Atlantic Ocean - November 18th, 2009
supplied by: Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association RECORDED:54 °FISHING: Great
The captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are hopeful the fishing will be as hot after last week’s severe nor’easter as it was before it struck. Captain Fran Verdi of the “Drop Off” fished the day before it hit and began the day with two keepers on the incoming tide on the north bar of Little Egg Inlet. When the white water disappeared, and Captain Fran pulled anchor to look for more white water. He reports that spot was constant action despite the rolling white water and crashing waves. At the day’s end the crew had seven fish 34-39 inches. He is continuing to fish Wednesday to Monday with mostly open boat fishing.Captain Carl Sheppard of the “Star Fish” out of Beach Haven says he wanted to fish last Saturday, but it was just too rough. He adds that his action on Sunday helped to make up for missing Saturday. He started by trying to fish a rip in the bay, but had to stop due to muddy water and an excess of sea weed. He made the decision to brave a few swells in the inlet and see what the ocean had to offer. The move was a good one as he located a flock of gannets working over an area in 35-feet of water. What he found was a school of striped bass with no bluefish mixed in. He managed to jig up 22 bass with most of them keeper sized. He even tried trolling a diamond jig on his way back to port and even picked up a bass this way. Captain Frank Camarda and the “Miss Beach Haven” fished Monday taking good advantage of the increase in the daily blackfish limit. Both the weather and the fish cooperated as the every angler aboard limited out except for one. The boat remained in one spot for the day, and most of the fish were between two and four pounds. Darren Garabo of Beach Haven won the pool with a 4-pounder. Captain Frank says he will be sailing Saturdays and Sundays at 7 am.

Great Bay - November 10th, 2009
supplied by: Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association RECORDED:64 °FISHING: Excellent
The sudden spell of warm weather last weekend not only made fishing comfortable for the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association, it also produced some nice catches.The “Miss Beach Haven” with Captain Frank Camarda did some wreck and bottom fishing last Saturday, and all anglers caught multiple blackfish along with some porgies and one triggerfish. “Bam-Bam” from Philadelphia was the pool winner with a 4-pound blackfish. Sunday’s bite was a little slower but hard work by Captain Frank put a keeper blackfish in everybody’s cooler. The pool winner Sunday was 5.5-pounds. Captain Fran Verdi of the “Dropoff” reports good striper fishing even though he usually has to make a few moves every day based on the tide and winds. One day he had Mitch and Bruce out for limit catches by both anglers. The fish ranged from 34 to 38-inches. Another day Captain Fran had the Jeff Austin party out, and they started in the inlet and moved to the bay waters. The group ended with four keepers to 18-pounds. A check of the fish bellies showed the ocean fish were eating clam chunks and crabs while the bay fish had clam, sand eels, and a small flounder in them. On Sunday Captain Fran had the Matt King party out, and he started fishing in the bay first. With a lack of action there he moved to the ocean. Although they lost a couple of big fish close to the boat, they ended up with several bass to 20-pounds. Captain Carl Sheppard on the “Star Fish” found big striped bass both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday he fished the white water of the inlet with a bushel of clams for chum and bait, eels, and fresh bunker. The clams and bunker both produced fish including David Oppenheim’s first ever bass. Captain Carl reports Sunday was more of the same except the fish were larger and some big bluefish showed up. The blues favored the fresh bunker chunks. For addition information about the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association, visit the group’s website at www.fishbeachhaven.com
