Cape May Fluking from Don Decaro on July 22, 2014

Posted on July 24, 2014 by VHFC

Hello all,
I would like to share a wonderful experience with you guys. On July 22, I went on an “open” charter with Captain Adam of the Adam Bomb. – see website shown below.
Although it was noted by the a few regulars and the captain to be a relatively poor day, it was damn fine day for me. We fished at and/or by the Delaware Reef and caught a dozen or so keepers off the many wrecks (natural structure, tanks, oil refinery parts, etc.). We lost many rigs jigging, but please note that Adam provides all the tackle – including stinger hooks.
The Captain is very professional, polite and finishes off the day by filleting and bagging the day’s catch for the fishermen.
With such a great experience, I am in the process of booking another fluke trip in September and I am already booked for blackfishing in November (and will probably book another one in December).
If anyone would like more information from me, please feel free to have them write me or call (609 597-3057). Of course, Captain Adam will be happy to answer all questions directly.
Don
PS – the largest one measured a tad over 25 inches! The other one a pinch under.

Fishing Facts

Of the fifty United States, thirty-eight have a striped-bass record. New Jersey has the largest striped-bass record—a 78-pound 8·ounce whopper that was caught in 1982. The state with the smallest striped-bass record is Iowa. That landlocked striper weighed only 9 pounds 4 ounces and was caught in 1983.

There’s something fishy about beer these days. Fish Tail Ale is popular as ever, and New Jersey’s Flying Fish Brewery is one of the state’s largest specialty breweries. There’s also Washington’s Wild Salmon Organic Pale Ale, Florida’s Land Shark beer, Delaware’s Dogfish Head beer, and two versions of Stingray beer—a lighter version from the Cayman Islands and a dark beer from Canada.

The triangle fly is probably the most unusual of saltwater flies. It’s one of the few, if not only, flies tied to a treble hook. It’s also barely a fly at all, because hardly any material is used. It is complete after tying the two straw pearl twinkle flashes and the tiny tuft of natural squirrel, leaving an entire hook fully exposed. Incredibly this barebacked treble fly is a knockout when it comes to sea trout.
