The best surface casting bite of striped bass in Raritan Bay I've ever seen occurred Wednesday afternoon while fishing with Chuck Many of Annndale on his Ty Man from Gateway Marina in Highlands after an 11 a. m. departure and a stop for gas before getting out just in time for the outgoing tide. The Jamaica has another canyon tuna trip set for Nov. 14 at 7 a. m. -- and is also taking reservations (732 528-5014) for the first giant sea bass trips to far offshore wrecks Saturday with a few spots left for a 1 a. m boarding plus Nov. 17 and 18 at 11 30 p. m.

The forecast for tomorrow is for diminishing winds and we will be fishing. We will be bottom fishing for sreabass porgies and blackfish leaving at 7 30 and returning between 2 30 and 3 pm.

The guys managed to land upwards of 35 keepers to 18 and 1 bonus fish before the tide crapped out and called it and early afternoon. 

No sail the past 2 days. We will keep an eye on Friday!

Many big fish released again today to fight another day. If not, Saturday the winds are suppose to decrease and we will be going.
