On Thursday this week they had by far our worst bottom fishing trip of the year. Hitting a bunch of different pieces today did not do the trick as only a handful of keepers were put in the box. Great weather and great company was enjoyed but that was it. Hopefully your luck changes for next year guys. Capt. Joe LaRosa and Phil Dulane again ran the trip.
Nov. 17 - The Ed Kazar charter from Manhattan took one look at the weather and begged us to take them to the Canyon. We decided against it based on reports from Howard and the boys on the Jamacia and instead hit the rock piles for a great day of Tautog. Blackfish hit the green crabs all day and a nice pick of 50+ blackfish made up the catch. Capt. Joe LaRosa and Phil Dulanie ran the Canyon Runner today.
I guess the guys were happy with our decission as before they left the boat that evening they put deposits down on 2 overnighters for 2005.
Nov. 16 - On Tuesday it was the Dan Black charter's turn from Philadelphia, PA. Capts. Phil Dulanie and Burt Rothenberg again headed up to the rocks off Deal and had a little slower pick of the Tautog up to 8 pounds. A few dozen came over the rails for the 4 man charter and a few guys had there limit of keepers.
Nov. 15 - Captain Phil Dulane and Burt Rothenberg took the Scott Hawthorne charter from Kohler Plumbing out on Monday November 15 and with the opening of the full Blackfish season decided to hit some rough bottom off Deal and Elberon. Green crabs in 40 feet of water was the ticket and 60+ blackfish were boated with 38 keepers for the charter.
