Raritan bay fishing report apr.27

(24 posts) Raritan bay fishing report apr.27 The bite slowed down this weekend especially with respect to clamming which was made difficult by the strong northwest winds. Lots of smaller fish caught and many more missed. The trolling was better though and the bigger fish were hitting trolled plugs. Still not what it was a few days ago. Our biggest bass went around 15 lbs.Fishin'

Yellowfin tuna fishing out of Grand Isle Louisiana

(9 posts) Yellowfin tuna fishing out of Grand Isle Louisiana The fishing has been incredible this year. We did 2 overnight trips and filled both fish boxes and had to use the customers drink cooler to get the last few fish iced down. There was a rip 100 yards wide with lots of chicken dolphin we only spent a few minutes there it was still forming up. It should be a great year. We only have a few days left in May and June on the catamaran. I'm headed to Destin Tomorrow to pick up a 60 Hatteras that I will be chartering this summer and a 60 Bertram. Both boats will be ready to fish in a week. I will post more pictures when we get back. I will be offering 12 hour trips up to 72 hour trips. Lunch and dinner will be provided. Give us a call for a trip of a lifetime.

Hot Bass fishing in Raritan Bay

(24 posts) Hot Bass fishing in Raritan Bay April 21. First trip of the season. Flat seas, warm and sunny and the fishing was fantastic. Started out clamming and had action all morning with fish from 12 inches to 20 + lbs. The bite slowed with the slack tide so I put out the trolling rods and had fish on right away including bass over 25 lbs. Great start to what looks like a very productive season. The bass are here now in good numbers.
I have dates still available for the spring Striper run.Fishin'

April Moon Bill Wraps Report

Saludos again from the island of Enchantment

April went all the way from Fools to Easter week with plenty of action and everything from flat to sporty seas.

The first two weeks of April were marked by great sea conditions and bird piles with respectable size Mahi Mahi. Brown Boobies running west with feeding Mahi Mahi. Every day averaging from 3 to 5 mahi Mahi (always one bull and few cows) all in the 25-50 pound range.
Third week of April the Sea conditions changed dramatically with winds of 20-25 knots and seas averaging 7-10 feet. Making conditions SPORTY. We stayed fishing Caribbean water with the protection of Culebra and Vieques, having tons of fun with the King Macks, Cero Macks, Cudas and Bonito.
This fourth week the Sea conditions settled down, with East Southeast winds and north long period swells. The whole picture changed with plenty of weed lines. Also the schools of skipjack, Bonito, Blackfin and yellow fin tuna are present in the trench.
It seems that the Marlin Candy arrived and the season starts now in May.
Lets get ready to have tons of Fun Under the Sun.

till next bite

Fishing Fort Lauderdale Happy Day Today

(174 posts) Fishing Fort Lauderdale Happy Day Today
Fishing Fort Lauderdale on Happy Day Today with Capt. Zsak

Anna and Dan Grinder, along with their children, Courtlan, age 14, and Jackson, age 11, and Anna?s brother, Champ Delashmutt along with his son, Jacob, age 10, chartered the Happy Day Today along with the Topshotfishing team to do some deep sea sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Winds were out of the east at 12 mph, seas running 3-4 ft. with blue skies.

It is always good to see old customers returning for another fishing charter, especially, when it?s the 4th generation fishing. I remember Anna and Champ going fishing with their father and grandfather aboard the Happy Day Today when they were kids, and now they are parents themselves taking their children fishing.

Fifteen minutes after leaving the dock, lines were in 120 ft. of water at the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale. We put two #8 plainers down, one with a 3 ? blue reflector drone spoon and the other with a pink and blue sea witch in front of a double hook Bonito. For surface baits we had two Bonito strips with sea witches in front and two Ballyhoos.

While all three children were excited waiting for their first fish, the plainer rod bent over. Cartiam was our first angler as he reeled in a 10 lb. Bonito. From there the action started ? Jackson was the next angler on the plainer rod - we decided to leave the plainer rod in the covering board to make it easier for him to reel in. He was rewarded with a Black Fin Tuna. Next up was Jacob and we repeated the process of leaving the rod in the holder ? he caught another Bonito. Everybody took their turns including mom and dad and wound up with eight Bonitos, three Tunas and one Kingfish which will be served for dinner that night. I was pleased to have the fourth generation of this family fishing with me, and look forward to seeing them again soon.

All anglers retired into the a/c salon aboard the Happy Day Today for the trip back to the dock at Bahia Mar 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.

Fort Lauderdale Fishing Happy Day Today

(174 posts) Fort Lauderdale Fishing Happy Day Today
Fishing Fort Lauderdale on Happy Day Today with Capt. Zsak

Judy and Carl Ods, along with their children, Liz and Carl, Jr., and friend, John, from Michigan were vacationing in Fort Lauderdale, FL and chartered the Happy Day Today along with the Topshotfishing team to do some deep sea sport fishing. The winds were out of the east at 7 mph, seas running 2-3 ft. with blue skies.

Mr. Ods told me that his son, Carl Jr., had been talking about catching a Shark for the past few weeks, so that was our target for this charter. For the past couple of weeks, large migrations of Sharks (Hammerhead, Mako, Bull, Lemon, Tiger and Thresher) have been passing by Fort Lauderdale in approximately 350 ft of water.

We left the dock and twenty minutes later lines were in the water at the Shark grounds that are in 350 ft. of water off of Fort Lauderdale, FL. We put out three Shark baits ? a surface, mid-range and bottom ? and waited for his arrival. Thirty minutes into it, we were hooked up on our mid-range bait as line peeled off of the 80 International Penn reel and then in a split second it went slack ? pulled hook!! We reset again and waited. Then the rod with the bottom Shark bait bent over and line screamed off the reel ? looks like a solid hook up!!!! Carl, Jr. hopped into the fighting chair to do battle, while we cleared the rest of the tackle. Even though he had youth on his side and was in excellent shape, the strength of the Shark and the fifty minute tug of war was whittling him down. He was ready to surrender, but, Mark, our mate and everyone else on board the boat gave him a pep talk on not quitting and it worked because twenty minutes later he brought the estimated 350 lb. Hammerhead Shark measuring 126? long to the side of the boat for picture taking and release. As well deserved, congratulations were given to Carl, Jr. by all!!!!! His family knew that his plans tonight would be staying in the hotel room resting and recharging his batteries.

Everyone retired into the a/c salon aboard the Happy Day Today for the trip back to the dock at Bahia Mar 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale 33316.
