FRESH BUNKER SOLD OUT (more anticipated to arrive this afternoon).
Yes, SURF CLAMS, LIVE GREEN CRABS and LIVE EELS along with BUNKER or CLAM CHUM are all in stock.

Alex King (14 years old) of Cherry Hill weighed in a 15-lb 3-oz Striper that he caught late this morning. The Striper was caught while fishing the North-end in the surf of Barnegat Light using bunker.

Striped Bass ranging from 15-lbs to 25-lbs are being caught at various spots all along Long Beach Island using clam or bunker for bait. However, most of the weigh-ins for the derby are coming in from Holgate. (Holgate is the South-end of LBI)

Capt. Stew of the "Pez Machine" texted us a message, "All the bass and blues you want off Harvey Cedars! It's cold and blowing but the fish are stacked up about a mile off the beach. Both jigging and trolling are producing. So far the biggest fish is 41-inches and that was caught on a jig." Picture of Pez Machine Depthfinder.

Date: Nov 24, 2010 9:34 AM Subject: Open Boat Stripers, West Wind!!

We have been out every day catching stripers in the bay on live spots and in the ocean, jigging and trolling. The fish are mostly 26 to 36-inches with a good ratio of keepers. The water temp is holding strong at 51 degrees and the big gator bluefish are still with us! Many of these fish are weighing in the high teens. Both species are gorged with sandeels and it looks good for a nice Fall/Winter run. We're going to sail well into December for bass, maybe until Christmas as long as the weather holds up.

We are going into a west wind pattern through the weekend. That will make for a flat ocean and excellent fishing. We will be running open boat Friday, Sunday, and Monday 6 AM to 2 PM. Running up the beach looking for birds and readings to jig on. I always have the trolling rods on board if they are needed, some days trolling is the way to put a few fish in the boat, but I always leave it up to the charter. The cost is $175 per person and I limit the boat to three people. I will sail with just one.

Here's a few pics from the last few days: (Pictures still need to be uploaded!)
- Danny Gorman and Max DeGennaro, Little League pals and residents of Barnegat, NJ with a few keepers they livelined on spots in the inlet Saturday. The diamond jig is in Danny's fish just to provide a handle for the pic.
- Ed Reilly of Bridgewater with one of 12 bass he caught by himself on Monday.
