As the ocean water temperatures near 80-degrees, the fishing for the boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association has been heating up.Captain Adam Nowalsky of the “Karen Ann II” out of Great Bay Marina reports water temperatures in the upper 70’s and a mixed bag of fish as a result. He reports lots of action on sea bass, fluke, triggerfish, and small blues along with some stories of good sized mahi-mahi, cobia, and big brown sharks. Recent trips on the “Karen Ann II” included the Caruth family of Royersford, Pa., who saw birthday boy Brandon celebrate his 11th with a triggerfish and bluefish. The Bujak family of Drexel Hill, Pa. had a fair catch of sea bass to 2-pounds along with a 20-inch fluke. Bill Bruner had a trip with sea bass to 3 pounds and a 22-inch fluke. Captain Adam’s other trips included the Salisbury House Group of Pottstown, Pa, the Holman Auto Group of Maple Shade, and the Sutphen family of Somerville who all found action on a mix of sea bass and fluke. Captain Frank Camarda on the “Miss Beach Haven” reports decent fishing over the weekend despite problems getting a good drift going. On Saturday there were a lot of fluke caught with a keeper ratio of 10-1. The pool winner was “Pizza Pete” from Mystic Island with a 5.5-pound sea bass. Sunday was more of the same with Mike Emers the high hook with 5 keeper fluke, and William Post the pool winner with a 4.5-pound fluke. Captain George Finck of “Sparetime Charters” had a nice combination of inshore and offshore fishing trips last week. One day he had the Laird family of Nebraska out for a good catch of fluke and sea bass. They also trolled up 20 bluefish. Another day he had his son Steve and grandson Eric out in the ocean for a nice catch of small fluke and sea bass. Both the flies and fish were biting. Then on Friday he took Ken Lieb and friends out on a canyon trolling trip. They returned with four nice yellowfin tuna along with four 20-pound class mahi-mahi. On Sunday Captain George was back inshore with Milan and Elliott Indrisek for a good catch of sea bass and fluke. Young Elliot topped the day with a 22-inch fluke. Captain Dave Wittenborn on the “Compass Rose” is raving over the fishing he has experienced the past few days. On Friday, he had Sarah Brown and her family out for a half day of bottom fishing. They experienced nearly non-stop action of fluke and sea bass topped by Sarah’s 4-pound sea bass. On Saturday Captain Dave took some friends out for some offshore fishing near the Carteret Canyon. Within 7 minutes they had a mahi-mahi on and steady action throughout the day. They ended the day with 7 mahi-mahi, 2 skip jack, 1 yellow-fin tuna, 1 blue marlin, and 1 white marlin. .
On Sunday Captain Dave had another great trip to the reef with Peter Ruel and crew. They were greeted with near perfect conditions, and the fish cooperated. They filled the fish box with 13 keeper fluke to 4.5 lbs plus countless releases of fluke and sea bass. Additional information on the association can be found at www.BHCFA.com

Some of the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are reporting very good action in the ocean on fluke and sea bass. For the most party the fish are biting very well, but the keeper fluke are still tough to come by.Captain Frank Camarda on the headboat “Miss Beach Haven” reports the fluke fishing has been pretty good in the ocean for the past week with a good mix of keepers and shorts. The water temperature is currently right around 73-degrees. Captain Frank adds that the bay fishing has also been decent as the fluke are making their way to the ocean. He has also seen a few cocktail sized bluefish and some croakers around. Captain George Finck of “Sparetime Charters had Phil McNeil out last week with son Carter and daughter Sidney for a day of bottom fishing. He reports the kids especially enjoyed the nice weather along with a nice catch of both sea bass and fluke. Another day he had Kevin Kernan and son Jack out for a nice catch of sea bass and short fluke. Captain George reports keeper fluke are hard to come by some days. Over the weekend he had the McCauley’s and Smiths out for bottom fishing. The fishing was great despite a lack of keeper fluke, but they were happy to put a mix of sea bass, fluke, and bluefish in the fish box. Captain Dave Wittenborn had Sarah Brown and family out last Friday on the “Compass Rose” celebrating Dad’s 60th. The conditions were excellent in the ocean, and the fish cooperated with practically non-stop action for some five hours. The happy party returned to the dock with six nice keeper fluke, several sea bass, and released at least 20 shorts. Captain Dave had even better action on Saturday for Dave Nyre and his crew. He said he did not even have time to eat lunch the fishing was so constant. Besides well over 50 throwbacks, they had 16 keeper fluke. He went through extra bait he had brought and was cutting up strips of sea robin and fluke bellies which produced well. Captain Lindsay Fuller had a canyon t rip on the “June Bug” Monday of all lawyers including a justice on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. They left prior to midnight Sunday night and were fishing at 4:30. They small yellowfin tuna at the drop at 100 fathoms but there were only 3 keepers out of the 10 caught. Despite their size they hit hard and fought like bigger fish. Around noon they hooked a larger fish but it bent the 12/0 forged carbon steel hook right at the boat. The fish appeared to be at least 80-pounds. Captain Lindsay worked weed lines in the afternoon and picked up a half dozen nice mahi-mahi.

FISHING: Excellent
! The boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been catching a wide variety of fish in different locations the past several days.Captain Carl Sheppard on the “Star Fish” reports Captain Vic went reef fishing last week off Beach Haven and caught plenty of black sea bass on the Garden Sate South Reef along with some fluke and bluefish. On Saturday Captain Carl went to the Barnegat Ridge for some nice sized bonito and Spanish mackerel plus some bluefish on the way in. Sunday was more of the same at the Barnegat Ridge for bonito and mackerel along with skipjack and frigate mackerel. Captain John Koegler on “Pop’s Pride” has also had a couple of good days on the bonito. He reports these are not the same bonito caught in the southern waters and make great table fare. Despite stormy weather and some rough seas, Captain George Finck of “Sparetime Charters” and a member of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association has been able to put together a couple of bottom fishing trips. On one trip he slipped out between thunderstorms with Joe Hogan, his dad George and son Jack to the Little Egg Reef. They managed a nice catch of sea bass and fluke despite the rough seas. On another trip Captain George had his son Bill and grandson Billy along with some friends out for some fishing in Little Egg Inlet. Although they had no keepers, they enjoyed plenty of action on fluke, sea robins, and dogfish.
Captain Frank Camarda on the “Miss Beach Haven” reported a tough day last Saturday with just a couple of sea bass and a handful of keeper fluke. The pool winner was Darl Vanduler from Hamilton Township with a 6.4-pound fluke
The results were much better Sunday as the anglers on the boat had good action pretty much all day. The high hook was Mike Emers with 4 keeper fluke, and the pool winner today as Cheeseman John with a 4-pound fluke. Additional information on the association can be found at www.BHCFA.com

FISHING: Good
BHCFA Notes Captain John Koegler of the boat “Pop’s Pride” reports good fishing for the past couple of weeks. He says fluke have shown up in Little Egg Inlet in good numbers, but not sizes. Only a few have been large enough to keep, but the anglers on board enjoyed catching and releasing fish. He finished off the trip by moving a little into the ocean and catching some good numbers of keeper sea bass.On a previous trip Captain John landed two large mahi-mahi while tuna fishing. In addition, they lost a bluefin tuna right at the boat when the hook pulled. Looking to the future, Captain John reports bluefin action is improving daily, and Atlantic bonito and bluefish have been returning to the Barnegat Ridges. Captain Carl Sheppard on the “Starfish” has been fishing both inshore at the reefs where he found some nice black sea bass and offshore at the 40-Fathom Line where he has found bluefin tuna and mahi-mahi.
Captain Dave Wittenborn on the “Compass Rose” reports his sea bass action is good. He fished the GS South Reef and had near perfect conditions all morning. He estimates catching 40 sea bass with a few big enough for the dinner table. There were a few double headers.
When the winds and seas kicked up around 1:00, Captain Dave made a couple of drifts by the OPT research buoys. They picked up a keeper fluke along with a short. Additional information on the association can be found at www.BHCFA.com

FISHING: Great
Despite water temperatures that have been changing as much as 10 degrees from one day to the next, the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been putting together some nice catches.
Captain Adam Nowalsky of the “Karen Ann II” sailing from Great Bay Marina
reports continued good weather and catching for anglers in southern Ocean County. Fluke continue to migrate out of the bays, with mostly smaller fish remaining in the bay. He says the majority of the keeper sized fluke are now coming from the ocean. The sea bass bite is dominated by sub-legal fish. This is a good sign for the future. Virginia's fleet of menhaden reduction boats were off Long Beach Island last week, working their way back south. If you see a fleet of a half dozen larger commercial boats with smaller sets of boats around them and a spotter plane flying overhead, give them a wide berth because they don't have much courtesy for the recreational
fishermen while setting their purse seine nets. In fishing highlights, Captain Adam said the Bender family from Bethlehem, Pa. led by 7-year old Luke ”The Boaterman” had a nice catch of big black sea bass. Another day he had a group of Seton Hall Alumni for “A Day With The Pirates.” They had a good catch of mostly black sea bass with Jerry Walker leading the way.Captain Dave Wittenborn of the “Compass Rose” found his fluke bite slowing with west winds and accompanying cooler water temperatures. Captain Dave solved that problem by fishing offshore some 8 miles where the deeper water was warmer. He said it was “Drop and reel” with a lot of shorts, but some real nice sea bass up to 5-pounds. Last week’s fishing was inconsistent for Captain Frank Camarda and the “Miss Beach Haven.” A lot has to do with water temperatures and the amount of grass and seaweed in the water. On the ocean trips there have been some jumbo sea bass up to 4 lbs and fluke to 6-pounds. Nina from Bordentown was Saturday’s pool winner with a 6-pounder. Sunday’s conditions were poor most of the morning, and they concentrated on sea bass until a breeze arrived and the fluke started to bite. High hook was Tom Hook from Manahawkin.with 3 nice size fluke and a couple of sea bass. Pool winner today was the duke of fluke himself, Ted Alves of Mount Holly, with a 5-pound fluke.

The boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are seeking fish both offshore and inshore at this point in the season.Captain Lindsay Fuller and the “June Bug” fished a bachelor party on Saturday hosted by dad Marty for son Andy due to wed in September. While they worked offshore a little further than an inshore trip normally would go, they didn’t find any bluefin tuna on the lumps and holes northeast of the 28 Mile Wreck. Andy did get tired out on a nice Mahi on the long rigger way back. The sea conditions were super. Captain Lindsay noticed unusually high numbers of squid between 30' and the canyons. What he doesn't understand is why various game fish. are not all over this huge biomass. Captain Fran Verdi ran an open boat Saturday on the “Drop Off” They fished in 75 to 100 feet of water and found a nice pick of sea bass. The water temp was 71 degrees, and they filled the box with 8 keeper sea bass and 2 bluefish. On Sunday Captain Fran had the Ben Allicker party on board at the reef for sea bass and fluke but only found short fish in 50-55 feet of water. They headed in close to shore to drift for fluke and did pickup up a keeper to go with several throwbacks there. On Monday the Dave Diaz family with two young daughters had a great time catching short fluke around the inlet on the incoming tide. Both little girls managed to catch their first fish.Captain Carl Sheppard of the “Starfish” reports finding “lots of black bass” on the reefs, especially the Garden State South. On another trip he found lots of small sea bass on the Little Egg Reef but few keepers. He attributes this to it being their breeding season. On Saturday he had a party of 11 anglers that caught over 50 sea bass, sea robins, ling, blues, and one keeper fluke. The largest sea bass was about three pounds.Captain Dave Wittenborn of the “Compass Rose” spent a week at the Outer Banks and visited a couple of his favorite marinas-Pirate's Cove in Manteo and the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. He says the boats were loaded down with yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi.Captain Dave adds that he hopes this is a good sign of things to come for the canyons within reach of the BHCFA’s boats out of Beach Haven as they gear up for offshore trips later this summer and fall. Capt. Adam Nowalsky of the “Karen Ann II” reports he did not get out fishing this past week as his boat received her annual maintenance. Captain Adam reports hearing of some nice mahi-mahi being trolled in the 30-40 mile range along with some bluefin in the 40-80 pound class.He adds there have been good catches of smallish yellowfin tuna in the offshore canyons from the Lindenkohl to the Hudson.

Summer like weather and sunny skies finally arrived in Beach Haven. The captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been producing some enjoyable fishing trips for their customers lately.Captain Adam Nowalsky of the “Karen Ann II” reports the fishing this past week was as good as the gorgeous weather. One trip he took the Greg Vilardo party to the Barnegat Ridges for a day of bluefishing. After good reports, the bluefish action there has slowed and moved north. Captain Adam tried chumming, bait, jigging, and trolling, all to no avail. There was excitement when they hooked up either a big shark or tuna that took all 300 yards of line before they could pull the anchor. They finished the day bottom fishing for about 75 sea bass, mostly throwbacks.On another trip Captain Adam had the Preis party out for a day of bottom fishing. They caught a good number of sea bass to 3.5 pounds, and with 40 in the box, made a few fluke drifts. They found no fluke but did pick up a couple more sea bass drifting. On the 4th of July, the “Karen Ann II” made a half day trip for Jericho Pacho and his family. They had steady catching all morning of tog to 6-pounds and sea bass. Jericho landed one of the season's best sea bass, at 4-pounds, 12-ounces. Captain Fran Verdi on the “Dropoff” and the “Cousins” has been finding good numbers of black sea bass. He reports “drop and reel” fishing in various depths of water. Most of the fish have been just under the 12.5 inch legal size, but he has been finding enough keepers to satisfy his parties. At times he also picks up ling, bluefish, and fluke. Captain Fran had a couple of “open boat” trips over the weekend and found good numbers of fish on some wrecks rather than fishing the artificial reefs. On the 4th he moved into deeper water and found larger fish. He says if the legal keeper size was still 12-inches, he would be limiting out. Sunday was more of the same but he provided an enjoyable day of fishing for the Paul party and their 8 year old son on his first saltwater fishing trip.Captain Dave Wittenborn on the “Compass Rose” had the Mike Kirkup crew out for sea bass and fluke at the Garden State South and Little Egg Reefs. With water temperatures in the 70’s they had a steady pick of fluke and sea bass until the winds died. Fishing around the Research Buoys produced more nice fluke including a 22-incher. For the day they caught over 20 fluke, 5 keepers, and several nice sea bass.On Saturday the water temperatures cooled for Captain Dave, and the fishing action slowed although they managed a couple keeper fluke. Sunday’s action rebounded with a rise in water temperatures, and the “Compass Rose” had fluke up to 24-inches.Captain Carl Sheppard of the “Star Fish” reports several decent trips over the July 4 holiday. Captain Vic had the boat on Thursday on a wreck trips resulting in over 40 sea bass and some very large porgies. Captain Sheppard had a party of 8 anglers wreck fishing out Friday in the morning with a catch of over 50 sea bass, bluefish, and fluke, including one monster sea bass. Captain Tom Masterson ran the afternoon trip on Friday also producing decent fishing.Strong winds made drifting difficult for Captain Carl on Saturday, and he anchored for a good catch. He also did some successful drifting in the inlet for fluke on the way in.Captain Tom had the same wind problems on Sunday with a party including 6 young children. Once again anchoring made things fishable, and they caught fish.The “Miss Beach Haven” and Captain Frank Camarda fished the reefs most of Saturday with a fair amount of shorts caught with some nice sea bass and some ling. The pool winner was “Wall Street Richie” with a 2.5-pound fluke. On Sunday there were not as many shorts with sea bass up to 3.5 pounds. Pool winner was a 5-pound fluke. The bay fishing trips during the week for Captain Frank have been mostly shorts with some keepers for the kids. The big fish of the week was caught on Friday and tipped the scale at 6-pounds.

The boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been returning to dock with some big catches.The “Hot Tuna” with Captain Bob Gerkens won the Beach Haven Marlin and Tuna Club's Mako Shark tournament on Saturday with a brute weighing in at 186.5 pound. The crew for the trip consisted of the boat's regular off-shore mate of Rich Stracensky, its junior mate in training Ryan Kellogg, and Barry Thomas of Allentown, P. Capt. Gerkens was near the pole when the Mako hooked up on a whole mackerel and did its first of two spectacular back flip jumps. He had the duty of handling the rod to the end of the battle. The fishing team did every thing correctly right up to the final gaffing. There were 3 other hookups for the day, one of which resulted in a release of what appeared to be a 75 to 100 pound juvenile thresher shark.“The June Bug” with Captain Lindsay Fuller made it out to the Lindenkohl Canyon with Dante Soriente and friends. The action was fast and furious as they managed to boat some 25 yellowfin tuna. Most were small, but they did box 3 keepers along with several skippies.The next day Captain Lindsay had the Catanese family from Hunterdon County out. Despite some rough seas they looked for bass in bunker pods, picked up a keeper fluke on the Garden State South Reef, trolled for bluefish at the Barnegat Ridge, and picked up several sea bass at the Garden State North Reef. Captain Fran Verdi had a full week of anglers. One day he had Tom and Matt Pitzer for a day of sea bassing on the reef. The two brothers were all about catch and release with 46 fish released including 10 in the 14 to 17 inch range. Another day Captain Fran shared the Huffnagle party, a large group from Pa., on the “Cousins” with Captain Adam Nowalsky on the Karen Ann II.” Capt. Adam fished the waters from 65 to 80 feet and Captain Fran took the waters from 50 to 65 feet. Capt. Adam ended the day with 40 keeper sea bass, along with a thresher shark that was on the line for a couple of minutes. Captain Fran had 19 keeper sea bass, 4 bluefish, one ling and a keeper fluke. The “Cousins” won the prize for the largest fish, a 3.6 pound sea bass. Captain Fran was back on the “Dropoff” with the Williams party for some sea bass. He marked plenty of fish but it was hard to get them to bite. He worked 6 areas and managed 10 keepers plus loads of shorts. Captain Fran finished the week with Lori Dobson’s party and Dave from the “Fish Eye” group. Lori’s two young sons fished hard and managed 4 keeper sea bass. Dave’s group came up empty on stripers but managed to pick up quite a few sea bass including 8 keepers. Capt. Adam Nowalsky from the “Karen Ann II” reports that fluke are being caught on the ocean in lesser numbers than in the back bays but the percentage of keepers is higher. He says he plans to make the switch from wreck fishing to fluke very shortly.His recent wreck fishing trips include the Doriety charter which finished the day with a box of 86 fish, mostly sea bass to 3 pounds along with some line and a 12-pound bluefish. The Sara Madonna Charter, a good group of EMT's fought the rough seas for nearly two dozen keepers for half a morning. The Beskin charter had similar results for half a morning’s fishing. The Marhan Colangelo Charter from the Long Branch area filled the box with 56 fish, mostly sea bass to 3 pounds along with some nice ling to 2.5 pounds. The Fred Verdi Charter from Lawrenceville kept almost 60 fish, primarily sea bass along with some ling and a bluefish.The Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association held its first Junior Mate’s Program last week with 8 eager future mates. It is not too late to sign up for this year with another meeting slated for Thursday, July 2 at the Beach Haven Maritime Museum at 7 pm. For information call Captain John Koegler at 609-290-3349.

FISHING: Good
The recent horrible weather that southern Ocean County has been experiencing has put a damper on much of the fishing. However, it has not kept all of the boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association at the dock.Captain Fran Verdi got the “Dropoff” out fishing for a while Saturday with George, the “Fluke Guy”, to the LE Reef for sea bass. They fished 3 hours in the morning and picked away at sea bass with some bluefish mixed in. Then heavy rains arrived, and they headed home in a torrential downpour. The final tally was six 14-17 inch sea bass and two bluefish. They also caught fluke, scup, and skates, but no dogfish.Captain Fran says George has been on a streak of bad weather. Known last year as the “Fog and Rain Man,” he may graduate to “Bad Weather George.” Captain Carl Sheppard on the “Star Fish” said he had a “beautiful day on the water” on Friday despite a miserable weather forecast. After exploring bunker pods for bass with no luck, he did some wreck fishing for over 40 sea bass and some very large porgies in a half day morning trip. On Saturday he went offshore with a party of 8 anglers where they drifted a number of wrecks until finding a productive spot. They caught over 50 sea bass, bluefish, and fluke. Sunday’s weather cancelled Captain Sheppard’s morning trip, but he managed to fish the back bay in the afternoon for a few fish. Captain Carl’s mate of 5 years, Tom Masterson has upgraded his license to 50 tons and will be running charters on Sunday afternoons on the “Star Fish.”Captain John Koegler on “Pop's Pride” fished Saturday and had a good catch of sea bass and bluefish. Two of the bluefish were small snappers less than 8" long which is unusual for June. The group gave stripers a try early but had no hookups. Captain Koegler has announced that the Junior Mate’s Program of the BHCFA will begin classes this Thursday night, June 25, at the Maritime History Museum on Dock Road in Beach Haven. All interested participants are requested to arrive by 7 pm.

Despite some nasty weather recently, the boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been finding fish on a number of different fronts.Capt. Adam Nowalsky the “Karen Ann II” reports that he will be sticking with the wreck and reef fishing for the black sea bass as long as the bite continues to hold up. He has also been catching some good sized tog with the sea bass, and there have been a few fluke caught on the ocean now, as well. His weekly highlights include the Ben Brown family of Hamilton who boxed 40 sea bass to 2.5 pounds along with a 7-pound blackfish released by Jessica.The Pang Family of Stroudsburg, Pa., had a thunderstorm shortened trip of non-stop sea bass catching with the girls out catching the guys by a wide margin. The Sutphen Charter of Somerville had a great day landing in excess of 600 sea bass with nearly 60 in the box. The big fish of the week was boated by Jack Buckafusco, Somerville, a personal best 12-pound, 15-ounce blackfish that was released. Captain Dave Wittenborn on the “Arlene Ann” picked off a nice 24-pound striped bass in Little Egg Inlet on live bunker. He found plenty of bunker pods in the ocean in 40-feet of water but no bass under them.Captain Lindsay Fuller on the “June Bug” hosted Scott and Rich on Sunday for a half-day inshore trip. A northeast wind of about 10 knots keeping his drift at about 3/4 of a knot. Since a half-day trip does not permit much travel time, he focused on the Little Egg Reef, trying a dozen or so pieces. Half had good concentrations of sea bass on the fish finder, but only one keeper could be found among all the throwbacks. Captain Carl Sheppard on the “Star Fish” fished a party of 2 on Friday with a total of 49 black sea bass and two sea robins, the first of the year, in two hours. They had 12 keepers, all blue-head males over 2.5-pounds. That night Captains John and Tom tried a night wreck fishing trip on the “Star Fish.” This trip the sea bass that filled the cooler filled the cooler were feeding on squid.
On Saturday the “Star fish” tried shark fishing at the 140-foot hole. They caught a 200-pound blue shark along with several smaller blues. They had a big mako estimated at 300-400 pounds on which pulled the hook after a lengthy battle.Sunday found Captain Carl back wreck fishing in 60-feet of water. The Hopkins family was hot with the black bass, porgies which were released, and sea robins despite the NE wind. Captain Frank Camarda on the “Miss Beach Haven” found good sea bass fishing on Saturday with a lot of fish caught. After sifting through the shorts they put together a catch of sea bass and some ling with quite a few blackfish that were released. On Sunday Captain Frank tried fishing for fluke and caught fish pretty much every drift. The high hook was Tom Hook from Manahawkin with 4 fluke over 19 inches with the biggest being 8-pounds, the pool winner. Captain Fran Verdi on the “Drop Off” made trips all week despite the weather even times in the fog when he needed his radar to find his way. One day t he Chris Nelson party ended the day with 9 keepers in the 13-18 inch range. Another trip with a group from the Village Harbor Fishing Club also resulted in 9 keepers but many more than that which were released.On Saturday Captain Fran fished the JCAA fluke competition with Team Chum Bucket. The anglers fished all over the bay but could only get one keeper at 18.5 inches. Shorts were the word of the day.On Sunday he had the “Cousins” out today with the Joe Tool Party.
