Captain Phil Dulanie and Capt. Mark DeBlasio were busy over the past few days fishing with the Andrew Grew charter on Friday and the John Dale Charter on Saturday morning turning right around with the Ron Patagnia charter Saturday afternoon. These trips were all on the 48’ Viking with Capt. Phil Dulanie at the helm. We fished both days up off of Deal and Long Branch in 40-55 feet of water and pulled fish on Mann Stretch 30s and some on bunker. The afternoon bite on Saturday was not that great but Friday and Saturday days found excellent fishing. On a very rare – one time event – we used the 60’ Ritchie Howell on Saturday for a striper trip with the Chris DiGregoria charter who took out his kids for a great day of constant action. We stayed on the troll most of the day and the kids had as much fun reeling in the half a dozen bluefish we caught, since they actually tried to “jump”, then they did the 20+ stripers they fought and lost most at the side of the boat as they were given the net and told to have at it.
