Weds. 7/27 report

Had two good trips today along with a good showing of people. What usually happens is when a boat has a good gang the fish do not cooperate , that wasn't the case. Picked away all day with keepers all around the boat with both experienced and novices catching fish. Both spros and bait worked good but we are finding that the gulp bright green baits help. Joe Murphy of Aberdean took the pool on the last drift with this 8 lber. Pool fish have been averaging 5 to 8 lbs lately. Looks like good conditons for Thurs so hope we can do it again. Thanks for looking in.

Tuesday 7/26 Report

Had a fair morning with very slow drifting conditions, but we ended up with good action at the end. Jim Guito of Atlantic Highlands took the pool with a 6 lber and junior angler Lee Samuels of Navesink came in second with a 3 lber. In the afternoon we had much better fishing, catching over 50 keepers. Jim "Zeke" Jackson of Bloomindale took the pool with a nice 8 lber. Also pictured are John Mundjer of South River, Jason Grasso of Highlands, and Dennis McGinnis of Middletown with pool contenders.

Had an ok morning with Harry Tran of Parsippany taking the pool with a 5 1/2 lber and Joe Asfore of Clifton catching 2 to 5 lbs.

Wayne Turner continues his streak of catching a couple of nice keepers per trip with a 3 1/2 and a 5 1/2 lber that day also. That afternoon Ralph Carloni of Leonardo caught a 4 1/2 and a 6 1/2 lber. Nice going guys.

Tue 7/19 and last few days

Fishing seems to be slowing up in the bay so we may start venturing out in the ocean. Just few keepers last 2 days with ok short action. On Sunday Wayne Turner of N Bergen took the pool with this 6 lber and on Monday 7/18 Arnie Goldblatt of Clark landed a nice 8 lber almost the the whistle for going in on the morning trip. Bring down some heavier rods as we may go to deeper waters and use heavier sinkers when conditions permit. Thanks, see u soon.

Fri - Sat 7/15 & 16 report

We have been catching some nicer fish the last two days but the number of keepers are not as good as we like. On Fri. A M trip Mike Gussovak of Dunellen took the pool with a 5.5 lber. On Sat. John Leone got 3 keepers up to 3 lbs, Earls Mom Jean Farwell a 4 lber, Ken Fraiman of Edison a 5 lber and the topper for the week was Jeff Mathis of Staten Island with 5 keepers on the morning trip in cluding a 5.5 , 6.5 and an 8 lber. which took the pool. He then came back out on the afternoon trip to catch 2 more keepers including the pool fish of 8.55 lbs. Hope he went home to play the lottery. We also drooped a couple of bigger fish so come on down and try and catch them. Here are some photos of the last two days.

Star Ledger newspaper ad correction on Friday, July 15th

In our ad published in the Star Ledger on Friday, July 15th there was a misprint. We are NOT chartered for our morning trips this Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th. We will be fishing our normal open boat schedule of 2 half day trips, departing at 8 AM and again at 1:30 PM.

Monday to Thurs 7/14 report

Had a fair week with some adverse conditions like yesterdays wind in the morning but still managed to put some catches together with decent short action. Too much wind or having it in the wrong direction hampers where we can fish. The next couple of days look good though provided the ship traffic in the channel doesn't get us. Hope to see you in the the next couple of days.

July 10 fluke report

Had one of the best mornings yet with over 50 keepers and over 300 shorts on 2 drifts for the morning with one being 2 hours long. Pool fish was 7 lbs with a couple other contenders. The afternoon was also good but with a little less action. Even some youngsters got in on the fishing action yelling ' more dinner ' when they caught a keeper. Mike Tomasso of Linden took the pool with a 6 lber just beating out Bob Sabo, although u can't tell by the picture. Here are some of todays catch. Thanks for checking in. Capt. Hal.

July 9 2011

With cooperating conditions we had some decent fishing producing a good amount of shorts and 1 to 3 keepers for some. In the afternoon we tried different areas then the morning with almost the same results but produced a coouple of bigger fish. Jersy Boys John Mundjer and Dave Fernandes simultaneously hooked these two beauties while fishing along side each other at the end of the afternoon. 8.3 lbs for John and 6.5 lbs for Dave, good job boys. Hope to see you soon.
