We Left the dock @ 10am on the Reel Happy with Stan, & Brian. Headed out around the tip of the hook to find some good fatty flatties! Jumped around and fished 50’-80’ with no absence of 16.5 inchers! Biggest fish of the day was 20”. Kept our 4 overs and a couple slot 17”-17.99” inchers. Until next time….. #flukefishing #sandyhooknj #highlandsnj #marinaonthebay #charterboat #charterfishing #njfishingcharter #alanticfishing
Late in the striped bass season as it is, adjustments are necessary. Finding good marks is just part of it. Need patience and a crowbar to pry their mouths open and actually eat our offerings. They were indeed stubborn and it took some coaxing to get them to respond well. We got everyone their fish and one for the crew but that last one for a boat limit looked like it wasn’t gonna happen. We called lines out as the last bait was being reeled in a healthy bass crushed it. Minutes later it was boxed and we pointed back to our slip. Great group of guys again!
I will be targeting sea bass and Fluke this month and mid June will also be targeting Thresher sharks followed by tuna.
You might remenber Parker the 10 year old last week.. Well his grandpa gave us a referral. Since Parker's group did well the bar was set high for todays run.Before we even cleared the " no wake zone" we put a keeper in the box. Didn't take long to fill our limit.The fog was as bad as i can remenber but we beat on the bass releasing a mountain of em!
10 year old Parker brought his dad and grandpa for today's trip.The bite was on fire early on.Twice we had double headers on the same tandem mojo rigs.We had a good enough pick of fish that after boxing our first 34" keeper,we were able to hand pick 3 fish at 37" inches(one inch short of maximum size you can keep) for the table.The bite slowed and we kept a 32" inch to insure we had our limit.The bite slowed but we didn't quit and we released a pile of fish along with the 5 keepers. Parker's crew rocked the house...
Got some bass for Joe's group as we started out looking around and had several bunkers splashing all around buty won't hit the shads or top lures.We put the white mojos out and it did't take long before hooking up instantly..A few more caught and couple of run offs to finish our day.All in all we had a good day out and about.
