Get Ready to Fish All Night- Absecon Bay Do It All Night Striper Tournament
12 noon November 13th to 12 noon November 14th


November 6th, The Wind didn't forget to blow, but... The fish didn't forget to bite. I got out early to the inlet this morning with Dick Fedder and his two sons and we did manage to slam fat bass before the wind became completely unbearable. Actually seven keepers up to 18 1/2 pounds and one short caught by yours truly. Finally we figured we had enough beating and we wanted to get somewhere calmer to eat a sandwich. Clam Creek by the Borgata was a good calm place, but our drift thru there brought two more keepers and a short so it was hard to get the sandwich down. we did a little more poking around before just being completely blown away and added a few more shorts to the total. ( keepers and 6 shorts and back to the dock on the windiest day possible tells me that the fishing is as good as it gets.

Yesterdays trip was just as good if not better. Brian Grobelny and Gene Szymkowiak came down from Philly to experience the bite and we got into the inlet early enough to beat the crowds. The bite was hot and the fish were big. We put five in the boat and then when the boat numbers became almost unbearable we shot down the beach looking for the golden trail of bunker. No good on that count so we went into wreck inlet and found our last keeper and a release fish in Little Bay. A short came out of Broad Creek and we released another good one back in the inlet to make sure they were still going to bite on the outgoing.

We left them biting and there were lots of great reports throughout the day. Including Vicky's husband Bob who came out with the big one on the Fishical Therapy four fish limit. Capt. Tony our most irregular of regulars brought in his limit on the clam and even broke the 20 pound barrier for the first time this year. Lots of pictures are up so check them out! Fall Pictures

November 4th, PM after the limit, Dave Morris made a solo run today and it was a great one. The bite was in the inlet and on SPOT. We picked four on the incoming tide then had a slow turn around, but they started biting as the outgoing got to ripping and Dave filled out his bonus card. I don't think the overall bite was as good as yesterday, but we did see fish being caught when we left. We made a couple stops on the way back, but for some reason I haven't found much in the back the last couple days. That should change as we are on this nice weather stretch and have the north west predominating for the rest of the week.

I just got a flash that Mike Brennan and Sonny Conover hit it LARGE in front of the Brigantine Hotel in a school of Bunker with this 44 pound beauty and the 24 pounder came from the inlet right at the top of the tide.
