 This week both me and Friend Capt. Dave DeGenero of the" High Flier" finally got a chance to fish . Conflicting schedules have plague both of us for quiet some time but with the Easter Holiday weekend came small window of opportunity for the both of us and his boys Nick [10] and Max[8] to get out and do a little winter flounder fishing we couldn't miss out to try our luck. The winter flounder continue to be picky but the size of the flounder is well over the 12" size limit with most of the flounder being 14" and some of the fish approaching 17". Hopefully the next Reel Fantasea fishing report will include more in the way of stripers and possibly even the first arrivals of bluefish as the calender dictates them to arrive in the matter of a week if not days. Look for blues to arrive no later than the last week in April. Stripers are already running thru out the bay but time and tide dictates success. For those of you who are not aware or have not yet seen , Barnegat Light has it's own version of " snow bird" . Over this past winter we had a few seals that made barnegat Light their "Winter Getaway " . This particular seal has made the floating docks his/her home for most of the winter, cute huh ?
Best Regards,

This weeks weather did not help the winter flounder activity, due to most of this week's sun was shrouded by a combination of fog and clouds along with cooler temps and rain and when the sun finally showed itself ,strong NW winds blew over 30mph!. On the upside the first blue crabs have started to show up in my crab pots along with plenty of Jonah crabs [ white leggers] . Ahhh! Sweet spring at last . The Ernie Rosenberg Party was out for a hard earned catch of a few winter flounder in fog and rain. The guys fished it as hard as anyone could in less than desirable condition and still managed to catch a few flounder and have a fun day. For you New Jersey Angler Magazine fans [ who isn't ?] Starting in April I will be writing for the magazine threw the 2009 fishing season offering fishing forecast [ for my area], tips, and techniques . May 1[ Open boat- call if interested] , May 7,15,28 are the last remaining dates left in the month of May. May is a great month for blues , Stripers and trophy weakfish as they arrive and are usually very cooperative and ravenous from their journey North !

 This week started the 2009 fishing season for Reel Fantasea Charters as we kicked off the year with a "warm up" winter flounder trip. Regulars Joe Franke and Jay Simmons picked away at 14"-16" winter flounder, boxing a total of 6 "fatties"[ not flatties] with a few missed fish to keep the guys on their toes and interested till trips end. It wasn't great fishing but the weather cooperated perfectly [ Friday 60f] and it was fantastic to be back at it with Friends Joe and Jay and sharing some laughs and good times and reminiscing about trips past and future. The fish seemed to be spread out between the "BB" and the "BI". Lots of chum,bloodworms and patience seemed to be the ticket.

Although the Reel Fantasea is still high and dry for another 2 weeks I did manage to get out and find some very encouraging results with early season stripers. None of the fish were bruiser by any means ,nor was it a Slam Fest but there diffently was enough action to keep my attention for 3 hours in the cold and cloudy weather . Hey, at this time of year any action is good action. All fish were caught on blood worms . The first open boat trip for this year will be April 29th and will be targeting stripers and blues in the back bay on a combination of bait and artificials, anyone interested can call or email .
Best Regards,
Capt. Steve
