 Massive sea swells continued to roll through the shore as high as twelve
feet at Romer Shoals. Big ocean swells stirred up plenty of bait fish and
produced birds working on the surface making fall bass conditions picture
perfect. Bass fishing remained steady from Romer Shoals to Shark River Inlet if
you had a strong stomach and waited for the tide changes. With good marks
showing signs of fish, anglers roughed it out and picked away at keepers most of
the week.
With all the bait in the water anglers are trying everything
from trolling, cut baits, clams, eels and jigs, whatever it takes for one last
shot at a fall trophy before wrapping it up for 2010. Boats can be seen all along
the shore line as boaters give it one more run and a few more casts. Bass
should continue to hang around with the bait and as long as the weather holds
up, we should see fish well into December. There is plenty of spearing and rain
fish the bass are feeding on, this should support some really big fish to be
caught.

 Art s Nice Catch aboard The Fisherman |
Captain Ron's Fishermen has been waiting out the tide swings and
patiently picking away at bass. Patrons have been coming home with some nice
keepers and fighting shorts in between. Captain Ron is sailing daily open boats
for one last shot at a monster fall bass. Pick a day and give it one last
cast.
Captain Carmine aboard the Island Girl III has been working a few
spots along the Ambrose channel and Romer shoals with cut bunker. Ron Sr.,
Richie and Captain Carmine have been picking bass up to thirty pounds. Anchored
patiently and fighting through endless big dog fish and chopper blues to get to
a few big fall bass has paid off for the crew. Captain Carmine said he will keep
the boat in the water as long as the bass stick around and he can put a crew
together.
Captain Mike aboard the Sea Hawk from Perth Amboy made a few
inshore drops and found blackfish up to 8lbs. Captain Mike will sail daily for
Black fish 7:30 am. The crew is on a mission to find big fish both on the
in-shore and off shore wrecks. If you?re looking for a good wreck trip for big
black fish then give Captain Mike a call and pick a date.
Hopefully the
big ocean swells will lie down this week and anglers will get another shot to
get back on the fish before pulling the boats for the winter..........

Did You
Know?
The present 54-foot Romer Shoal Lighthouse was established on the
shoal in 1898. It is believed that the tower was used on the grounds of the
Staten Island Lighthouse Depot as an experimental lighthouse for testing fuels,
wicks, bulbs, and other lighthouse equipment before it was disassembled and
relocated just a few miles offshore.
The Romer Shoal Lighthouse was
automated in 1966, but it continued to help mark the entrance to the New York
harbor with a pair of white flashes every fifteen seconds. After a storm in
December of 1992 damaged the lighthouse, the Coast Guard considered scrapping
the lighthouse and replacing it with a steel skeleton tower. Joe Esposito, who
served as caretaker of the Staten Island Lighthouse at the time, refused to let
the tower be destroyed, and through his efforts it remains in place today.
Fish On!
