    Stripers,,, still chewin'

    Hopped on The Gambler party boat out of Pt. Pleasant NJ. The bunkers have left our waters and the XL Stripers are now scarce. However sandeels are abundant and smaller Stripers are now jumping on the jigs. Since NJ does not have a commercial Striper fishery we've been fortunate to retain our...

    Had to give it one last try after the blow. Just a few flatties for us yesterday b4 we turned to other species. Blackfish is open in NJ for a ONE fish limit so we made quick work of those. They were voracious, at times hitting my crab on a jig b4 it hit bottom. Got 2 nice triggers on the...

    An Agent 86 kind of morning

    Do u know if Maine allows u to 'pinch an inch'? Some Atlantic states (not just NJ) allow this: Pinch the tail together and measure from the closed mouth to the end of the pinched tail. Make sure the tail is stretched out as far as possible when you pinch it together, see the image for...

    Finally made it to out the NJ/NY Deep for some Sept fluking. I was hoping to go on my buddy's Parker but he blew his Flywheel and he's now out-of-the-water. I hopped on a popular Atlantic Highland headboat and we fished Mud Buoy, 90' deep in most places. There were several NY and NJ headboats...

    Pre-Hurricane Fluking It seems that the fluke know it's coming and they've already gathered in their off-shore staging areas. I had 2 buddies on this NJ trip from yesterday, the Captain's write-up is below. I'm still catching them inshore but hope to get out to the deep this week, favorable...

    Henry's Honeybee Hits another HomeRun West is best and Jakesdad and crew did it again, 3 man limit this morning in perfect conditions. The drift was due west and easily repeatable. Our overs were all thick 21" triplets, the slots were harder to find among literally 100s of 16" fish. We left...

    Steppingstones Park

    I grew up there in the 60s and early 70s (Kings Point)! When flounder were abundant that place shined. We'd dig sandworms under the rocks there with a pitchfork and crush up mussels for chum. You'd catch 10 Bergals to every flounder but, hey, it was action. But our favorite fish to target...

    Fished the Pt.Pleasant Elks CLUB fluke tourney on Sat.. With ~ 175 boats registered this is NJ's biggest and most lucrative fluke event each year. I've been fishing with same guys for nearly 10 years now - we charter a 38' Henriques and fish hard but comfortably, the air conditioned cabin was a...

    For ocean fluking in NJ, a West wind is best. Today was our best day of the season as a light West wind with outgoing water pushed us from the wash out to 45 feet deep. They were chewing good today, even the shorties hit with attitude. It was easy to repeat our drifts at the most productive...

    Fine Friday Foggy Fluking &Thumbs-up on Gulp! "Baitfish" Hit the Ocean early this morning with Jakesdad and crew. We got about half a mile offshore and the fog hit us suddenly, forcing us to turn around and fish the river for a while. The action was constant and we never did go back outside...

    fluking looking for size

    Title of this thread made me think of current slot fluke regs here in NJ. With a bag limit of 1 > 18" and 2 between 17 & 18", many times we are throwing back overs looking for the smaller slots. ... smh..... and now we'll be doing the same with Stripers looking for 28-31" fish,,,, smh...
