FISHING: Good
The boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been working the wrecks and reefs seeking a variety of fish as they await the May 28 start of the black sea bass season. Captain Adam Nowalsky ran a half day bachelor party recently on the “Karen Ann II.” Evan Weis set up the soiree in honor of Jared’s big day. Despite leaving the dock with a few showers, the weather and sea conditions were fine.Since the group was more interested in catching fish than taking any home, Captain Adam anchored up for a few hours in one of his blackfish hotspots. They found a good steady bite and managed to land and release over 2 dozen blackfish.The “Miss Beach Haven” sailed last Saturday under Captain Frank Camarda on a 10-hour cod fishing trip. These trips have become very popular, and several anglers were shut out as they failed to reserve their spots in time.The boat fished in two locations, catching over 30 cod in the 3-6 pound range. They also managed over 100 ling. In addition some nice black sea bass and tautog came over the rails but had to be returned as their seasons are closed. The pool winner for the trip was a cod that weighed in at almost 8-pounds.The “Miss Beach Haven” will be turning its attention to black sea bass this weekend as the season opens up on May 28.Captain Lindsay Fuller is bringing the “June Bug” back up from North Carolina this weekend for the 2011 fishing season. Captain Lindsay says he plans to make a slow trip up and do some fishing, trying to pick up some tuna and mahi-mahi.Additional information on the association can be found at www.BHCFA.com or by calling 1-877-LBI-BHCFA (1-877-524-2423).

FISHING: Great
The boats of the Beach Haven Charter fishing Association have found success lately with three different types of fishing.The “Miss Beach Haven” with Captain Frank Camarda had a banner day last weekend on an offshore codfish trip. The head boat made the 10-hour trip with great weather and calm seas. They fished in 110 feet of water and only had to move anchor once on the wind shift. The crew ended the trip with over 60 keeper cod up to 10-pounds plus numerous throwbacks. In addition, there was a nice mix of ling and pollack. Most of the cod were in the 5-7 pound range. High angler was Tommy Hook who managed a dozen keepers. The “Miss Beach Haven” will be making another 10-hour cod trip on May 21 when it sails at 4:40 am. and returns at 3:30 pm. The cost of the trip is $80 and is limited to 32 anglers, usually by reservation.Captain Carl Sheppard had the Stoopes’ party out last Saturday for fluke on the first day of the season. Fishing in a chilly 50-degree water, the fishing was slow until Captain Carl decided to try power trolling.This technique worked and by the end of the day they boated 12 fluke, with the largest being 25-inches. The fluke bit on everything from Gulp to live minnows with a slight preference for red lures in 6-feet of water.Captain Fran Verdi had a striper trip recently and began the day having trouble getting his clam baits to the bass due to the large smooth dogfish that kept inhaling the baits. Once the sharks moved on, they developed a very nice striper bite. They caught a total of six bass and brought three home in the cooler with the largest fish at 17-pounds.

Captain Adam Nowalsky of the “Karen Ann II,” a member of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association, ended the spring blackfish season in good fashion. Captain Adam had the father and son team of Alan and Michael Preis and their group out for the closing day of the season. The group went home with their limit of blackfish with Preston boating the largest blackfish of the year so far with a 9-pound monster. The current set of regulations for black sea bass has the captains of the BHCFA gnashing their teeth over what they feel are bad decisions being made on poor scientific evidence. Two of them are participating in a scientific project to help correct this. Scientists at Rutgers University are undertaking a study of sea bass, especially the effects of sex change on sea bass and how it affects their spawning abilities. Most black sea bass first mature as females with some fish later undergoing a change to become male. It is hoped that learning more about this process will help improve our abilities to manage this species. The project is funded by NOAA’s Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside Program. Captains Adam Nowalsky and Frank Camarda of the “Miss Beach Haven” are participating with the project. They will be tagging and releasing sea bass this summer. Anyone catching a tagged black sea bass is eligible for a reward by calling 1-888-776-6537 and providing information on the fish.

FISHING: Good
The spring blackfish season closes on May 1, and a couple of the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been catching as many of these tasty wreck dwellers as possible. Captain Adam Nowalsky on the “Karen Ann II” had a party out last weekend that was willing to brave the 33-degree temperatures that faced them at the dock. Initially the winds were howling as they cleared the inlet, but the seas calmed down, and the resulting 40-degree temperatures made fishing conditions tolerable. The ocean surface temperature was 47-degrees. Captain Adam said he was pleased with the catch, especially considering the conditions. The total catch for the 5-man crew was over 60 blackfish with a keeper ratio of about 50%. They also managed to pick up a few keeper codfish including a nice sized one by Dennis. Jack won fisherman of the day honors with his number of keeper blackfish in double digits. Captain Fran Camarda on the head boat “Miss Beach Haven” made its first trip of the spring last weekend with 15 anglers aboard. Mate Sal Rosa reports their total catch was about 20 fish mostly blackfish with 4 keeper codfish mixed in.

Mother Nature has been inflicting high winds and rain on the southern New Jersey coast recently. These conditions have slowed down the efforts of the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association but not shut them out completely. Captain Fran Verdi on the “Dropoff” has two recent trips that resulted in some decent striped bass action. Jack and Timmy sailed with Captain Fran on an “open boat” trip. They fished with fresh clams near Graveling Point, and, although it was a slow pick, each managed to boat one keeper bass. Monday saw the Russ Miserendino party on board who managed to fish in some flat calm conditions. Fishing the last 3 hours of the rising tide they had a nice pick of both short and keeper stripers. Once the tide switched to go against the wind, the bite shut down. The anglers ended with 3 keepers from 29-32 inches and 5 shorts, all under 22 inches. Captain Adam Nowalsky had a group out a week ago on the ocean for some wreck and reef action. Fishing in 44 degree water the five-man party caught about 40 total fish, 30 of which were blackfish. They ended the day with 14 keeper blackfish and another four legal sized cod. Bob had the hot hand, catching over half the keepers himself, while ex-mate Mark had a doubleheader of 5-pound blackfish. The headboat “Miss Beach Haven” has been kept at the dock by poor weather but expects to hit the blackfish grounds this weekend. Mate Sal Rosa reports he has been negotiating with Mother Nature, even promising her some fish fillets if she cooperates with some nice weather this coming weekend.

FISHING: Excellent
Now that the really cold weather has arrived, most of the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have finished putting their boats away for the winter or are in the process of doing so.
Just as all anglers should do, they are cleaning and organizing all of their gear and tackle so that they will be ready to go first thing in the spring. It won’t be long until the fish on the wrecks start to bite, and the migrating bluefish and stripers make their first appearance.
All of the captains send along their sincere wishes to all anglers for a happy holiday season and hope that all find their stockings filled with lures and other fishing knickknacks.
Anyone seeking additional information on the association or interested in bookings for the 2011 season can find their questions answered at www.BHCFA.com or by calling 1-877-LBI-BHCFA (1-877-524-2423).

Things are starting to wind down for most of the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association, but the “Miss Beach Haven” continues to haul fish over the rails on a regular basis.
Sal Rosa, mate on the “Miss Beach Haven,” reports they sailed on Thanksgiving with a handful of anglers. They had to work hard but managed to put together a respectable catch of bluefish and stripers. Mike from Tabernacle took top honors with a 12-pound striper.
On the day after Thanksgiving, rather than heading to the Mall on Black Friday, Sal helped a small group of anglers have a great day of striper fishing despite some nasty conditions. Originally they planned to fish for blackfish, but made the move to stripers with great success. The bass were in the 8-15 pound range.
Saturday’s trip was made in some nasty seas, but the fishermen were able to find a good number of wreck fish in the 1-3 pound range. John Cheeseman won the pool with a 5.5 pound blackfish. On the way in some gannets diving helped them jig up some blues and stripers.
Sunday’s ocean conditions were nicer. The first wreck produced mostly shorts, but the next stop provided great fishing with many anglers limiting out. Cheeseman again won the pool, this time with a 6 pounder.
Captain John Koegler of “Pop’s Pride” reports he has pulled his boat and totally winterized it until Spring 2011. Captain John said it was 60-degrees when he was blocking the boat up, and it made him look forward to spring fishing already.

The boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been splitting their time successfully between blackfish and striped bass.The “Miss Beach Haven” under Captain Frank Camarda has been sailing both for striped bass and hitting the wrecks for some good catches of blackfish. Last week he had a great group of high school students from Cinnaminson out on a cold and rough day. The group from an AP Environmental Science Class handled the conditions well and all went home with bags of cleaned blackfish. Several of the students limited out. Saturday’s trip with Captain Frank was right on the money again as a boat load of regular anglers mugged up the blackfish. Several anglers limited out while most had 3-5 keepers. Dave won the pool with a 5.2 pound fish. On Sunday a limited group went out and caught plenty of fish, but many were throwbacks. After weeding through the shorts, most anglers limited out on 1-3 pound fish and the pool winner was 5.5 pounds. Other captains continue to catch nice sized striped bass with Little Egg Inlet being the hot place to fish. Both the outgoing and incoming tides have been productive with fresh clams for bait and some clam chum working the best. Additional information on the association can be found at www.BHCFA.com or by calling 1-877-LBI-BHCFA (1-877-524-2423).

The captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have been walking around with smiles on their faces, at least when the wind velocity stays under 30 miles per hour.The striped bass bite is as good in the waters around Beach Haven as it has been for many years. The only thing that occasionally slows the bite for the inshore boaters and those who jig and troll in the ocean waters are the periodic high winds and tides.The “Star Fish” out of Beach Haven fished for striped bass last Saturday with Captain Carl Shepherd and on Sunday with Captain John Koegler. Carl said they found a good amount of bass that were fat with clams and hard to catch. The fish kept bumping the baits but not picking them up. They had their anglers pick up the rods and bump the baits to entice the fish to bite.Captain Fran Verdi on the “Dropoff” has been returning from his fishing trips with nice sized stripers in the box up to 30-pounds. He has been doing the bulk of his fishing in the waters of Little Egg Inlet and some calmer areas just inside. He likes to anchor up and fish with fresh clam baits. The “Miss Beach Haven” with Captain Frank Camarda had a private party out last weekend that wanted to fish despite the rough seas. They managed a mixed bag of striped bass, bluefish, and blackfish. Captain Frank and his crew are excited now that the daily limit for blackfish is back up to 6 per person.

This past week saw two of the boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association ramp up their fishing action with topnotch results for their anglers.“The Miss Beach Haven” and Captain Frank Camarda ran a special 10-hour wreck trip last Saturday and returned to dock with 28 happy anglers. Despite conditions on the sloppy side, the steady fishing kept everyone satisfied. The first drop had good action, but a high concentration of throwbacks. The next location was about 20-miles off and produced many nice fish in the 3-5 pound range until the dogfish moved in. After trying two more unproductive spots, Captain Frank found the hot spot. There was steady action on black sea bass, triggerfish, and cod. Many anglers returned to dock with up to 20 fish and the low hook had 11 keepers. “Black Cloud Ted” won the pool with a big cod fish. Captain Fran Verdi on the “Drop Off” reports “the striper fishing on LBI just continues to get better and better.” One day recently fishing by himself he boated three keeper fish to 22-pounds, all on live spot. The next day he had the Jeff Austin party out for a day of very good striper action. They boated five keepers and lost another three at the boat. They were anchored near the inlet and fished with fresh clam. Captain Fran says they fished the inlet but not in the whitewater. Both the good wreck fishing and striper action should last well into December. Additional information on the association can be found at www.BHCFA.com or by calling 1-877-LBI-BHCFA (1-877-524-2423).
