It can only get better this year!

just loaded up on all the stuff i needed to make all the rigs, i should be well prepaired this year. i am so looking forward to this first night,i just hope the sharks show,it may still be a tad early. i know sharks in the 75 to 85lb range have been being picked up in raritan and great bay so they are around. cant wait to try my new gear. woo hoo. hope to see everyone there.
-
Good going Ken...Looking forward to it. Just a word of advice as this year the Park Police are really cracking down on the rules so it might be a good idea to mention that.
Happy Catching

im on vacation that week, so it works for me.
-
I'm marking y calender now. Hopefully nobody plans anything else.
TT^
-
i may have 5 or more with me..
-
Reports of sharks are starting to come in pretty strong. Hopefully we will have a good night. I am still trying to wrap up moving my girlfriend in and looking forward to making up the baits.I may try and sneak some time in this weekend and see if these shark reports are on the money.
-
my cousin caught one this morning on LBI surf, not sure what kind, but it was around 27 lbs..
-
The LBI area always see's sharks first for some reason,but that is great news. Thanks for that post. I hope I get the chance to give it a shot myself this weekend.
-
i have a few guys from work who are interested in joining us that night. Either fish, or just to watch, they are dying to see the surf rocket in action. What time do you plan on being there and what area?
-
We will probally be in the area of a10 or a7 because its easy for people to walk on. We will start setting up around 7 pm and be out there all night. As it gets closer I will post more of the details
-
sounds great Kenny.. I will be there earlier with the guys to relax and maybe throw some plugs out there.. I will be in front of A10 and have my White Excursion with me.. See ya then.. OH.. let me know if you need me to net any bunker for you out of AH marina.
-
I took a group out tonight and we knocked them dead. We had brown and dusky sharks to about 90lbs. We had three run offs, where my reels were just screaming. We would have put more time in but it started raining pretty good. So fellas they are here, and in full force. We should have a blast friday night. My girl faught a dusky for about half an hour,I am so proud of her. That fish faught its heart out for her. I did have a video camera with us but the light on it wasn't that great and handling the fish and coaching the people threw the fight I had to rely on someone else to use it and it pretty much stinks. Wooo hoo we really had a blast. Hooking into these fish is like hooking in to a truck at times. Great times,see you guys on friday.
-
can't wait..
-
Its a blast. still pumped up from last night. I am going back out tonight with Nick Honachefsky from the fisherman magazeen and Mickey from the band Ween,we always have a blast. You can check out some great videos with mickey fishing every where @ brownietroopfs.com. I know you will all enjoy them. Surfs up baby... Sharkin!
-
Good Times.. can't wait. I'm driving on this year t^
-
i will be there early, look for a white ford Excursion..
-
I am planning on being there with the family. I want to see this first hand and the boys want to see some sharks!
TT^
-
Sweet gruve! Can't wait to meet you all there. The boys should see some sharks for sure.
-
What types of sharks due you guys catch?
NJDEVIL >:D
-
Mostly brown and duskys,but we have caught a bullshark blacktips and small threshers. Its a good time all catch and release
-
It's a fun time.. watching Kenny run around like a crazy main launching everyone bait ;D
Fire Pit.. hot dogs and good times t^
-
The weather report isn't looking good for friday.... What's everyone think
-
They keep changing their minds...one minute it was 100% rain and thunderstorms. Right now it says partly cloudy 5hrug ???!
TT^
-
I know a lot of people are going to be walking on,it would really stink if they got caught in the rain. we will call it by noon on friday and post it right here this weather stinks
-
Keeping fingers crossed t^
I've heard some good things about the shark action from the sand lately.
Speaking of walk-ons...if anyone walking on needs gear carted in or a ride on, let me know and I'll run the truck out to the parking lot once I'm set up.
-
Yeah now they are saying nice weather. We will play it by year
-
Did you decide on a spot yet? A10 or A7?
Thanks!
TT^
-
A10 always t^
-
5hrug What is and where, what do you need to bring
-
A10 always t^
Thanks!
TT^

Ok folks here is the deal. We will be meeting in the area of A10 on the island. The weather stations are all over with weather reports but I think we will be ok. I will post any cancelations on this thread at noon, but we should be good.
As for the park I am told that there is a new administrator,and they are being sticklers about rules. I have been spending a lot of time out there and haven't had any problems. Please don't attempt to drive on with out a pass. Parking is very close to where we are going to be.
You need to get there as early as possible if you are not bringing fishing poles as they stop people from comming in who are not fishing at dusk. Saying that you are here for the surf rocket event may not help you to get in,but I will talk to them at the shack on my way in.
I may be out there a little late around 730 or 8 I am hoping not 8,I have to see what time I get out of work get loaded and on the road. Last year I was able to bring lots of food and sodas as well as the baits,this year its gonna be pretty much the baits. Its been a rough year,I'm sure though we will have a great time still.
Anyone who is driving on that can bring fire wood would be excellent. I will be bringing as much as I can,but I am working out of a jeep this year and am lilited to space. We have been catching sharks all week on beaches close to the island so I know they are there too. So the chances that we hook up are very good. The fish have been from 50lbs to 135lbs so be prepaired for the beach fight of your life. Also if you would like to bring some fresh bunker for your selves we have been catching them close as well as way out there.
I will bring rigs made up so don't worry about not having the right setups. And as always I have about 50 or 60 surf rocket baits made up. I will be bringing my daughter and 2 new daughters with me this year and I am excited about that. I'm sure they will keep Rods slipper dog company.
If I missed anything I will be back on later I have 40lbs of bunker in my kitchen sink that I need to rig up. Be back in a bit.
-
Sounds great Ken t^
I'll be out there between 6 and 7 to get a little fishing in beforehand. I'll setup at A10 and will have the NJSWF flag flying.
If I have some room, I'll throw firewood in the truck.
Like I said earlier, anyone not driving on that needs gear carted in, etc. give me a call and I'll run out to the A10 lot with the truck.
908-565-4735
-
7 Pm For me. driving on t^
-
Ok I am on the money. Just finished making up the last of the baits I could. We have about 50 some rocket baits,and like I said I will bring some rigs may need to use your own sinker if your casting though. I have 50 some odd sinkers frozen and not sure what I have left. We are going to have a great night.
-
Looks like I will be taking my Silver Ford Pick up truck instead of the white Excursion.. look for both, i am not sure yet.
-
Nick bring your A game man I want to see you hook up this year
-
I may be out for tomorrow. I have to play it by ear. Just got over the youngest having a virus for the last week or so...thought it was done, but my oldest just woke up with 102 fever tonight so...
Don't want to get anyone sick, especially any other kids.
:-\

-
That sux gruve,I hope the lil man feels better. Keep us posted. Hey bucktail are you making this one?
-
It does suck...more for the little guy, but for having to miss this one again. Can't catch a break to get out fishing...
Thanks for the well wishes. I will play it by ear. Hoping he feels better in the morning 5hrug?

Hi All,
I am hoping to be out there before 6 the wifie said she is trying to be out by 4:30 so it looks good. If anyone needs help with anything as well just give a call, 732-684-0385 if I am in a position to help I will.
I will be stopping by Grumpys during the day to pick up some bunker and that other staple clams.
I know we are not really into strict tides on this one but the tide will be going out. the tides are:
Friday H 1:58 PM Sunset - 7:54
L 9:03 PM
Sat. H 2:37 AM Sunrise - 6:08
L 8:51 AM
So as you can see we will have an incoming tide after 9PM.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again. I also will have our flag flying high so there should be no reason for not missing ground zero.
Happy Catching
Paul

Hey everybody! Ill be out there hopefully around 6ish. Bringing the wife and 2 friends so we will see how much they slow me down. haha.
If all goes well we will have 2 vehicles driving on. I know one will be the black ford escape. I took tomorrow off so I will have plenty of time to get everything together and run around and get some firewood. May also bring a 6ft sub. Brought one last year but ended up tossing half of it so not sure yet. Anyone need anything else? drinks? Chips? let me know.

:-\ >:( nosmly
Enjoy and hope you all catch 'em up tonight!
TT^

nosmly :P
-
good luck guys t^ and don't forget the pix TT^
-
Waiting for some live updates... ;)
-
There should be plenty of pics judging by the number of times Rod blinded me with the camera flash cfzd
I'll let Ken or Rod post the full report, but when I left about 1230, Ken was the only one left and no action up to that point.
-
;D t^ Good Times. Fishing was jut an added bonus. Man they gave me a hard time at the gate. I'll post it tomorrow..
-
It was a good time! I left around 1:00 I think. Didn't catch anything but that doesn't matter. Going back tonight after work for a little while, if anyone else is going let me know! Probably be there around 10-1030.
-
Just spoke to Kenny. They caught a 125lb brown around 2:am. Pics coming
-
It was nice to see everyone again. Sorry I didn't pay attention to the tide when we set the date. We toughed it out and stayed after everyone was gone waiting for the tide to come in. At dead on 2 am my brother hooked into a monster shark. Not haveing a scale to weigh its hard to tell but this fish was over 120lbs. We could barley pic it up. He faught it for 45 mins and we got some great pics. As soon as I receive them in a email we will get them up. Biggest fish I have ever seen caught on the beach it was almost unrealistic for a jersey beach. It was as long as I am tall just about and heavy heavy. We stayed for about an hour after he was landed but everyone was beat. Next week with the tides right and the new moon shark action will be on the money. I will post more when I get the pics. It was great to see everyone again.
-
Nice catch! Glad you all had a good time.
TT^
-
can't wait for the pix t^
-
Very nice, wish i would have went but bein new to the site i didnt want to just pop up. maybe next year. cant wait to see the pics
-
Glad you got something Ken t^
While the catching was slow last night, it was a great night on the sand with great company. The wife and I had a very nice night. And it was good to see everyone again.
A big thank you to Ken for organizing the night and providing shark gear. Thanks bud. chrz That brief moment that I was hooked into whatever it was, was a great feeling.
-
Ken what day next week?
-
Ken that is great... t^ t^ t^. I knew if everyone left the magic would happen, good going.
Ranger79, we would of welcomed you in regardless, you can pop in at any of our outings. Newbie or not, just be ready for a lot of laughs and a great time. But look out you might even learn something, I know I do at every outing.
Happy Catching
Paul
-
Can't wait to see the pics!!!! Hopefully I'll make it out to see some of the action next time!
-
The only Problem we had.. is we were too spread out.. Let's keep it tighter next time.. part my fault also.
-
tight is good for chatting, but tight will bring in tangles while fishing..
-
Yea.. but we were way spread out for that.
-
Since you were a Park Police magnet Rod....it's better that you hung out with strangers instead of us ;)

DETAILS, DETAILS!!! WE WANNA KNOW WHAT ROD DID...
-
Probably peeing in the dunes! ;D
-
Yea.. they gave me a hard time from the time I hit the gate.. then they happen to stop at my "party" and give us a hard time that we only had 3 poles in the water..
When I got to the gate I had everything I needed.
But my piece of plywood was 1/2" not 3/4.. they made me run to betty and Nicks and buy a 4$ piece of 3/4" plywood rgmn
-
You should know this! rgmn You need to be setting an example for everybody mr ADMIN! rofla
Ranger lady came over to us and got out and just sort of shined her light on our bucket and said "ok just checking that ur all fishing". Meanwhile our rods were all down by the water and we were all just sitting by the fire making SMORES! Dont know how she could tell we were fishing when she couldn't see the poles.
-
Oh, and when are these pics gonna be on here?!
-
You should know this! rgmn You need to be setting an example for everybody mr ADMIN! rofla
Yea that's what My Father Said t^
yea.. waiting on the shark Pictures.. I'll see what I got from my camera.

Fishing at IBSP is a real pain in the @$$ anymore! We went out there for a after dinner beach trip with the kids. We weren't swimming, just walking above the high tide line. Kids were playing in the sand and I had my bag and pole. We also have a yearly gate pass...it was 6:45 PM and they gave me a hard time about only having 1 pole and 5 people. It was still 2 hours until dark. I said forget this and went back over to South Seaside Park at 23rd Ave!
I don't even know if I will buy a gate pass next year 5hrug? Had some time to fish this afternoon and guess what, IBSP>>FULL>>CLOSED rgmn rgmn rgmn. I can't win. Great place, just too many rules anymore. We used to put our pass on the rearview mirror and they would wave us in grtn.

I was able to get through on Sunday even with the FULL CLOSED sign up and Park Rangers waving people off.
-
I know with the BB pass I get waved through all the time, with no problems.
-
Where's the pictures?!?!?
-
If I remember right, the reason they close the park is because all of the legal parking spots are taken. With the beach buggy pass you don't need a parking spot so they let you in. t^

You are correct Capt Joe. I called the Park the other day and found that out. What I don't understand is, how do the people parked at A23 get all the way back to the bathing beaches?? Walking? They really shouldn't be swimming on unguarded beaches in there. If they closed the park to bathers when the bathing beaches lots were full, they could still allow fisherman in to park. It would be nice, but things have been pretty much they same there for 30+ years so I don't expect them to change it now.
I will stick to night fishing when no one is around ;D.
TT^
-
If I remember correctly, there is also a limit to the number of buggys in the park at one time. Not sure they really count it though.

Yup. 500 max. Last Sunday it sure looked like there were more than 500 out there!

First I heard of that Lt, but I haven't been a beach rat for about twenty+ years now. ;D
Thanks for the info
-
That's all correct plus if the park is closed to both BB and the bathers if you have a kayak you can still launch off A21 with a BB pass. Don't ask me why...But I am glad I have choices. In all my time going out there I have not been denied access yet. TT^
-
They were counting BBs on friday. Got a peek at their sheet they use!

Any pictures?
NJDEVIL >:D

Just got the pictures from Kenny

cfzd Holy crap! thud

its about time t^ sweer fish TT^

Damn I knew I should have hung around a little longer that night.
Good job Ken TT^

I'm going out tonight and casting past that bar and pulling one of them sum'bitches in! ::)

That's a nice shark!

I have been spending a lot of time out there this year,and I haven't had any problems. I went out one night with a friend who is in a well known rock band and all his friends they left I guess around 1 am. I must have passed out in my chair around 3 or 4 am and woke up sitting there at 930 to find beer bottles and liquer bottles scattered every where. I'm sure rangers passed us while we were sleeping and no-one said anything. I quickly scrambled to clean up the mess and stayed till about noon just enjoying the beach. I hear stories of people getting a hard time and it baffles me. I don't drink so nights like that don't happen often,but I do spend a lot of time out there.
My biggest issue out there are the vulture fisherman who drive up and down the beach following the blitz. They show no regard to anyone else on the beach. I even had one of these dipshits cut my line during a blitz. We were parked for hours set up and fishing and a blitz started right in front of us and out of no where a group of jeeps like mine pulled right up on us and crashed right threw us to the surf.I understand the craze of seeing bass blitz the beach but have some damn respect.
For the most part like I said I have had no problems out there that I didn't bring on myself. Sure there are rules but I don't think they are hard to follow. I do feel at times that people who aren't fishing shouldn't be in the bb areas. If your there fishing and have your family that's one thing but you see huge groups of swimmers in the fishing area all the time.
The pass is a lot of money and for that alone we should have our own area. Try fishing the surf on a summer day on any other beach its not happening. Too many people not that you can't. Accept for the fishing beach in belmar and even that gets swimmers. Island beach is a convenience beach for fisherman that's all. Sure you can catch fish there but there is definitely better fishing beaches in NJ. As for the pics I sent rod,that was a big catch from the beach.I am on using my blackberry so I can't see the pics he put up and don't remember what I sent him but that fish was over 100lbs no doubt. For new jersey that is a killer catch
