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.
Sincerely,
Capt Bill
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.
2025 43rd running of the Sandy Hook Bay Anglers Fluke Tournament is in the books! Thank you to all who participated and fished hard all weekend. It was great seeing everyone at the Captains meeting and the results of the final weigh ins. Looking forward to our next year`s tournament.
A huge thank you to each and every one of our sponsors for their generosity in helping make this event what it is.
Day 1 results of the 43rd Annual SHBA Fluke Tournament. Congrats to those who weighed in today. Looking forward to another day on the Water tomorrow. Tight Lines!
Got out alone yesterday for the morning outgoing tide. Not a bad day…not a lot of fish caught overall but got my limit and headed back to the dock early
Best personal day so far…..
Our 43rd Annual Fluke Tourney is Almost Here!

This Tournament is going to be one of our best. Our generous sponsors have stepped up yet again with so many excellent door prizes! Samples from FishBites will be on hand for all entrants. Other local tackle manufacturers also stepped up to provide some great stuff. You must be in attendance for the Captains meeting to win any of the door prizes.

SHBA supporting our Veterans.
This year, we will have prize package Raffle to assist in raising funds for our annual Veterans Spring Fishing trip! This is such a great way to give back to those who served in the military. This is a huge Thank You to those who are veterans and current active duty. This past May, a number of fish were caught.
Not everyone went home with dinner, but the smiles and laughs that were had by all those aboard the Dark Horse lasted much longer than a fish dinner! Everyone aboard had a great relaxing day on the water. Check out our website and Instagram feed for the awesome pics. Donations are accepted. We are a 501c3 organization.
