Fishing Report – Reel Reaction Charters

It’s been quite awhile since I posted a report on FHQ as I just haven’t had much time do to fishing nearly everyday.  Our Facebook page (Reel Reaction Sportfishing) does have up-to-date reports daily, if you “Like” it – you’ll get them.

Fishing has been “on-fire” in the ocean and the bay/inlet for Summer Flounder aka Fluke.  In the ocean, we have been fishing a variety of structure and sometimes with few boaters around to put 5 to 10 keepers per trip in the box.  Most of the action has been on bucktail and big Gulp baits.  In the bay, it’s been more of a live or fresh bait kind of bite.  But we are still boxing 3 to 4 keepers per bay/inlet trips.  The last few trips have been averaging at least one big fish from 5 to 8 pounds.

I have started booking Striped Bass trips for October and November, and we are participating again this year in the NJ Striped Bass Bonus Permit which allows one 24-inch to 27.99in bass per person to be harvested until the tags run out.

I have minimal openings through the end of the Fluke season and if interested, I would highly recommend ocean trips for these.  Since I’m back at school I can run weekdays 230 to 730pm or weekends.

If interested in booking a charter, book our site (reelreactioncharters.com) or call/text 609-290-7709.   As always, we use the highest quality gear and everything is included: gear, tackle, fish-cleaning, and ICE!  It’s “no worries” fishing.  Just come aboard and FISH.

We are in deep!

The flooding on Long Beach Island was a real problem this morning. We had one car swamped out and left in front of the shop. 


Nor’easter!!!

There’s high water, whipping winds and large surf from this serious storm. The gale has blown up the waves currently at 18′ on the Barnegat Light Ocean Buoy. Forecasts expect the seas to build throughout the rest of the day with winds gusting up to 60kts. Let’s hope our beaches hold up to the brutal pounding.
