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.
