Shawn Mullen Live-Lining Striper Limit

Had Shawn with buddy Ed, and his best client, Barry on board. Made bait and ran straight south, got on the first pod which was close to a mile long and figured out the best area to fish. Wind started howling from the south and fish headed in that direction. set up way south of the fish, and had 2-3 on per drift. Got our limit in short order and played C&R for a while. Landed close to a dozen bass up to 40lbs. Decided to shift gears and try some inshore sharking no touches, so we tried some fluke only shorts. Great trip today, this charter was my only skunk trip from 2010, so this was sweet revenge with some great guys.

Horst Klein Live-Lining Striper Limit

Had Horst back for his second trip this season, this time the wives stayed home and the boys came out to play, he brought Ed, Steve,Scott,Kevin and Herman. Made bait and made a beeline straight south to a bite that was going on at 12 noon? Got there and had our limit in the first hour. Steve had the big fish 50 inches 26 inch girth, figured it was about 48lbs! Went on the drift for sharks no takers, came back to the pods and landed some more fish, which were released safely and headed back to the barn. Good guys with some outstanding fishing.

Seidman Charter Live-Lining Trip

My Boss, Barry Seidman chartered the boat for a 4-hour afternoon trip, he brought along Dr John Butel from Jersey Shore Hospital. Made bait right outside the inlet, tried stopping on some marks but no takers, water temps 54 degrees. With limited time, made the run north where the bite has been on. Went on the drift once I found the right conditions, 50ft depths with a color change had 50 degrees on the clean ocean side, brown tidal side had 53 degrees. Drifted through towards the warmer side and got the bites, not as fast as it has been, but landed 3 stripers to 25lbs. Had blues to 12lbs, and missed some fish that ate baits close to the boat.
