Bud Miller and Melissia Gattone of Waterford NJ filled there cooler up with 10 beautiful fatties yesterday 6/15/2011 the largest was 4lb 14 oz.  Fishing behind strathmere most of the fish where taken on minnows or spearing.  I have been getting some very good flounder reports and this weekend looks nice so get out and get them.

Spearing are a tough bait they tend to fall of the hook easy. One way to have them last a little longer is try thawing them the night be for and salting them with a little kosher salt.  This will toughen them up a little and keep them on the hook a little longer.

We are open 5-7 Monday – Thursday 5-9 Friday & Saturday and 5-6 Sunday with a full line of bait and new inventory arriving every week.

No blue gills or tommy cats SHARKS

I have been getting some reports of good sharking in the last couple of days.  I know of several boats that have run of shore to the cigar area and had some makos. One boat with 4 up to 125lbs.  There have been several others that have seen the Big threshers jumping in shore 3-10 miles off.  We have chum, flats of mackeral, trolling squid and bunker.  The tuna fishing has also been HOT in the canions, just be sure to keep a good eye on the temp charts (you can find them on our web page) they are only biting in the hot water.  Boats landed up to 15 yellow fins up to 65lbs. There have also been mahi mahi and white marlen mixed in with a supposed sail fish too.

bass biting at night in the lights

Peggy Cunningham (my mom) of Sea Isle City NJ had this 9 lb 8oz 31in striper last night at her “secret spot” on a YO-ZURI swimming plug.  She also landed four shorts on different plastics including fin-s fish and bass assassins.  There have been several other reports about these bass biting at night in the lights so get out there who knows how long these bigger bass will hang around.

Mike Billups of  Philadelphia PA caught a beautiful 26lb 2 oz Striper off the surf.  The fish measured 43 inches.  Mike came into the shop the day before for a complete set up, Tica TC2 rod, Penn Fierce reel, clams and some Fin Strike Pro Series striper rigs.  We have a full line of bait and tackle with NEW inventory arriving weekly.  Stop by and check us out if you have not already.

Chris Salstrom of Mantua NJ just brought this nice 6 Lb 1 oz flatty in for us to see.  He got it in Ludlum’s bay with a mullet strip.  He had several other nice fish but all just a little short.  Flounder fishing is really starting to get hot so get out there and fish on this beautiful weekend. We will be open from 5am 9pm Friday and Saturday 5-6 Sunday 5-7 Memorial day.
