Monster Sized Striped Bass Hitting Hard!

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:17:25 +0000

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..

Deep Sea Fishing In NJ Update

Captain Joe — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 22:47:04 +0000

Currently the flounder are moving out of the back bays and into the ocean around Wildwood, Cape May and Delaware Bay. The flounder fishing has been good and should improve even more at the water temp goes up. The shark season has come to an end for the summer this will resume again in the fall as the water cools. The Tuna are starting to show up now as the water temp rises and should be good in the next week or two, and should remain good till the end of August. Call for open dates some weekend dates are still available.

The Pros and Cons of a Head Boat Vs. Charter Boat

Captain Joe — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:15:12 +0000

There is barely a day that goes by that we don’t get a call for someone looking for a head boat and not a charter boat. However, there is a very big difference between the two that most people don’t understand. A head boat is much like taking a bus leaving and returning at a special time each day. On a head boat you pay by the head (per person) a fare and ride and fish with other people who also pay there fare.

This has some benifits and some downsides; the benifits are the cost you pay on average is about $65 per person and you don’t need a reservation. This is only the real benifit to a head boat. Some of the downsides to a head boat are it can be over crowded, no personal service, some cases you never see your captain, you have to pay to rent a rod, and have to pay to have your fish cleaned. When chartering a boat; however it costs slightly more if you have 6 people.

We get $550 for the day that averages out to $90 per person, you don’t have to pay to rent a rod, and you get your fish cleaned for free. Some other advantages of a charter boat are you can leave and return on a schedule that is suitable to you and your crew. You also have your own personal service by both the Captain and the mate.

You can also set the tone for the day, it may be funny to you if one of your friends has been drinking all day and is loud; but it may not be funny to you if your stuck next to some guy that you don’t even know all day that has been drinking and is loud. On a head boat you have know choice as to where you are going, on the Tara Anne(charter boat) we discuss this with most charters, to see what is best for them.

Sometimes the wind direction may have the Ocean ruff and the Delaware Bay calm or visversa, this maybe important to some one that is prone to seasickness. There have been times we left a spot due to the wind and tie conditions to look for calmer water, and sometimes cut the charter short if the charter choices to do so. On a head boat even if 99% of the people are sick and there is still people fishing and time left they are going to stay on schedule.

Call Capt Joe for dates available or if you have any questions don’t hesitate to call.

Captain Joe — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 12:58:21 +0000

If your thinking of going Deep Sea Fishing in NJ this is what is Happening Now!!! The Drum are bitting again with the full moon aproaching this weekend it maybe your last chance to catch them for this year. The SeaBass fishing has been very good with lots of action and on some trips that action has been non-stop but a lot have been throw backs. With the water warming up the Fluke/Flounder should be moving out of the back bays now and moving into the range of the charter boats. Some fluke are starting to be caught in the Ocean and Delaware Bay as of this writing so don’t wait any longer go out and go fishing; some prime weekend dates are still avaiable.

Bang on the Drum!!!

Captain Joe — Fri, 01 May 2009 02:39:01 +0000

If you’re thinking about drum fishing do not wait any longer; there here and bitting. These fish enter the Delaware Bay in Mid April and usually stay around till Mid June; they range from 20-90lbs and put up a great fight on light tackle. These fish can be caught during the day and also at night; we have always felt that the late afternoon to sunset is the best time to go. Not only on this trip will you get to catch a big fish, you will also be able to see a beautiful sunset. These early season Drum trips also can produce catches of Stripers. To Charter the Boat for one of these trips it is $650 for 8hrs up to 6 anglers. Ocassionally we run Open Boat (meaning you can come alone) Charters for these fish and we get $125 a person for 8hrs; if your intrested in this trip or any other deep sea fishing trip in NJ give us a call for avaiablity.
