Mild temps. and light wind during our Fall season albeit very pleasant, doesn’t always translate into increased fishing activity and although we did have a brisk uptick in striper activity with striped bass into the upper thirty pound range it didn’t quite progress as hoped.

Continued fantastic light tackle action for anglers aboard the Reel Fantasea!

Fat Alberts continue to entertain and amaze our anglers with not only their greased lightening speed but their powerful drag scorching runs whether employing light spinning tackle or flyrod!

The snag and drop action with quality striped bass in the mid thirty pound range has broke open along our beaches for our anglers willing to do a little recon .

Unders [ 24-27.9999] and 28″ and over have provided fair to excellent action closer to working our bays and inlet area while employing both live and artificial baits.

Bluefish from 5-12lbs round out the action on a regular basis as well!!

I have this Friday [Oct 27] afternoon 2pm-5pm or 3pm-6pm for open or private charters. We will be targeting all of the above.

Wishing everyone fair winds and calm seas,

The albie fishing presently on hand is as good as it gets! Vast Schools of breaking fish for as far as the eye can see is making not only EPIC False Albacore fishing for the light tackle enthusiast but phenominal visual strikes as well with fish chasing our lures right to the hull!

If  a screaming drag and a bent rod is some of your favorite sights and sounds then get out there now! These gamesters are greased lighting so make sure you wear a pair of running shoes as they will rip you around the boat faster than any other fish that swims  our inshore waters!!

Wishing everyone fair winds and calm seas,

World class light tackle action with high speed dragsters from the likes of torpedo shaped little tunny has been absolutely insane!! Presently the amount of false albies along our beaches has been nothing short of historic with tons of bird plays , bait pods and aerial free jumping tunny as far as the eye can see!!

These little tuna pulled drag faster and harder than any fish that swim our local inshore waters. Although well placed casts continue to up the anglers opportunities to capitalize with coming tight but once the techniques are squared away look out and hold on for some fast and furious fishing!!

Stripers and bluefish also continue to provide excellent oppurtunites all within the safe confines of our bay and inlet waters on a variety of live and artificial baits.

C’mon and jump aboard for some fantastic fall fishing!!

This week we found ourselves battling through weather that limited our access to all but the protected waters of the back bay until weeks end.

Feisty weather has stirred our inlet into a mess but fortunately there has been enough in the safe confines of the bay to allow for continued catching on light tackle . Weakfish have been the main event but a mix of other species joining the line for the “all you can eat shrimp buffet”have included fluke and blues.

Things are shaping up for yet another fantastic fall season along our beaches! The live bait pen is fully stocked and the rods and reels are ready to go for some the most exciting fishing found anywhere!!

Wishing everyone fair winds and calm seas,

Got off the beach today to find the Albies beating the surface of the ocean into a froth providing excellent inshore sight casting opportunities for light tackle enthusiast aboard the Reel Fantasea to not only score an Inshore Atlantic Slam [ Albie, bluefish, striper] but also a Inshore Atlantic Grand Slam [ Albie, bonito, bluefish and striper] before trips end.

Things are shaping up nicely for an exciting Fall fishery ! Come jump aboard the Reel Fantasea for some rod bending, drag screaming fun!!

Interesting week of light tackle fishing with the back bay still producing weak ranging in sizes well above the minimum  of 13″ with most of the fish continuing to be around 15-18″.  Snapper blues, fluke and seabass are also present and cooperative while employing grass shrimp for both chum and bait.

The Fall’s first Barnegat Bay Grand Slam was scored on the Reel Fantasea by Tony Stanzino catching and scoring weakfish, fluke, bluefish and a striper all on Friday’s 4 hour afternoon outing!

False albacore , Spanish Mackerel and …… [?] have also taken up residence adding for some exciting visual sight casting while employing light spinning tackle! These fish are lightening fast and scream line faster than any fish around the inshore waters! These keen eyed speedsters are challenging and at times frustrating as a combination of presentation , lure selection and retrieve are needed for success.

I have Friday morning and afternoon available for either private or open boat for Friday October 6th.

Wishing everyone fair winds and calm seas,
