Subject: 5 year old daughter fish with dad
Hello fellow fishermen.I would like to know if it would be worth it to take my little girl on a party boat.I dont live far from Sandy Hook N.J.The problem is that she has never been on a boat of that size.Should I rent a small boat and try fishing in the river or sandy hook bay.If at all possible can some one have some advice. Thank You.

We were trolling the Mudhole area for tuna. We got into them late in the afternoon. We caught as many as you wanted between 20" - 24", no fish over the minimum of 27". |

FISHING REPORT FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 3RD - 10TH
Well??????? What have you folks been waiting for?????? GET OUT AND FISH!!!!!!
Bluefishing is finally approaching it's early season peak, with big catches being made day and night....we had several fine days this week, with most of the action about 18 miles southeast of the inlet....all nice gaffing size fish.....bunker chunks work well......there is action north of the inlet as well, so this fishery is shaping up real nice for June and early July......I don,t even want to venture a guess as to when the mid-summer spawning will occur....water temps have still been holding on the cool side, but the past few days have finally seen major temperature improvements.......
We had the chance to take a great group of guys and gals out this past week on a shark charter.......hearing of the first Mako activity in the vicinity of the Resor wreck, we left the inlet at first light this past Thursday with "near-perfect" conditions....light breeze....calm seas...NO boat traffic.....setting up a slick in 61.5 degree waters(still a bit cool) immediately got us action but from the wrong kind of sharks: spiny dogfish.....It didn't matter where in the water c column we fished...the packs of dogs were so intense that even blues were few and far between in our slick.....one mystery run-off, and a few bergalls later(even the resor wasn't giving up her load of ling and sea bass easily: fish marked just weren't cooperating), the reason for our slow day was finally discovered........Laurie had been sitting on the bait most of the day, and while it DID help thaw the frozen bait much quicker, it just wasn't working as a fish attractant!!!
Bottom fishing is holding up nicely.......lots of nice size sea bass are coming over the rail, and fluke fishing, which was very slow with the cooler waters, is finally showing signs of improvement.....its great to fish the hard-bottomed areas and know that fluke AND sea bass can come over the rails on any given drift.........
One last note.....ok...you KNOW the fishing is getting better as we speak...and judging by the volume of calls I'm getting for charters, there are plenty of you who have waited to hear good reports before you
decided to book us.....well, we still have a few choice dates available these next 3 months, with some great pricing on mid-week day and evening trips.....but honest-to-God...the dates are becoming few and far between.....so if you have ANY thoughts about a trip...please reach out now before they vanish.....call or email, and I'll get back to you
ASAP.......
One last note the Tampa VII will be sailing July 3rd to the Red bank firework display & July 4th Macy NYC firework display www.tampavii.com

FISHING REPORT FOR WEEK OF MAY 27TH - JUNE 4TH
The shore Fishing season has started in earnest, and this past week gave
the Tampa VII customers a wide variety of results to talk about.......
Friday June 1st saw as many sea bass as anyone could ask for hopping
over the rails with just a few drops on the rough bottom (50 - 70 feet
deep) north of the inlet......nice size fish too! Loads of three
pounders, and the pool winner turned out to be a nice 4 pound fluke!
PLEASE NOTE: Water temps last week along the shore were still a bit too
cold for fluke fishing.....a few consecutive days of non-Southerly winds
should bring the temps up a bit, and turn the fluking back on to the way
it was a few weeks prior to that.
On Friday night, yours truly had to take the Tampa back out to the
bluefish grounds, and plenty of gaffing-size blues were caught 14 miles
NE of the inlet.....the ride home was a bit tougher than usual, but the
Tampa VII did as well or better than any boat on the bluefish grounds
that night!
Saturday the 2nd, saw more Sea Bass action once again.....while the fish
werent massed together like they were the previous days, we still
managed a nice pick working a wider area, and sneaking onto a few of my
secret wrecks that are loaded with fish.
Saturday eveing, Sunday, and Monday's charters all saw bluefish action
that can best be described as a pick, with Sunday's trip and Monday's
having the more consistant action. When the schools of fish are
concentrated in a rather small area, heavy boat traffic can wreck havoc
on the action......but as usual, there are still plenty of schools of
fish still working their way north and inshore.....the blue shark run
that normally graces our waters right after Memorial day still hasnt
materialized, and thats a sure sign that water temps are still a bit
cool, and keeping many fish south of our area yet......I think these
next few weeks will see prime action both for bottom AND bluefishing
develop!

FISHING REPORT FOR WEEK OF MAY 14TH -20TH
Well...its already turning into a "mixed bag" of fishing, both from a species as well as a results standpoint......this past week saw mixed bottom fishing results, with some charters scratching out a few keeper fluke when drift and sea conditions permitted, but no big scores to report.......Blue fishing has been excellent, in a variety of places, and it's simply a matter of finding the still-moving schools as they settle in along our coastline.....
This past Saturday was a perfect example of what fishing can be like at the moment.....after spending some time trying our luck at bottom fishing...and finding the fluke rather un-cooperative, it was decided to give blue fishing a try...but the huge fleet focusing on jigging 3-4 pound blues all the way up around the hook, was batting .000.....this is one of those situations that, as a captain, I simply dread....options start dwindling down, and we have to try and find some fish to fill the boxes with.....as we sailed North along the beach, I spotted some bird activity in closer to shore, and also started noticing some major bait readings on my new Is Tex fish finder....deciding to give jigging a try with literally not a boat in sight, and miles way from the fleet, we started hooking up IMMEDIATELY with those very same 3-4 pound blues plus one keeper Striped Bass , and in a matter of minutes everyone on board was into catch and release the action was so fast and furious......I called in a few of the other boats, and before you know it, the "Fleet" was centered around US!!!!!!!
Better yet....after I decided to move and try and find a new school of fish, we spotted bird activity yet again....once again, not a party or charter boat in sight, and the action resumed just as fast and furious as before.......
Night fishing has been pretty decent about 10 miles S.E. of the inlet, and out at the mud hole, with larger blues invading the lights, and charters getting their fill of action......
This past Sunday, the fleet was forced to drift the Manasquan river due to rough seas and a snotty easterly wind that kicked things up, but about a dozen keeper fluke were lifted over the rails, and if there had been less boat traffic, who knows how much better we would have done there.......
Keep posted for the weekly conditions right here......

This past weekend (11/18 & 11/19) the striper fishing was fantastic. Each day we limited out on the slotfish. We had 5 fish over 28" each day. We also released at least 20 fish each day. Hope it holds up a little longer. |

Striper fishing has been excellent up till this Sunday. On October 13, Hank Hrycak put a 32.5 lb stiper in the both along with 2 other over 28" (bonus tag) and two 26". The following day I had the Ralph DeJulia party aboard for my best trip of the year. On on pass we put in two 29" and a 31" on one rig and a 33" on the other. That day all we put in the boat was fish over 28", we had a total of 20 in one hour. Striper fishing is good now. |

Subject: Canyon Trip
With reports of fishing in the Hudson on the wane, mate Tony Hamidy & I decided on the Lindenkohl & were rewarded...well, 50% anyway...for our efforts. West Coast visitor & host Richard Clarke & guests Jim Murphy, Paul Onitsuka & his son Alex were aboard. Arriving with three hours to troll, we found schools of breaking Longfins & Porpoise schools which kept us busy before setting up for the chunk. A slight interruption required the captain to don bathing trunks & cut a booby-trap off the props (nice warm, clear water, I could see baitfish but thankfully no sharks) but we were underway & catching Longfins quickly. Paul helped 11 year old Alex boat his first Big Game Tunas... lotta fun! At the magic hour of sunset (it happens almost every time) I hooked the first Yellowfins of the day (2), hit the M.O.B. button, boated the fish & started chunking with all great expectations! Not a touch, not a runoff, not a peep all night...Tony & I worked the lines & baits but to no avail. Morning brought the great Longfin bite we had left the evening before & a total of 10 Longfins & the 2 Yellows were our prize. |

Try trolling ballyhoo slow and close for bigeyes. A close friend of mine went 1 for 3 with that technique.
The same day, we did very well on longfins with green machines and zuker bars from the Reel Seat (get some if you don't have them). |
