Yes, We are Fishing

Apologies on the delay posting, but we were without power until last night. We made it through Irene just fine, and are fishing our regular 1/2 day schedule: 2 trips daily, departing at 8 AM and 1:30 PM.

8/19 & 20 report

We have been fishing the deeper waters of the channels picking away at shorts and getting some nice keepers. Friday afternoon T J Cressy of Dunellen N J caught this nice 8.5 lber . Saturday A M John Doll of Middletown showing 2 of his 3 keepers and Jim Lee of Palasades Park with a couple of his keepers including the 6.2 lb pool fish. In the afternoon Jim came back out to get another pool with this 6.4 lber which just beat out Jaysen Jackson's of Matawan 6 lber. Dont forget to bring some heavier equiptment to fish the deeper waters where you may need ten or twelve ounces to hold bottom.

Correction on Sat. 8/13 report

Sorry Johnney - John Mundjer of South River took the afternoon pool as well. I previously said Biff Pein ( spelled wrong in report also) came in a very close second for the afternoon pool. Have not been out since then with the lousey weather and nobody showing up to go out. We will see what happens today but it does not look good by the forecast.

Saturday 8/13

Had good fishing both trips and good size groups which never go hand in hand . None of the boats made it out on Sunday with the heavy rain. Mike Veet of Middletown P A had 5 keepers to 3 lbs as did Marilyn Rheingold of Parlin had 5 to 5 lbs, John Mundjer of South River 5 keepers to over 8 lbs and the pool, and Dave Fernandez 4 keepers to 6 lbs. This was only some of the catches. In the afternoon Biff Pynes of New Brunswick took the pool with 4 other keepers.

Weds -Thurs 8/10 & 8/11

We had some on and off trips depending on the conditions and where we can fish. When we could fish outside in the deeper channels we saw more action and some bigger fish. On Weds afternoon John Strozyk of Long Branch caught a nice 6 lber but lost a bigger one. Pete C of New Brunswick got one of our biggest a 9 1/2 lber. On Thursdays p m trip Scott Rever of Basking Ridge took the pool with a 6 1/2 lber. Here are a few photos. Thanks

Past week to 8/7

Fishing on Sunday had alot to be desired with a pick on shorts and just a few keepers. My cousin's daughter Molly Hagaman of Toms River showed the guys up by tking the pool. Saturday 8/6 was much better with about 40 keeprs in the A M and 20 in the P M. The days before had fair fishing but a few nice fish mixed in.On Friday, Johan Schreier of Suffern N Y got this 6 lber. Here are other pics from earlier in the week like Bob Sabo of Carteret 6 1/2 lber and Wayne Turner of N. Bergen. Also pictured is Jim Lee of Ft. Lee.

Monday 8/1

Picked away in the morning on shorts with an occasional keeper mixed in. The pool winner, and first keeper over the rail, was caught by Karen Edwards of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The afternoon action wasn't as good, but the couple of keepers that were caught were of good size. Pool winner was Keith Connoly of Atl Highlands at 6 1/2 lbs, and the runner up was Sean Kozick with a 4 1/2 lber.

Thurs 7/27 thru Sun 7/31

We had good fishing on Thurs A M trip but only picked on the P M trip. Vinny Fahrion of Toms River took top honors On the A M trip with this 6 lber. Since then the fishing is still ok but the number of keepers has decreased . The short action for the most part is still good depending on the drift conditions. Sat. A M Mike Vincenzo from Staten Island caught his pool fish after catching himself first with a hook in the finger so he deserved that fish. Sunday A M Jimmy Lee of Fort Lee took the pool with this beauty. Thanks for looking in.
