2011 was another great season for us another great spring striper run with some real monsters to 42 and countless personal bests for our clients, a great summer of fluking until Irene, and one of the best fall runs of bass we've in years with limits EVERY TRIP. The cod fishing this spring and part of the summer was also a great surprise, and we hope to see that again in 2012.

Just after 9 we found the motherlode of birds and bass working a bit to the north, and quickly filled the boat limit in no time with some nicer fish to 34 14 , and were throwing back keepers as well as plenty of shorts in the 25-27 range as well as some gator sized blues. Overall we had a great day - caught fish on every drift but 1 and boated approximately 40 bass, keeping only the boat limit as well as a half dozen bluefish in the 5-15 range.

This weekend's charters, both days, were cancelled - Saturday due to Snow Rain and today Sunday due to gale force winds. This is the FIRST time I've cancelled a charter outside of December due to snow - things are getting VERY frustrating now as we are rescheduling trips now into the spring.

Had to be in 12 today so we called it a day early, but boated somewhere between 60-75 porgies and a few tog, with just 1 keeper. We then went a bit further north and made a few drops for porgies and tog and found an ok bite on both - easily limited on tog to just 16 and added some nice chops to 2 as well as several out of season would-be keeper seabass.

Written by Capt. Allen Sunday, 18 September 2011 19 04 With the hard NE wind and a serious case of EARLY cabin fever setting in, I polled the crew yesterday to see if they wanted to go down Barnegat Bay to target blowfish and other bay bottom fish because of the hard NE wind that was a blowing and the 5-7'ers that awaited at the inlet - 4 of the 6 crew members obliged and we picked up 1 more and headed out at 7AM with all-stars such as Flukemaster Larry and Fred M onboard. Most of the blowfish we kept were in the 8-12 range, with the biggest around 14 (we had about 10 that size) We had a productive day despite the hard NE wind, and the crew came home with nice bags of blowfish drumsticks for the fryer!!
