First Two Days of 2018 Fluke Season by Ed Valitutto
On Friday opening day, Alan Goracy and I fished Double Creek. It’s been dredged and nicely marked but there are two or three spots where it is really narrow between the buoys. Despite the large fleet, we quickly had 15…
Opening Day Fluke by Phil Simon
Fished the bay opening day for fluke. Started at the BI, then the 40 can. Nada. Moved to the Research Buoy – lots of algae already on the bottom – my bucktail with teaser kept picking it up. Switched to a white…

Bob Dodds reported a day sea bass fishing. Three generations of the “Dodds” family went sea bass fishing on Friday May 25th with Captain Greg Carr on the Kev’N Ash II docked in Barnegat Light. Bob (aka Pop Pop), son…
What A Shame! by Dave Spendiff
I arrived at Gulf Point this morning at 7:30 and started to troll the bay with spoons. I trolled and trolled and trolled without a touch until 10:00 when I finally hooked and boated a small bluefish. I went back…

The Bay Blues are Back
Headed out a bit late this morning to, once again, troll for the allusive bay blues. Went to the Gulf Point Bay, the area between Gulf Point and the Barnegat Condos. I started the troll in overcast weather with south…
Sunday on the Carolyn Anne III by Greg Ruffing
Sunday I went fishing on the Carolyn Anne for Tog. A light crowd, nice weather and smooth seas made for a fine day. After witnessing a 9 lb and 8 lb Tog come aboard, I cast aside Bob Misak’s jigging…
Hail! Hail! The Gangs All Here! by Ed Valitutto
It all started with a call from Caesar Friday night reporting that the perch were hitting in Mill Creek and did I want to fish. Saturday was out so we decided to meet on Sunday. My buddy and member Alan…
