Great Bay To Little Egg Reef Fishing Reports

Cool Ron..  Congratz

Nice Catch!  I'm heading out to try for kingfish and then take some spots to the inlet also.  I'll let you know how it goes.  I was out earlier this week just poking around and came across some bunker schools with full size adult fish in them.  Anyone tried the snag and drag or fishing them dead in the bay?

Nice catch Ron.

Headed out to catch the last of the incoming tide, anchored up on the sod banks, near the old CG station, for some togging. No bite for the first hour, the tide was still ripping through the area. Tide slowed down and the bite was on. Caught over 20 tog from 13.5 to 17 inches. We kept our 2 quota and pulled anchor. Did a few drifts live lining spot but no bites. Bait fish were jumping all over at sunset but no bass for us,  Back at the barn at 7 for a few cold Boddington and cigar.

Nice catch!  Blackfishing is HOT this fall.

Against my better judgement headed out on a weekend, as I expected the sod banks were packed with boats. Since I never learned how to parallel park my boat I tried some for some King fish. Got an assortment of Kings, blowfish and spot for some striper fishing later this week.

Watched another sunset from the dock with a Boddington in one hand and a cigar in the other. Nice way to finish the day,

Nice catch!  I had to parallel park on the beach today too at the surf !

Hey guys, sorry for the late report.  Hit the red ball last Thursday (9 Oct) with the wife for some kingfish at around 1 pm with the incoming tide.  Picked at them for about two hours and then got a bunch at the tide change.  Trish kicked my butt today and ended up with 10 kingfish to my 2.  She'll be impossible to deal with for a while....  All but two were nice ones (we use a self imposed 13 inch limit on the boat for keepers) over 14 inches and the ones we didn't eat that night went into the freezer.  Also got a bunch of spot that we live lined but they got eaten up by the small blues.  I'm out of town till later this month so good luck and keep the reports coming, I'm living vicariously through you guys for the time being.

Great report and nice catch!!

Left the dock at 5pm, drifted live spot in front of the old CG Station...caught and released a 30 inch Striper and was back at the dock by 7.  Had my Boddington and cigar and headed home....great autumn sunsets to watch on the water.

[Pfishingruven]

Nice catch!  Sunsets are really cool the last few weeks or so...

Nice C&R...I love the sunsets and photograph quite a few.   

[Capt Ron B]

It took me longer to anchor up then it did to limit out on tog today   12 tog in less than a hour. Kept a fat 15 incher. Hauled in the anchor and let my self drift along the sod banks live lining some spot. No hits but plenty of bait fish at sunset.

 

[Pfishingruven]

Nice catch!  Togging has been excellent.  Is it always this good??  I can't remember ?

Got skunked Friday for the first time in a long time. Tried to get outside but I thought better of it when I saw the inlet. Tried for Tog, no bites, live lined for stripers, nada.

Heading down now to seek my revenge 

[IrishAyes]

Good try and smart move to not challenge the inlet. It can get very nasty at times, plus, who needs to get beat up.

[Pfishingruven]

Good try Capt Ron!  Fishing shut down for everyone, seems everywhere for a couple of days and is now starting to pick up again!

Good luck when you get out there!!

 

[Capt Ron B]

Headed up the Mullica River and hit my fav white perch spot. We really got beat up in the wind to land 23 fish.

Debating if I am going to give the Stripers a try on Sunday

[Pfishingruven]

Nice catch!!  The wind is brutal.
