Thinking Big Fall Stripers

7/31/22

   I'm really sorry I have not posted  fishing report in a very long time.  Fishing has just been that good!  June flounder fishing in the Ocean was decent with some big Flounder coming over the rail to about 7lbs.  We saw good action on most trips and some really nice sebass in the mix too!  As we got into July the TUNA bite exploded inshore for us!  Most tuna were in the 40-60lb range and we sure did where out some arms this past month!  Now as we get into August we will shift back to the Fluke grounds and have a ton of fun with them!   

We will be booking Fall Striped Bass trips on both the Backwater Skiff and the STALKER II.  I have not posted open dates for either boat yet...but i do have some openings for both boats.  The backwater Skiff will start its fall Striper trips in early September and go right up to before Thankgiving.  Then we will switch over to the STALKER II for ocean Stripers.   ** So NOW is the time to book trips on either of those boats!**

Give me a call to get on these trips...they are so much fun!!

  As my spring backwater season starts to wind down i want to give a report about the striper and big bluefishing that we had this past spring!  Fishing was nothing short of amazing with some stripers going over 20lbs and blues to around 14lbs,  i want to thank everyone that came out and fished with me this past spring and don't forget to book your fall backwater Striper trips which will start in September and go right up to Thankgving!  Don't Miss Out!!

We will start ocean fluke fishing on June 1st and then Tuna fishing on July 1st   Still very few dates left open for this summer... I suggest looking at the schedule page for the STALKER II and get a look at what is left.  You can always give me a call or text to ask questions or just to say hi!   I hope everyone is doing well!!

Just a quick note to let you know I've updated the schedule pages again for both the STLKER !! and the Backwater Skiff.  It's getting very close to the beginning of the season and if the weather stays mild I could start Striper fishing on the skiff in March   PLEASE don't wait to reserve your dates any longer,,,,they will be filled!!   

Give me a call  609-972-5218

3/9/22

 We should be starting our backwater season within the next 2 weeks  If you would like to try and give it a go, let me know...I plan on putting the skiff in as early as next week..with warming temps...i think we should be in good shape on the backwater Striper front.  Please read what i have just below this,,,thank you!

  As we all know, FUEL prices are on the rise, I will have to make adjustments to charter prices for this year.  If the price of fuel does come back down I will drop the price of the trips back down accordingly.  You'll see on the rates page for each boat that I have a dollar amount next to the the original number.  For now the number next to the original number will be the added prices to the trips...they could go up a little more or come back down to my original prices... but for now they will be the set price until we see what happens.

2/2/2022

Not much to report.  I just updated the Schedule pages for both the Stalker 2 and the Backwater Skiff.  I will only be fishing on the Skiff this April and May!  Striper fishing last Spring in the Backwater was amazing and Big Blues should follow that in May...Don't miss out!   Also thr summer Schedule is up for fluke fishing and Tuna fishing...I wouldn't wait to book....as you'll see....alot is booked already!!  Give me a call  609-972-5218

   I'm very sorry for the lack of reports!  Fishing has been fantastic this entire year!  We are just about to finish up fishing on the backwater skiff where we've nailing stripers this entire fall.  Now it's almost time to get out in the Ocean or Bay for the fall migration of bigger Stripers.  I just posted the openings i have for the fall under "Stalker II Schedule" just to the right.   Also, It would not be a bad idea to get your 2022 dates picked and booked....I already have a long list of people that have their dates in mind...so please give me a call for either booking a trips for this fall or 2022!

  Backwater Stripers has been great recently with bass going as big as 34".   Very good action on pretty much every trip and if you have a bonus tag you can keep one between 24-28".  I just updated the schedule page for the Skiff and also ther STALKER II for Fall Stripers.  I'm expecting aa strong fall with the ocean and Bay stripers for Mid November and December,  Amazing reports coming in from above us, so we should be in great shape.  Check the schedule page for both boats and give me a call ASAP!!

10/1/20

   Schedule pages for both boats are up to date right now!  Been backwater striper fishing on the skiff and most trips have been awesome!  Some fish over 30" are being caught and there are plenty of 22-26" fish!  Still alot of good dates open for that!  Also, if you plan on STRIPER fishing with me on the STALKER II,  I suggest you book soon because dates are limted already.   

One more note,,, I added a link on the right side where the pages are for my wife as she is now selling, finding and renting REALESTATE!  If you are looking for or know anyone that is looking to buy,sell or rent in the Cape May area, please give here a call...So She can work her magic for you!

  Sorry for the lack of reports here.  It's hard with fishing and everyday life to log onto a computer and update stuff...I know, lazy  lol.   I do have a Facebook page for the Boat's  STALKER FISHING CHARTERS, CAPE MAY NJ,   I do updates there alot... so please like the page and keep an eye out for reports and openings.   

Now on to the stuff you wanna hear.  I just updated the Schedule pages for both boats.  The backwater skiff will start sailing for backwater stripers in early September and will go into the middle of November.  Last year was a killer fall in the backwater and I expect the same this year with all the peanut bunker we have this year in our area.   The Stalker II will start sailing for ocean stripers around the second to third week in Novmber and go right through Decmeber.  i expect that to be good again this year.  Remember.  1 fish per man this year (28"-38") and you can get a free bonus tag from the state if you apply.  Go on NJ fish and game to get that.

 Also wanted to talk about the amazing Tuna fishing we had this summer and Deewater Fluke fishing.  Both we just about the best I've seen in my 20yrs as a captain.  We had nice Yellowfin Tuna to around 70lbs and Fluke to 10.2lbs this summer.  I will be sending out emails and texts starting in Decmeber to book for 2021.  so please do not wait. I plan to start Tuna fishing in Mid June next year...so be ready!   Again check me out on FACEBOOK.   Thank you

4/3

  Hope everyone is hanging in there with all the craziness in the world right now!  Please know that I'm thinking of you all in this and hope that evryone single one of you is safe as well as your familes.  I also wanted to assure you that if your trip does get canceld because of the Covid-19 Virus your Deposits are all still good and will be forwarded to another date in the future. So please don't worry about that.  I want to thank everyone that reached out to myself and my family to make sure we are safe and to see if we needed anything (times are tough for everyone right now ) and that means so much to us here at in the Jastremski Family.  Please, Please,Please take care of yourselfs and pray that this is all over soon and we can get back to fishing.  I will get back on the water as soon as it's legal to do so!

Thanks everyone

Busy guy I have been!  We had a great spring striper season this year with many fish going over or near 30lbs.  The biggest being 42lbs.   Drum fishing started off very slow and is getting a little better with the water temps starting to rise. 

The backwater skiff has been seeing some amazing action on huge bluefish.  Blues between 5-16lbs on topwater lures were had on every outing last week! 

We are quickly approching our summer fluke fishing time!  I just updated the schedules for both the Backwater Skiff and the STALKER II... so please give me a call ASAP to book your next trip!!

10/28

  I'm gonn be honest....I had this huge report typed up, about 4 paragraphs long and hit a button on the keyboard and it was deleted....ugh

The schedule for both boats is now current!

Basically the striper fishing in the backwater (On the Skiff)  remains hot and i will continue to do that into November!

The stripers in the Ocean/Del Bay are here now and will be getting thicker with each passing day!   So the big boat is pretty much ready to sail now!

****These are the new regs for stripers this year and additional info for you***

Striper regs for fall of 2015

1- fish 28" and above

1- fish 43" and above

1 - bonus tag fish 24"-28"

   The tag fish will be great for our backwater skiff trips as many of the fish from September through early November are 22"-34"  so there would be a definite chance to take a couple of nice fish home.  One thing you will need to obtain is a NJ Striped Bass Bonus TAG!!  You can go on NJ fish and Wildlife and get one there...They cost $2

10/6

Very sorry for the lack of reports!  Been fishing just about everyday on the backwater skiff and killing it!!!!!   Top water bite has been off the charts with fish going from 22"-32".  Some days we've had over 30 bites just on poppers.  I've just updated the schedule for both the Big boat and the Skiff.....give me a call ASAP!!!!!

Finally have a moment to update this page for reports and openings for both boats until November.  Please look at both of their "Schedule Pages" here to see what openings I have for both.

  Fluke fishing for us on the

STALKER II and our Backwater skiff has been very good the last two weeks!  Both boats have been putting meat in the box for the customers and Fluke to 9lbs have been caught! Trip of the week was 30 keeper fluke making the ride back to Cape May for some great eats!  Please look at the Schedule pages for both boats to see what is open...they've just been updated today!

7/7

Fluke fishng remains poor to fair at the moment!  I can't see it staying like this for very much longer...We will just keep trying!  There have been a few good fish had though..6-8lb range...so that is a good thing!

Tuna fishing was hot yesterday with Vincent Morgan group nabbing 8 Bluefin Tuna (Bringing 3 home) and a nice Mahi. 

Also the backwater skiff has been doing very well with chumming stripers.  On some recent trips we have caught as many as 60 plus stripers...this is a great trip for a father and child!!!

6/20

 Hey everyone,  Well the start to the 2015 Fluke season has been decent.  Fluke to 6.5lbs have hit the deck and we've boxed as many as 17 keeper fluke on recent trips.  Each trip is a little different, but yesterday you could see they were much more aggressive then the last trip.  I'm updating the Schedule for both the big boat and the Skiff right now.  Below this i will have the "Backwater Skiff " report!

(Skiff Action)

Great striper fishing being had in our back waters behind Cape May at the moment.  Some trips have had upwards of 60 stripers in one trip.  if you are looking to get a father and child trip out...this is for you!

  Drum fishng for us has been solid.  a few slow days, but for the most part we have been on the meat!  But a new chapter in the season will begin on 6/9 (Deepwater Fluke)  The fish are already here and waiting to be caught!  I just updated the summer Schedule for both the STALKER II and the (Backwater Skiff).  The backwater is starting to heat up with Fluke and Stripers...so if that is your bag...give me a shout!  P.S.  2 spots remaining on 6/9 for Deepwater fluke!!

5/21

    Hello everyone.   Hope everyone is staying warm and getting ready for the 2015 season aboard the STALKER 2 !    With this winter being so mild, I have high expectations for the (SPRING Striper fishing)!!!!  Wh

1/7

  Hey Gang, sorry I haven't updated in a while but with the Holidays and as much as I was fishing it was hard getting anywhere near this computer!   Fishing was very good at the end of the season for Seabass and Tons of Stripers!   We fished yesterday and caught nearly 200 stripers casting lures at them!  Most fish were 10-20lbs with as few over 30lbs.   This spring should be pretty darn good after what I saw on the last few trips.  I've updated the Schedule page for both boats and if you want to fish with me this Spring, now is the time to book your trip!  A side note, I will once again be moving the STALKER II into the Uppper bay for Spring Stripers....fishing was just to good up there last year not to!

12/3

 The Schedule page is now updated!   Striper fishing has been decent with some trips being better then others.  The rest of December should remain good!!!  I have plenty of good dates open...so give me a call if you'd like to join us for some late season striper action!!!!

11/18

   Fishing took a turn for the better this past weekend!   Fish from 12-43.lbs hit the deck of the STALKER II and it wasn't uncommon to catch them casting lures with fish rolling on the surface!  Now through December will be on fire!!!   I have some dates remaining in December...so give me a call  609-972-5218

11/14

     More big fish continue to hit the deck of the STALKER II.   On recent trip's we've boated 4 fish over 40lbs, the biggest just being over 50lbs!  There aren't huge numbers yet, but a fish of a lifetime for a few have been caught some already this season abaord the STALKER II.....Including myself (44lbs on a **Bucktail**)   With each day the fishing will improve and we will be ready for them!   I just updated my Schedule, 1 spot left for November...but plenty of great openings in December...Give me a call!!!

11/7

   Big fish are arriving!   On reacent trips we've had fish to 41lbs!!!  There are still alot of shorts being caught, but with every passing day we should see a nice influx of Stripers!  My Schedule is current and there are still some great dates for December....fishing should be hot right through the New year!  Give me a call~~

10/29

   The Schedule page for the STALKER II is now updated!   Striper's are gonna be here after this weekend, give me a call to get in on the action!

10/21

  Been still doing the backwater thing until the ocean stripers arrive.  Fishing in the backwater has been great with couple of odd days where the bite is a little tougher...but for the most part it's been very, very good!  On some recent trip's we've had fish to 32" on topwater plugs with alot of 22-26" that will do anything and everything to try to inhale your surface lure!  If you didn't get a chance to do one of these trips with me this Septemeber or October, you better try to do one next season.....they are so much fun and it get's you through the duldrum of the 2 month waiting period between Fluke and fall ocean striper fishing!  

  Also just an FYI, the water temps are starting to fall.  I saw 59 degrees in the backwater today and the ocean is around 64.  Anyday now we should have our first push of big fall stripers!   The Schedule for both boats is now updated....give me a call!

10/11

  Got some awesome news today about the migrating stripers!  They are only 50 or so miles up the beach and gorging on bunker schools!  This school of fish should be in our area within the week!   We will be ready for them when they get here!

  The backwater remains very solid with fish once again to 34" !   A lot of 22-26" fish with keepers in the mix!   Anyone that wants to expirence top water striper fishing should contact me before the end of October!!  I can do 2 person trips on the backwater skiff...please check for openings on both boats...the schedule is now current!

Pics below are recent fish caught on our backwater skiff!!!

10/3

  The Backwater Striper bite is on fire!!!!  I've been fishing the backwater Skiff and crushing bass to 34" on Top Water lures!   If you wanna get in on some early Striper action, don't wait....I can get you on them NOW!!!!   These trip's are 2 person trips only....So give me a call!!!!   I had over 20 myself this morning!!!  Look in the "BACKWATER EXCURSIONS & Schedule" and the top of this page to see dates that are open this month!!!

9/8

Sorry for the lack of reports but the Deepwater Fluke bite has been as good as it gets and the fish have been LARGE!!!  On most trips we've been able to box a limit of fluke with tons of action to keep everyone busy.  Fluke getting up to the 30" mark are hitting the box and with the Fluke season getting near the end, we have started to focus on Stripers!   I've just updated the Schedule pages for both the Stalker II and our Backwater Skiff.     Fishing in the backwaters September through October can be downright amazing!  Topwater Striper bites will be insane during this time, so give me a call to get in on the hot fall bite!!!!!!

7/28

Wow, crazy how fast time goes by when your on the water just about every day!   Fluke/Tuna/Stripers has been our targets as of late.  Deepwater fluke fishing has been solid!  Lots of really nice fish coming over the rails with tons of short action to keep us busy!  As we enter August the fishing will be very good and we usually will see some very large fluke...fun times!!!  We also ran a couple of Tuna trips that put fish in the box to neat 70lbs Yellowfin and Bluefin! 

On the backwater Skiff things have been hot with Fluke and Stripers!   Ation packed trips with rod bending action!  Fluke to near 6lbs with stripers up to 15lbs on top water lures.....it really doesn't get much better!   Give me a call for either boat...Plenty of dates in Septemebr for either one!!!

6/27

Been a busy guy the last few weeks between both boat's!   Fishing on the STALKER II has been solid.  We've had a slow trip here and there, but for June the fishing has been pretty darn good!  Some trip's have had over 20 Keeper fluke for the box with near 100 Throwbacks.....Tons of action!!!

The backwater skiff has been just as much fun!  some groups have had near 50 Fluke in a single 4hr trip with keepers to 5lbs in the mix!  We've also had stripers on topwater plugs to 34".   This is a great option for a father and a youngster to enjoy the calm waters of the ICW!

6/9

Both the STALKER II and the New Backwater Skiff have been doing really well in recent day's!  We fished the Deep for fluke for the first time on Saturday and had amazing results!  We boxed a boat limit of Fluke to 5lbs and easily caught over 70 Fluke!!!  Don't wait....they are already here!!!! 

On the Backwater Skiff we saw Weakfish to 4lbs and Fluke to near 5lbs with alot of really great action to be had!  I will be running the bakwater skiff all summer on a 5-9pm trips.   Fishing has been very good....The Schedule is updated for both boats....Give me a call!!!

5/30

So sorry I havent put a report in such a long time....but I've been fishing my brains out!!!   We ended our Spring striper season with some very large bass up to 40lbs.  Overall it was a decent spring and we plan on being right back in the bite next spring way up the bay again....earlier this time!   

 Drum fishing has been on fire!!!  We are seeing double digit catches on most trips, 32 drum one evening was our best trip for them in years!  Big fish for the year is still holding at around 80lbs, but we've had plenty of 50-70lb in the mix!

We've also been doing well on the Little boat in the backwater....Some really nice fluke, weakfish and stripers are what we are getting and these trips are just a blast because it's all light tackle!  I just updated the schedule.....Give me a call for either boat!

4/24

Up and down on the catching part of the business....but there certainly have been some nice fish hitting the deck recently!  Seems like with the really cold winter we had it has messed with the way things usually work.  The fish headed right up the river with out their usual hesitation to possibly feed on the way up there!  Reports are strong from up there and the rest of the spring striper fishery should end on a ver high note!  I'm fishing every day and I do still have spots open through the middle of May for stripers!  Give me a call!   609-972-5218

4/16

Sorry for the Delayed report, but I've been so darn busy with fishing!    I did move the boat way up the bay to be closer to the better fishing and it's been paying off!   We've had fish to 39" on recent trips and I know there have some larger fish caught in the same areas that we've been fishing!   Ation seems to get better on each tripand with the amount of bait that is in area that I'm fishing....it's just a matter of time before the fishing just explodes!!!!!!   Also, we've caught quite a few decent sized catfish if you can believe that....they are pretty cool!   I just updated the Schedule for both the Backwater boat and the STALKER II.....I have openings next week for stripers on the big boat........Give me a call   609-972-5218

3/26

Had Vince Ruggieri and his gang out today for the flood tide! Didn't take long for us to connect on the first keeper of the trip (second drift)! A nice 34" fat and healthy! Shortly after that we had a quadruple header which one was a keeper! Then things slowed down for a long time....about 1hr or so before the tide was slack all Hell broke loose! 2- 3 on most drifts and we eneded up boxing 5 for the trip and releasing 25!

Great job to my crew who fished hard in the cold weather and were super happy with the end results!

10/20 - "The bite is on"

And so it begins here on the STALKER II..... Today we had the Matt Murphy group on board for a short morning trip!  It started off slow and then 1hr before the tide was to be slack the bite started!   By the end of the trip the boy's put 4 decent keeper Striper's in the box and let go around 7 shorts!   We also missed quite a few...but being it was there first ever striper trip, I'd say they did an amazing job!  Thanks guys!!!!       Plenty of openings this week!!!!!

11/5 AM

TOUGH conditions for sure!  We only boated one, and the guys fished really hard too!  Just need the right conditions!

PM trip

We had much better conditions on the second trip! Still rough, but atleast the tide and wind were together! We boated 3 nice big stripers and had a few other bumps!

11/4

Finally back on the water!  Still though we had some tough conditions, but made the best of it!  The big surprise that the first keeper bass of the fall fell for my bucktail!  A nice 37" fish!  We also put 2 other fish in the boat and the biggest was a nice big 32lb fish!

11/1

We made it through the storm!  Thank Christ!!!  This weather has really put a hurting on the fall fishing!  We plan to start our offical striper run on 11/4....Today i had a few very good reports come in about fish to 38"!  I also witnessed a guy on the Cape May Beach chasing stripers and they were blitzing on baitfish!  It's Time!!!!  Just updated the sailing Schedule as well!  Give me a call!!!

Word of a few fish starting to trickle into the bay!  Hopefully with the cooler nights the fishing will break wide open!  I just updated the Schedule a few minutes ago!  Hurry and give me a call!

10/14

Striper season is on our heels!  I will be trying for them on 10/18 and 10/19 if anyone would like to try! Water temps are in the lower 60's right now!!!!  It's not unusual to get them this early and on most years we certainly do!  Also i just updated the Schedule page 2 minutes ago, so the dates you see are current!  Give me a call today!

9/29

What a sad way to end our fluke season!  I only fished 8 times for fluke in the month of September...some trips were great and other we just ok!  But now as the weather changes each day we start getting out gear ready for the most exciting time of the year......striper season!  Some years they show up the first week in October, but most years they show up between the 18th-20th or so!  I just updated my schedule page,so everything is current!  Get ready,  know I am!

On a side note, I want to thank everyone that entered into the "Remembering Adam" fluke tourny on the STALKER II this summer!  There were a ton of large fish landed, but none bigger then John Celestino's 8.1lber!  Congrats John....you just won a private fluke trip for 2013 worth $810!  Great job!!!

9/21

I'm ready for striper's!  There has been tons of wind lately!  We tried to fish today, but there was just too much wind and seas andwe cut the trip short!  On recent trips we have seen as many as 23 keepers with alot of shorts!  So the fluke are still out there if the weather will allow us to get there!  I still have spots open the last 2 days of the fluke season!  Remeber to book you striper trips soon....they are booking quick!

9/8

WINDDDDDDDY!  But i did just update the Schedule and also added my fall striper dates too!  Give me a call!!!!

8/25 - 8/28

WINDDDDY!!!  It's killing me!  I just updated the September Fluke dates!  Still have some left!  Give me a call...

Hey all.  Sorry i haven't been on top of te reports!  I've been super busy and fishing has been great for the most part!  Most trips are seeing atleast 20 keeper fluke if not more and alot of acion to fill in the day!!  Or course your gonna have your off days, but it hasn't happened much! 

Big fish for the remembering Adam tourney is at 8lbs at the moment.  But there is still plenty of time to get that big one!

Remember we are aloud to fish till September 28th this year for fluke. I still have some great dates left in September!

Also, striper season is right around the corner!  Now is the time to book those trip's!

8/5

Hey all, sorry i have been lax on the reports but I've been s busy boy and the fishing has been very good on most days!  I have plenty of openings for Fluke through September!  It would be a great idea to call ASAP to book your slots for these trips!  They will not last!  Thanks

Headed right back to where we had the afternoon before and no one was disappointed!  We boxed a 6 man limit of fluke and we were back to the dock before 12pm!

7/28

Did some moving around and it paid off today!  Slow start in the morning, but the afternoon turned on and we boxed 22 solid keepers to 7.9lbs which is the current leader the the "Remembering Adam" Tourney.

7/23

Again condtions were tough on us. Only 15 keeper fluke today and abou 60 Throwbacks.

7/20

Conditions were not great, but we did find 18 keepers today along with about 80 throwbacks to keep us in the action.

7/19

Ran back to the grounds after a day off and had to do some looking around to find them, but it all came together around 10AM and we boxed an easy limit of fluke to 7.6lbs.

7/18

The Schedule is currently updated!

7/17

17 keepers for todays trip!  Not insane action, but some solid fishing to near 8lbs!  Still very good!

7/16

Wow, another limit of fluke on todays trip!  We had to work and wait for the bite to happen, but it finally did!  Just awesome!

7/14  (The Duke Of Fluke Tournament)

My crew consisted of my dad, my wife my buddy Mike (Birdnd myself. Everyone was on the same page and fished their hearts out! When I say I wanted to win this year, that would be a understatement f r sure....no one, and I mean no one wants to win more than me....but then again it's great to be fishing with greats friends and your family!

Arrived to the area where we would call home for the day a bit after everyone else..(only cause my boat isn't a rocket ship). We started fishing at around 8:45am. On the first drift
we had bites right outta the gate..but just 17-20" fish...nothing to big. About the 3rd drift
"Bird" gets a decent 3 plus pound fish that was nice and eventually would get bumped out of the top 5 for the boat.

That spot dried up, but I knew later it would turn on there.......

So we jumped around and boated a few more keeper sized fish, then my wife nails a good one around 4lbs plus or so. Then another good one hits the deck in the 4's. By then it was near
11am. I said to the crew...I'm going back over the first spot. We set back up and caught a
few fish....the second drift all hell breaks loose on the deck of the Stalker II!!! First my dad gets the bite of his life! I knew as soon as he hooked it, it was big. He fought it perfect and
got the first monster to the net...a 28" 8.11lber Then just about 1 minute later my
wife is hooked up with a very solid fish that proved to be 6.3lbs. She dropped back down and
got snagged almost as soon as she hit the bottom. I handed her my rod and dropped another rod down that would have been hers and got slammed as soon as I touched bottom......the next 20 seconds felt like hours!!! I had to back off the drag a tad because the head shakes were so violent! But I took my time and Bird netted him perfectly! Another moose hit the deck...this time a 28 1/2"er that was 9.1lbs and all of this on the same drift!
Overwhelmed with happiness I literally broke down into tears and cried like a baby as I was
moving back for another drift...."hence, no one wants it more than me"!!!

So we debated on whether or not we should stay or get back for weigh in...We opted to get
going by 2pm and we were 3rd in line to weigh in. We thought about going for both single and 5 heaviest...with one more 6lb fish it would have been possible, but we made the call and it was the right one to put them in the 5 combined heaviest.

Our total weight for 5 fish was 33.30 lbs

I want to thank Tom from Bluefrog bucktails for getting me a speedy order...his bucktails did the trick! They were all over them!!!:thumbsup


Also wanted to say congrats to the crew from the Tuna Chick....you don't ever give up till the
end....they didn't and they pulled it off in the last hour of the tournament! Great job Capt Scott and crew! And also to the Admbomb crew for their second place winnings! Great job!


P.s.

A lot of people came up to me yesterday after the tournament and were telling me how great I am and all that. Well thank you, but ....I just really love fishing! Especially for fluke!!! I
know it's my job, but if I could never sleep and just fish non stop I literally would! My poor wife

Thanks everyone!

7/13

Again a limit was had! Some really great fishing is going on right now!  6.5lbs was the biggest of the trip!

7/9

We absolutely mohawked the tuna today!  We jigged and chunked all of the fish!   Ended the day with 20 bluefin to 90lbs, 7 yellowfin to 65lbs and 4 mahi to 30lbs!

7/8

Very good fishing even though we only had 16 keeper fluke!  Alot of throwbacks and some nice seabass too!

7/3

Another decent day.  !8 keeper fluke we put into the ice chamber of death on the STALKER II!!

7/2

Jim Mcnulty and Matt McCartys group nailed a limit on the Stalker II.  About a 6lb fluke was the big fish! It's just beeen fantastic!

7/1

A bit slower today!  Only pu 18 keeper fluke in the box, but the big fish was a 7lber!  There are some really nice fish out there!

6/20

WHAT A DAY!!!  Got back on the deepwater fluke grounds after that wind for the first time, not knowing if the fishing would be any good at all???!!!  Well, there was nothing to worry about!  We put a 5 man limit of fluke in the boat to 9lb 28"!  We also put 20 keeper seabass in the boat as well! 

6/18

The weather has been terrible!  This may be the worst stretch of weather in the 11 yrs that I've been a Captain!  Looks like I will be getting out again Wednesday.  On a side note I would like the say how sorry I'm am for my wife and her family for the lose of their Grandmother / Mother!  R.I.P.  Gigi 6/16/12

6/11

With impending weather on its way we snuck in a short trip this morning!  Fog was bad and the fish weren't to hungry.. We did pick at them for about an hour, putting 7 in the box and a bunch of shorts.  Should be good after this NE Blow!

6/10

The Roy Kimble group fished today and we had fish right from the get go!  We ended up boxing 19 keeper fluke to 7.5lbs which is the current "Remembering Adam" tourney leader!  We also had a few seabass in the mix as well as a bunch of throwback fluke to keep us in the action!

6/8

Flounder Season starts!  Not a slammer trip, but we did put a decent catch together of fluke and seabass.  Action was had throughout the trip nd with the water temps as warm as they are it should be on fire shortly!

6/2

FYI. I have to raise the prices on the Summer Fluke trips to $135pp or $810 for a private trip.  I did have that up near the rates that it might happen.  Instead of charging for bucktails, it will be just a combined surcharge for bucktails and fuel! So if you have already booked a trip before today your $5 or $30 has been added on to your trip!!!

5/17

Fished last night and we boated 2 drum to 50lbs.  We did have 4 other solid hookups that just came off.  You could hear them drumming for 4 hours straight.

5/14 AM

2 stripers was all...The fat lady is singing I think with the stripers.  Water temps are in he mid 60's.

5/12 AM
