 The two best words that discribe the fishing is diverse and plentiful ! Big beautiful weakfish finally showed up this week with more consistant action with fish to near 5lbs . The action was best on either live peanut bunkers or artificials. Husband and wife team Laurey and Terry were out for great action with big weakfish, fiesty blues, blowfish, king fish, porupine puffers, and piles of fluke keeping only 2 of the fluke . Regular Jay Simmons was out for more of the same great action with big weakfish, bluefish,fluke, blowfish;king fish, seabass, porgies, and porcupine puffers, and if that wasn't enough variety as we approached the inlet and found clean ocean water pushed deep into the bay thanks to a incoming tide backed by a brisk Easterly wind which led to schools of false albecore busting on rainbait . The albies were all over the waters surface but their lighting speed and shallow 2-4ft of water that they were in made connecting with them frustrating. Patience and skill won the day as Jay was finally able to connect with these silvery lighting bolts on light spinning tackle!! ZZZZZZZzzzzz ! Jay also landed this year's biggest weakfish at 5lbs.2oz .moving into first place in the Reel Fantasea onboard tourney which qualifies him for a free open boat spot or 1/2 next years back bay trip along with a trophy. A last minute cancellation has led to next thursday available Sept 3 for either and open boat or private charter bay/inlet/ocean .

 An Open boat with regulars Jay Simmons , Joe Franke and Wayne Salvi joined forces for reel screeching inshore pelagics action! After a bit of searching the guys patience was rewarded with solid action with false albies,and with skIp jack, big blues and boo hoos making the mix as well [ frigate mackerel ] . Initially the first few fish responded best to deep trolled spoons but as we trolled the area we found more cooperative fish hitting feathers right in the prop wash . The feathers also produced the most crushing, rod bending, drag burning action and visual excitement ! Once the guys had their fill of the high speed trolling we anchored up and started to pitch live peanut bunker into the water for a couple more bluefish and to watch them get assaulted by unidentified assailants that were chasing them clear out of the water. Making our way back toward the inlet we tried a quick drift just West of the Barnegat Light artificial reef system to find the current requiring more than 14oz to hold bottom. At the inlet the guys ended the day casting artificials at for a couple1-3lbs blues. FYI Wayne Salvi's hot streak continues with this years Reel Fantasea onboard tourney . Wayne now leads 3 catagories with biggest - striper, fluke, and now bluefish ! He is on fire ! Will his hot streak continue ? Can he be beat ? Will he take biggest weakfish as well ? Time will tell.
The next day Jay Simmons was out again with business associates for fast action with blue fish , 4 limits of black fish to 5lbs, countless throw back fluke with only one hitting the ice, king fish, blowfish, bergals and searobins . September 24th scheduled Open boat trip has 1-2 spots available. This will be a mix of bay/inlet/wreck . October open dates will be 8,15 and 30th. These trips will be a mix of inlet/wreck for stripers/blues/seabass/porgies.....

 This weeks main player was ... you guessed it, feisty 1-5lbs bluefish all you can catch. Large porgies, trigger fish , blackfish, and under sized fluke spiced the mix as well. Thursday was "sporty" in both weather and clientle with Fred Scalera formely of ESPN sports network joined by his boys in a stiff NE breeze making the inlet a little "sporty". The guys had a blast catching blues on light spinning tackle while using artificials. Former proffesional Kansas City baseball player/ manager and now TBS/XM Radio and Baltimore Orieols anouncer [whew!] Buck Martinez was out with wife and friends in still brisk NE breeze and sloppy inlet condtions to bang away at loads of bluefish till the weather pushed back into more calmer waters to play catch and release with undersized fluke. Regular Joe Franke was into another solid outing with the blues in calmer inlet condtions. Changing gears over to some bottom fishing Joe mixed it up between porgies,triggerfish, and blackfish ending the day with some jigging and catching [ but not keeping any] fluke. Brent Burger and friends were out slamming blues in remarkable inlet condtions with crystal clear waters . The blues could be seen approximitly 15ft down raveging a bait ball [ really cool !]. They ended the day again drifting for some more throw back fluke.

 Tropical trigger fish, bluefish, blackfish,fluke, and large hand size porgies have made up most of the catch this week . Weakfish on the other hand have remained missing in action for the most part. Are we on yet another downward cycle for our beloved sea trout ? Only time will tell. The Hilly Berlin Party was weathered out due to thunder and lighting storm but a last minute cancallation saved the day as we were able to proceed as planned the very next morning. The party of 5 had steady action with 1-3lbs blues on arificials. After getting their fill with the fiesty blues we moved to some brisk bottom fishing ending the day landing a nice mix of tropical trigger fish, jumbo porgies, blackfish and huge bergals. The Bill Stussi party was met with more weather in the way of steady rain and a Easterly breeze that made condtions challenging for the guys. The guys managed a pick of blues in the 1-4 lbs range but they had to work hard at every fish they boxed as condtions and bite were note in our favor . The September 10th Open Boat trip booked up but I do have 2 spots left on the September 24th , anyone interested in the 24th, we will be mixing in some wreck fishing along with bay and inlet fishing should call or email. I will be adding a 3rd Open Boat date in September as well as interest has been very high.

 The first weakfish started to show this week but unfortunetly the bite was a meager one at best. Stong Southerly winds started on Thursday and contined through Friday clouding the back bays water possible adding to the reluctant bite. Fortunetly up by the clearer inlet water species such as bluefish, schoolie stripers, blackfish , fluke and tropical trigger fish and pin fish were willing to fill in the gaps. September is one of the most beautiful months along the Jersey Shore and fast approaching ! We still have a few dates left and will leave September 10 and 24 available for those who are interested in open boat trips , if interested call or email asap for details. These trips will be sailing for "Fish De Jour " or which ever is most productive at the present time.
Best Regards
