Report:
The summer flounder season may have ended in New Jersey, but the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are finding good fishing on the inshore wrecks and artificial reefs. Captain Adam Nowalski of the “Karen Ann II” reports he plans to continue bottom fishing through the fall and then get into some good striped bass fishing. Currently he reports the inshore water is a bit dirty but there are still good numbers of spike weakfish mixed in with croakers inshore of 50-feet of water. He advises going into the wrecks in deeper water for a nice mix of sea bass, triggerfish, and small bluefish. Captain John Koegler of the “Pop’s Pride” reports finding good action on the artificial reefs and inshore wrecks. He has been filling his fish box with a mix of big triggerfish, large eels, nice sea bass, and croakers. Captain Frank Camarda on the “Miss Beach Haven” reported good conditions last Saturday resulting in a good catch of triggers, sea bass, and some “dinner plate” sized porgies. Sunday’s current and wind were poor, but the fishing was still good. In addition to a nice catch of blackfish, some keeper sea bass, and porgies, they also picked of some croakers.
