The New Jersey Outdoor Alliance (NJOA) urges sportsmen to get to the polls on Tuesday as the future of our fisheries could be at stake. The NJOA has endorsed Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno for governor, based on her record of support for fishermen in the battle with the ASMFC earlier this year to preserve the 18-inch fluke minimum. Capt. Pete Grimbilas of the NJOA points out that Guadagno "had our backs" as DEP Commissioner Bob Martin stuck his neck out to save the fluke season. Guadagno sat down with the NJOA to answer all questions, but Grimbilas said attempts to do the same with Phil Murphy were not responded to. Grimbilas  suspects that so-called "environmentalists" have influence with that campaign -- which is bad news for fishermen and hunters. The Fisherman magazine has also supported Guadagno for governor. Capt. Rob Semkewyc of the Sea Hunter said there was fine jigging for keepers over 28 inches -- many of which were also released.There were some bonus bass from 24 to less than 28 inches, but few shorts. A 17-pounder took the pool. Capt. Ron Santee was very happy, after a slow start with small bass on his Fishermen, with the volume of keepers once he got into rougher waters with strong currents. More keepers than shorts were caught, with a 16-pound pool winner. At Belmar, the Golden Eagle couldn't find the ocean stripers they were seeking, and went back offshore to jig lots of jumbo blues up to a 23-pounder.  They plan to start with the blues on Tuesday, and will switch to stripers in the afternoon if the reports are good. At Brielle, the Jamaica has room on canyon tuna  trips sailing at 7 a.m. Tuesday and Nov. 14. Call 732 528-5014 for reservations on those trips as well as the first offshore wreck trips for giant sea bass at 11 p.m. Nov. 11, 17 and 18.  Capt. Ryan Bogan reported fine sea bass fishing on Jamaica II with boat limits except in Saturday's winds. Many of those sea bass are from 3 to 5 pounds -- and there are also lots of big porgies. Some flounder were caught on a couple of trips. Roger Bonsante of Paterson added a 25-pound cod, and Grover Medkil from Philadelphia had a 5.2-pound  flounder. The Jamaica II sails 12-hour sea bass trips at 5 a.m. Wed.-Fri. -- plus 14-hour runs at 3 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Though still rough, the surf was surprisingly clear this morning when I cast at Sea Girt and lost two small bass on a Tsunami Eel. The drop-off was was so turbulent that any lip-hooked fish was bound in tear off in the undertow. Jim Hutchinson Sr. sent the following report for the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association:  Black sea bass action is still good on the wrecks and reefs off the port of Beach Haven, the mahi and tuna are still offshore when conditions permit trips out there, but the annual striped bass migration has the captains anxiously awaiting their arrival. Spiny dogfish have arrived on the wrecks and reefs close to shore, making it difficult at times to get some consistent actions going on the sea bass. Those pieces of structure a little farther offshore still seem to be free of the pesky dogfish and are still producing a steady bite. The canyons are still holding a very high number of mahi-mahi, with fish being caught by working lobster pots and other items such as weed lines and pieces of debris. This is a cast type fishery on light gear. Other mahi, often larger, are also being caught on the troll. The overnight chunking action has been spotty at times although the chum slicks have been attracting some swordfish and sharks to spice up the action. Daytime trolling has been producing its share of tuna. At last report a large mass of striped bass were just off the mouth of Raritan Bay. With some continued cool weather these fish should be showing up off Beach Haven in anywhere from a couple of days to a week or so. These are big fish, and it is important to take advantage of them when they show up. The BHCFA captains are ready to troll, jig, or fish live bait when they get here. There have been reports of a good number of 40-pounders caught up to the north.
