Fantastic Barnegat Fishing

Sunday, 16 May 2010

Barnegat Bay continues to be fantastic fishing on light tackle for big blues and stripers on poppers. There is so many bluefish in Barnegat Bay right now it gives me pause to even think about rinsing my hands over the side of the boat [ I'm not kidding]. Thurday's Open Boat with Cy Collins , Ray Tringali and Tom Wilson with son James had solid action with bluefish and a few stripers all on poppers and plastics . Technique and skill was required for the striped bass as proven by regular Cy Collins landing the most bass with the bluefish seemingly crushing everything and anything. The Ryan Coleman Party enjoyed more the same action with Ryan again proving "The Touch" was needed to score with the stripers . The guys were doubled and tripled up through out the trip. We even had multiple 8-10lbs bluefish on the same plug ! Regular Joe Franke was out for the same hot action with big blues on artificials in various locations through out the bay until a thunderstorm chased us in early . The John Donahue party was out in hopes for some stripers but found only bluefish willing to play , the guys were quadrupled up at times on light spinning tackle until trips end !

Best Regards,

Capt. Steve Purul

This was our second year fishing with Steve. My boys and I look forward to the trip and plan to take another in the fall of this year. Steve is incredibly knowledgable and always seems to find the fish. We had a great time this trip with all four of us catching big blues on light tackle. Made for a GREAT day! Can't wait for the next trip!

Unreal non-stop big blues action on Friday! Hopping from school to school and hooking into stripers on the back-bay flats made for a great trip.

There's nothing quite like the explosion of a line-side blasting a popper in two feet of water... Thanks again Steve for your usual prowess and class act! We'll be back.

Steve always finds the fish. The stripers were gulping on poppers and the blues were huge - fighting both species on light tackle was a real challenge and a lot of fun. We'll be back soon.
