Title: Pell's Fishing Reports - September 3, 2007
Post by: Capt. Ed on September 03, 2007, 02:28:11 PM

Hi All,

The past week of Fluking has been shaky to say the least. However, some anglers are beginning to pick up Fluke in shallower water (40-50 ft.) again off Spring Lake. Sea Bass are showing up on the Sea Girt and Axel Carleson Reefs.

Anglers are starting to tangle with False Albacore and Spanish Mackeral both by beach and boat. Japanese feathers and small Clark spoons will raise these warm water fish. Surf anglers have the best chance to catch them with small diamond jigs or Hopkins with a fast retrieve.

Big 8-12 lb. alligator Blues have once again invaded the suds. They can be taken with metals or mullet rigs with frozen/fresh mullet. BTW, there are good numbers of mullet being netted in the back bays and rivers in the area.

Tuna fisherman have been smiling about the amount of yellowfin/longfin/bluefin that have been in the Hudson and Toms Canyons.

The back bays continue to produce snappers on lures and bait (spearing); weakfish on lures (pink Fin-S) and on bait (sandworms); and assorted other species on sandworms.

Until next week, good catching!

Tommy

Hi Salty,

Just north of the Mantoloking Bridge; near Gunner's ditch; and in the Metedeconk River.

I have also some decent reports in the Manasquan River.

Good luck,

Capt. Ed

Gotta love those Albies!! ;D  Wish I had a few more days of vacation to hit the beach.

Going back to work tomorrow.  Oh well, back to the grind.

Hi Salty,

Hopefully soon ...

Either everything is running a bit late this year or ... well I don't want to think about that.

Thanks,

Ed
