MISS BELMAR PRINCESS has been keeping local anglers busy on slammer blues at night. Fishing has been very productive on the Sea Girt reef with as many bluefish you can handle most anglers hitting there limit if not all. Pool fish have been between 10 and 13 lbs. Miss Belmar Princess Sails every night at 7:30 returning around 2am. Pick a day before the cold weather sets in and get out there.
Jimmy and son Ryan Granito from Old Bridge had a great day father and son bonding on the Keyport pier. Ryan was set up for some bluefish action with peanut bunker and wound up playing catch and release with 3 big flatties. Just when the season ends the fluke know to head in close for some free meals. Get the poles and kids and check out the new fishing pier. Crabbys Bait & Tackle is right on the corner, stop in and they will set you up for some good family fishing on the pier. Fish or no fish it’s the effort that the kids love.
NJSaltwaterfisherman.com reported Captain Allen Gonzalez on Reel Class Fishing Charters from Pt. Pleasant Had Bill Tevlin, his girlfriend Steph, Bluefish Steve and Steve's buddy Ron aboard for a jig-troll-sea bass trip. Set up on the troll with Clark spoons looking for albies (albacore) and bonito between Bay Head and Mantoloking with no luck water conditions were not on there side with a NE swell. They managed to locate birds working about 2 miles off when the ocean erupted with alligator sized bluefish chasing rain fish, peanuts, and snapper blues clear out of the water among a fleet of around 40 boats.
With light spinning gear and tackle, jigs and top water plugs, every one of them was 12-15lbs. From the chaos of jigging monster blues they shot out to the reef for some sea bass. Wind was making that difficult with only a few shorts so they finished up the ocean portion of the trip jigging a few more big blues in on the beach.
By 1 they headed in the river, put on some small storm shads, and threw them at the bridges and were rewarded with a few stripers, tops being about 24" taken by Steph.
If you ever chartered a trip before this is what to look for.Great Captains mix it up and are not afraid to try everything they can to catch fish any fish. That’s what a good charter is all about. To charter Captain Allen give him a call at 201-248-5281 or look him up at
