With only one exception last week's steady North East winds didn't keep anglers from catching tons of bluefish and a few nice keeper stripers aboard the Reel Fantasea. With "Small Craft Advisory" well in place for most, if not all of the week we found ourselves keeping to the back bay. Luckily Barnegat Bay's safe confines kept us well protected and catching fish!
Thursday's open boat found regulars Jay Simmons and Karl Steffan joined by Ken Purzycki starting off the week battling moderate NE 10-15mph winds and loads of cooperative bluefish all trip long.
Next up was the Fred Gockely party to battle 20-30+mph winds and tons of bluefish. Fred got a bait passed all the voracious bluefish and scored a nice keeper striper before trips end.
Friday evening open boat had regular Jay Simmons back again to be wind tested with Bill Cohen and new comer's Steve and Ryan Gross. The trip started off slowly and didn't get much better from there as we only landed a few bluefish and one out of two keeper stripers.
Regular Joe Franke and Clan closed out the week with more fantastic bluefish action and a keeper striper in cold, cloudy, and blustery conditions. The guys endured punishing weather and were rewarded with hot action throughout the morning.
I have Thursday 6am - 11am available for private or open boat and 2 spots for this Thursday and Friday evening open boat trip 3-8pm. All bait and tackle and fish cleaning is included - $100.00pp.
