Not much to report, some trips are decent, some are slow as molasses, but every trip is a new adventure. Pool winning fluke have been between 2.5 and 5lbs.
Capt. Dave De Gennaro had good news about weakfish as mostly 15-to-17-inchers have shown up on the west side of Barnegat Bay. There were also a couple of 23 and 20 inches that hit killies while Hi-Flier from Barnegat was drifting for fluke. Bluefish of all sizes are abundant in the inlet, and are hitting poppers and soft plastics along with a few short stripers.
We started where we caught nice keepers yesterday and only found a couple of fish there. We made a couple of moves and found some nice keepers and worked that area for the rest of the day with high hook catching their limit of fluke.
Made both morning and afternoon trips again today. On both trips we fished in Sandy Hook Bay. It was a bit breezy which gave us a pretty fast drift but it was not rough. The fishing was not good but we picked at some shorts and managed a few keeper fluke.
Summer has officially arrived in Beach Haven, and the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are turning their attention to the summer species of fish. This means offshore big game fishing with sharks being tops on the menu right now. Some big makos have been reported in the area along with other species.
Mid day it was slow and we finished the day up with a few drifts where we were able to pick some blues tight on the beach a little further south of the rocks.
