing due to a private tournament.Sorry,see ya Monday.

The pool winner I do believe.

12-9-11 The ocean today was flat calm and beautiful.South afternoon breeze picked it up to a chop late but other than that very nice.I had to redo the report,I really cant say it was slow today,we did have alot of bites,just biting kinda funny.Chewing it leaving it alone kinda think..High hook had eight keepers,numerous shorts.Peter ended up catching his limit to.Some had around 4-5 keepers,some 2-3,1 keeper etc..Some got skunked,but overall I would say it was fair.Tomorrow sounds like a nice day,see ya in the morning.Biggest fish today went about 8-9 lbs.Remember this sunday we are not sailing open due to a private trip>

12-8-11 No fishing today,got some maintenance done,and wow was it windy.The ocean is flat calm though with that west wind.Tomorrow looks like a really nice day!!Just as long as your not a crab!See ya in the morning>

12-7-11 

Large fish continue to dominate the pool each day.Scott nailed this 12 lbr.and decided to let him breed some more,he let him live after this picture.Swam away nicely.

Kevin K.had a double limit easily today and had monster bites all day.He did best swinging at the fish all day long.and producing!Not like me,I was just swinging.

Kevin did a great job feeding the fish today but he did manage this nice female which he let go to grow some more after taking this picture.I can feel his pain because I was feeding em as well or catching throwbacks!We had a decent bite today,some guys did well as usual and other were just feeding em but good life with big fish and and everything down the line to throwbacks.Tomorrow(thursday)looks nasty,we were lucky we made it out today,I would suggest staying at home.Probably gonna get some maintenance done.

12-6-11 A little drizzle this morning kept the crowd to a minimum,so we had lots of room to move around today.First drop yielded 4-5 keeper togs,some shorts.It did not last long so we moved and made two more drops for the day and caught fish on both.I wont say it was great fishing,but it was not bad either.Some guys were on there game and had a high hook of 9 keepers.Another had seven,some 3-5,most had keepers though.Alot of bites,scratching,bumping the baits,,caught quite a few small fish to.Pool fish was nice fish that went 10 lbs,check it out below.They were chewing both green and whites but I think the high hooks today used all whites.Remember this sunday we will not be sailing open boat due to a private tournament.

Drew from Philly took home the pool fish with his personal best at 10 lbs!!!

12-5-11 Fog.That was the word of the day.All day.Nice though,flat calm.So calm it made anchoring a little challenging.Overall we had good fishing.Some had real good catchig,Yuginn had over double his limit,some had 7-8 keepers.Some had 3,4,keepers,some one etc....Some got the skunk.Typical blackfishing with some guys catching em good and some just feeding em all day.No names mentioned!!!Some monster bites I watched today,some nice fish caught and lost again.Check out the pics!!!!

This man was tough to beat today,this one he caught but he busted off fish that made this one look small!

You know they were biting if Dj got a nice one!Tomorrow looks good see ya then!

12-4-11 

Mooooose!!!This fish went 13lbs.today.I watched him hook this fish and thought there is now way he is getting this fish off the bottom.But he did,nice one!

Jimmy had a moose also,and some other nice ones to go with it!!

Only a face a Mudda could love!!

First ever keeper Blackfish!!Way to go Kid!!!

The fishing today was not fast like yesterday.For a big crowd the bow did best.Blackfish Bobby and Yuginn both around 9-10 keepers each,some had 3-5 etc....But most of the fish were caught by guys fishing in the bow with white leggers.And they were doing alot of casting around to get the bites.If you didnt do that you had a tough day.Especially tough on the first timers who came blackfishing.But boy did we have some nice fish onboard today,and just think of the ones we shaved off!!!Tomorrow looks real nice again like today,flat calm,warm and beautiful.See ya tomorrow.

12-3-11 Good day to be out.Flat calm for the most part,crisp and cool,north wind about ten knots.Fish were chewing right off the get go,and it did not stop all day.All sizes,throwbacks up to 8lbs.Some guys had double limits,even the rental rods were catching some fish.Just a pretty good blackfish chew.Tomorrow looks good again.Check out some pics of just some of the fish today.

This Tog team hammered the fish today!!!!!!Non-stop,all day!

Hopefully they chew again tomorrow.See ya then.

12-2-11 Flat calm and beautiful out here today.Fish were in the mood early on to.Had plenty of bites first thing this morning,and some nice fish coming over the rail.Some guys had three nice keepers withing the first hour then the wind switched and it turned the bite off like a switch.Then we kinda just picked an occasional keeper here and there.Made a few moves and more of the same,just a pick hereand there.Chewed alittle better by the end of the day,and for another average weekday crowd we ended up with some nice fish scattered around the boat.More guys today had 3-4 keepers,high hook I believe had 5 keeps,but definately alot better fishing that yesterday,and more keepers around the boat.If they stayed chewing this morning we have done real well.Biggest fish I would say went around 7lbs,and some other nice close ones mixed in.Needless to say we  also busted off some nice fish again today.The weekend is looking good,come take a crack at a Jumbo Tog!!!

12-1-11 Pretty nice day on the water,but it was a bit more like fall.Fishing was on the slow side today.Picked some fish but most did not do to well.Few guys had 2-3 keepers,some one and some did not do to good.Missed some nice fish to some sharp rocks,picking the baits,scratching,kinda a tough day.Little Stevie won the pool money with a 6-7 lb.fish.Tomorrow is looking nice again!!See ya tomorrow.

11-30-11

Heidi had her first Tog trip today and landed a nice one!!!

Monster ground swell greeted us as we approached the inlet this morning.Surf was up for sure but once we got clear of the inlet is was actually pretty nice on the water.Did not look to see many fish come up today due to the swell but as soon as we came tight on the anchors Dj had a big fish on and busted him off.Then we actually had decent life despite the swell with fair amount of short fish,some decent bites but missed alot due to the swell pushing us around and an occasional keeper mixed in..In the end few guys had 3-4 keeps,some 1-2,and some got the skunk but better than I thought it was gonna be.Tomorrow looks real nice,see ya then.

11-28-11 Turned out to be a nice day on the water.The south wind never came up to hard,and it was warm with just a light chop.Fairly light crowd gave everyone room to move around a bit.The fish were biting but you did have to work for it.Sometimes they were aggressive,and sometimes they would back off and you would have to wait.Few guys had 4-5 keepers,some 2-4,some just one keep but overall a decent day,with some nice fish caught,the pool fish was a jumbo over ten pounds,maybe even eleven.Check out some pics.

Jimmy redeemed himself today with this Slob!!Over ten easy,maybe 11-12.

Ronni had some nice ones today.

Some nice ones were chewing again,like yesterday we shave off some lunkers in the rocks.But not all of em!!

11-27-11 Good day on the Tog Grounds.First stop had fishing coming pretty quick.Then it kinda just died out.Only made one other drop after that and slowly we managed to bang away at the blackfish.Sometimes they would bite good,guys would be swinging all around the boat.Other times it would slow down and nothing would be happening.But we kept at it and some very nice fish came over the rail up to 9lbs.Fair amount of short fish and everything inbetween.Some guys had over there limit easily while other had just one or two,and again everything inbetween.Fish were chewing both greenies and whites today.Blackfish Bobby and his crew once again put on a show staying at the rail pulling fish all day.Ritchi Wong also did pretty good to.But all in all we had a good day.Just some did better than others.Just check out some the nice fish here from today.

The Tog master once again proved deadly to the blackfish today.

His son Andrew had a good day as well.RJ was also there,Im not sure who had high hook?

Tog Team Cooler.

Some first time Blackfisherman had their first keepers!

The peach got lucky and found a dumb one.

Ritch has been catchcing some nice ones past few days.

11-26-11 Wow,was it nice on the ocean today.Flat calm,and sunny.Warm,almost September like.The early morning had some fish chewing.Around the boat we had a blackfish com eup here and there,nothing special but we picked at em.Some small ones,some keepers.Eventually a tide line went through and shut the bite down almost completely.Just picked an occasional fish then.Moved around a little and did not have many bites.The afternoon brought a wind switch and we managed to pick at some more keeepers,some nice ones to,check out the pics.Overall not a good bite,and for a crowded boat it was not good.Pool fish today was a nice fish over 10lbs.A few fish also today 6-8lbs.See ya tomorrow.

Vanessa showed the boys in the back how it is done!!!

Check out this piggy!I believe this fish took home the pool.Good one over ten,maybe eleven.

I gotta get a new camera,my pictures are way off.Nice fish though!

11-25-11 A popular day the Friday after Thanksgiving brought the fisherman out.We had a good size group show up to go after the blackfish.Pretty ocean conditions also.The bite was off a bit,scratchy bites,playing with the bait type action.Some guys did catch fish,I would say the bow was the best catching most of the fish.Tommy fish nutz had five keepers,Bobby Kojac had four keeepers.Some up there had 2-3 etc....The rest of the boat struggled not getting in on some action.A fish here and there type thing.The pool fish actually was caught in the middle of the boat,check him out below.Some just fed the fish all day.Some were stuck all day.Typical blackfishing.Tomorrow looks nice again!!!Seemed like the white legged crabs worked the best again.Most of the keepers were caught on those.

Check out Mike and this large male.I believe he took home the money!!Nice one at that to worth over 650 bucks!!!

Check out Blackfish Bobby and his gang. Bobby again caught fish all day long,he ended up with nine keepers and his crew also put fish in the box to add to the catch.

11-22-11 

The Tog Master and one of his victims today.Blackfish Bobby put a show on for those who came out today.He destroyed the blackfish catching his limit by nine thirty this morning,then caught my limit,then Jeffs limit,then Steves limit,then Djs limit,Yes,five limits.Others did well to,we had bites all day and did not even have to pick the anchors up once today except to come home.Good day all around,the white leggers were key to getting the good bites but we did catch fish on the green crabs as well.Tomorrow looks like a wash,I would probably stay home.Thanksgiving looks iffy also.

11-21-11 Monday morning gave us some damp condtions and a light breeze out of the Northeast.Perfect blackfish weather.Shame only a light crowd of around twenty came out to play because the bigger fish were chewing,as you can see in the pictures below.Pool fish went over ten pounds I would guess,and high hooks had their limit and some even had 3-4 over there limit helping out some of the unfortunate ones.Stayed close and shallow only making two drops on stuff that has been dead the past few days but a different wind direction got me thinking the bigger males would chew in this kind of weather,in the pictures you can see all the big fish today were the males which we have not been seeing the past four days.Not all had the touch today,some just could not get in the groove but as is the case alot of times(actually almost everyday we have this)with blackfishing but overall a decent bite.

These are not the same fish,but two different nice ones,and the pool fish above.

Nice one from the bow.

Our high hook was on fire today,pulling in fish all day long.

Lenny did good today,he had his limit of keepers and quite a few shorts.

One of the first nice ones to come up today!

11-20-11 Well we did have a better day than yesterday,the ocean was real nice again and for a busy day onboard some caught some fish and some struggled.The bites were not fast and furious,they were picking at the bait quite a bit,leaving it alone.Being pretty shy.Some spots had almost no life at all besides perch.But the bow seemed to have the best of it.The guys up front caught most of the fish today with some having 5 keeps,numerous shorts.Some between 2-4keeps etc....It also seemed they were getting good bites up there on whole small white leggers.Especially at the end of the day.Keep that in mind for tomorrow.

Bow people.It was tough up there in the wind today but they ended up catching some fish.I do believe the pool winner was caught up there today also.See ya tomorrow.

11-19-11 I could say we picked some fish,few here and there,stop the boat saw some life,then it would die,lots of shorts etc....,but that would just be covering up the fact that it SUCKED TODAY.High hook only had four keeper togs.Few others scattered here and there but pretty poor today.Hopefully we will see a turn around tomorrow.See ya then!

11-18-11 Nice morning,cool and calm.South tide moving us along as we traveled north.Bites were slow finding this morning.Very picky,some were getting some bites and some just could not get a bite.Stayed like that most of the day,very spotty.Fish here and there but most of the bites were all in the front of the boat.High hook did have eight keeper blackfish,few had 4-5,Peter I believe in the back had 5-6.Some guys had alot of bites,only catching a dozen shorts.But overall for a good size group it was no good,like I said,very limited areas around the boat today got the bite.Pool fish went about 6-7lbs.I think that current today kinda slowed it down.Tomorrow looks very nice again.See ya intheam.

11-17-11 Today was one of those nasty cold,wet,numbing kinda blackfish weather kind of days.If that makes any sense.Well to me it was anyway,you all know how much I like the cold air.But it was good blackfish weather and from the first minute I blew the horn this morning they were chewing.Stayed that way most of the day.Sometimes it would slow down to just an occasional bite here and there,actually alot today it was very area orientated.Certain parts of the boat at certain times had a good bite while other parts you had to move to find the bite.Typical blackfishing.But at the end we had good catch put together for a decent crowd.Some caught over there limit,)Bobby Korsen had high hook with 9 keepers)some had 4-5,some 2-3,some just one.We even had a limit caught before 10 oclock this morning,while some could not get a keeper until late.Fair amount of shorts,mixed in.Billy the dentist redeemed himself with the pool fish and four keepers at the end.Nice fish,it went about 8 lbs.Tomorrow the ocean conditions look flat calm like today.Come on and get in on Toggin.See ya then.

11-16-11 Besides a little bit of rain today it was actually pretty nice on the water.Basically flat calm with only a light breeze keeping us tight on the anchors.Morning started off with blackfish chewing pretty quick.Basically we caught Togs all day,good amount of shorts and good average of keepers mixed in.Some guys had there limit by lunch time while some others struggled.A usual circumstance,some days your on your game blackfishing,and some days your not.But overall most everyone had fish to go home with,just some did better than others.Pool fish went around 6-7lbs I would guess.Northwest winds tomorrow,so it should be good again,especially since we are fishing in close to the beach.See ya tomorrow.

11-15-11 Only had a small crowd show up today despite pretty nice condtions on the water.No rain,and the ocean was nice.Jumped around on some small spots today and had some very good fishing.We had nice sea bass,high hooks had dozen to fifteen.We had nice Codfish,good showing of those,both keepers and throwbacks,we had some nice ling,and some very nice blackfish.And check out the picture below,the biggest tog of the day was over eleven pounds!!!Real nice fish.Good sign for tomorrow!!Tomorrow for opening day of blackfish we might get some rain but the winds look light,so it should be good.Just bring a rainsuit!We go rain or shine!

Jumbo Tog!!!

Lindens cooler was looking good with a nice catch of Codfish and Sea Bass!

11-13-11 Started out with decent conditions this morning.The bite was on to with sea bass coming over the rail every drop we made today.Fair amount of throwbacks and you picked through them and most ended up with a batch of keepers.Some keeper blackfish rounded off the catch.The ocean got pretty lumpy by lunch time though,hopefully it lays down for tomorrow.Check out some of the nice fish we caught today.

Couple of Jumbos

11-12-11 Made our way out today with nice conditions.The winds did pick up though and the seas stayed around 3-5ft.like anticipated.Made some drops and found life on all,some sea bas,some codfish,some blackfish and even ling.Some did decent with high hook having 10 bass,a cod,and a jumbo pool winning ling that must have weighed 7lbs.It was a big Ling@!Some did not fare to well,and only had a few.But that is the case alot of days.We did see the blackfish chewing at the end of the day,some managed to get a nice one to go home with.Some even had couple two,three togs.See ya tomorrow.

Check out Lingzilla.Had to of been 26-27 inches long.

11-10-11 Another flat calm day,foggy and misty though made it a bit damp out.Fishing was fair with a steady pick at both short sea bass and keeper bass.If you worked at it high hooks had a dozen keeper sea bass.Low,3-6.But again we some nice ling,and codfish mixed in to spice up the catch.Also some blackfish.High hook on the ling were Bill and Al,they had at least 25 between em.Pool fish was a ten pound Codfish.So overall everyone had some nice fish to go home with.Tomorrow is going to be quite breezy out of the west.Not sure whats gonna happen,I guess we shall see what it looks like in the morning.The weekend though is looking real nice.

11-9-11 Good,warm,weather,Flat calm seas.Much smaller crowd today,but still a nice gang.Slow and steady was the fishing description today.We just slowly picked at the fish today but it really was pretty decent.Sea bass made up most of the catch again,but we also had a pretty decent showing of codfish also.Some nice blackfish,and even some ling showed up.No giant numbers of bass but some did pretty well,and had cod,ling and even blackfish on top of there catch of bass.Overall a very good day,just check out some of the pics.See ya tomorrow.

Ralph will always bring his lucky small cooler from now on,boy did he have some nice bass and cod today.

How about this for a cooler of fish!

Nice Tog!!

Nice bass!!!

11-8-11 Election day today and some beautiful weather brought out the fisherman today.Pretty much standing room only onboard.It was worth it though,beautiful seas and warm weather.Bounced around today,made alot of drops,and had life on all of em.Not as good as the day before,but we picked at the bass most drops we made and had some nice blackfish and a few cod as well.So overall it was just a fair day bass wise,some nice tog,and the pool fish took home a large pool which was a nice cod about 8lbs.Looks good for tomorrow,see ya then.

11-7-11 Dont get much better,that's what you could say about today.Flat calm and beautiful.And the fish were biting.Sea bass,Codfish,and Blackfish.Mostly sea bass,but we had some good shots of cod,and tog to.Most guys did well on the bass and even had 1-2 keeper codfish and a blackfish to add to the bass.As always we had some that struggled a bit,not saying any names other that 'the dead zone'but overall we had a real nice catch of fish today with lots of action.Look forward to tomorrow and some good weather and should be good fishing again!!Check out some pics!!!

Santa was on some large bass today!!

How about some of these nice fish!!

First keeper Tog ever!!!

How about two keeper Cod to go along with some Sea Bass!

Check out what Barnegat Bob caught early this morning.Triple Crown of bottom fish,Keeper Cod,Blackfish,and Sea Bass!!!

Check out Nicolas and his slammer bluefish he landed today!!!

11-6-11 Very pretty day on the ocean today,flat calm.Sunny and warm.Had pretty good life on most spots we hit today.Bass were chewing pretty good for us,some nice ones,good amount of shorts,everything in between.For the pretty large gang we had today most had some nice fish to go home with,high hooks had around a dozen nice ones.Some had 8-10,etc...and down from there.Some keeper blackfish,a few short cod,might have had one keeper,lots of dogfish,couple of ling,plenty of action.Tomorrow and the rest of the week look pretty nice!!!See ya in the morning.Check out some pics of a few of the nice ones from today.

Good day out!!!!

11-5-11 This morning started out a little on the lumpy side.Northeast winds around twenty kts.gave the ocean a sea state of around 4-5ft.with a higher wave every once in a while.Nothing we are not used to fishing in but not for the faint of heart.So we slowly made our way out and was happy with the fishing we had today.Every spot yielded some fish,even some shallow spots which is a good sigz.Sea Bass made up most of the catch but we did have some nice codfish and blackfish come up over the rail.Hard to say any numbers but with a pretty good size crowd everyone seemed to have some nice fish,so I would say we had a good catch around the boat.The ocean by the end of the day flattened out nicely and tomorrow should be flat calm,and I look forward to the fish biting.It should be good,I would take advantage of the weather and the fishing!!!!Check out some pics!

Kevin had this nice cod and a mess of nice sea bass to go with it.

This blackfish was a tag-team operation,Jess hooked the fish and Brian(88 strong)got him out of the wreck.

One of the Jumbo Bass from today.Like I said up top,light winds tomorrow,it should be very nice!!!See ya in the morning.

11-4-11 Made it out today with a much smaller crowd,I guess most were scared of the forecast.The ocean got pretty breezy today,not to bad though.Maybe 3-4 waves with a small chop.Not bad at all,especially on the anchcor.Bounced around from spot to spot today,and had life on most.We picked away at the bass despite a pretty strong tide and some nasty bluesfish and dogfish attacking the baits,In the end some guys had a nice mess of sea bass,while some just had 3-4.A few small cods,some blackfish etc...Not a great day but we caught some fish.Look forward to getting back out tomorrow.Come out and get some bass!!!!

First time sea bassin and he had some nice ones!

11-3-11 Well the ocean finally calmed down today,actually pretty nice.Still a bit of a swell left over but nothing like the past few days.Fishing in the morning was very slow,almost no life so by ten or so I took a rode trip to get into some new grounds which turned out to have life on most of the spots I stopped(which were alot of em).Some you would get to pick at some keepers but alot of the bass were just undersized,so we moved around alot and in the end for a large crowd the catch was not that good.High hooks had 6-7 keeper bass,maybe a nice blackfish also.No codfish today.Maybe for a small crowd we would have had enough fish but not for the crowd we had today.Hopefully we shall see an improvement tomorrow!!!

11-2-11 Well the wind was calm and we were looking forward to a calm ocean this morning.Boy were we wrong.Got to the inlet this morning and were greeted by a monster ground swell.IT was HUGE!!!!Not rough but just big swells coming in from the east.Needless to say we did not have the fishing we had yesterday.We picked all day at the bass,some guys did much better than others.The bow was especially dead today for some reason.High hook on the bass went to Herbi who I noticed caught quite a few nice sea bass with a gulp glo tail.He had 15 nice bass.Others had a dozen,some eight,etc...Low hooks had around 5.We also a had about 6 nice keeper codfish and maybe 20 nice blackfish mixed in with the catch.So overall for a large crowd today we actually ended up with a decent catch but I had to work at it and made alot of drops to get everyone fish.Some just ended up better than others.But the ground swell definately hurt us today,as we speak it is dropping out and tomorrow looks awesome.See ya then,check out some piccs.

Herbi made me put this in for you Bob.

Chip just loves his blackfish!

11-1-11 I know alot of you are waiting for  the report for today,so here it goes.The ocean was angry today my friends.Not enough to keep us at the dock,but if you were prone to sea sickness you would have probably been sick.But when you saw double and triple header bass coming over the rail you quickly forgot about being sick.We hammered the sea bass today.As soon as I blew the horn every rod lapped over with bass tugging on the other end.Almost every drop had good life on em.You had to do some recycling with smaller bass but the nice ones were mixed in and everyone had fish to go home with.High hooks had close to their limit,and low hooks had a dozen or so of keeper bass.Some nice blackfish and some keeper Cods also rounded out the catch.Very good day,check out some pics.

 

How about that for a cooler full!!!

Everyone was in this position all day because you could not hit the bottom and start cranking up fish!

Representing Philly!

Nice bass Mets Fan!

Anna and her dad Matt did well today on their first Sea Bass trip!!!!

Roland said eat your heart out Sammy!!

Check out Sal and his double header Cod and Sea Bass.He hammered the fish today.

Just some more nice fish from today,see ya tomorrow.

 

10-31-11 Wow what a nice day.Flat calm and beautiful.Shame only a handful came out to enjoy it.Went out to the deep today and had the ling chewing.I would guess high hook had around 15-20 ling and some had a dozen etc....Just a few Cods,one a keeper I believe because I caught it!But overall a nice day.Tomorrow is first day of Sea Bass fishing.See ya in the Am.

10-30-11 Today(Sunday)was no good to go out,neither was yesterday.The ocean is pretty much flattened out though as we speak.A little ground swell left over but by the end of the afternoon it should be all gone.Tomorrow is looking very nice,almost no wind at all.So Monday should be be flat calm,we will be going back out to the mudhole to fish for Ling and Cod again.See ya in the morning.Tuesday we start Sea Bass fishing.The forecast looks pretty nasty for Tuesday,,gonna be lumpy out there out of the Northeast but we are going to plan on going anyway to catch the sea bass.So nice day tomorrow for the mudhole,and Tuesday on we will be after the sea bass.Any questions shoot me a text or email,or give me a call.Thanks.

10-28-11 Surprised that we actually made it out today with the nasty forecast they had up.Conditiions on the ocean were not that good though.Seas around 4-6ft.early this morning made it a lumpy ride out.Fishing was on the slow side also.Had alot to do with the ocean being lumped up but we did manage to catch some ling,high hook had around a dozen to fourteen.Couple of keeper cods.Just not the fishing we have been seeing.Really had to work at it today.Tomorrow is not looking good,I guess we shall see what it looks like in the morning.

10-26-11 Though it was going to get a little sloppy out on the ocean today,especially the way the wind started blowing this morning but complete opposite happened.The wind completey died out and was beautiful all day.Fishing was good again today,Ling made up most of the catch again with everyone going home with some nice fish.High hooks had 25 ling,low had 8-10,and some guys had 1-2 keeper codfish on top of the ling.Check out some pics.

10-25-11 Good fishing again today.Pretty close to yesterday with high hooks having again 25-30 Ling.Most had a good bucket full of 15-20,some a few less.Along with that we had some Cod mixed in as well.High hook had two keeper Cod along with the Ling.It was pretty windy today but the ocean never got rough.Sat nice on the anchor all day despite pretty windy conditions,and the current was light again.All around a good day out,tomorrow we will be back at it again.Come out and take advantage of some good fishing.

10-24-11 We had another real pretty day on the water.Flat calm and beautiful.Light current made fishing the deeper water nice.The ling were in the mood again and we put together a good catch of them with high hook having over 30.Others had fifteen to twenty ling,some 8-10,but it seemed most had a good bucket full.Along with those nice ling we had some decent Codfish coming over the rail also.Some of em 8-10 lbs.Check out some pics.We will be back at it again tomorrow.See ya then.

We will take these all day long along with the Ling!!!Look at the ocean,where were you today???

I think this fish was maybe the pool winner.

Nice Cod!!!!

Jumbo Ling Kid!!!!Nice one!!!

10-23-11 Weather was gorgeous today.Flat calm and sunny.Fish were on the feed also.We had a good day fishing out in the Mudhole with Ling making up most of the catch.Mixed in we had some Codfish,Striped bass,flounder,lobster,banana cod,all kinds of life,even had a whiting.Good fishing with high hook having 30 ling,some had as many as 25,some 15etc....Tomorrow looks just as good and we will be back fishing in the Mudhole.Pics...

Check out Nick and his nice Cod!!!

One of the nice coolers of ling,most did well,the secret ling killer today was a glo b-2 squid.

Would like to see some of these whiting come back some day.

Look at the size of this giant Ling that Mike caught.

10-22-11 Finally back out again with some nice weather.Due to the lack of life inshore we went back out to the deeper stuff and had another good day with the Codfish and Ling.Hit some deeper water wrecks and had good life on all of em.If you kept your sinker bouncing you ended up with a nice catch of ling and some guys had a keeper Codfish to go with em.Current was kinda strong so bring some heavier lead with you tomorrow.High hook had probably 15 ling,I myself had 14 and did not fish that much,so it looks good if you want to get some nice eating fish for dinner.Tomorrow is looking very nice,see ya in the morning.

10-18-11 Summer like conditions today.Flat calm and warm.Went deeper and fished the deeper water wrecks and had pretty good fishing.At times it was tough to sit on the anchor due to the lack of wind but when we did we had non stop action on the bottom.Some nice cod and some real large ling,some bigger than the cod were coming over the rail at almost any given time.Some double header Ling,some double header cod and ling,it was good.Made a few moves and had good fishing on everything today.Caught just about everything to,Ling,Cod,Fluke,Flounder,Eels,Sea Bass,Giant Perch,sharks,ghost fish,Banana Cod,you name it,we caught it today.Good fishing!!!And good eating.I guess we shall see what the weather does tomorrow.

10-17-11 Nice ocean conditions today.Sunny for the most part and warm.We did not have any luck today in the blackfish or porgy department.Strong current out of the south shut down any kind of bites for us today,unless you liked catching sea bass which we had to throwback.About the only thing we managed to catch were some bluefish that came into our spread.Tomorrow looks like a nice day again,probably gonna have to resort to hitting some deep water for some codfish and ling since sea bass have taken over most of the normal fishing grounds.We shall see in the morning.

10-16-11 We had a much nicer ocean today.Still breezy but that large ground swell was gone.Fishing was slow again,some porgies here and there but not good.Plenty of sea bass jumping on the hooks,some blackfish,puffers,etc....But not very productive today.Tomorrow I have better plans which involve giant Porgies and the weather looks great!!!See ya in the morning.

10-15-11 Started out with a nice morning but that quickly fell to pieces.It got windy like it was supposed to,but as the wind increased it came a little bit out of the south and the swell got pretty large.It made it a bit rolly on the anchor.Never got rough,but inbetween the wind and the swell it made it for a long day.Fishing needless to say was no good.A few keeper togs,some chops,and some very nice sea bass we had to throwback.Not a good day.But at least we were out.See ya tomorrow.

10-11-11 Started out this morning with a Ne breeze around ten knots.A bit choppy,not to bad though.Anchored up and had some decent life quick,perch life that is.Few porgy,couple small togs.Next drop we picked at the porgy,some keeper blackfish.Nothing that good though,unless you call throwing back XL Sea Bass back good.Wow,did that hurt.Double header Jumbos,hope they stick around.In the end some guys had maybe ten keeper chops,and some only had a couple.Some had keeper togs,some really did not have much to show either.Tomorrow is not looking favorable,guys winds out of the east.I guess we will take a look at it in the morning.

10-10-11 We had another super day on the ocean,condition wise that is.Actually hot our here again,no breeze to speak of at all.Just a little tide to anchor into.Fishing was alot slower than we have seen the past few days.Just a pick most spots we stopped at.Some porgy action here and there but no large numbers.There were quite a few blackfish bites,alot of shorts but some guys did get some keepers up to 3lbs.See ya tomorrow.

10-9-11

Check out Nick and one of his large Togs he caught today.The blackfish were on the chew most spots we stopped today.Those fishing for them had no problem getting a bite.Most of the customers today were porgy fishing though,and we actually had a pretty good pick at them most of the day in most spots we stopped.Sometimes it was spotty,one here and there.Other times I would see them come up all around the boat.Some large ones to,along with some small ones.In the end we had a good catch,some areas of the boat did better than others,but overall a good day.And talk about weather!!!Best weather I think I have ever had out here in the fall.Looks good again tomorrow!!!

10-8-11

The mates had alot of filleting to do on the way home today.The porgies chewed pretty well most of the day up until the end.At times it was limited to certain areas of the boat but we did well overall with plenty of Jumbos coming over the rail.Some keeper blackfish mixed in to.Unbelievable weather out here today!!Tomorrow looks the same.See ya then.

10-7-11 

Kojac did it again!!He blackfished all day and caught this Jumbo Chop on a crab.Took home the pool money with this monster.

Fishing was good today with a nice Porgy biteIf you were not losing your bait and swinging you were reeling in a nice fish..Alot of the fish were large and xl like this one above.They put up a killer fight on fluke like tackle,so come down and bring your light sinkers and fluke rods and do some battle.The weekend looks great and these fish are awesome to eat!!!!You should see what a double header of these feel lilke.Today 3-4oz.sinkers were good and small hooks we have here onboard.So see ya this weekend!!!Check out Linden below here with a nice double!!

Giant double header!!!!

10-6-11 We had another nice day today,fish were chewing pretty good early on then by lunchtime it slowed down and it was kinda slow the rest of the day.But in the morning the Jumbo Porgies were biting.Few blackfish again,plenty of short blackfish actually if you were fishing for them.See ya tomorrow.

10-5-11 Once again a very nice day out on the water.Flat calm and beautiful.The fish were chewing again,a bit more spotty than yesterday,we had to do some moving around to keep the bite going.The best action seemed when we would stop the boat,we would get a good shot and then have to pick at them.But some did good,picking at the porgy and some even had the blackfish going as well,but you definately had to work at it to put some fish in the box today,a little luck helped also.Biggest Tog went around 5lbs.and some of the porgies were pretty large also.We had some real heartbreak seabass we had to throwback today,actually more today than we have seen lately.Some blowfish,some blues,actually quite a bit of life.Real nice day,and tomorrow is looking even better.See ya then.

10-4-11 Made it out today with only a light crowd,shame cause the ocean was beautiful.Fish were on the chew again also.Made only one drop most of the day and had the porgies chewing along with some nice blackfish.Guys who were on there game had no problem landing a nice load of chops.Those fishing the crabs also got into some nice blackfish.So overall we had a decent bite most of the day,not great but we ended up with a good catch of fish.Even though it got a bit breezy the ocean was flat calm because of the Northwest  wind direction.Tomorrow is looking like the same so dont let the weather man fool you!!!!Looking real good the rest of the week!!!!Come out and get in on some action!

10-2-11Weather man got it wrong again today.Very nice on the ocean and sunny all day.Calm seas and the fish were in a much better mood compared to yesterday.We had a decent blackfish chew at times,and a decent porgy chew at times as well.We even had a keepers Codfish.No massive numbers or anything but it was Ok.today.Check out some pics.

Dean had some real nice blackfish today!!This is just one of the many

Another nice one.

The hambone was on the meat with both big porgies and some nice Togs.

Inshore Codfish that ate a green crab.See ya tomorrow!

10-1-11 We started out on a very nice ocean this morning.Stayed like that all day,just flat calm and nice.First drop we had decent life with both porgy and blackfish chewing.The sea bass were pretty thick again also.Not enough to keep us busy though keeper wise so we moved on and even ended up in the channels up north looking for a hot porgy bite my buddy had going on all morning but by the time I got there it was almost over.We had maybe 15 or so porgy come up and it just shut down.Next few stops we had some keeper blackfish along with some nice size porgy(couple of the chops were giants!) and again some giant sea bass but just not enough keepers.So overall it was a slow day for us.Pool winner did take home a nice pool though worth 430 bucks!!!That blackfish went about 3-4 lbs.See ya tomorrow!

9-30-11 Nice ocean conditions and the fish were in a better mood today.Plenty of bites most of the places we stopped.The blackfisherman were busy with the crabs,high hooks had six keeper togs.Some guys tried and failed with only shorts but we had a good number of keepers.The porgy fisherman on a couple of stops managed some real nice chops,no high numbers but I would say high hook had maybe a dozen of em.Some real heartbreak sea bass also came over the rail.Overall a good day with a decent catch onboard.Check out some pics.

Bobby K.took home the money today with this nice Tog,even though he had his doubts when he saw Blackfish Bobby show up to fish this morning.

Its rare to beat him but Kojac did beat out the Tog King up above hear.

Check out his heartbreaker!!

Check out this puffer we caught.

9-29-11 

Check out our new up and coming blackfisherman.Austin had his first keeper Tog today and I think he is hooked!We picked at some blackfish today,along with the scup.Not good though,the porgies were just not chewing good.Plenty of sea bass bites,which had to go back,and a couple of blowfish which we dont see that much of.Slow overall today but we did manage some fish.See ya tomorrow.

9-28-11

Herbi took home the money today.We had a pick at the fish today,some porgy,some blackfish and some nice ones as you can see up top here.The bites would come and go but good action most of the time.Most of the chops were good size to,but they were finicky again.Nice day out with only a light crowd.Remeber we are carrying both crabs and clams for bait.Come out and get in on some these nice fish.

One of the nice chops we are catching!

9-27-11 Nice ocean conditions,not much in the way of wind at all.Foggy again this morning,crazy weather for September.Feels more like May with this fog we have been having.First stop today we had good life again,had some Porgies coming up pretty quick and some blackfish as well.Then it died out a bit,just pick a porgy here and there,not that good.Made some moves and everywhere we went we would just a pick a few Chops,some nice ones at that but just not nearly the good bite we have been seeing.The Togs were chewing,not as good as yesterday but they were on every drop.Even made it out deeper and tried some deeper stuff today,the sea bass seemed to be to thick though.Looks good for tomorrow,see ya in the am.

9-26-11 Besides a little fog today the weather was very nice and the ocean flat calm.The sun was even out most of the morning and afternoon.Started out with the porgies biting early but for some reason they stopped chewing and we just picked at some the rest of the day.Nothing like we had over the weekend but we did manage to catch some.The blackfish were chewing there heads off.Everyone had a nice tog to go home with along with some chops.Even George had his first four keeper togs today along with plenty of shorts.Lots of heartbreak seabass we threw back to today.Gonna be back at it tomorrow.See ya in the morning.

9-25-11 Another beautiful day,not rain,sunny and warm.First drop and only drop today we had non-stop great fishing for some giant Porgy.They just stayed under the boat all day and we hammered em.Those who got tired of these bruisers got the crabs out and had good blackfishing to.Just a cast out and you had a tog chewing.Good fishing,the porgies are all giant and when you get a double header you were in for a battle.Really alot of fun and great to eat!!See ya tomorrow.

9-24-11 Weatherman was wrong again.No rain all day.Flat calm and beautiful.Most were scared away with the forecast and it was a shame because we had some great fishing today.First stop was no good but our second drop we set up on some rocks and hammered some giant porgies.Double headers and all for quite a while today until the tide dropped out,then we picked at em the rest of the day.Those blackfishing had no problem catching them also,but most today got in on the porgy action.Real good fishing and everyone had bags of fillets to go home with.We will be back at it again tomorrow.Dont let the weatherman scare you away.See ya in the am.

9-22-11 The rain held off most of the day,just a sprinkle here and there.Sun even came out and it got warm.Made it through some fog here and there to the fishing grounds in a flat calm sea.No fluke again today,but the blackfish were chewing.Fish up to 5-6lbs.took home the pool money.Everyone had a keeper Tog to eat for dinner.Then we bounced around a few spots looking for some Porgies and found the action slow today on them.I fished for em for a little while and had maybe 6 nice ones and some throwbacks.Most actually seemed to just keep catching blackfish and letting them go.Most of the spots had alot of life on them,even some giant sea bass but  came over the rail but had to be put back.Couple of triggerfish also.All around a very nice day out!!!Again!!!!

9-21-11 Very nice on the water today.Started out looking for some fluke again and only had some shorts.Pretty much what I have been hearing all around.You can catch a few fluke but mostly all shorts,not much in the way of keepers.Actually the nicest fish I have heard caught lately has been on the boats bottom fishing.We decided again to bring some crabs and clam along to catch something and it was good once we got anchored up.Lots of bits and before long everyone had a nice blackfish to go home with.No porgies on our first drop so we went looking for some and found some real nice ones a couple of miles away but it was very picky.Best was in the bow,I had a handful of nice Jumbos Chops,and a few scattered around here and there.Caught quite a few more Togs to,and let most go due to our limit.In the end a real nice day with everyone going home with fish for dinner.Tomorrow looks nice and calm again,just a bit of rain but dont let that deter you!!!Looks nice!!!

9-20-11 The ocean had bit of a ground swell left over today but other than that it was pretty calm and nice all day.Fluke fishing was slow again like we have seen lately.Just not good at all.We could have spent the day fishing for them but it was just not worth it.We only had a light crowd,but they wanted to catch fish so we anchored up and started blackfishing and were not dissapointed.It was lock and load toggin with everyone,even those who have never blackfished before settting up on some nice fish.If you were not swinging at a fish you were losing your bait.It was really good.Needless to say everyone had a nice Blackfish to go home with and there were some Jumbo size Porgies mixed in for those who were fishing with the clams.We are carrying both fluke bait,crabs for the blackfish and clams for the Porgies.Covering all bases.As for tomorrow,it looks good again.Dont let the weatherman scare you with the chance of showers,the fish are already wet!!!The ocean will be calm,thats what is important.

9-18-11 Lumpy ocean to say the least out there again today.To fast to drift so we had to anchor up to catch some fish.Made two stops and got most a nice blackfish to go home with,they were chewing good.Saw some throwback sea bass and a couple of nice triggerfish.Got the day in,but it was uncomfortable out there.Hopefully it lays down some tonite.See ya tomorrow.

9-17-11 We had a good breeze out of the Northeast early today,made it a bit lumpy most of the day.Drifting was difficult and made fishing to say the least.Only had some short fluke most of the morning.By lunch time we decided to anchor up and make it a little easier for everyone to fish and had fish on pretty quick.Some real nice sea bass came over the rail which we had to throwback,but the blackfish were chewing immediately as you put a crab down.It was lock and load again with them and most that new what to do got a nice keeper to go home with.Tomorrow is questionable with the winds a bit harder but we shall see in the morning what it looks like.

9-16-11 We only had a few people show up to fish,guess the cool weather scared most away.Shame because it was a really nice day to get out.We took the handful we had out anyway and spent the morning drifting for some flukes.We did catch some,had maybe three keeper fluke along with a dozen or so shorts.Not good,but we did catch some.Then we anchored up to try something a bit different cause I was in the need to kill some fish,and I was not dissapointed.We had some crabs onboard and in short time the blackfish were flying in the boat.As fast as you could get a crab to the bottom you were getting nailed.Bobby Kojac limited the boat out in about half an hour.We released a large number of Togs back to see another day.Along with that we had some nice triggers,a keeper Striped Bass,and the bluefish were wrecking anything that swam near the boat.It was like National Geographic channel,pretty cool stuff.Even five pound blackfish were not safe from the blues!!Tomorrow is looking nice,give me a call if you want to come slay some fish!!!!!See ya in the morning.

9-14-11 We had another summer like day today,and the ocean was warm and comforatble.Took off in a different direction this morning to look for some better action on the fluke and we did find it.It was actually pretty good fishing once I got dialed in but the only problem was that the fish were mostly throwbacks.Only a few keepers again today but it was good action with the fluke.Lots of robins,some skates,and a few blues rounded off the catch.Tomorrow looks good,just a chance of some rain showers but looks more like the afternoon.

9-13-11 Pretty nice again out on the water again today but we had some screwy drifting conditions most of the day which I feel kinda hurt us.We only had a few keeper fluke and not nearly as many shorts that we have been seeing.That being said it was a tough day all around.Tomorrow though is another day and we will be back at it.Actually looks real nice again.

9-12-11 We had much nicer ocean conditions today.Flat calm and beautiful.Fishing was a bit slower than yesterday,just because I think our drift was much slower,actually no drift at times,had to power drift a bit today just to keep moving.But we did catch fluke,some keepers,mostly shorts.Maybe five keepers,and maybe each guy had between 5-10 throwbacks.So the fish are there,just got to work for them a bit.Tomorrow is looking very nice again.See ya in the morning.

9-11-11 We got back out today with only a light crowd.Conditions were not that nice with a gusty Northeast breeze greeting us at the inlet this morning.Took a slow ride out to the grounds and actually had not so bad conditiions on the drift.And we got into the fish pretty quick.We ended up landing some keeper fluke almost immediately where we left em the day before.Actually compared to yesterday it was good.Short fluke each drift kept us busy most of the time,and a keeper mixed in here and there kept it interesting.We had two people with 2 keepers each,and fair amount of shorts,some with one keeper and shorts,etc...Maybe ten keepers on the boat.If you did not get a keeper which most did,you had 7-12 shorts I would guess.Not bad for a small crowd..So fishing has bounced back,and there are still fluke around!!With the winds going west,south west tomorrow and some better conditions I think it will be even better.See ya in the am.

9-10-11 Finally back out after some days off due to the hurricane.Fishing was slow to say the least,just a few shorts early this morning.The current for the first half of the day was screaming,12oz.of lead was needed just to hold bottom.Along with the short fluke we had some blues,robins,a lizard fish,a almaco jack,and some other odds and ends.Not until the current let up this afternoon did we see one keeper fluke,and we did pick away at the short fluke in the area we were last week so it is an encouraging sign for tomorrow.Karen from Lancaster took home the pool money with her keeper..Here is Karen and her pool winner!

A keeper was tough to come by,but she got one!!!

9-4-11 We started out with decent conditions early today.Fishing was not as productive though as previous days.Still had some short fluke life,but just an occasional keeper mixed in.Most we had was three keepers on a drift.Just picked a few here and there but some nice ones.Mr.Han had the pool fish today with one about 6-7lbs.It took home over four hundred bucks!!Yuginn had high hook with four keepers,but like I said not as many keepers as previous days spread out around the boat.The conditions kinda hurt us also,our drift in the afternoon was over 2kts.Check out our pool winner below.

You should have seen how thick this fish was!!It was tough to beat on the pool scale.

9-3-11 Got back out to where we left em yesterday and got into the fish quick.Again,plenty of bites with a decent drift.Around the boat we see plenty of short fluke come up with a keeper mixed in.In the end a couple of the guys of front had the high hooks with a catch of five keepers,and a catch of four keeper fluke up to 6lbs.Other keepers scattered around the boat but like I said,lots of fluke caught but you did have to recycle alot.Mike Garone took home a nice pool with his 6-7lb.pool winner,along with three other fat ones.

9-2-11 We made it back out to the area we found the life in yesterday and had fish on within seconds of me blowing the horn.Pretty much stayed like that all day,very good fishing with fluke coming up almost the whole time we drifted.We had to recycle alot of the fish but mixed in each drift for a fair size crowd along with maybe 75 throwbacks a drift we would see anywhere from 2-6 keepers a drift with our best drift having 8 keepers and the worst was just one keeper.Obviously not everyone got into the keepers but alot did. Good fishing overall.Had a handful of fish over 3lbs,couple 4-5lbs and the pool fish probably just under six pounds.Looks good for the weekend!!!!See ya then.

Check out Bobby Kojac in the backround,trying to get in on his friends nice fish!!!His hangover today kept him from getting any keepers but he put a hurtin on the shorts!!!

Nice fish,they are even getting some color back I noticed today.

Saw a couple of double headers today.

Check out the exotic species today,can you name that one??

Even though she caught a nice one,she did not want to touch it!!As you can tell,she was telling me to hurry up and take it!!

9-1-11 

For those of you that dont live near the ocean,just look at what we have been fishing in the past few days.Absolutely gorgeous ocean conditions.Today I tried to get back into the area we were catching fish before the storm,boy was that a mistake!!We basically caught nothing all morning.Just a few sea bass.There was just no life,so I backtracked a bit and actually found pretty good life on some offshore stuff.Some nice fluke,fair amount of short fluke,some robins,lots of skates etc....But overall if we would have spent the whole day in this area we would have done decent I think.Check out some of the keeper fluke from today.Pat Farley had the high hook with two keepers.Looking forward to getting back into this area tomorrow.See ya then.

NIce sea bass from yesterday.

8-31-11 Another pretty day out,flat calm and beautiful.Started out catching fluke pretty quick.Picked away at the short fish,maybe 15 or so a drift,not many keepers though.Maybe 1-2 at most for three or so drifts.Then the wind let up and our drift did also and we struggled for a while.Moved around a bit,stopped on a few wrecks and a few rocks and caught some real nice sea bass.Some ended up with some large bass to make up for the fluke which helped out.Most had some fluke or bass to eat for dinner,some did not but I would say most did which is good.Water cleaned up alot since yesterday to  so we should see an improvement in both the fluke and the bass as the week goes on given some good conditions.Tomorrow looks very nice again,see ya then.

8-30-11 Made it out with a light crowd today and had real nice conditions on the water.Flat calm and a nice breeze gave us good drifting conditions but it did take us a couple of hours to find some fish but we did find em and I was surpised at the life we had.Each drift we would have maybe 20-25 shorts and maybe 1-2 keepers a drift.Pretty good considering the weather we just had,should get better each day and now that I know where they are we should have even a better day tomorrow.See ya then..

8-25-11 We had a private party today,but tomorrow we are back at it.Looks like it will the last day to fish before the storm.Winds will be under 10kts.so it should be nice.See ya tomorow.

8-24-11 Southwest winds early on gave us a nice drift,we picked away at the nice fluke each drift we made.Nothing spectacular,maybe 3-5 nice fish each drift,and a few sea bass mixed in.If we continued this action all day it would have ended up good but the winds switched to the south hard and made it a bit difficult to keep on the bottom.Last few hours we just picked a few fish here and there,but we some did end up with 2-3 keepers and some one and some none.Fair amount of just miss fish,and the pool fish were in the 5-6lb.range.Tomorrow we have that private charter and will not be open but it looks like Friday is a nice day with the winds dropping out tomorrow nite.Probably one of the last days of good fluking we will get in before the storm hits.Check out a few pics.

Say ahhhhh!!!

8-23-11 Wow,even nicer than yesterday!!!And the large fluke were chewing.Around the boat each drift we woiuld  see some real nice fish come to the net,along with some nice sea bass to.We worked a small area all day and ended up with some real nice fish scattered around the boat up to 8lbs.A good percentage of the keepers today were over 5lbs.also.Fish were caught on both jigs and draggin bait.Some real nice quality!!Check out just some of the nice ones from today>Tomorrow is looking awesome again!!!!

Tony said this is how its done Leo!!!Tony smacked em today with 5-6 nice fish,four of em over 5lbs.I would say,on the nuclear chicken combo.

Nice fluke!!!

Check out this one above,I believe this fish took the money.Over 745 bucks!!!!

Check out this Jumbo!!What a nice day of large fish coming up,tomorrow we will be back at it.And no we did not feel the effects from the earthquake in case you were wondering.Not even a bump out there.See ya tomorrow.

8-22-11 Nw winds kept the ocean very nice today.Pretty decent drifting conditions to.Most of the morning we just picked at the fluke,few sea bass here and there but mostly fish that were just missing the mark.We threw back alot of fish that were just short.Kept this way most of the morning then we started seeing more keepers in a small area so we worked and stayed out alitttle late and we ended up catching some real nice fish up to 6lbs.Some nice sea bass again to.So in the end we ended up with a decent catch of fish and most had fish to go home with,obviously some more than others,but overall a very nice day,and tomorrow is looking great again!!!See ya tomorrow.Check out a few fish from today,below.

Bob had some quality,he said"eat your heart out Herb!"

Lenny said me to!!

First keeper Fluke!!

Some nice fish out there!!!Come on down and get in on it.Summer almost gone!!

 

Sorry the website has been down,I had some issues again with the computer.Actually the website itself.We had a good weekend.Saturday was good with a real nice catch of fluke and some nice sea bass.Spread out around the boat we had high hooks with six keeper fluke,some five,etc.....Some did struggle,but overall on the boat we had over alot of quality fluke in the 3-8lb.range.Sunday we had some tough conditions so the counts were down but still we had some nice fish up to six lbs.and again some large sea bass.The south winds at over 25mph,kinda made it tough but we managed some fish.Check out just some of the many fish we slayed this weekend!!!

Most of these fish are from Saturday,like I said it was good!!

Quality!!

Lots of nice ones this weekend!!!

8-19-11 Weather man messed up again.It was beautiful today.Only had a handful of people come down to enjoy a beautiful day on the water.We caught some nice fluke and some nice sea bass,shame only a few were here to enjoy it.The weekend looks awesome!!!!!!Get out and enjoy,only a few summer weekend left!!!!I heard snow is on the way soon!!

Three keeper fluke and some sea bass for the pan tonite!

8-18-11 Fishing was good again today.From early on we had the nets dipping the water bringing in some real nice fish.Alot of quality fish in the 2-5lb.range came up on both the bucktails and the rental rods.Alot of the fisherman went home with 2,3,4, nice size fluke.Pink,green,white,all of it seemed to catch fish.Decent amount of just miss fish,some real nice sea bass again rounded up the catch.The weather was very good to,just a few sprinkles and flat calm seas.Weather man was wrong again.Tomorrow looks good,dont let a chance of rain scare you away cause this is pretty good fishing.Check out just a few of the nice ones from today.

8-17-11 We had quite a nice day today.Fish were biting and the weather was beautiful.Nice fluke up to six pounds came to the net today along with some real nice sea bass and even some southern triggerfish.Pretty much non-stop action on the fluke end with plenty of just miss fish and around the boat we had  people with as many as six keeper fluke.But overall spread out aroiund the boat some real nice quality fluke in the 2-5lb.range.Seemed like both the bait draggers and the bucktailers caught the keepers today,and green (chartruese))was a good color to fish with.Check out just a handful of fish caught today.I like the forecast for tomorrow,dont let the weatherman scare you away with the chance of rain forecast.Get out here and catch some of these nice fish we are catching!!!See ya in the morning!!!

This young lady had four nice keepers today,on a rental rod.

Tony was cold last week,but today he was hot with six nice fluke!Green or nuclear chicken was good to him today.

She waited till the end to catch this nice one,but the wait was worth it!

How about a nice triggerfish for dinner?These go good in the pan as long as you know how to cut em.

Quality from the bow!!!

Nice one from the stern.

Check out this Drumfish from yesterday!

8-16-11 With the light amount of people around the past few days we decided to catch up on some maintenance.Back at it again today though and we were dealt some nasty conditions early on today.Pouring rain most of the morning along with a strong Ne wind kept the drift quick and the fishing a bit on the slow side.By late morning though the clouds left and the wind dropped out and we started catching the fish.Both nice fluke and some sea bass started biting and each drift we see some nice fish.Nothing large, pool fish went around four pounds but it looked real promising given we got the good condtions late in the day.Some of the guys had 2-3 keeper fluke and some bass and down from there but with some better conditions tomorrow I think we will see even a better bite.We also had the Black Drum come though our lines this morning and we had maybe 4-5 large fish on.Busted off all but one but he was a nice one that went over 30lbs.See ya tomorrow.

8-13-11 Today was one of those days where the saying' you should have been here yesterday' was not needed.Even though we had a nice size crowd the fish were coming over the rail all day long on some short drifts we were doing over some rough bottom.Around the boat we had fish from 2-8lbs scattered around each drift and at the end of the day most had some nice fish to go home with.Mixed in were some nice sea bass alsoNeedless to say we had a very good day with alot of quality fluke.High hook had five big fluke in the 3-8lb.range.Check out just some of the fish from today below.

These are not the same fish,he had five like this.

Kimmy was representing today with some real nice fish!!

Another quality fish,one of the many onboard today.

One of those shiny fluke.

8-12-11 Wow what a day on the ocean today.Probably the nicest day of weather this summer.Flat calm and a nice breeze.The fish were in the mood to.We started off catching some nice fish first thing this morning.Then we just picked away most of the day at the nice fluke.Alot of nice fish in the 3-5lb.range came to the net along with some large sea bass.High hooks had 3-4 quality fish,some 2-3,some one,some had sea bass etc.....Good day with a nice catch of fish.Just check out the pics.

8-11-11 Had very nice conditions on the ocean today.Good drift,good calm seas.Fishing was slow to start,few keepers here and there.,some short life but not that good.Covered alot of ground and at the end we got into some nice fish.Pool fish was caught at the end of the around 6-7lbs,and a few other nice ones came up.We also had some other slobs on that spit the hook.Look forward to getting back into this area cause there are some real nice fish there.Some nice sea bass made it in the boat also today.So overall kinda a tough day but some did manage to do well,high hooks had 2-3 keeper flukes and some bass.Check out some pics.

Pool winner!!!

Couple of nice ones.

Check out this moose caught while the computer was down.We are gonna be looking for more of these tomorrow.!!See ya in the morning.

8-10-11 Absolutely beautiful weather out there today and tomorrow is looking even better.Fishing bounced back also.We had plenty of bites today with the fluke.Lots of just miss fish and plenty of other smaller ones.Keepers were scattered around with some having 2-3 keeps,some just one and maybe a sea bass or two,and of course some people just had the throwbacks but good fishing plenty of action most of the day.Tomorrow we have more winds out of the west so along with Friday it should be a real nice couple of days to get out on the water.See ya tomorrow.

8-9-11 We had a nice start to the day with the weather,and it actually even stayed that way till the ride home.We just had a stray shower that hit us on the ride back to the dock.The ocean was very nice,flat calm.Fishing was off today from yesterday.Yesterday we had more sea bass life and fluke life.Especially in the morning.So it was a slow day,but we still managed some nice fluke up to 5-6lbs,some other keepers scattered around the boat and some sea bass but overall a tough day.Jake took home the money today with that nice fish.See ya tomorrow.

8-8-11 Well we finally got the keyboard fixed on the computer.Sorry for no reports.Today we fished primarily deeper rocks and we had some real nice sea bass along with some nice fluke.High hook had three or four keeper fluke,and some nice bass.Some guys only had throwback fluke,etc...like that.Nice day out with flat calm conditions and decent action.Pool fish was nice,around 7lbs. I would guess.Tomorrow looks nice again,come down and make a day of it.Should have some pics up later or tomorrow.See ya in the morning.

7-31-11 We had quite a nice day on the water with flat calm conditions and a light crowd surprisingly for such a nice weekend.Fishing was very good with almost non stop action.Fluke were coming over the rail most of the day.Lots of fish that just missed the mark,some nice sea bass,and some nice keeper size fluke mixed in each drift.High hook today had over 50-60 fluke,obviously not all keepers,I believe high hooks with keepers were around four-five flukes.Pool fish about five pounds.Good fishing all around.See ya tomorrow it is looking very nice again!!

7-30-11 We had a real pretty day on the water today.Flat calm and beautiful with a nice breeze off the land.We had good fishing again with fish coming over the rail most of the day.Just you really had to weed through the shorts to get to the keepers.Chucky took home the pool again today with a nice fish about 5-6lbs.Tomorrow is looking really nice again,see ya in the morning.

7-29-11 Things started off on the slow side for us today.We did not drift much at all early on and the fishing was slow.Eventually we started moving a bit and the fishing improved.Fair amount of short life coming up along with some keepers mixed in.High hook had three keepers,most others had none or one though.It was promising where we were but we just started drifting nicely a bit to late.The weekend looks very nice,see ya then.Pool fish today about 4lbs.

7-28-11 Very calm this morning on the water.Nice and cool with just a light breeze but we had good current drifting us most of the day.We just picked away at the fish all day long.Some drifts we would have 6-7 keepers,some just 2-3.Fair amount of fish that just missed the mark.In the end some guys had three nice keepers,some two,some one and some just had the throwbacks.Pretty nice out there,and tomorrow is looking even better with 10-15kts.of wind.We should cover a bit more ground and have an even better day it looks like.Check out our pool winner who took home over 500 bucks!!!

7-26-11 Nice day out with good conditions for fluking.No wind at all but we had the current moving us along at a good clip.Fluke were chewing,lots of bites with some real nice keepers mixed in.High hooks were up in the bow bucktailin with around four-five keepers for a couple of guys like Joe and Yujinn.Low hooks had just shorts but some guys had up to two dozen throwbacks.Chucky took home the money today with a pair of nice 6-7lb.fish.Nice day all around with a nice group of people.Tomorrow is looking good again,Capt.Dennis will be here and I will see ya Thursday.Saw some nice Sea Bass starting to show up also.

Chucky says eat your heart out O.J.!!

Some others like this were caught around the boat here and there along with some other life.

We saw some nice sea bass show up like this today!!

7-25-11 Winds out of the east today gave the ocean a little chop and a bit of a roll.Nice and cool for a change though,and we pretty much managed what we have been doing the past few days with the fish.Fair amount of short fluke along with some keepers mixed in.High hook had four keepers again,and check out Rich with the pool fish below.Nice one about 5-6lbs.Tomorrow is looking flat calm with the winds out of the Northwest.It should be nice.

7-24-11 I almost have the same report as yesterday.Hot out but we had a little breeze and the sun stayed behind some clouds most of the day so it was actually pretty nice out there today.We picked away at the shorts again and some keeeprs mixed in.High hook with keeps probably had 3-4 fish.Few sea bass,and even a keeper blackfish!Nice calm day on the water,and tomorrow looks the same.

7-23-11 Quite possibly the hottest that I have seen it at the dock before we even left this morning.I thought we would be doomed out there today with the heat but it actually was not bad when we arrived at the grounds.We had a nice breeze almost the whole day luckily and it was not until the end that it got hot when the breeze let up.Fishing was pretty good,plenty of bites most places we went today but there were alot of shorts to deal with.Lots of just miss fish.High hooks were around three keepers and down from there.Pool was caught by Mr.Han and went about 5-6lbs.Looks like tomorrow should be much cooler,see ya then.

7-22-11 Fishing was decent again today.Some did well with the keepers,Jimmi up front had high hook bucktailing with 6 nice ones and numerous ones that just missed.Few others had 3-4 and it seemed like the bait draggers had mostly short fish.But overall decent with the pool fish going 6-7lbs,and a few nice sea  bass starting to show up to.The highlight of the the day were a school of big Drumfish that we hooked into.We ended up landing 3 fish over 60lbs.Check out some pics.Tomorrow looks good,come down and get out of the heat.It has not been bad here on the water.

Check out one of the nice bass that showed up.Nice one Kid!!!!

 

 

7-21-11 Back to the grounds this morning and the fish were chewing.Nice conditions early on with a nice casual drift and flat calm seas.Had maybe 5 keepers on the first one and after that we kept picking at the keepers with plenty of shorts coming up along side.These nice conditions did not last long though.A strong wind out of the south sprang up and so did the dirft.We kept catching fish all day,but it just seemed like we did not see as many keepers as the early morning.Hot Dog Tony I believe was high hook with four nice keepers up to four pouinds.He also had the high hook the other day  with four keepers,not three(i stand corrected)Check out some nice fish from today,tomorrow is looking nice again,See ya tomorrow.

 Tony had mostly quality fish today!

Jimmy had some nice ones also,I think this one even took the pool.Although Tony had one close to this one.We shall see when I get in.

 

Mr.Lee took home the 500 dollar pool today with this nice 5-6lb.Fluke.There were some nice fish caught today early on when we had a decent drift,but then we lost it and we baked in the sun the rest of the day.High hook had three keepers,but overall it was a tough day when we lost the drift.Tomorrow is looking nice again,Capt.Dennis will be at the helm as I am taking a day off.See ya Thursday.

Check out Aliya with her nice 3lb.Fluke she caught today!!!!Nice one Kid!!!

7-18-11 Nice breeze out of the west gave us a nice drift today.It also kept is pretty cool on the water.The fish were chewing as we covered some ground.You had to do some recycling today to get to the keepers but some ended up with 2-3 keepers a piece.Good action most of the day,just alot of fish just missing the mark.Pool fish went about 4lbs.I would guess.Tomorrow it is looking like a great forecast again and flat calm seas like today.See ya then.

7-17-11 Another pretty day on the water.Another big crowd too.Fishing was good even with the amount of people onboard we had fishing coming up almost the entire day.I wont go as far as saying we had a big catch of keepers but spread out guys had em.Biggest fish of the day went about Five pounds and high hooks were 2-3 keeps with many fish coming up that just missed the mark.So overall a good day with lots of bites and a big crowd of really nice people enjoying a beautiful day on the water.Tomorrow is looking great!!!

7-16-11 Good ocean conditions today,started out with a decent drift and picked at the fluke.Mostly shorts scattered around the boat with an occasional keeper mixed in.Stayed that way most of the day,although we did have a slow period when the boat was just not moving much.So in the end a nice day with a large crowd on the boat but not enough keepers to go around.

7-15-11 Picture perfect today.And the fish were chewing.Lots of bites,fair amount of keepers,lots of just miss fish,some Jumbos up to 8lbs.took the pool.No need for alot of words cause it was nice out there today.Check out some pics.

Mike took home the large pool today with a couple of big fish!!!Nice Job!!!

One of the nice keepers these boys had today!!And his first keeper at that!!!

7-14-11 A strong north breeze greeted us at the inlet this morning.The ocean was actually very nice though with only a small chop.The drift was pretty fast with the tide running with the wind,over 2kts.early on.Surprisingly though we had some fish chewing.The ratio was nothing like yesterday with mostly shorts and a few keepers mixed in this morning.The breeze dropped out and it got very nice out with a nice drifting conditions by early afternoon.We managed to pick at em the rest of the day,some nice fish up to 5pounds or so.No high keeper count today,few guys had 2-3,some one,some only had shorts,.But it was a very nice day.Tomorrow looks like it will be even nicer.See you then.

7-13-11 Another super day,and the fishing was awesome.We pounded on the fluke with non-stop action all day long.Couple of the bigger fish went 7-8lbs.Some nice 5-6lbrs. Lots of keepers spread out around the boat with quite a few guys having 5-6 keepers each.Countless fish that just missed the mark.Probably the most keepers I have seen all year on the boat.The mates are still filleting long after we got in.I have some pics but the camera is giving me issues.Looks good for tomorrow,come get in on some good fishing.

Pool fish!!!

Professionals!!!

7-12-11 Wow,talk about a pretty day!Water was super clear and calm.You could even see the rocks we were fishing in about 20 ft.of water.Thats how clear it was.Fish were biting again,you had to weed through the shorts alot but some did well with the keepers and some just had the shorts.But pretty decent fishing again.Tomorrow is looking awesome again like today!!!See ya then.

7-11-11 We had a very nice day of fishing today.Flat calm conditions,a good drift,and lots of bites.We had high hooks with as many as 50-60 fluke.Not all keepers of course but some guys ended up with 5-6 keepers,some 3-4,some one and some could only get some just misses.But some days your on and some your not but a good day overall for a nice group of people.Pool fish looked to be around 5lbs I would say.Tomorrow is looking very nice again,dont let the weather man scare you with a slight chance of showers.They are usually wrong,especially this time of year.Come catch some Fluke!!!!!

7-10-11 We had some good fishing today for the fluke.We caught fish most places we traveled today but it seemed the best life was in tight to the beach.We ended up having a couple of drift late in the day where we had non stop fish coming over the rail for almost an hour each drift.You had to weed out the shorts,alot of fish just missed the mark.Good fishing though,pool fish took home the money at about four pounds and went over 500 bucks.Which was caught right at the end in 28'of water.Tomorrow is looking awesome again!!!We are halfway through the summer!!!Come out and get fishing!!!

7-9-11 Basically flat calm and warm all day today.A little bit of a ground swell out of the east came up in the afternoon but still flat calm.Nice size crowd came out to enjoy the conditions.Started out with a very fast drift,almost 1.5kts so we had to get some heavier lead out but by the end of the moring there was almost no wind.We still drifted and picked at some fluke,nothing great some fish here and there,some shorts,I believe high hook had three keepers and the pool fish went about four pounds.Not enough for a large crowd but still some nice fish.Tomorrow looks awesome!!!See ya in the morning,the bucktails with green seemed to work the best today.

7-8-11 Another nice day out with no rain.Weather man scared alot of people away with the forecast but it ended up being nice all day.Tried some different areas today looking for a better keeper ratio and found just about the same as we have seen the past few days.If we could have kept 17 and a half inch fish we would have done good today.So in the end fair action but not alot of keepers.We did manage a pool fish of about seven pounds.I am liking the forecast for a nice North wind tomorrow,I think they should be chewing good.See ya in the morning.

Biggest of the day.

7-7-11 Very pretty on the water today.Flat calm and warm.The ocean stayed that way all day long,a little bit of a breeze by the end of the day but not much.We managed to get some fish everywhere we stopped today but it just never got good.We would pick a few keepers everywhere we went,along with some shorts and some nice sea bass.High hook did have three keepers,some two,some none.Some just throwbacks,and some sea bass.Nice day out though,would have liked to have seen some more keepers but a real nice day out.Pool fish around 3-4lbs.Tomorrow is looking great again!!!

7-5-11

O.J. took home the big money today!!510 bucks!!

Nice fish but fishing overall today was tough.No drift most of the day but even when we did drift it was slow with what I would say is caused by a little ground swell we had out of the Southeast.Not big but enough to slow the bites down.Tomorrow is another day though,I will be off tomorrow but the boat will be going with Capt.Dennis.I will be back Thursday,see you then.

7-4-11 Wow,did we have some fog this morning.I mean socked in!It eventually cleared up and it was very nice out.No wind at all gave us a very slow drift,we did manage to catch some nice fluke and some large sea bass.Not as good as I would have liked it today but we still managed some nice fish,pool fish went almost 8lbs.Good day out with a nice group of people.Tomorrow is looking good again!!

Jumbo!!!

 

7-3-11 Rain,rain,and more rain.It was wet for us most of the day today,but the ocean conditions were very nice.Fishing was good again for a small crowd for a sunday.Again we had plenty fish just missing the mark and if you worked it hard today you ended up with the keepers.High had around 4-5 keeps and down from there.No large ones today,biggest maybe 4lbs.Forecast is much better for tomorrow,see ya in the morning.

Check out Mrs.Cod Slayer with a nice keeper!!!

7-2-11 Again some nice fluke coming over the rail today.Not much wind and not much drift most of the day so it was a bit slow fishing wise for most of the bait draggers..The guys bucktailin had the most action.High hook had six keepers,lots of shorts around the boat but not good for most of the guys draggin bait.Pool fish today went about 5-6 pounds but the biggest which missed out on over 700 hundred bucks was caught by someone not in the pool which went like 8lbs.So it was a bit of a struggle for most today but a very nice day out.Tomorrow is looking awesome again,come take a crack at a big one!!!!

Billy Ronnie took home the top honors today..720 smakers!!!

7-1-11 We had a great conditions for fluking today and they were chewing.Check out the pool fish below,Frankie had him and it went close to 10lbs.We also had quite a few other nice fish in the 3-5lb.range.Lots of shorts,good fishing all day long with high hooks having 6-7 keepers.and everything inbetween.The weekend looks awesome,come get in on some good fishing.

Frankie took home the pool today with this doormat close to 10lbs.Worth 560 bucks.

Nice fish from the other day!!I have some other pics I still have to get loaded.

6-28-11 Started out with no drift the first two stops today and fishing was slow.Few keepers,few shorts.Went lookin for some drift and we found it and the fish along with it.Pretty decent fishing with lots of bites fishing in the rocks in about 35ft.of water.Some nice fish again,up to seven pounds.Lots of fish that just missed the mark also.I have some pics I am going to try to get up later,I am having an issue with my camera.You might not see a report for thursday,I am going tuna fishing but the boat will be sailing as usual.I will be back for Fridays trip see ya Friday morning.

6-27-11 

Big Fluke still dominate the pool each day.This nice fish going around 8lbs.took home over 600 bucks today.Great ocean conditions,warm and pleasant on this Monday.The drift was not that nice,kinda kept us tangled alot today but we did have a drift and we picked at the fish all day.In the end some guys caught em and some did not.Again,some nice fish,quite a few fish over 3lbs with the biggest going 8lbs.Some nice sea bass again mixed in.High hooks had 4-5 keepers.Tomorrow is looking awesome again,more pics below from today.

Charlie with a nice one.

 

 

6-26-11 Nice day,nice ocean conditions and a nice crowd.We also had a very nice current that made us cover some ground,but at times it was tough with the way the boat spiked ahead.It gave us some tangles but nothing the crew could not handle.The keeper ratio was down,along with the short count but still it was not bad fishing.We had a pool fish that went almost 9lbs.again today,some 3-5lb.fish,more sea bass than I have seen lately and fair short fish.Nothing great but I think the conditions kinda hurt it a bit.The pool fish took home a Jumbo pool of 680 bucks!!!!Tomorrow is looking awesome!!!Tip___I noticed with the quick current today the bucktail fisherman caught less and the bait draggers did better.Peruvian smelts worked well.See ya tomorrow.

6-25-11 Nice day on the water with some real nice fluke coming over the rails again.Nothing giant but the pool fish went about 7lbs.and quite a few other nice fish in the 2-5lb.range were landed.Lots of short fish just missing the mark again.The bucktailers had the adavantage today,with high hooks especailly up in the bow having 5-6 nice keepers.One lucky angler had all big fish with five keepers going over 4lbs.Nice day,lots of bites,decent fishing.Tomorrow we are back at it again with big fluke on the menu!!!

6-24-11(friday) Despite some uncomfortable ocean condtions,rain,wind,lots of current,we had good fishing today.They were chewing with non-stop bites all day long.Pool fish went around eight pounds,and high hook had six nice keepers.Some had 3-4 keeps,some 1-2,most had one keeper.Some more sea bass showing up also.Few ling.Alot of the keepers were quality fish in the 2-4lb.range.We are gonna be back on the big fish tomorrow,fish were all taken in the rocks,surprisingly even though we had a quick drift the bucktails worked best today and it seemed they really like the green or glow white jigs.Tomorrow we are going back to the stones where we had some big fish today and with the winds going light west it should be good.Check out some pics.

Kenny in the backround had six nice keepers,but his brother Chris had the biggest of the day going about 8 lbs.We lost some other bruisers due to some lobster gear and the hard bottom but tomorrow is another story!!

Thats Bobby Kojac behind that nice Fluke!!

Another quality fish from today,lit up like a christmas tree.You should see how tough it is to see these fish as they hide in the rocks waiting to ambush your bucktail!!!See ya tomorrow!

6-23-11 I had a day off today,waiting for a report.But it seemed like a slow day with nasty conditions.

6-22-11 Made our way to the fluke grounds in calm seas this morning,which stayed that way all day.No wind to speak of but we did have current like yesterday so it kept us drifting.I noticed though that the sinkers were coming up much colder than the past few days,so in turn fishing was a bit off what we have been seeing.We caught the short fish ok,but the keepers were on the low side.High hook did have four keepers but around the boat the numbers were down with alot more having none or one over the guys with 2-3 keeps.Still some nice fish came aboard,check out the biggest of the day I would guess around 8-9lbs.Some 3-4lbrs here and there etc.....Good day just not what we have seen past couple of days.

No need to measure this fish.Laying on the deck it looks like a 9-10lb.fish but it seemed to be skinny,we shall see when we get in.

Marissa Gold pulled this nice one out at the end of the day!!!We actually saw them chewing a little better at the end of the day,looks good for tomorrow.

6-21-11 Another solid day of fluking.Weather man was wrong,no rain at all today.Dont let him scare you when they say chance of a thunderstorm or chance of rain.Even if it does rain or something it usually is short lived this time of year and ends up being a really nice day like today.We were into the fluke every drift today with fish coming up non-stop the whole day.Dozens upon dozens of fish that just missed the mark and inbetween nice fish in the 2-4 lb. going into the coolers.Each drift we would have between 6-12 nice keeper fish along with all those other fish.We just scraped away at it all day and put together a catch.Most had keepers to go home with and high hook had five.We also had had some nice ling,some sea bass,and a nice keeper cod of all things.Really nice day out.Check out some pics from today,see ya tomorrow.Looks good.

Hanna took home the Ten dollar pool today worth 320 bucks!!Nice one!

One of the many solid keepers in the 2-3lb.range.

Nice keeper Kiddo!!!

Nice Flatty!!!!!!

Brian and his girl had four keepers between them and some Ling and a nice Codfish.

6-20-11 Good solid day on the fluke grounds.Plenty of bites fishing in the hard bottom.High hook had five keepers,all nice fish up to five pounds.Some three or four,some two three,most had a nice fish or two.Plenty of fish that just missed.Good catch for a pretty large crowd we had on a Monday.Perfect ocean conditions to.Tomorrow we are back at it as usual.See ya then.They chewed both the bucktails and the bait today.

6-19-11 Fathers Day gave us  another good size crowd and good conditions on the ocean.No wind really to speak of but we had good current pushing us down the beach.Moved around alot today looking for keepers for our large crowd and found good action in spots with the fluke but getting a good keeper count was tough.Plenty of bites with fish that would just miss,but our count was low with keepers.The pool was large again today and it took home 745 bucks!!Pool fish was about four pounds.Tomorrow is looking very nice again,see ya in the morning.

6-18-11 

Check out Sammy and his Jumbo Fluke!!This fish I guess weighed in around 9-10lbs.A real nice fluke that was caught on a bucktail.The bucktails had the best shot at fish again today,not much in the way of a drift kept us crawling along at a slow pace but we did catch some real nice fish like this one.A few 3-5lb.fish spread out  along the boat also but not enough keepers to go around for a large crowd.Sams fish though took home a giant pool close to 800 bucks!!!Good to see these bigger fish,we are going back after them in the morning.See you then.

6-16-11 Started off in the area we left yesterday and had zero conditions for drifting.No wind,no current,only a few fish.With the writing written on the wall there we took off for deeper water and further north to find some kind of drift.We found the current and even though the light breeze was up against the tide it was enough to slowly move us along and cover some ground and the fish were chewing.Quality fish,2-3-4 lbs.Biggest about 6lbs.The key today was the bucktails.The guys who were bucktailing caught 90 percent of the fish.High hooks had their limit,some had five and down from there.Check out some of these nice fish!!Tomorrow is looking great!!And the weekend!!

Mikey caught his limit of all nice fish.

Bobby Kojac said eat your heart out Herbi,all of his five were nice ones!!

Nice Fish!!!!

Nice fish Aaron!!!

One of the many quality fish today!

Mr.Yoon had five over-size doormats like this today.

Like I said earlier the bucktails were the key to catching em good today,color did not seem to matter.I saw them caught on glo,pink,green and white etc.....Not even on the teasers,seemed they were after the main jig itself.But that was today,tomorrow????????Come on down and we will find out together.Some nice sea bass mixed in again today also.

 

6-15-11 We had a very good day on the fluke grounds today,wind with the tide and a nice steady drift kept us in the fish all day long.Plenty of shorts.Plenty of keepers,good showing of 2-3 lb.fish,pool fish about six pounds.Just a very good day all around.Check out some pics.Again green was a hot color today but we caught fish on most everything.Dead bait and the bucktails.Check out some pics.

Joe had the pool fish today,nice one Joe!!

Nice two pounder.

We had nice fish like this most of the day.

This gentlemen had a cooler full.Looks good for tomorrow,see you in the morning.

6-14-11 Very pretty morning,weather man scared most away only had a light crowd.Shame cause it was good,drifted right along and banged away at the fluke.Perfect drift and the fluke were chewing,some keepers and lots of just missed fish each drift.Stayed that way most of the morning,then the drift got pretty quick and the action slowed for a while but still we plugged away and had some good shots in the afternoon even though we were drifting at over a knot.In the end we had countless throwbacks and some guys had three or four nice fish up to 4lbs,some 2-3,most had one and some nice sea bass mixed in.Check out some pics,the rest of the week looks awesome and the fish are chewing !!!!!!

Some nice ones!!!

As you can see there are some nice fish being caught!Where are you????

6-13-11 From the looks of the rainy nasty conditions we started with this morning I thought it was going to be a tough day like we had most of the weekend.Well I was wrong.The misty conditions left us within the first drift this morning and although we had a small ground swell it got very nice out.Even the sun made an appearance.Fishing even made a complete turn around.We had very good fluking today.Plenty of action around the whole boat for a pretty big crowd for a Monday.Almost non-stop fish coming somewhere over the rail,and some nice ones to as you can see in the pics below.High hooks had around four,some three,two etc....Of course we still get some people who get just shorts,but as a whole we had good catch of keepers along with lots of fish just missing the mark.Even some nice sea bass showed up to spice up the catch.Nuclear Chicken Gulp was a hot one today,along with some bucktail action.Tomorrow is looking decent,they dropped the winds down a bit.See ya in the morning.

Carrie Anne and Joey below had some nice ones taken on the Nuclear Chicken.

I actually though that these fish above would win the pool but I was wrong and did not get the picture but it was a 5-6 lbr.that took home 430 Bucks!!!!!Not bad for a Monday!

Dean had 2-3 nice fluke and a couple of these nice bass.

Even John the skate fisherman caught fish today!!

6-12-11 Still a bit of a ground swell left over from yesterday,but pretty decent ocean conditions.At times fish were biting ok today,and other times we seemed to get out of em.They liking a certain depth today and when you were in the right depth you caught fish.Lots of bites but we did have to do some recycling to get some keepers.With the winds going North tomorrow it is looking like the conditions are going to be better.See you in the morning.

6-11-11 Not so great conditions like we wanted today.Winds were up a notch higher than we wanted,and in turn the ocean was a bit lumpy.We caught fish each drift,some shorts,some keepers but it was tough with the drift going over a kt.Winds were letting up in the afternoon,so tomorrow should be better.See ya then.

6-10-11 Took our ride up the beach today to where we have been fishing and had beautiful conditions to start.Nice light breeze out of the north,calm and cool.Problem was the tide was up against the wind so we moved very little.We still caught fish though.Not nearly as good as yesterday but still we caught fish.When we did move we picked away at the fluke,when we did not move, well we caught the skates real good along with the fluke..Plenty of shorts,some guys had 30-40 fish just under the mark.High hook had around 5 keepers,some three,two,one etc.....All in all,some did well,some not,but really nice day with a nice bunch of people.I am liking the winds going east tomorrow,wind guru says we should have about ten knots of east so they should bite good.See ya in the morning.Pool fish about five pounds.

Check out Ritchie and his nice flatty that took home the money today,fish was worth over 450 bucks!!!

6-9-11 Best fluke fishing I have seen in a while today.Just non-stop pulling on the fish all day long.The bigger fish moved in to.Pool fish went about 7-8lbs,some fish 4-5 lbs,2-3lbrs,throwbacks,everything all around the boat.Some guys had 5-6 big ones,some 4-5 etc...Low hooks had 1-2 keepers...Even the rental rods had some nice fish today.They were chewing both the dead baits and the bucktails.Check out some of the pics from today!!!!Lots of em.Tomorrow is looking great again!!Come get in on this hot fishing!

Even Herbi had 5 keepers today so you know they were chewing!!!LOL!!

Group picture!Look at Leo even holding up two fish!!!!

Steve with a nice one about 5lbs.

Representing Philli!Mikey with a fat one.How about this one Hambone!

Brooklyn style.

Steve had all his fish today on just squid and spearing.

The Professional.

 

6-8-11 Very nice today,not even to hot with a light breeze off the ocean.Very comfortable.Fish were chewing again,almost non-stop bites most of the day fishing in the shallow water anywhere from 15-25 ft.Again you had to recycle alot but the keepers were there.High hoiks had again 3-4 keeper fluke.Today they chewed both the bucktails and the draggin bait as well.Tomorrow is looking very nice again,come down and get out of the heat!!!!

6-7-11 Wow,each day just gets nicer,and the fishing is staying excellent.Nice breeze out of the west kept the ocean flat calm.We would get into the depth that they were hanging in today and it was sometimes 6-8 fish on at a time.The water was crystal clear also,that is why today it seemed like they wanted the bucktails as much as draggin bait.But everything worked,and in the end we caught a pile of fluke.Most everyone had at least one keeper today and high hooks had 3-4 keepers.Again anything that green or chartruese color was good,,along with natural baits.Rest of the week looks awesome!!!!!!!!!And it is gonna be hot on land so come on down.

Check out Wesley and the first fluke onboard today,and his first ever!!Congrats!!

Do you know the man behind that Fluke??That is Hot Dog Tony and the pool winner today!!Tony went home with three nice ones and numerous just misses.

6-6-11 As pretty as it gets on the water today,flat calm and beautiful.Not much of a drift early today,so in turn the fishing started off slow.Took a ride to look for some current and when we found it the fish were chewing.Once again non-stop action with fluke,alot of heartbreak fish just missing the mark but keepers mixed in also.High hook had four keepers,some three,some two,etc....Some just had the shorts and lots of lots of skates!!!!Slow drift brought out lots of clearnoses.The winds are supposed to pick up a bit out of the west,southwest tomorrow so it should be even better!!!!Summer is here,take advantage of it and come down and fish!!!

6-5-11 East wind about 15kts.this morning gave the ocean a slight roll.Not bad though and not enough to effect the fishing.Took a couple of stops to find the fish today,not where we left them the day before,but when we found em it was non-stop action with the fluke.Drifting10-30ft.of water was the ticket again today.Fish were almost always coming up down the side of the boat,again quite a few fish just missing the mark but some nice ones mixed in.A good guess would put about 40-50 fish a drift in the boat with anywhere from 4-8 of those a drift being keepers.Pretty decent for a small crowd.Even some nicer fish today,20-25 inches mixed in.See ya tomorrow.

Check out Eddie D.and Roland with some of there nice fish.The one on the right took home the money today!!Nice fish and a nice day out.

6-4-11 Wow,what another good day of fluking.Non-stop bites most of the day,fluke coming over the almost the whole time we were drifting.Again alot of fish that just missed 18 inches but quite a few keepers to.Had some guys with 4-5 keepers each,some with 2-3, and down from there.Just very good fishing.Pool fish went about 4lbs,and took home about 320 bucks!!!!Not bad for only twenty or so guys.Awesome day,cant wait for tomorrow.

One of the nice fish from today!!!

6-3-11 Fishing was even better today,same conditions,light crowd and some of the best action we have seen in a long time.Each drift it was non-stop fish coming over the rail.Shame that only a light crowd was out to enjoy it.You had to weed through the shorts to get some keepers but they were there.High hook at the end of the day had over 50 fluke with 5 of them being kept.Alot of fish just missed the mark.Really good fishing,and the weekend is looking great so get out and get in on this good fishing!!

6-2-11 Forecast was correct today,nice breeze out of the northwest gave us really nice fluking conditions.Got a bit breezy by the first two drifts so we took off to fish the beach north of our inlet and we were not dissapointed.Lots of life each drift,most drifts we had between 40-50 fish,.Alot of fish just missing 18 inches but we did manage between 1-5 keepers a drift along with all those close ones.Pretty good fishing and it was flat calm where we were.Couple of pool fish in the 3-5lb.range.Tomorrow looks like the same,should be good.Pics.

Check out Leo with two nice fish to keep!!!

A nicer fish from today,overall lots of bites and good conditions.

6-1-11 Big difference today,nice drift early and the fish were biting.Had maybe 5-6 drifts where we would catch 1-3 keepers and 6-8 shorts,nice action but then the wind really came on and shut us out.We drifted almost two knots and the fishing was over.Fish are there though,with the winds going Nw tonite,tomorrow should be good.See ya in the morning.High hook today had three keepers,another had two keeps.

5-31-11 Pretty day on the water,warm and flat calm.Actually to calm.We did not have much of a drift through most of the day that kept our catch down.Just a  few keepers for a small crowd and some shorts.Tomorrow should be better.

5-30-11 Early morning thunderstorm while at the dock gave way to a very pretty day on the water.Had a nice drift most of the day and the fluke were chewing.Each drift we would have between 30-40 fluke with anywhere between 4-8 keepers a drift.Nice to see the fish chewing and even better to have such nice weather.The rental rods were the ticket today,for what ever reason they outfished the bucktails.Just a plain old squid spearing combo with mono was the ticket.Tomorrow is looking good,see ya in the morning.

 

5-29-11 Nice conditions again today,light south,southwest breeze kept us moving most of the day.Cold water though kept the bites to a minimum everywhere we stopped up until late morning.Then we found a batch of warmer water coming down the beach on a tide line and we had much better life.Decent action on the short fluke with a handful of keepers.We ended up with 7-8 keeper fluke and maybe 50 shorts.Looks promising.

5-28-11 Nice conditions to start our fluke season.Had fish in both the deeper water and the shallows.I think we had more life actually out deeper even though its so early in the year.If it was not for the dogfish,I think we would have even done better.They chased us out of a couple of spots even though we had some fluke life.I went down and fished for a while and had one keeper fluke and three shorts.High hook had two keepers,and some got one or none.Not good fishing,but enough to get started.Arturo took home the pool,he caught his on a spro jig,,all other were on bait.Check out some pics.

Is he back????This pool winner??

Nice day out!!See ya in the morning.

5-27-11 Only had a few customers today,so we went out front in all the bait pods and filled up with bait and fished for a bit.It was slow though,only one keeper bass,but a nice one.Check out the pic below.Tomorrow is first day of fluke and sea bass.Look forward to it,and yes they are biting from the reports that I got.See ya tomorrow.

5-26-11 Another nice day,flat calm,a little foggy but very nice.The bunker were thick again today and the big bass were in feeding on em.Fish up to 30lbs.Just picked away all day live baiting.Check out some pics,tomorrow is looking great again.Last shot at these big bass,we will be switching over to Jumbo Fluke and Sea Bass on Saturday.See ya in the morning.

Pat had a couple shots at these nice ones today.

Roy came through at the end!!!!

Chucky came through to,he had quite a few on today????

I believe this was the pool winner!!Makes you want to take off tomorrow,huh?See ya in the morning.

 

 

5-25-11 Wow,what a day.Flat calm and beautiful.Baitfish everywhere as soon as we cracked the inlet.Got into catching the bunkers quick.Loaded up and bait and had some shots at some really nice fish up to 30lbs.Some guys were able to get a nice fish,high hook had two of these nice fish and some just could not get the hook set and pulled em off.But we caught some nice fish and I am looking forward to tomorrow already!Check out some pics from today.

Some of the nice fish from today!!!See ya in the morning.

5-24-11 Started out with socked in fog out of the inlet but within the hour it cleared up and the weather was beautiful.Got into the bunker early and no problem getting bait,even saw some fish being caught around us and thought it was going to be good.Boy was I wrong.We ended up catching one nice fish about 25lbs,lost a few others but it went dead for most of the day.Read fish again but just no bites.Thought it was going to happen in the afternoon,but it did not so we called it a day.Hopefully tomorrow they chew for us a little better.

5-23-11 Not much of a crowd for Belmar today,the handful of customers I had(usually enough,but I had some health issues with the family at home so I decided to send em out with Lenny on the Miss Belmar)thanks To Lenny.Tomorrow is another story,looking forward to getting out and slamming some bass.See ya in the morning,forecast is good with sw winds.

5-22-11 What a bust today/had the fish under the boat,had the live bait,had everything but they would not chew.Feel like a complete failure!!!!Waited as long as I could but came home with a donut.Tomorrow is probably going to be good since the weekend is over.

5-21-11 Wow,what a perfect day for fishing.Flat calm,sunny and warm.Unfortunately the fish were not chewing like yesterday though.Bait was there just tough to snag,read plenty of nice stripers but they were just not chewing well.Ended up with some blues and a few nice bass but not enough call it a productive day.Tomorrow is looking great again,the bait is still out front and hopefully they put the feedbag back on!!See ya in the morning.

5-20-11 Only a light crowd today but we went anyway.The bunker schools were waiting for us and it didnt take long to get into the fish.Snagging bunker and live lining them was key today,we caught some monster Stripers,check out some of these pictures.Eric Jensen had one fish that had to go close to 40lbs!!!!!Nice day and the weekend is looking great,come down and get in on this fishing!!!

Check out these two fish Eric had,this one above was a moose!!!This fish went 45lbs.!!!!!!!Come down and take a whack this weekend!!!!These fish wont be around to much longer!!!

 

TOMORROW(FRIDAY)THE 20TH IS ON FOR CRASHING THE BUNKER SCHOOLS!!!!!JUST GOT MY REPORT IN FROM A FRIEND AND THE SCHOOLS OF BUNKER ARE BACK AND THE BIG BASS ARE UNDERNEATH!!!WE ARE ON FOR THE MORNING TO GO CATCH SOME JUMBOS.ARE YOU IN??????WELL WE WILL BE THERE IN THE MORNING WITH TREBLE HOOKS IN HAND,SEE YA THEN.

5-18-11 After being stuck at the dock these past few days due to the weather and winds, tomorrow(thursday) the wind is finally letting up with it forecasted only to be 5-10kts.Looking forward to getting back out there and tracking down some fish to kill again!!!Had some good reports of the bunker moving back in with the big bass in them before this weather came along so we are going to go track em down>See ya tomorrow.

5-14-11 Nice day on the water conditions wise,even the ground swell is almost gone.Rain held off till the end of the day also.Fishing was good for the blues but the stripers were not around again today.Few fish caught north clamming,few trolled.,but not good anywhere so we banged up some blues.It was good with the Jigs.Hopefully tomorrow we see more bait show up and some bass.See ya then.

5-13-11 What a difference a day makes!Got out and did not find any of the life we had the rest of the week.Looked and looked,covered alot of ground and while I did find some decent bass readings and we watched some boats troll some fish,we just could not get em to chew.I heard some boats catching the some blues but even that was not that good so we stayed looking for the bass and was dissapointed by the end of the day.Where did all that bait and life go??Hopefully we will  find out tomorrow.So overall a tough day!Only some blues and one keeper striper.

5-12-11 Very nice conditions today,still a bit of a ground swell but basically flat calm with not much wind.Started looking for the bait and did not find any life where we left it in the afternoon the day before.Headed south and got into some decent bait readings which turned out to be rainfish.Plenty of fish around these bait balls,mostly blues and lots of em.Pretty much not stop action on the blues,bass were there,but they had a tough time fighting of the bluefish.I would watch from the upper deck bluefish chase a bass off a jig,but we did manage nice stripers up to 25lbs.High hook actually had three big bass on a Croc Jig.Very good day out with non stop action,you just had to work for the bass.The whales were out again today chasing down the rainfish,at one point a humpback started coming totally out of water maybe ten times in a row coming up and landing on its side.A small boat maybe sixteen feet in length actually almost got pounded by the whale,it came out of the water and landed maybe ten feet from the small boat.It was something to see,I thought they got smooshed.Look forward to more action tomorrow!!!See ya in the morning.

5-11-11 The morning ocean was a bit unruly.A large ground swell out of the east and breeze out of the same direction at about fifteen mph gave it a small chop.Not bad just a bit lumpy.We did some traveling looking for the bait but it was tough with the conditions we had.Most of the morning gave us just a few bluefish for our efforts.We did manage to snag some bunker but the bass just were not in the mood to come and play.At around noon the ocean started to change and we started seeing the blues get very active when the winds started to die off.The fishing actually for the bluefish got superb.They started pushing the bait up on the beach,and needless to say it was not a good day to be a bunker.We hung in and pounded on some blues which gave the customers one hell of a battle,it was blood and guts everywhere around the boat.But we did manage to catch some stripers in between all the blues.Not only that but as I watched from the upperdeck I noticed more bass coming up around the blues,seemed like they were trying to compete but they are no match for a hungry bluefish.It was getting late so with the ocean getting much prettier and the wind laying down I set back in the direction we had the bait earlier in the hopes that the bass would get in on the action.Again we found the bait balls being devoured but still a few bass mixed in.Then I got the phone call from another boat even further north that it was starting to happen.It was time to go home but we kept going anyway and found that the fishing we were waiting for all day was starting to happen.The whales were crashing on the bait and as I came into the area I watched as hundreds of stripers,all big fish were bashing baits on the surface too.At this time it was all on rainfish,one area had some bunker but mostly bait you didnt see.So it was key at this time to have either some swimming shads or crocs or even some spros,they had the best shot.A few bass on diamond jigs but you had to work at it.Some dead bunker chunks also worked.This is when we caught most of the stripers!Wow,it was quite a day.Just awesome again.Can not wait for tomorrow!!!Eric had the pool today with a 25-30lb.bass.I am anxious to see what tomorrow brings,but with the ocean getting so nice at the end of the day today and the ground swell dropping out,wow it looks good.We left em biting!See ya in the morning.

5-10-11 Basically a repeat of yesterday.Very nice ocean conditions,and mother nature put on a show for us.The fish were already crashing into the bunker pods by the time we cleared the inlet and we wasted no time in snagging some bunkers and getting baits out to the waiting bass.All big fish again today,20-25 lb.fish were snatching the live baits as soon as you would let them out.Sometimes 5-6 big fish all trying for the same bait,just awesome to witness.We even had the whales again today,one even breached directly next to the boat chasing the bait pods and everyone on the side of the boat was caught off guard by such a big creature coming out of the water ten feet from where we were fishing!!How cool is that!!!Our pool fish today but about thirty pounds,and everyone was basically limited out early in the morning.Look forward to tomorrow.See ya then.

5-9-11 Flat calm and beautiful today,picture perfect.The ocean was alive with life.Baitfish everywhere,both bunker and pods of rainfish.To hard to pass up such nice life outside of the inlet.Started live lining baits and we had nice striped bass up to thirty pounds pretty quick.Then we picked at em most of the morning with the boat catching maybe 7-8 nice big bass and losing just as many.It looked so good with so much bait that I had a feeling it was going to erupt at any moment.I was not dissapointed.The afternoon came and the fish went on a feeding frenzy!!!We watched sometimes 10 giant stripers at a time try to eat one of the customers baits directly next to the boat.All fish over 25lbs,some over 30lbs.It was crazy,something we were waiting for all spring to happen started for us today.Needless to say we limited the boat out.I would come down and get in on this,not something you get to see all the time.Just the amount of bait around is something to see,they even had whales south of us crashing in on the bait.Tomorrow is looking good again,see ya then.

5-8-11 MOTHERS DAY LEFT US AT THE DOCK.VERY DRY CUSTOMER WISE TODAY BUT THAT IS USUALLY THE CASE ON THIS HOLIDAY.TOMORROW WE START OUR EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD TO EAT DIES SCHEDULE.IF THE STRIPERS ARE UP,WE KILL THEM,IF THEY ARE NOT BITING WE GO KILL SOME LING OR FLUKE,THE LING FISHING HAS BEEN EXCELLENT.EVEN SOME COD STILL MIXED IN.KEEPER FLUKE ARE BEING CAUGHT,JUST HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD WATER TEMP.ETC......SHAKE OFF THOSE COD WEBS AND GET OUT ON THE BOAT!!!!See ya in the morning.Capt.Bobby.

5-7-11 Nothing like yesterday striper wise,water seven degrees cooler and no life.Lots of bait but no bites,one nice bass late in the day.We actually had some guys fluking with bucktails and bait and ended up catching a couple of keeper fluke and some throwbacks.So it was encouraging to see,tomorrow is another day though and the weather is looking good for the next few days.See ya tomorrow.

5-6-11 The boat caught the stripers good today,early in the morning then late in the afternoon.Most had their limit of stripers,and hopefully tomorrow we will see more of the same,along with some fluke hopefully.See ya in the morning.

5-6-11 The boat is out today looking for the Stripers,tomorrow fluke season opens and we are going to see if they are chewing.If the stripers are around we wont pass them up either,so looks like a nice weekend and we have a chance at catching some nice fish again.I will be down in the morning looking to get back at the spring run of fish after a few weeks down south.Thanks Capt.Bobby

4-30-11 The boat was out today for the last day of blackfishing.Tomorrow we are going to start targeting Striped Bass.Striper fishing has been good,hopefully we have a season like last year.See ya in the morning.

4-9-11 Another nice day,picked at the cod and blackfish along with some ling each stop.As always we had guys that did real well,high hook and pool winner had 3 keeper cods,and three keeper togs.Mikey had ling,cod and blackfish.Some had one,some had none etc....But a very nice day and tomorrow looks like the same.

4-8-11 Flat calm seas all day today and no current.Very nice out there.Picked at some fish each drop.Cod,ling,blackfish,even a stray pollock.In the end some guys caught some fish,and some did not.Keepers anyway.High hook had 5 keeper cod,and a blackfish.Some had only ling,some had a blackfish etc...Nice day,see ya tomorrow.

4-6-11 We had a tough day of fishing today.The ocean was beautiful,just the current was a problem first thing this morning.2lbs.of lead would not hold you on the bottom this morning.We ended up having to go in shallow and fish most of the day.We caught some Cods,biggest fish and the pool winner caught by Herbi.Maybe a ten pound fish in that area.Total we only had a handful of keeper cods,a dozen or so shorts.Couple of blackfish,one being a keeper that I saw,few ling and lots o lots o dogfish.They were a pain today.By late afternoon the current did let up and we did get back out into the deep water but the day was just about over.Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better..

4-3-11 Another good day on the water,light chop and light current most of the day.We caught some Codfish to.P:icked away most of the day with the stern section of the boat seeing the best of the action.We had a high hook with four keeper Codfish,a few with three keepers,some two and some one.Some did get the skunk,especially up front and on the one side.A couple of the pool fish were real nice,20 plus pounds was the biggest and a few a little under twenty.A shot of ling here and there,lots of dogfish,some sea ravens,etc...Fair amount of short codfish mixed in.Tomorrow is not looking so hot,gusty south winds.Check out some pics from today.

One of the bigger ones.

Keeper size!!!!

Bob had two fat ones,above and below.

High hooker with four nice keepers.

Say ahhhhhhh........

 

 

4-2-11 Very nice day out,good sea conditions,light current and the fish were biting.Some guys had two keeps,some one and some none but spread out around the boat we put a catch together.Fair amount of throwback cods along with a few ling and a few short togs.Tomorrow is looking even better.See ya in the morning.Few pics.

 

 

3-30-11 Wow,what a day to be out.Flat calm and beautiful.No wind to speak of left it warm all day long.The current was light and the fish were chewing..All around the boat we had a good bite most every drop we made.Keeper Codfish,throwback Codfish,some Ling,even some keeper Blackfish again.Everyone went home with fish,most had 1-3 nice keeper Codfish,some had 2-3 ling on top of the Cod,some had Cod and Tog etc....some even had the ever elusive Banana Cod to top off their catch.Good bite for a decent size group of anglers.Pool fish were around 10-12 lbs.

3-29-11 A bit nicer than yesterday,good ocean conditions.Current was not to bad early but got stronger as the day went on.Fish were chewing though,most had a keeper cod or ling,some had two keeper cods,high hook had three keeper codfish.The pool winner today had a nice 15lbs.cod along with a nice Tog.Few other togs also came up.Water warming up????Back at it again tomorrow and the forecast is for very light winds so it should be a nice day.Come down and take a crack at some of these nice fish we have been catching all winter.

The pool winner!!

Second place but high hook with three of these.

3-28-11 Cold Nw winds this morning kept the crowd to a bare minimum.Stayed breezy all day with 20-25kts never letting up.The ocean never got rough really,3-4ft.at the most.The problem today was the current.Ripping into the wind,kept the boat side to and very difficult to fish.24oz.of lead was key to keeping you in the game.16 if you were using braided line.Actually had to fish off the spot so the lines would go into the wreck.Surprised we actaully caught some fish.High hook had two keeper cods,another had two,some had one and a ling,some caught only dogfish,etc....but we did get the day in.See ya tomorrow.

3-27-11 Cold again this morning but a very nice day on the water.Basically flat calm with maybe a one foot chop.Got set up and had a good current running up against the wind which got stronger as the morning went on.Had to get the heavy lead out to hold bottom which in turn made it tough to fish some of the deeper stuff.Ended up picking some fish off most stops we made today,few cod here and there,some ling,some eels,some short cods,one nice pollock,fair amount of dogfish.Not a great day,some nice fish though.Check out some pics,pool fish went around twenty pounds,the ten dollar pool had a cod and pollock around ten hanging with the cod just edging out the pollock.

Five dollar winner!!!

This fish above and the one below were close in the ten dollar pool.

Another nice one.

 

3-26-11 We actually had a decent size crowd show up to fish today despite some very cold temps.this morning.Made our way out in very nice ocean conditions.A bit breezy but the ocean was nice all day thanks to the Nw winds.Again we picked away at the codfish.Each spot would yield have life,some better than others.A few ling,lots of dogfish today,they got to be a problem on some spots.Biggest fish of the day is pictured below,a nice one at about 12-14 llbs.Donny also had high hook with four keepers cods,and a ling.Others had fish,1-2 keepers,ling,eels,some only got dogged out,but overall another nice day out and tomorrow is looking good again.See ya in the morning.

3-25-11 The ocean was as nice today like we thought it would be.Flat calm conditions,not much current made it a good day out.Not many people showed up to fish but we went anyway and had a decent pick at fish most of the day.In the end we probably had 25 nice keeper Cods,at least three times that in throwbacks,and a few ling and one nice keeper blackfish.Really pretty day out,and tomorrow looks like the same.See ya in the morning.Biggest fish of the day went about 10-12 lbs.Pics.

A pool contender,nice fish!!

First ever Cod!!!

 

3-22-11 Nice day to be out today,decent conditions on the anchor,a bit rolly in between but nice.A cool breeze out of the north kept me towards the back of the boat today but it seemed like the best bite was in the bow.Check out these pictures below,we had some nice fish.Also some fat ling mixed in.High hook had three keepers cods,and down from there.Nice showing of throwback cod mixed in also.

Lenny had a fat one!!!

The pool fish which is somewhere around twenty pounds.

Bob had a good day with three or four of nice cod and some ling.

Herb pulled this nice fish out.

Jumbo ling.

Few more keepers from today.

 

 

 

3-20-11 Another morning with a small chop on the way out then pretty much flat calm most of the day.Almost to calm by the end of the day with the anchor lines going almost slack.Fishing was much slower than yesterday.Made quite a few drops and the ones that had life you sat there and picked at some fish,while the others were pretty dead besides some dogfish or eels etc...In the end a few guys managed two keeper cods each,half the boat had maybe one while the other half just had some shorts or none.Pool fish went about ten pounds and took home almost four hundred bucks.Tomorrow is not looking to nice,we shall see in the morning.

Check out Ryan and his first keeper Cod!!!!

3-19-11 A bit choppy this morning,not rough or anything,just a bit rolly on the way out.Had a decent chew with the Cods.Some spots were better than others but in the end we had a good catch as you can see in the pictures below.The stern had the best of it,few guys had 5-6 keepers,few had four,some two or three.Up the sides ranges from none to two,and up front guys had 2-3 keepers.Fair amount of short Cod also,and a handful of ling,one short blackfish.Looking good for tomorrow!!!!!

This one is gonna be hard to beat on the pool scale.

A nice bow fish.

Nicolas had his first Codfish!!!

Portside fish.

Bow fish.

Four a piece in the stern

High hook with six.

 

 

 

3-18-11  Another nice day on the water,a small ground swell out of the south but besides that,flat calm.Early on we had some fish biting,few cod,few ling,some perch.Just picked,one here and there.Made a few moves and caught some keepers each stop.Some small cod mixed in with the keepers.By late morning the bites slowed down and the dogfish got a bit unruly.In the end we saw a few more fish caught on jigs and a few more on bait.Bobby Kojac had high hook with three keeper cods,few had two keeps,some had a couple of ling,some had one cod,but some just could not get a keeper.Tough for a good portion of the boat.Nice pool again,over 500 bucks!!!!Pool fish went about 10 lbs.Check out some of the pics from today.Tomorrow is looking nice again.!!!!!

 

Bobby had high hook!!

3-17-11 Nice day to be on the water.Besides a decent size ground swell, the ocean was flat calm.We took a longer ride offshore than we have been fishing and had fish on pretty quick.Mostly Cod again with some ling mixed in.The action slowed down in the afternoon,but each spot we managed to pick at the keeper cod.In the end some guys could say they caught fish.High hook had four keepers,some three,two,one.Meanwhile some guys said they had almost no action at all.Sporadic bites spread out amongst a nice size crowd basically.Tomorrow is looking good and is the weekend.Come on down and take a crack at a Cod.Pool fish today went about ten pounds and took home almost Five hundred bucks!!!!Check out some pics.

Marty had top honors with four nice ones.

Second runner up for the pool.

The pool winner!!!!

Pair o Cod.

 

3-15-11 We had another super day condition wise on the ocean,fishing was good again..This morning we had fish pretty quick with this time the stern seeing the best of the action.The way the current was going set the stern and port side up for a decent bite.At times we had up to eight or nine fish at a time coming over the rail,then they would back off,and then they would start chewing again,then by late morning the bite shut down and we managed to pick a few more then it went dead.Fished deep for a drop and had a shot of fish in the bow,some nice ones,up to 10lbs.or so then that died and we moved in shallow for stop on something I wanted to try in 80ft.of water and did not see much.Had three shorts and a keeper then it was time to go home.Overall we ended up decent around the boat,high hook had six nice keeper Cod and down from there.Only a few got the skunk,and we had a fair amount of short life.Nice day out for some Jersey Cod fishing.

 

3-14-11 The ocean was very nice today.Flat calm seas all day and no ground swell.We had a good size gang of regulars come down to take advantage of the nice conditions.A few faces I have not seen before either.The fish were in the mood this morning to feed and we had fish as soon as we came tight on the anchor.Today different from yesterday the bow crushed the fish and the stern for a while this morning watched as guys were pulling on fish non-stop.A few fish around the back half of the boat but mostly a bow bite,even had the anchor pop on me and repositioned up more but still the bow had the best of it.Eventually the whole boat was in the game and we banged away most of the morning.By afternoon they stopped biting all together and got skiddish.I would look around and find a nice pile of them but they would take off as soon as I anchored on them.You can see one of these piles in the picture below.We had to start dropping directly on a reading to get a few to bite.Only way they would chew.It gave a few guys who did not catch any a shot to get one and it worked.Even had one nice double header keeper for one customer.At the end we had a nice catch of fish around the boat for a big crowd.High hooks had 6-7 keepers and plenty of shorts.Some had 4-5,some 2-3,and I think only a few had the skunk.My camera went overboard yesterday so my pictures lack a little luster.Tomorrow is looking nice again with light winds all nite into tomorrow afternoon.See ya in the morning.

Haystack of Cod on the bottom.

 

Lenny broke his curse today with four keepers.

First keeper!!!

3-13-11 Made it out and had decent ocean conditions.Started out on some open bottom and picked at a few fish early,not good though and had quite a crowd around us so we went back out deep and had a strong tide running up against the wind but the fish were chewing.Ended up picking away at both keeper fish and throwbacks for most of the day on a few drops.Sixteen ounces of lead was a must with the current running the way it was.In the end some guys ended up well with high hooks having four keeper cods,some three,some two,one and none,and you know the rest.Again a decent showing of throwback cod also.Overall a good day,the back of the boat had the better shot at em today due to the way the current was running.Tomorrrow is looking good,see you in the morning.Check out some pics.

Sam and Kimmy had a real nice day with seven keeper between em and maybe a dozen throwbacks.

You know the Cod King!!

Ye old fishing club represenative

Gonna be a good pool weigh in.

Mikey even had a couple of keepers in between naps.

3-12-11 Back out after a couple of days off,ocean was decent to start.Got a bit nasty on the way home but overall ok.Got to the grounds and picked at a few fish,nothing great just a pick.Stayed that way most of the day,moved around a bit and tried some different stuff and caught some fish everywhere we tried.At the end some guys had two keeper cod,some had one,and some had none.Some short fish mixed in.Lots of current the second half of the day,and a gusty south wind but tomorrow is looking much better.The west wind tonite should clean it up nice.Pool fish about 8lbs.Check out some pics.

Nice pair!!!

A nice Jersey Cod.

Congrats on your first keeper Cod.

3-11-11 No fishing yesterday or today.The weekend is looking good though with the winds coming out of the west.See you in the morning.

3-9-11 A repeat of yesterday was just not in the cards today.The forecast from noaa was correct for a change.East winds 20 kts.or so made the ocean very uncomfortable.Seas 6-8 ft.with some higher sets now and again.The life just was not there either,no birds,no whales and no fish!!!Not a good day to go looking around either.Made 4-5 drops and ended up with maybe a dozen keeper cods,some eels and dogs etc...Called it an early day and came back to the dock by about two and no one seemed to mind.Tomorrow is a wash,no fishing.Friday is still up in the air.

3-8-11 We had some real decent ocean conditions today,especially for March.We started picking at some fish early this morning,nothing great just a pick here and there.Moved around a bit and started seeing some whales and some decent shots of bait,birds diving,really looked fishy.Came across some monster readings and anchored on a pile of stuff which came fifteen feet off the bottom,on an open area of bottom which I figured was just more bait but looked a little different.Then for the next couple of hours we pulled on Codfish like I have never seen before.Singles,double headers,could have easily had triples if you let it stay down long enough.Ran around with the net for a while but most guys just started lifting them over the rail,even fish over 10 lbs.which we would always wait for the net came flying over.Biggest fish went about 16-18 lbs.The best drop and reel fishing I have seen besides Sea Bass in the fall,high hooks had over a sea bass limit.Most guys caught as many as they could reel in and take home and we called it a day.Montauk fishing at its best and only 7 miles from my inlet.If Hemmingway could have wrote a story out of a Codfish trip in Jersey,today would have been the day.I have some pics coming up,just did not have time to take many pictures while we were fishing.

Check out the readings,that is Codfish stacked along the bottom.

3-5-11 The ocean stayed nice for us most of the day.The ground swell was growing by the time we made our last stop the ocean started to get a bit nasty,but overall it was a decent day.The fish were biting again,good amount of short cod spread around the boat and some real nice keeper size cod with the largest fish of the day going around 25 lbs.High hook had five keeper cod along with some shorts,and around the boat we had everything in between.Three of the nicer fish today went over 20 lbs.!!!Some of the nicest fish we have seen all season.Some ling mixed in with the catch along with some eels and lots of dogs.Check out some of the pics.Tomorrow is a wash,high winds and seas along with heavy rain will keep us at the dock.

Check out the pool winner,I would say about 25lbs.
