Sea Bass reopen in NJ

Sea Bass reopens from 3 fish to 15 fish at 12.5 inches on September 1^st through September 6^th.  It will then be closed till October 18^th when it will reopen for 5 fish till December 31^st.  We have been waiting all summer to get out there and lode up on this delicious fish.  With the great flounder fishing in the ocean and the abundant number of mahi-mahi around this is a great time to get out on the water.  So get the boat all geard up and ready if you do not have a boat get on a charter boat if the captains are all booked up jump on the party boat.  What ever you do now is a great time to get out and do some fishing.

Huge Cobia in Sea Isle City

Sean M and his dad Don headed out to do a little flounder fishing yesterday at the ocean city reef and after a couple throw back flounder and one keeper they drifted past a pot flag and sall 2 huge Cobia.  Sean was ready he had a rod rigged with a fluorocarbon leader and hook.  He reached in to the minnow bucket and grabbed the largest minnow they had and casted it toward the huge fish. The minnow landed about 5-10 feet from the cobia he immediately wet full speed at the minnow jumping out of the water as he ate it.  Sean and his father where in for a 30 minute fight.  Armed with nothing more than a small hand gaffe the two of them where able to wrestle the fish in to the boat.  The cobia hit the scales at 86.4 pound and 62 inch JUST shy of the NJ state record.

Big Tuna in Sea Isle City

Joe, Karl, Ricky and Frank headed off to the deep on Saturday afternoon in search of tuna and they were not let down.  They started trolling late in the afternoon looking for bait and signs of life.  Around dusk they set up to chunk and after a mere 5 minutes hooked in to a very nice yellow fin on a butterfish.  After boating that fish, they decided to try some jigging and hooked in to a huge big eye after fighting it for over 2 ½ hours the line got tangled in the prop and the fish was lost.  But the crew did not lose hope they regained their composure and reset the lines they did not know what was about to happen.  Minutes after lines were back in the water another huge hit again on a jig.  Geared with a 6 foot 6 Heavy Shimano Trevala and a Lx 6.0 Avet loaded with 80 pound Power Pro purchased only hours ago here at Sea Isle Bait and Tackle they knew they were capable of landing the big fish at the end of the line but it was going to be a long battle.  They hooked in at 11 pm and boated the huge big eye at 10 am the next day.  It was an 11 hour battle of will, talent, strength and determination.  When all was said and done the crew returned to Sea Isle City with 2 yellow fins and a 6 foot long big eye.  Hats off and congratulations gentlemen.
