Exactly 10 days [ April 5th] after the first laughing gull sighting [ prior prediction was 10-14 days ] we are thick into big burly blues that just swam into town looking for fight!!

This Week some anglers aboard the Reel Fantasea scored this years first Barnegat Bay Slam which include any 3 of the above species in one trip! With one skillful angler scoring 2 slams in one trip!!

Not only have more big weakfish showed up this week but big gator blues have added even more rod bending , drag burning excitement to the already robust light tackle schoolie striper action!!

If you haven’t experienced the visual excitement of big slammers on light tackle while employing light tackle surface poppers the time is now!! This fish get right to business crushing and attacking anything that looks like prey!

I do have a couple of “Spring Break Specials” available this week [ 5pm- 8pm] which aligns  up perfectly with the tide this week for any body looking to jump aboard the Reel Fantasea for rod bending , drag burning , visual excitement.

Wishing everyone fair winds and calm seas,

Captain Steve Purul
