The action this week has been red hot. The Garden State is producing some of the best winter fishing in years. With water temperatures staying steady offshore Party Boats are filling coolers with a mixed bounty of fish. The Jamaica II from Brielle did just that. Captain Steve and Captain Ryan fished another solid week on its 12 hour offshore wreck trips. Anglers did very well, porgies, Pollock, cod, ling, sea bass and hake in numbers. Captain Steve also found a good number of keeper cod on the last 2 trips.
 This weeks highlights were Terry Long from Mohrsville, PA with a 23LB Pollock, Darryl Smith from Norristown, PA with 40 jumbo porgies sea bass and a monkfish Mark Myricks Jersey City with a limit of sea bass, 30 porgies and 12 ling, Gregory Humbert, Staten Island with a 12LB white Hake, Alex Pisani from Toms River, NJ with a 9LB Pollock along with a combo of 33 porgies, sea bass and ling. Eric Crane, Brooklyn with a pool winning 16 lb Cod. Frank and George Elsishans totaled for 41 Ling and 5 Cod. George also caught a 9 1/2 lb Blackfish. Gene Zubricki Old Bridge caught 23 Ling and 3 Cod
Bill Conarty Philadelphia, 19 Ling 3 Cod and 2 Pollock.
 The Jamaica continues to be a sure bet this time of year and she will continue to sail offshore through April.

The Gambler from Pt. Pleasant has also joined in the action with anglers putting big numbers of ling, sea bass porgies and cod in their coolers. Ling have been bigger than usual in recent years and the Gambler is proving just that with everyone taking home dinner.
 
Capt Jimmy Elliot on the Miss Belmar Princess found some solid schools of mackerel and picked away. Anglers filled coolers with jumbo mackerel 2, 3, 4, and 5 at a time. Captain Jimmy expects these fish to hang around a for a while. With a mild week ahead you can bet Captain Jimmy will be on them. If you never went fishing for mackerel don’t miss out, now is the time. Miss Belmar Princess needs no introduction, she sails 7:30 am daily.

Did you Know?
A record Striped Bass has been caught. Fred Barnes from Chesapeake caught a 73lb. bass off Cape Henry on Wednesday. Fred joins the elite list along side Albert McReynolds who landed a 78 pound monster off a jetty in Atlantic City back in 1982. Congratulations to Fred Barnes, a fish like that can be worth north of a million dollars in endorsements. To see a video of the latest giant log onto www.NJSaltwaterfisherman.com.
