Captain Lenny reported we fished 10 miles north of our inlet. It started off slow for most of the day until mid-day. We got a report of fish down the beach and we ran there and were able to get a shot of fish and had numerous throwbacks. We picked a couple fish on a few drifts and at the the end of the day we ended up with a dozen keeper stripers and 35-40 throwbacks and a few blues. Sean Litwine from Hunterdon County caught a 61", 175-180 lb bluefin tuna! Our pool winner today was Aden Warner from Philadelphia, PA with a 19 lb striper. Way to go Sean & Aden!
The past few days we have been staying out later because the fish are not biting early. Most of the good striper fishing has been from mid-day to late-day and we are staying out later to catch them.
We are sailing daily for stripers and blues from 7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. until the mackerel starts. We will begin sailing daily for the mackerel when the water gets colder in the next week or so. We will keep you posted.
