With the prevailing afternoon southwest winds kicking up nearly every day last week we still managed to dodge the bullet and landed some quality fish on nearly every trip and the action with the throwbacks and the keepers at times has been hot and heavy. Over the past week I have seen several days when winds were over twenty knots, when the wind and tides are somewhat together life is good these fish are spread out over miles of bottom and drifting along is a good thing.

During the middle of the week with some moderate winds and swells out in the Ocean I actually fished up in the Delaware Bay a couple of days in a row and pulled off some decent catches with Flounder up to nearly eight pounds while staying comfortable at the same time. Both the Croaker action on the Half-Day trips and the Flounder action on the All-Day trips should continue to provide anglers with some serious fish catching action for several more weeks.

Great weather and calm seas have the water temperatures climbing, fish have been on the move, and the Keeper Flounder continue to hit the decks with my All-Day trips. We continue to have almost constant action with both throwbacks as well as good numbers of nice keeper Flounder nearly every trip and we have seen lots of limit catches along with fish over four and five pounds taking the pool on every trip.

Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman s Wharf Fishing Report June 23, 2009 It s been another decent week of catching Flounders here at the Wharf despite some weather that that seems more like spring than the beginning of summer. While most of my fishing the last two weeks has been out in the Ocean there is also a good number of Flounder up in the Delaware Bay and we have the option to go either way with the varying conditions on any given day.

Perhaps it was the full moon currents causing the fish to move, it may even have something to do with the nearly 100 boats fishing in just over a square mile of bottom over the weekend, (you can only catch a keeper once) but we have now spread out in the search and destroy mode trying different grounds. Regardless of the weather and what type of clothing we don while out fishing we will continue on with our regular summer schedule here at the Wharf running daily with both the Full and the Half-Day trips.
