Captains have been wearing a path in the water to the Gooses where they have been consistently chumming up a limit of stripers. They haven’t been looking around since the Gooses has been so reliable. Flounder Fishing has been as exciting as ever with several nice size keepers coming over the rail almost every day, according to Shirley aboard the Reliable out of Bower’s Beach Delaware. In Ocean City, Chris Toner set a new cobia state record with a 72 pound cobia. Cobia is one of my favorite fish to catch as they are so hard fighting and such a true predator. The catch eclipsed the previous record of 67 pounds, 12 ounces set in 2007. Captain Jeremy aboard the Stalker contacted us and said that flounder fishing continues to be great out front in the deepwater. They had to fish the bay 2 days because of the weather, but still had their share of fun and keepers. Captain Jeremy aboard the Stalker contacted us and told us that the first tuna of the year were caught offshore. If it’s any indication, the fish was probably taken at the Hot Dog or the sausages. Get ready — the tuna season is upon us. The backwater behind Ocean City and throughout the InterCoastal is quite productive with stripers on the flat — give it a try. Walleye fishing in Saginaw Bay continues to be good, but has slowed considerably since the arrival of the cold front. Cooler weather has slowed fishing in many areas. Fishing should pick up as the weather warms. Although weekly stocking is over for the heat of the summer, fish are still in the urban lakes. The best cat fishing is during low light or nighttime conditions. Stinkbait and shrimp fished on the bottom is your best bet. Hot dogs, bacon and chicken livers will also entice the bite. We fished Sandy Hook late last night — arrived at 11:30 — after the tide went high at 10:30, and fished until about 3. Not a bump. However, when we arrived at the tip of the hook, we noticed that the angler next to us had nailed a large cow striper weighing about 30 pounds. [...] Recently left for dead due to accidental over lowering of the water levels, Lake Hopatcong, NJ’s largest lake has benefited from the heavy rains that have soaked the state in June. These rains have brought the water levels right back up. Just in time for summer fishing |
