Monster-sized striped bass have appeared in the Cape May rips and Delaware Bay, and their abundance and size has stopped the offshore tuna hunters in South Jersey dead in their tracks. This is a typical fall run. When these big fish appear, everything stops and people get out as 35- and 40-pounders are common and fish over 45 pounds are not uncommon. Read the full story..

Delaware Bay Striper Fishing Has Been Good!

admin — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 14:27:02 +0000

Even though the N.M.F.S insist that Mackerel is abundant in the area, just like the last few years we couldn’t find them. On a Bright note though the Delaware Bay Striper fishing is heating up. We heard from other Captains that a few nice sized black drum were also boated this weekend.

Out at the Seabass grounds there were reports of good Seabass catches in the 6 pound range. At the Tile grounds there were good catches of Blueline and Goldens some up to 45-47 pounds. Seems like the Doggies are biting pretty good so far this year. The bait choice for the tiles was squid while the Seabass were biting on Butterfly and Diamond jigs.

So, it looks like were off to a pretty good start and some GREAT fishing as we get closer to May.

We still have good dates for outings available but they are starting to fill up. If you’re thinking about going out Just give the OL’ Captain a call.

With spring finally here we’ve been working on getting the Tara Anne ready to go. She will be ready any day now.

The water temp has been in the 43-44 degree range and there are already reports of stripers hitting. Although it is a mixed bag right now with quite a few shorts there are definitely some keepers! Clams seem to be the bait of choice.

If you’ve been thinking of going out now is the perfect time to set up a trip. There are still good dates available.

We know the economy is tough right now and will work with you to ensure that your outing is affordable, exciting and fun!

While the Deep Sea Fishing in NJ has been somewhat hampered by the unpredictable weather, don’t be fooled! There is still plenty of great fishing to be had at the New Jersey shore. If you’ve been fishing NJ for anytime then you know that fall can be an explosion of great fishing. Deep sea fishing NJ this time of year can be some of the best fishing you will ever experience. So, be patient calmer waters are only days away.

Even though the weather and high winds kept many boats at dock(including the Tara Anne) this week the boats that did make it out report very good catches. White Marlin, Swordfish and even a few nice yellow fins were all landed this week. Along with nice catches of Sea Bass, Croakers and Dolphin one that weighed in at over 45 pounds.

So if your a fishing nut like me there is still plenty of good weather and great fishing to be had!

The Weather may be cooling but the Fishing’s Getting Hot!

admin — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:49:49 +0000

With September just a couple of weeks away it’s still a great time to be deep sea fishing NJ. The weather may be cooling but the fishing’s getting hot. We’ve seen a real mix being boated the last week or so and even though a lot had to go back there were some nice fat keepers. Blues, flounder, sea bass, weakfish and even some good sized croakers are showing up. As the water temp heats up so are the larger catches. Please remember that although the sun may be shining bright it’s always a good idea to bring along a hat, jacket or sweatshirt and gloves. Even at this time of year an ocean breeze can be bone chilling. If it’s a cloudy or overcast day or looks like it might sprinkle while your out be sure to bring along some rain gear, its always better to be prepared than not. Also, take along sun screen and sunglasses, even tough the Tara Anne has plenty of room to duck out of the sun. The last thing you want after having a great day pulling in fish is to go home looking like a lobster. We bring towels on board so you can clean up after the catch, but with the little ones, you might want to bring along something extra. Not everyone wants a tuna-tasting peanut butter and jelly sandwich And lastly, be sure to bring your camera, film, and fresh batteries. You just never know what you’re going to catch or see, and time after time we hear our customer say they wish they had brought their cameras to capture a great day and some wonderful memories. Deep sea fishing in NJ, there’s never been a better time.
