    Other than Saturday's trip offshore for the Sea Bass and Ling with one of the nicest crowds of the year, we have spent all of the rest of our time drifting for Flounder with some pretty favorable results when the weather and the conditions allowed. As for variety we have actually seen a few Croakers while dragging the big baits fishing on the old grounds and a few snapper Blues and Sea Robbins in the mix but these fish have been sacrificed for the fresh meat bait.

    At times the action was very good with the Sea Bass and Ling and we even managed quite a few nice Flounder for our efforts during a couple of our trips. We will be targeting these fish pretty much every day that the weather permits us to drift on my All-Day trips and I would expect that most of our effort will be jigging the structure bottoms of the old grounds unless a good shot of flatties shows up in the Bay so stock up on the Bucktails and the teasers we will be using them.

    There are definitely some nice Sea Bass around but not like years past, if your looking for freezer packing action and limit catches of fish I'm not your guy, and last but not least - does the wind never stop It's been a rollercoaster ride with the Sea Bass since the opening, we have absolutely seen some of what I would call some very good fishing but we have also seen the other side of this coin. We have endured moderate to heavy winds and seas at some point on virtually every trip we have made so far this spring fishing for the Bass except for just a precious few calm days.

    Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report May 29nd 2013 Despite the fact that the best description that I can give our first full week of our Sea Bass season would be a low grade at best, we have actually at times seen some decent fishing, some very nice fish in the mix and for the most part some very happy anglers when they got off of the boat. While I would only give the Sea Bass fishing maybe a high C as a grade without a curve those anglers that were weeding through the countless throwbacks that we have come across at times have been having an absolute blast catching fish and I can honestly say that just about everyone that has fished with me this past week has managed at least a good fresh fish supper or two and in a few cases much more.

    Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report May 22nd 2013 There's a lot I can say about the 2013 spring Sea Bass season opener and the subsequent trips following that big day, however much of what's really on my mind might not exactly be suitable for print. We caught fish, we actually caught a lot of fish but it just wasn't the lock n load Sea Bass fishing that you would expect for this time of the year.

    Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report May 14th 2013 I was a little disappointed for the last full week of the open Tautog season only getting away from the docks a few times but the fishing remained good right up until the end and as far as the fishing in general goes, the decent weather brought out the best week of inshore fishing so far this year. I think we stand a good chance of catching a few nice Flounder before we make the switch once Sea Bass season opens on Sunday.

    It was ultimately only a matter of time before the wind would kick up again however the fish for a while would bite for us every bit as good as they had been biting all week long and once again we had limit catches for nearly every angler on the boat!The last couple years we were able to get out a few days fishing for the Drum or it is possible with good conditions we may even try drifting for some Flounder.

    Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report April 30th 2013 We managed to get out four times this past week fishing for the Tautog and our results were anywhere from as good as it gets with limits for everyone on-board to just a mangy pick with some hard running currents that would accompany the full moon tides just in time for the weekend. The Tog fishing has been very good to us so far this year, prior to this past weekend just about every trip that we had made to date had met with limit or near limit catches for the entire boat with some very nice fish.

    Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report April 22nd 2013 Water temperatures continue the upward climb despite the less than favorable weather and as a result the fishing scene is turning on along the Coast and up in the Delaware Bay. Just about every species of fish that you would expect to catch at this time of the year has been caught with hook and line over the past week and as the weather gets nicer and water temperatures continue to creep up the fishing is only going to get better.

    Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report Fisherman's Wharf Fishing Report April 15, 2013 Finally some good weather with even a little taste of summer now has water temperatures rising and fish on the move. As with typical Tog fishing action, some lucky or skillful anglers (you know who you are) would excel right out of the gate making short work of an easy limit and throwing fish back while others were trying to figure out why their hooks always came up without the bait that they had just put on.
