On Saturday, we ran our first tuna trip of the season. It was not great. We caught 2 small yellowfin tuna and two nice mahi.
This Wed, Thurs, and Fri are available, July 9, 10, and 11. Open Boat or Charter. For those that like to stay in the bay or inlet, we could target bluefish at the inlet and then anchor up in the bay for a mixed bag of species on ultralite tackle. We would be looking for weakfish, kingfish, blowfish, and the whole cast of characters that invade the bay once we hit the water temp we are currently at. I’ve been reading anywhere from 74 to 76 degree water temperature in the back bay. Out at the inlet jetty I am showing 72.
The wind and sea condition looks good for each day. The traditional Weather Channel has a chance of thunderstorms each day, mostly late in the afternoon. This bold prediction is also known as “Summer time”. We usually start early in the morning and finish up before any storm activity. We have a Garmin/Sirius XM satellite weather station onboard that shows us the storm cells as they are born.
Bay/Inlet trips are available for charter on any of the July 9, 10, and 11 dates.
Also on these dates, I could offer an Open Boat to Barnegat Ridge and/or Tolten Lump for blue water fish. OK, greenish blue water. On our ride home from the tuna grounds Saturday, I couldn’t help but notice the good looking water on all of our inshore to mid range spots. We could target bonita, mahi, bluefin, and anything else we could find. 6AM to 2PM $350 person, 4 people max, all fish are shared. If I get enough interest, and the weather is stable, I would consider running to the 50/60 mile grounds again, especially if I get good intel.
There you have it. Lots of choices.
Thank you,
Dave
