 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..........

NJ Bass fishing remains a hit or miss for some. Big schools of bass are all
along the shore and feeding heavily on rain fish and other small baits. With
that much live bait in the water it makes it a challenge for a big old bass to
take your bait. It?s all about being patient and improvising until something
works.
Sandy Hook, Captain Ron?s Fishermen
has been working hard chasing birds and finding bass up in the 20 to 30lb
range. Dr. Sal made it two days in a row with the pool fish aboard the Fishermen
with fish up to 26 lbs. Captain Ron is sailing daily for big bass. It should
only get more intense as bigger fish move in to feast along our
shoreline.
Brielle, Captain Jerry aboard the Fish Monger can?t sit still. If the bass bite is slow
the crew immediately targets a different species. I bet Captain Jerry hates
sitting in traffic.
With mostly blues on the jig the Fish Monger has been
switching over to bottom fish and finding plenty of double header porgy action. Captain Jerry was able to put triple digit porgies in the box this week
and keeping the action consistent for his patrons. Another great week aboard
the Fish Monger with a nice variety of porgies, fluke, sea bass, bonito,
bluefish and of course striped bass.

Jim and James Monaghan from Spring Hill TN sporting their 30 lbs Striper, Caught on a NJ Charter.

Highlands, Captain Diane aboard Lady Di II Fishing charters had buddies Capt. Erwin
and Paul out for a trophy bass hunt. Captain Diane immediately found the birds
with bass breaking the surface. After a few shorts they managed to max out and
troll up six nice keepers and back at the dock by lunch time.
It?s an
amazing time of the year. Acers of bait fish along our shore and big bass and
blues patrolling them make conditions perfect for all anglers to experience top
water action. Taking a day off work is definitely worth a shot at these amazing
fish.
Remember an angler means being courteous to other anglers from a boat or
the surf. Give everyone elbow room, cutting across a school of fish or a fishing
fleet only decreases the odds of catching fish and defeats the purpose for
everyone, it?s a big ocean give everyone room to fish......

   Their back and they are big. Yellow fin tuna have invaded the Hudson Canyon and
as you read this article tonight anglers are in the canyon looking for a fight
with these all muscle and built for speed monsters. Charters from Sandy Hook to
Barnegat Bay found yellow fins in the canyon from 70 to 90lbs. Mahi mahi are
right in the mix and as many as you want. The Big Jamaica from Brielle is
nailing fish up to 90lbs. Doris Mae from Barnegat Light maxed out on yellow fin
up to 80lbs and put a countless number of Mahi in the box. The Doris Mae is
doing very well with yellow fin and boxing mahi up in the triple digits. These
reports have phones ringing off the hook for reservations and charters are
booking up fast. The Big Jamaica has added extra dates and I?m sure many others
are doing the same. Charter scheduled dates for the 2010 tuna season were cut
short by most charters not willing to take
the 100 plus mile one way trip due to the lack of yellow fins in the previous
years. With plenty of seventy degree water in the canyon, tuna like the yellow
fin, big eye and long fin will hang around for a while.
Curious, I tried
calling three different party boats for a mid week spot and they have all been
booked solid. Even "Fish on with Ron" is on a waiting list. This is a year where
many anglers took a wait and see approach so I have to be patient. This is the
time when the internet comes in handy. A charter on a "party boat" will only
take 20 to 25 anglers max and run around $325 per angler so when reports heat up
they book fast. Canyon trips are normally 24 to 30 hours long so make sure you
are physically and mentally prepared. you better stretch those arms legs and
back and be ready to go a few rounds. Ninety pounders are no joke and will send
you to a chiropractor at the very least.
Immediate
Release
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., -- As the pending Gulf Restoration Plan is
being produced The Billfish Foundation is encouraging recreational anglers and
boaters, especially those in the Gulf states most affected by the April 20th oil
disaster, to urge the government to include the sport fishing segment in the
plan.
?Boating and the sport fishing industry employ some 300,000
individuals in the region generating an economic stimulus of $41 billion dollars
annually,? said TBF President Ellen Peel. ?It includes a wide array of marine
related manufacturing, sales, service and diverse support and enhancement
businesses ranging from artists to yacht builders and brokers.
?If we are
ever going to see positive changes in the Gulf, we must impress upon the
Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, who is charged with writing the Gulf
Restoration Plan, the need to include recreational fishing and boating as a
major segment in it. E-mails are urgently needed to be sent to the Secretary at:
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
,? she
emphasized.
A draft letter is included on the TBF website billfish.org
for anglers to use or compose their own version. She said the critical point is
to send it in now and encouraged anglers to pass it on to their friends so sport
fishing and boating will be counted in the Gulf Restoration Plan.
Fish
On!
