Had Ana on board today with parents Debra and Joe, and family friends Caroline and Dean. Made bait in one throw and headed down the beach. Worked a pod in Lavalette nada, continued onto the fleet In Seaside and had a fish on in the first drift, landed the 37lb'r weighed on a certified scale at Clarks. Thought it was going to be a good day, not, fish would not bite and south wind began to blow! Ran back north to try some seabassing, just shorts and ling, charter decided they had enough of the conditions. Finished the trip in the river fluking which was not good. Enjoyed fishing with this crew, and congrats to Debra for her first Bass.

Once we got on the scene waited our turn, and it happened, Bass blowing our baits up out of the water, cool to see but missed way to many fish, Landed 3 to 36lbs and the fish vanished. Set up on the drift and landed another three with too many Bluefish. Good to see the Butel brothers again!

Had Art Murphy and the boys out for an afternoon trip. Left around 1pm and made our way north. Made bait easily and stopped on some good marks.

Managed to put two more bass in the box after weeding through tons of blues before the guys decided to call it a day.

Live-lining Trip with the Tom Swanson Charter

Had Tom back again this year with Buddies Dale, Chuck, Jon, Harry and Bruce. Made bait in one throw and went North, to say it was a slow day is an understatement. Tried every lump and spot I knew no luv. Tried bunker pods off Asbury again no Luv. Got call from Capt Paul and Capt Steve that there was a decent pick way south, decided to make the run. On the way found a pod of bunker and decided to take a shot, snagged and dropped two baits and it was game on! Proceeded to pick 8 fish to 40lbs, Clark's certified scale. Great way to end the day with some great guys that hung in there all day!

Live-lined and Marybeth landed our first and only keeper, blues and dogfish ate our remaining baits. Went back on the troll and no luv from there. Tough day with some great folks. Felt bad repeat of last year, slow with the wifes and when the husbands come back out in 2 weeks later it was slaughter, hopefully we crush them like last year in 2 weeks!

Had Bill back with son Billy and buddies John, Charlie, Jerry and Marcus.

Boat Move-Matt Hodges Charter

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:16:00 +0000

With the great ocean striper fishing from past weekend, and with Mat coming in from out of town, decided to move boat to Point and fish my way back. Mat had his dad Frank and buddies Steve and Bill. Battled Blues from the Hook down to deal landing over 20 to 10lbs. Finally found some Stripers with Matt getting his limit to 28lbs. Was only able to get 1 more keeper and battled, numerous blues, at least another 30. Today started out with a keeper on our first drift and that was it for the day. Put in the effort fishing all day and had only a couple of bluefish bite-offs for the day with the 1 Bass.

Fisherman Magazine Dream Boat Trip with Andrew Ogozalek Crew

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:13:00 +0000

Got a call from Advertising Sales Manager John Debona and Managing Editor Chris Lido. They had a Costa Rica trip winner that could not make his trip from the Dream Boat Contest. Asked if I could take them out for a day of Striper fishing. After talking to Anthony (Oggy), on the phone I agreed to take him and his crew of Tom, Mike and Luis. Made our way to the bait grounds and got over 100 pieces on our first throw, glad we did because that amount of bait barely covered the trip. First drop had constant action throughout the whole tide on Bass and blues. At slack tide we went on the drift and continued the bite till the guys cried uncle with sore arms and headed home. Had Bass to 22lbs, with Luis popping his Striper cherry and over 50 blues to 12lbs, great action with a fun bunch of guys.

Live-lining Striper Limit with Gerald Paige Crew

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 23:54:00 +0000

Had Gerald with buddy Hal Simpkins on board today, regulars who's charters will not start for another couple of weeks but decided to take advantage of the bite. Made our bait on the first throw and went fishing. Landed our charter limit in first 15 minutes to 28lbs, biggest of the year still in the bay. Then landed another half dozen before we pulled the plug on a great day. Look forward to seeing the rest of the crew in the next month.

Had Bill out today, goal was get live bait and liveline and chunk. Got our bait and made our way to our first spot, missed a couple of fish live-lining so we set up on the chunk on great marks. No luv just pulled hooks on more live-lined baits. Moved to a new location and Bill live-lined the first fish of the year for us which is very early. Went to the back where Bill caught one more to get his limit for before it was released. Great day on the water and good to know that we can live-line!

Had a couple of hours to kill this evening had my brother Ed (younger version of me in every way!), ex-mate and now Capt Joe, of ChasinTailsportfishing.com, and his buddy Steve. Decided to go big or go home made bait-bunker felt good to throw the net. No luv on the livies, chunks, or heads, wind against tide did not help. Went with the plugs and got our limit in the first half hour. All keepers with fish to 35 inches and all were fresh ocean fish.

Striper Beatdown with Larry Bruskin

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:48:00 +0000

First Striper Limit of 2012

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:37:00 +0000

Had long time regular Anthony out today. Checked tide charts and saw diminishing wind for afternoon and took advantage of fishing relatively calm waters of Raritan Bay. Will be in Brown's Point Marina in Keyport for a couple of weeks. Started out fishing swimming plugs and had our limit in the first 15 minutes, caught and released another half dozen. Anchored up and started chumming to get them on ultra light tackle. Landed another half dozen in short order. Great start to the new year!

Miami Trip

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:03:00 +0000

Had my annual business-fishing trip to Miami recently. Had the pleasure of running my buddy Gunther's 26 foot Dusky once again. Made bait at the usual spot and headed out to Fowey Rock. Found the color change in the depth I wanted and put out the live bait spread. After 15 minutes we get a bite and came tight on a nice 6 foot sail. Took some pics then released her, then downed a bunch of beers. Reset the spread and came tight on another sail with a pod of 3 trailing him. Decided not to bait another in the pod and focus on the one since we were shorthanded. Released her and headed back into shore for Happy Hour. Been fortunate to have constant action without the aid of kites, and flat non-windy conditions which most Florida fishermen would think is the kiss of death. When I have those beautiful conditions I really take the time to find the right color-perfect is powder blue condition (confuses bait-easier prey), or deep blue color in 100-150 feet depths. If see flying fish and weed in this zone I put in the baits. Hope you guys have a great winter and look forward to seeing everyone in the spring.

End of Year Tog Limit

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 03:21:00 +0000

Had the afternoon open to kill some time Called my buddies Scott and John and hit some local snags to tog. Went with the whiteleggers today in nice sunny flat conditions. First 2 spots where very slow. Third spot was the charm built the life and slammed the tog, had our limit and had many quality fish with few throwbacks. Had 4 fish over 9lbs, and 2 over 10lbs. Newbie tog fisherman John, had his limit and landed 2 of the 10's and one of the nine's, told him that is the best cherry trip for a tog fisherman I ever heard of!

Striper trip with the Mike Tyas Crew

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:27:00 +0000

Capt Keith was at the helm today, with Mike and Both Matt's on board he ran down the beach in dark to get in on the Bass bite. Had a good early bite putting 8 in the box. As soon as it started it was over. Weekend boat traffic made it tougher, but nice day out for the guys.

Offshore Bottom Trip

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 03:34:00 +0000

Had Hard-core regulars Sam M, Ed-Eamon, and Bill. Plan was to run way offshore and jig Cod and Pollack, then hit inshore wrecks for jumbo seabass that haven't made the offshore wrecks. Made good time to the 70 mile wrecks while sun was coming up, tons of Humpback porgies that are not llegal and bluefish. Very few big seabass and Pollack or Cod. Hit a few more wrecks same deal. Went inshore and found some humpback seabass, more porgies and doggies. Hit another piece and ran out of daylight. Wound up with 2 dozen keeper seabass to 5lbs, over 60 big porgies. Want to thank the guys for fishing hard in tough sea conditions, NOAA, got it wrong, 20-25 knot winds in 4-7 foot seas.

Striper Limit, Bottom Fishing with Adam Conley Charter

noreply@blogger.com (eSet Solutions) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 22:14:00 +0000

Had Adam out with Dad John and buddies Mark Sr and Jr, and Larry. Started out jigging our limit of stripers to 15lbs in the first hour down south, went into release mode letting over 20 go. Around 9am the guys wanted to try togging, after some practice they all landed their first keepers, landing 6, and releasing another dozen with some nice seabass to add to their catch. Great first trip with some great guys!
