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. On Monday, Paula Shafer (not related to the Late Night With David Letterman star) was on vacation with her husband (not Paul Schaefer) and visiting relatives; she was the pool winner with a nice keeper flounder. Continue reading Delaware Bay Fishing Report: Flounder Action Heats Up Yesterday, I get a message from a dear friend of mine, Dave. He sends me a message “call me now” and the message includes a picture of him holding a rainbow trout. Huh? A trout? I get messages like this all the time. Of course, Dave’s holding a fish, so I call him right away. Continue reading Catch Big Trout at Rainbow Paradise Trout Farm 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. Continue reading Maryland State Record Cobia Caught 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. Fluke action continues to dominate the inshore fishing scene. Some areas are experiencing almost all throwbacks. If you are fishing for flatties and catching only shorts, try another spot that might yield bigger fish. Kingfish action has improved, but no one can get the bloodworms that the kingfish desire. Offshore action has been hit-or-miss, with many more bluefish around than tuna for those fishing for bluefins. Canyon fishing is still spotty, with some days procuring much better than others. Continue reading South Jersey Fishing Report: Fluke Dominate The wind shifted to out of the South last week which drove the water temperature down inshore and turned off the fluke fishing along the beach. Offshore, shark action is reaching its summer peak with some makos and big threshers being caught just 18 miles from the beach. In Barnegat Bay, the influx of freshwater and colder temperatures had a positive effect on the weakfish as bigger fish were being found near the inlets. Despite the influx of colder water, some cobia were caught along the beach last week. Continue reading Central Jersey Fishing Report: Shark Action Peaking Off Central Jersey Coast Fluke fishing in northern water continues to tease anglers with a ten to one mix of shorts to keepers, and bass fishing remains an evening bite. Increasing amounts of smaller bluefish are moving into the bays, and inshore bluefishing caught fire as the full moon arrives. It looks like fishing should be good, barring any weather problems. Good numbers of weakfish are also moving into the bays. However, it’s still about 25 shorts to every keeper. Bottom fishermen are enjoying a solid mix of sea bass, ling and tog, along with increasing amounts of porgies. The first bonito, albacore and croakers have been caught in northern waters, and we got the first reports of yellowfin being taken. Continue reading Good Fluke Action Found In North Jersey
She also said that several short flounder are also coming over the rails, and Walter Leashefski one 2.10-pound keeper that took the pool She said that some sea bass and blues were also caught. The Reliable is sailing daily at 7:00 a.m. and our Headboat price is $40.00 for a 7 hour trip. Shirley aboard the Reliable out of Bower’s Beach said that the boat fished yesterday, and the croaker bite fell off a bit. They still caught some She said that Seaford, Delaware resident Fay Griffith her Monthly Mega Monster Pot Cash money which totaled $164.00 for the month of June. Fay also won the onboard fish pool with her 5.5-pound flounder which was $64.00 for that day. She added that Fay is also in the running with her big flounder for the Annual Mega Monster Cash Pot, which is currently $240.00 and continues to grow. Shirley aboard the Reliable II said that Sunday morning started off with lots of Headboater enthusiasts who had one thing on their mind — winning the Reliable’s June Mega Monster Cash Pot Contest. The June Mega Monster Cash Pot had jumped to $149.00. Several flounder shorts were caught and a heartbreaking almost close legal flounder was caught by Fay Griffith, which was 18 1/4″ long and thrown back. Not a one croaker was caught or even seen. Finally, cries of “Fish On” broke the silence. Fay Griffith from Seaford, Delaware hooked into a big one. At first, she thought it was a skate, because it did not want to come off of the bottom.
