NJ Fishing Report -2020

Nice report, looks sporty in the first picture, slicking off in the last one. I like those sea bass, we only get those in the winter and not very big , a 10 - 12 inch one is a good size one down here.

Our weather forecast have been extremely inaccurate this summer. Best TV weather guy we ever had was an ex charter boat captain, he often wasn t in step with the NOAA, but was usually right.

What a way to get beat up!!! Those Sea bass are great eating and RARE Tuna steaks on the BARBIE.

Ok, so you happened to land two of my favorite fish to catch and eat. Wish I was there!

Look at the tilt of the head boat behind me. He was rolling in a trough.
It wasn't slicking off, just the angle going away...Photos never capture the sea state well. It was an honest wind blown 3 to 5 swell. About as rough as you would want to fish in a 26 footer (especially at 70 miles). A V20 would be dangerous in it.

I think we got the long runs out of our blood unless we get a 3 day 2ft or less forecast. We really want a swordfish on deck.

Seabass at the 20 mile reef site should be good and Striper fishing along the beach is about to get going strong. Bluefin tuna will be inside of 10 miles but really hard to catch. Its the fall finale and its all in range of V20s...get out there!

BIG Thanks to Capt Bob Bogan of the Gambler for this shot of us boating a yellowfin!

Fall Bass run is ON!!
We got out for the evening bite on reports from our dock buddies of stripers to 50 pounds.
Bite was off Long Branch, busting under birds. All action was on small jigs on the surface. Dropping caught dogfish.

I was using a Deadly Dick.
