Water temperatures however now are finally falling, target fish and baitfish are on the move and we have seen some outstanding wreck fishing lately with the sea bass and lots of chopper sized Blues as an added bonus catch. Capt. H. D. Ran a special 18 hour Sea Bass Tilefish fish trip this past weekend fishing over top of wrecks and stone piles in the twenty to forty fathom range and was very pleased with a mix bag catch of slammer sized Bluefish lots of Jumbo Sea Bass up to four pounds and plenty of Blue Line Tilefish up to about twelve pounds.

Believe me when I tell you it has been a long busy summer here at the Wharf and to save time and valuable sanity, I have just been posting all of our pictures, videos and a few short words about how the fishing has been by posting on our facebook page. This is a really good time to get out on the water and try and catch some fish, the outlook is very promising for continued good fishing in the days and the weeks ahead for just about any targeted species in our region right now be it inshore or off so get out there and give them a shot.

The Flounder have really been on the move over the past couple weeks and now we are starting to be able to rack up some impressive numbers on a lot of nice fish even in some less than favorable conditions. Perhaps it's just that the water has turned enough for these flatties to have emerged from the mud, or now you can actually keep a bait on the bottom longer, but several of the traditional spots have come alive in the Delaware Bay with Flounder just this past week.

Croakers have already shown up in some very good numbers along with some Kingfish and small Trout that seem to have massed in the shallow sloughs of the Bay, and out front in the Ocean we are already starting to see some decent catches of Flounder on the old grounds and there are still some nice Sea Bass and Ling for those that venture a little further offshore fishing over some of the deeper shipwrecks and structures much further off of the beach. With the amount of Croakers already around up in the Bay, and with the good sign of Flounder that we have already seen it looks like the fishing is going to be good for both the Half-Day and the All-Day trips.

Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report May 13th, 2014 A lot has changed since my last report, the weather has been more in our favor, the water temperatures have been on the rise very nicely, and just about anything that you would expect to fish for and to catch at this time of the year has been pleasing anglers now for well over a week.I actually lost count of the citation sized fish that we have landing along with countless fat females that we released and returned to the bottom with hopes of catching a nicer fish or perhaps a big male fish as we culled through the many blackfish to get our limits.
