Barnegat Fishing Charters 8/30
Another week of not so great weather conditions on the Barnegat Bay and inlet. We here at the Bottom Line keep mixing it up trying to get everyone some time on the water. We had three cancellations in the past week, but finally got out yesterday with a great famliy from Westwood NJ, (The Harlands). Most people think you need to go right out to the ocean to catch fish. Boy are they wrong, the Barnegat Bay has such a great variety of species, that you just don`t know what your going to catch. For the light tackle enthusiasts you can have so much fun.
We started off working some deep holes in the Barnegat Bay channels with some frozen chum blocks. Within 20 minutes we had our first fish..and fish and fish...and so on. We had some nice blow fish, a ton of throw back fluke, black fish up to about 3.5 pounds and even two bass. Then we decided to move over to the inlet, there we started picking up some nice weakfish. I explained to the Harlands that the weakfish have not been doing to well this year and they decided to catch and release. ( which was great). Then we got into some small blues which anyone that fishes knows these fish are great to catch on light tackle. We even fooled around with two brown sharks but no takers..I was telling the Harlands that they caught a Grand Slam! Weakfish, Stripers, Fluke, and some Blues. It was a great day by all..And we here at the Bottom Line Fishing Charters were happy to be back on the water...
