We are catching blues and fluke in the bay and inlet along with some stripers in the mix. We are available every day for these trips, even the days I have announced as Open Boat Tuna Trips below.
The bluefin tuna have moved in to our area hot on the heels of the massive squid invasion that is happening off the Jersey coast right now. These fish are in striking distance. 20 to 30 mile runs to the grounds. Drifting with bait will be the primary tactic, though we always have the jigging arsenal on board, for those that want to try while we are bait fishing. Expect to be jigging squid for a good part of the trip as these are the live hookbaits we want out, and it’s a lot of fun while waiting for the violent strike on the tuna rod. We only troll if we are in search mode or it is productive.
The bluefin tuna regs came out last week and as a charter boat we can keep three fish between 27 and 47 inches, one of which can be 47 to 73 inches, or all three can be between 27 and 47 inches.
Sailing Open Boat or Charter for Bluefin Tuna:
Sunday June 7, Monday June 8, Tuesday June 9 and Wednesday June 10
5AM to 3PM $450 person, 4 people max, all fished are shared.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on board!
Thank you,
Dave
