Well….Saturday was a great day on my boat the Avery Lynn. Broke out past Sandy Hook and headed Southeast to the fishing grounds. On the lookout for Striped Bass, we saw the birds working on top of the fish. Set up on a school and went to work. We were quickly rewarded with a couple really feisty overs! One of my personal best…..this one measured over 42 inches. Brit got one a little later about the same length and Dave M was rewarded with one in the high 30s. After chasing birds some more and a few more releases, we went to work on the Sea Bass grounds.
It was a slow start but patience paid off and we were able to catch a nice limit of Sea Bass for the 3 of us. Great to know they didnt run offshore yet!
Had a great Saturday night at the Toad The Wet Sprocket concert! What a show….haven`t seen the band in 20 years…since Coil was released. So happy to have been there. Excellent to hear live in a smaller arena. Vertical Horizon opened with KT Tunstall….3rd row center was amazing.
So had a couple friends out on the Avery Lynn today! Bob W from the club and our friend Dave M….went out sea bass fishing. Had a late start due to a minor mechanical repair to be made. But was better off for it as the seas settled down by the time we got out tonthe grounds. Day started off slowly but fired up as we moved around to find some fish. Dave got a really big triggerfish that went back to fight again another day. 23 nice sea bass and a couple Tog capped the day. The biggest Tog there was 7.14 lbs at 22.5 inches….was longer than my short FishStix. It was my personal best so far.
Had a great 2 days on the ocean this weekend! Did some great Tog fishing releasing a bunch of shorts and keepers with my one keeper each day. Bite was insane.
The Fluke Bite turned hot in the afternoon with some really nice fat fluke coming over the rail. Bob W from the club joined me Sunday and had some angler issues…lol. his best catch nearly got away but they hit the net with amazing coloration as you can see. Next time he`ll get a keeper fluke or 2.
Had a fun Saturday on the water with a couple club members on my boat the Avery Lynn. Bob Warnoch and Anyta headed out for a day of fluke fishing. Hit a bunch of spots and all held life…many short fish and some nice keepers as well. Would have been nice to come back with a full limit..but wasn`t to be. Still a pleasant day non the water with friends of mine that love to fish!
Thanks for following us! I wanted to remind everyone that our August meeting is coming up This Friday, August 8th. If you are even just a little interested, please reach out or come out for the meeting. We would enjoy having anyone come out and chat about fishing, the latest catches and techniques. We`ll also discuss upcoming events and plans for the future.
Come on out!
Thanks for following us and Tight Lines everyone.

Well…got out yesterday on Avery Lynn trying to target some pelagics. Lots of Hammerhead Sharks lurking in the mud hole! Didn`t see much else. Some mahi out there but nothing to make a trip worthwhile. Did some fluking at the Rattlesnake in the afternoon to eound out the day with 3 quality fluke to 23 inches.
So today, at couple members of the Sandy Hook Bay Anglers and friends did a different excursion! We headed out on the Miss Magic sport fishing fleet boat to haul lobster pots and spend some time fluking!
We wound up with a nice haul of fresh lobsters and some fluke and sea bass to go with. A good time was had by all. British Dave won the smallest fish of the day and Josh was the Sea Robin king.
