Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report April 15th, 2014 For a few weeks now we have been trying to run a limited schedule with our regular Full Day trips sailing around the weekends, and for just as long we have been plagued with virtually every weather scenario that you can possibly imagine in our region and we have battled much colder than normal water temperatures in the Delaware Bay and along the Atlantic coast.It would be a couple more weeks before we even thought about taking the ropes off of the boat.

There is no doubt that we have encountered some tough times this fall with our Tog fishing and with the continuous battering that Mother Nature seems to want to dish out to us but we have most certainly seen some good Tog trips on the inshore wrecks and artificial reefs, the Sea Bass fishing has been very consistent whenever the weather has allowed us to get offshore where the Bass are right now, and finally after all the reports of the big Stripers being landed up north these fish have showed up in our region in full force and it is looking as if we will continue to see good action with the Tog, Bass as well as the Stripers right up until the end of the year now. For the last few weeks the best Striper fishing had been mostly in the upper reaches of the Delaware Bay or well up the coastline off of New York and New Jersey however now the migratory fish that have been moving down the Atlantic coastline are right outside of our front door in force and are willing to take a live Eel or live Spot.

While fisherman aboard the Bass trip were busy winding in Sea Bass from the deeper water and filling up their coolers, we were experiencing fishing that resembled watching paint dry or grass grow trying to entice a Tog to bite a piece of crab in the hard running muddy current. This same scenario is playing out again today 11 06 in what was forecasted to be the nicest day of the week there we sat once again waiting for the Tog to begin to bite while Capt. H and his group of eager anglers were offshore beaming up the Bass two and three at a time and once again catching limits and filling up the coolers with the tasty Sea Bass.

Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Oct. 22nd, 2013 After a solid eight days tied to the docks while a pesky low pressure center swirled near gale force northeast winds right into the heart of our coast we finally resumed our daily fishing a week ago yesterday and we have been out every day since, catching and cussing at the ever so elusive Tautog. Fishing for Tog after a storm of the caliber we witnessed is certainly a roll of the dice just to begin with and I was happy to see any biting fish at all.

It's official our drifting days for specifically Flounders are pretty much done now and all of our efforts will be for the Sea Bass and the Tautog or whatever else may be willing to bite our hooks fishing primarily at anchor over structure. As far as how many Sea Bass we will be seeing in the next couple of weeks is anybodies guess, so far it does not seem like there are the big numbers of these fish around like we sometimes see at this time of the year but we will certainly be catching some just maybe not the freezer packer days of the early 2000's.
