Off Shore Fishing is Heating Up in Sea Isle City

Antoinette C from Sea Isle City fishing with her Dad Al and had a great trip with some tuna Marlin and this Big Mahi-Mahi it was 23.8 pounds and 52 inches long.  The off shore reports have been excellent lately with Mahi’s as close as 15 miles and tuna as close as 25 miles.  The weather looks great this weekend to get out there and get your self a big fish.  

big flounder in sea isle city

More and more reports of bigger and bigger flounder keep coming in from the ocean mostly around the artificial reefs.  Hear is Jim and his daughter they had a cooler full of nice ones with the biggest being a 7 pounder 25.5 inches.  Don’t forget TI reef is only 3.8 miles out of TI boats of many sizes can get out there and get on this good fishing.  

kids fishing in the ocean

My nice Kaylee made her first canyon trip and this fish where there.  She reeled in this Mahi-Mahi all by her self and got a nice tile fish but she did get a little help with the 600 foot wind up on that one.  We all know its more work to take kids fishing you may not be able to leave as early or stay as late as you wanted.  Bet we as the fishing community need to get kids in to out doors activities.  The best part about taking them off shore is there phones do not work. LOL 

More flounder in the bay

Lindsey P and her Dad where on fire with a 4.8,  4.6 and another keeper.  The back bay has produced some very nice keepers over the last week and this weekend looks good so you better get out and get’um…

Tog Black Fish in Sea Isle City

To day is Opening day for Tautog / Tog / Black fish.  You are currently allowed one (1) Fish at 15 inches.  I’m getting reports of these feisty fish from several places including but not limited to the 8^th street jetty in Avalon the Avalon side of the TI bridge and around the jetties in SIC.  If you have never targeted Tog they are a blast possibly my favorite fish to fish for.  They are biting both salted clams and green crabs both of witch are in stock.  Get out and have some funn and good eating to. 

Back Bay Flounder Sea Isle City

Hear is proof there are still some big fish in the back bay.  Jim W from Williams Town was just in to get this nice flounder weighed in.  It tipped the scales at 6.8 pounds VERY nice fish.  He said they had a couple other keepers and a bunch of throw back also.  Now that the crappy weather has moved out for now we are getting some more good reports from the bay.
