NJ Striped Bass with the Tom Lawrence Charter

Had Tom with repeat customer Don Geiss and buddies Bobby, Jeff, Jerry and John. Tom had invited 3 of the guys from Canada and they had never caught a saltwater fish. Jeff, Jerry, and John (the Canuck Crew), landed their first Bass on the first drift. This set the tone for the day, ended up anchoring and chunking another 5 fish, with Don getting the 30lb pool winner.

Striper Trip with the Mike Fox Charter

Had Mike with buddies Scott, and Chuck who brought Aunt Linda, and Uncle Al who drove all the way from Ohio last night. Got out bait and headed north first part of the drift landed 3 Bass with Linda catching her first Striper of her fishing career and Uncle Al and Scott landing one each. Slow pick, later in the evening the bite really turned on, Bass packed up the bait and had 5 on one drift. Mike landing his personal best on light spinning tackle, and Chuck getting 3 overall. Pulled the hook on some more, charter had enough fun, so went into release mode, then headed back to the barn. Landed 8 fish to close to 40lbs, no certified scale to weigh in.

Bottom Fishing trip with Tony Picaro Crew

Had Tony with regular crew of Joe and Richie, and newcomers Joe Picaro, and Barry. Started out bottom fishing up north and had a decent pick of 25 keeper sea bass, 1 cod with some throwbacks, and 1 dozen nice ling filling out the cooler. We had intentions on Striper fishing, but the nasty thunderstorms we saw and one we got caught in quickly changed their minds. Had a great time with the guys, wish the conditions held, their was a lot of bait out there, should be a good evening of Striper fishing.

Striper/Seabass/Ling for the Kevin Butler Charter

Had my fraternity brother back again this year with buddies Dave, Neil, Flag, and newcomers Art and John. Started out live-lining up North and was a frustrating morning went 2-12 on the Striped ones, in the twenty pound range. Decided to change the mood and have some fun, set up for some bottom fishing and cranked the tunes. Landed over 50 keeper seabass to 4lbs, with as many shorts with some nice big Ling. Great way to end a tough morning.

Striper Limit with the Belliot/Loiselle Charter

Had Mat with girlfriend Collen, and brother Greg on board. Started out trying to net bunker, very difficult today, had to snag. Tried Spring Lake, then Asbury, then Deal nothing, heard from 3 different captains how good the bite was way north!. Decided to make the run, glad I did, Capt Max threw once and we had what we needed. first drift we limited with fish to 32lbs, Collen's biggest of her career.. Went in to release mode landing another 8. went back towards home and landed another off of Asbury. total was 15 for the day. Cool thing was Greg landing his first Striper and Colleen with her personal best.

Day 2 with Matt Hodges Charter & Striped Bass Limit Again!

Today I had Matt, his dad and bunch of his buddies for their second bass trip in a row. First thing in the morning was hot on the pods but boat traffic killed that so we headed north and found some bass working the bunker there. By noon we headed in with their limit of 10 big bass up to 32lbs. Good day for a Saturday. We also dropped a lot of fish today. The bass were picking it up and dropping the baits after a 15 second run. Tight lines. ~ Capt Carlos

Striper Limit with the Matt Hodges Charter

Had Matt on board this morning with his Dad Frank, buddy Mike and Abe. Capt Max made bait this morning with a nice toss of the net getting 100 pieces. Ran south to the bite, Thanks Capts Jerry/Wayne (Monger Dudes) and worked the pods, made 2 drifts and had our limit on fish to 35lbs. Played catch and release the rest of the morning releasing another half dozen. Fish wanted livies no weight. Bite started in 20 feet in the morning and got deeper later in the day. Crazy season so far, can't get any better. Planned on bottom fishing but the charter went to Jenkinson's to get their drink on!
