The Charter Fleet at South Jersey Marina continued to "beat the Drum" this week. Many trips were made by several boats and a few of the highlights are noted below:
On Wednesday, Capt. John Sowerby went out with a group on the Hooked Up II and got into them very well. The picture attached was the largest of the catch (63 pounds) and it was released. Another group went with him on an all night venture on Friday and this time they returned to the dock with 9 keepers in the 45-60 pound class and reported several releases.
Capt. Bill Bittmann of the "Top Shelf" went to the Bay on Thrusday and he had 6 keepers. They fished on the incoming afternoon tide for only 6 hours and did very well during that trip. Another satisfied customer went home with bags of fish for several Memorial Weekend dinners.
As the weekend progressed, several fish were brought in but, none as big as the one brought in on Sunday. Mark McPherson of North Cape May went out on the Cape May Lady for a night fishing trip. He is shown on the attached with his daughter and an all-time Marina record-breaking Black Drum at 92.8 pounds.
There are bound to be many more fish like these out there. If interested, just call South Jersey Marina 609-884-3800 and ask for the Charter Coordinator.
