Last weeks heavy rain which may have led to a drop in the bay's salanity seems to have taken it's toll on the fishing , along with a skyrocketing ocean temp of the low 70's has "proded" the cows [ stripers ] Northward. With less rain over the last few days the fishing seems to have started to rebound in the bay. We have finished up with chasing bunker schools for now as trips which ran as far North as Spring lake [ just shy of Asbury Park ]found only huge schools of bunker swimming carefree with only slight signs of agitation with no hook ups or run offs. We will continue to target schoolie stripers , blues, fluke , and weakfish in the bays all summer long as they will usually provide plenty of action. Along with offshore trips to wrecks , reefs and ridges for bonitas, false albies, mahi...... On the up side of the fishing scene , As of 6/29/2009 pm 2-5lbs blues were all over the inlet area with a few schoolies stripers thrown into the mix to provide some action on artificials and wreck fishing has been very rewarding with some "Reel" nice seabass and ling along with throw back blackfish it makes for some "drop and reel" fishing action ! coupled with the bags of snow white delicious fillets these trips are flat out a blast!

 Will somebody turn off the water works ? or should we start building the ark now ? I think I actually saw a mushroom growing out of the head of a squirel or was he just wearing a rain hat ? Part of the week was met with a little more potent weather [ wind,rain, lighting] than we could safely fish in . When we did make it out we found 2-3lbs blues, a couple of stripers to 15lbs, and a 4 1/2 lbs fluke williing to cooperate. Regular Wayne Salvi and crew were out on Friday for a solid bite with 2-3lbs blues on light spinning tackle . After the guys got their fill with the fiesty blues we headed torward the inlet . Traveling in and out of the inlet was ok but , a steep and hazardous sea condition did not produce a favorable or safe condtion to fish the inlet properly Back in the bay we found some more birds working over a bars edge . Working the area did not produce at first but as we worked the edge down current Wayne scored a nice 4 1/2 lbs fluke . This now makes Wayne the leader in 2 catogories in the Reel Fantasea's onboard Tournement [ 43lbs striper , 4 1/2 fluke ] . Can Wayne continue his hot streak ? Time will tell . As the outgoing tide abated against the Easterly swell it was time to fish the inlet. The guys ended the day with 2 stripers . The first was a 27" that was released and the 2nd at 32" 15lber hitting the ice. It mighht sound too early to even think about but ,anyone interested in our Fantastic Fall fishery might want to reserve your dates now as the calender is filling at a record pace !!

 Regular Wayne Salvi was aboard with his brother in law Mike and business associate Mike Balkum for fantastic striper action on live bunker. The stripers had the bunker packed tightly along the beach in fog and drizzle. At times there were visible 30-40lbs class fish inhaling bunker on the waters surface. The guys were doubled and even tripled up with huge stripers through out the trip not only getting their limit but also playing catch and release as well. The biggest bass official weight was 43lbs with the majority in the mid to upper 30's.
The foggy and rainy condtion served us well as we had the fish all to our selves for awhile and left them biting !!!!

 Early week saw new comer Charles Lee for a slow pick on a 3hr back bay trip mixing it up with fluke ,blues and and throw back blackfish. Friday's marine forecast for small craft advisory kept regular Jay Simmons and crew in the back bay . Although we didn't get outside for shot at the big boys [ stripers] that day the guys clobbered 23 total stripers in rain and wind , getting their limit to 17lbs!! . Bass Master honors went to Rick Rogers . Rick had his carreer day of 10 total bass . The guys were doubled up constantly with bass on through out the trip !
Best Regards,

 This weeks action was inconsistent to slow at best with tides that ran from high tide to an even higher tide with mid week offshore disturburbance that may have been the culprit. Early week's trip saw the Dean Stankowitz Party go 1 for 2 on the troll ,dropping the first fish but the second rod went down immediatley with a 25lbs bass hitting the ice. From there we moved around a bit to find the schools of bunker spread out and challenging to snag and with no apparent bass on the meager schools. The Bill Saurer party was out for the best action of the week in the back bay in dense fog with the guys scoring a solid bite with both blues and bass too 16lbs on clams and bunker. The Jerry Kronemeyer Party was out for the slowest day that found not only the troll not producing but the bunker schools glued to the bottom making snagging impossible. Back at the inlet found the tide slack and the fish napping until we decided to wait the tide out and jig 10 fluke while going 2-10 putting 2 nice 19" and 20" fluke on ice . From there we moved around to find finicky action from small blues and bass bass on plastics until days end.
Best Regards,
