Barnegat Ridges

Monday, 19 July 2010

This week we changed things up a bit heading out to the Barnegat Ridges for some high speed trolling in hopes to find some pelagics but also to escape the persistent heat wave inshore. The results were disappointing at best as we only managed small 1-2lbs and some frigate mackerel for our efforts, look for this to change anyday !

Wreck fishing continue to offer great action with seabass,blackfish and even a few ling making the mix while the backbay and inlet continues to offer schoolie stripers, blues and loads of short fluke, [ patience is definitely in order to put a few in the box] We have been cast netting live baits before each trip [ mullet and bunker ] in hopes to coaxe only the largest of "flat fish" , well be careful what you ask for. Large leviathans in the way of huge cow nosed rays have been testing both tackle and anglers on the live baits - they have been straightening and breaking hooks right off our 50lbs braid [ these fish are powerful !] !

Just a reminder for those interested in joining us on Face Book @ Reel Fantasea Charters and view some of our video and pics of the week . I would also like to mention that anyone chartering with us does not require any New Jersey fishing registry [ although its not a bad idea to register] as we cover angler onboard.

I have a couple of spots open for this Friday Open boat for those looking to mix it up in the backbay and inlet area or possible wreck/backba/inlet combo trip . In this heat it would seem crazy to even think about our Fantastic Fall fishing but we are booking up fast this season for those interested in some of the best action anywhere with stripers, blues, seabass and blackfish.

Don't miss ,out reserve your date today !
