<b>Perth Amboy</b>

The back of Raritan Bay held good fluke fishing near the 2 and 6 buoys, Capt. Frank from the <b>Vitamin Sea</b> wrote in an e-mail. He and his wife cranked in seven keepers and five times as many throwbacks on a trip around there. Fluke covered the ocean bottom at places like off Sandy Hook’s nude beach, but many were throwbacks. Flynn’s Knoll also harbored fluke. As the season goes on, trips on the Vitamin Sea will fluke fish farther out in the bay, following the fish, along the edges of Reach Channel and mussel beds. By July, fluke trips aboard will push out to the deep waters of Ambrose Channel. The fish follow the channel to the ocean. The year’s largest concentration of big fluke, up to 10 and 12 pounds, gather there and along rough bottom at the Rattlesnake and Shrewsbury Rocks. Anglers have to be patient to nail the big ones, putting time in. Whole squid will be fished in these areas. Bucktails will also be extremely effective, grabbing more bites than bait. Actually, the teaser is the most important part of bucktailing, catching 85 percent of the fish. That’s because the bucktail looks like it’s chasing the teaser, making the fluke attack. But bucktailing becomes costly, when the jigs are hung up and lost in the rough bottom. Like usual on boats, anglers bring their own bucktails on the Vitamin Sea, though some are kept aboard for anglers who want to purchase them. A variety of baits is provided on the Vitamin Sea. Anglers also bring their own Gulp artificial baits to hook on the bucktails and teasers, and different colors work best on different days. Heavier tackle is required to fish Ambrose, because heavier weights are needed in currents.  Braided line holds a tremendous advantage over monofilament in fluke fishing, and Frank recommends 30- to 40-pound braid. He didn’t say why braid is an advantage, but feel seems the reason. It’s fluke time on the Vitamin Sea! Catches are picking up, and the boat fishes from both Perth Amboy and Staten Island on charters and open-boat trips. Telephone about the open trips. From Perth Amboy, join an open trip for only $85, practically a party-boat price on a charter boat, Frank said. The potential to limit out can be far greater on a charter boat with only four to six anglers, he said. That’s because of factors like less competition, or more personal attention, and fewer tangles.  “Makes good sense to me,” he said. Get your dose of Vitamin Sea!

<b>Keyport</b>

Five keeper fluke were tugged in, and throwbacks were released, on Michael Wurch’s trip Sunday morning, mostly off Sandy Hook, with <b>Papa’s Angels Charters</b>, Capt. Joe said. The fishing was tougher, for whatever reason, and the six anglers fished with both bucktails and rigs, with spearing, killies and squid on the hooks. A couple of small bluefish, or maybe two, were landed. Waters were “on the brown side,” Joe said, and seas and the weather were calm, after the storm. Quite a few boats filled waters. Another trip was supposed to fish this morning, and Joe hoped the trip would beat heavy rains forecast for later in the day. Open-boat trips are available 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 to 9 p.m. daily when no charter is booked. Telephone to jump aboard.

<b>Atlantic Highlands</b>

Tropical Storm Andrea kept fluke fishing docked Friday on the party boat <b>Atlantic Star</b>, Capt. Tom said. Saturday was beautiful, and the morning’s trip picked at fluke. The fishing was a little better than on the afternoon’s trip, when conditions weren’t good for the angling. Only a few anglers showed up that day, apparently because of forecasts for worse weather. On Sunday morning’s trip, conditions were crummy at every place fished. Conditions were a little improved on the afternoon’s trip, and throwback fluke were picked in the beginning. So a couple of more areas were fished, and one finally gave up some keepers. All the trips fished Raritan and Sandy Hook bays at usual places like off the Navy Pier and Sandy Hook and at Flynn’s Knoll. Lots of brown water was seen, maybe algae or something, but the cause was unknown. But that seemed only on the surface, and clear water was seen when the boat was turned. No big fluke were hooked, and the better the conditions were, the better the fishing was. Whether bucktails or Spro jigs or any bait would catch best was difficult to say. Sometimes bait was better, and sometimes bucktails or Spros were. Spearing are supplied aboard, and Tom encourages anglers to buy killies or Gulps at a tackle shop on the way to a trip. The harbor’s tackle shop is closed, but sometimes killies or Gulps are effective. A half-pint of killies should last a trip, and for about $6, are worthwhile. Sinkers and a plain fluke rig that works fine, the crew feels, are available aboard. Sometimes anglers fished a bucktail or a Spro where the sinker would go on a rig, and a Gulp, killie or spearing or a combo on the trailer hook. Sometimes that caught well. The Atlantic Star is fishing for fluke 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 6 p.m. daily.

The season’s final daytime striped bass trip sailed Thursday on the party boat <b>Fishermen</b>, Capt. Ron wrote in a report on the boat’s Web site. But nighttime trips will still sail for stripers, and the angling is expected to pick back up. Daytime trips are now fluke fishing, and were expected to begin after forecasts for the storm this past Friday and Saturday. A handful of the faithful, Ron said, showed up for Thursday’s trip, for the last shot at stripers. Some keeper stripers and blues, fluke, sea bass and out-of-season blackfish, released, were managed. Some great catches of stripers were smashed aboard this season, and Chris Zotti won the season-long pool with a 23.6-pounder. No fluke report was posted as of press time today. Speaking of fluke, Ron’s noticed over the years that anglers often bring three or four rods for the fishing. Yet most are light rods for bucktailing or bait fishing. He encourages anglers to bring a medium to heavy stick, in case a trip fishes Ambrose Channel or deep waters with current. On some days, 8 to 10 ounces of lead is needed just to stay close to bottom. When the fishing gets tough, he’d hate to be limited to where a trip could fish, because of tackle. The Fisherman is sailing for fluke 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. Trips are fishing for striped bass 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 3:30 to 9:30 p.m. Sundays. Porgy fishing will be added to the evening trips once porgy season is opened July 1.

<b>Highlands</b>

On some trips, striped bass fishing was good aboard, and on others, it wasn’t, and the fish were there, and the angling was a matter of when they wanted to eat, said Capt. Derek from <b>Fisher Price Charters</b>. When the fishing was slower, trips fought “some blues and stuff,” he said. A trip went 0 for 4 on stripers along the ocean beach Sunday morning on deck. A trip aboard that afternoon fished the same place, tackling eight stripers, including two larger than 40 pounds, and a couple of 30-pounders. Fisher Price will probably sail for stripers through the end of the month. The fish were in, and many were bigger bass, so the fishing was pretty good.  The angling was on the new moon, too, and is expected to improve as the moon waxes. Fluke charters are also available if anglers want. A couple of dates are available for charters on weekdays, and telephone if interested. No open-boat trips are possible this week, because the schedule is full, but open trips sail when possible. Anglers can telephone to be kept informed about the open schedule.

<b>Neptune</b>

Though fishing was rained-out Friday with <b>Last Lady Fishing Charters</b>, the best striped bass fishing in two weeks was clobbered aboard two trips Saturday, Capt. Ralph said. Eleven stripers to 40 pounds were plowed on the morning’s trip, and five stripers to 40 pounds were pasted on the afternoon’s. A sea bass trip Sunday drilled a mess of the fish to 3 and 4 pounds. Space is available for an individual-reservation trip for cod, pollock and hake on June 19, and Ralph expects the fishing to be just as good. An individual-reservation trip Tuesday will probably be moved to Wednesday, because of better weather. The trip will either wreck-fish for sea bass and other catches or striper fish. Originally, the decision was going to be made according to the angling that was best. But both types of fishing now became very good for Last Lady. Book now to ensure a spot for individual-reservation trips for fluke and sea bass that will sail every Tuesday starting June 25. Kids 12 and under will sail free on the fluke and sea bass trips, limited to two per adult host. Charters are available for cod, mako sharks, bottom-fishing, fluke, stripers and bluefish. Fireworks cruises are available for summertime.

<b>Belmar</b>

Despite Tropical Storm Andrea, several reports about good fishing rolled in, Bob from <b>Fisherman’s Den</b> wrote in an e-mail. On Shark River, 11 keeper fluke to a 5-pound 4-ouncer were reeled aboard one of the shop’s rental boats on a trip that Alex and Steve Pirigyi, Jackson, N.J., and Richard Chronewski took. Anglers fishing the river on foot also clocked good catches of fluke. Shark River Inlet also churned up good fluking. Striped bass and bluefish hit better than before. Jesse Deroches, Rockaway, N.Y., boated a 41-pound striper on the ocean off Asbury Park on a livelined bunker. Jeff Leopold, Hatboro, Pa., bagged a 28-pounder that was his first-ever striper. All in all, a good showing, Bob said, considering the weather. “What is it with this weather?” he asked. “We can’t get a break.” <b>***Update, Wednesday, 6/12:***</b> Fluke fishing was good on Shark River on Tuesday, Bob wrote in an e-mail. Shirley Williams, Neptune, bagged four of the summer flounder to a 6-pound 3-ouncer while fishing from the bulkhead. Rental boaters also honked “good fish,” Bob said, to 25 inches on the river. Plus, striper fishing came to life on the ocean off Asbury Park that day. George Stellar, Wall, and Danny Constantino, Belmar, boated a 40-pounder and a 32-pounder, respectively, there on George’s Scrap Man, sailing from Belmar.

Sea bass fishing was really good, drop-and-reel, on the ocean Sunday on the <b>Katie H</b>, Capt. Mike said. The angling lit up for probably 1 to 2 hours, making the day. Earlier, dog sharks were a nuisance at one spot. But the boat was moved to one of the reefs, and the bite kicked in. Striped bass fishing on the ocean was off and on lately, and mornings and evenings seemed to give up the catches. A trip this week will probably striper fish in the evening. A few fluke were angled from the ocean, and if weather “holds up,” Mike said, catches should pick up in the next couple of weeks. Shark trips will begin aboard soon, including competing in the Mako Mania tournament. The Katie H features all the amenities for comfort and speed. Plenty of openings are available for charters, so give a call.

<b>Fin-Ominal Sportfishing</b> fished Saturday and Sunday on the ocean, Capt. Jared said. Saturday’s trip sacked striped bass, not a limit, but a good catch, in 50 feet, and a few sea bass. The trip sailed 2 to 10 p.m., and was postponed a little that day, because of rough weather earlier. Sunday’s trip departed early, and not one fish was hooked until 10:30 a.m. Then fishing suddenly picked up, and 15 or 20 keeper sea bass and a few keeper fluke were reeled in. The anglers, a family charter, decided to return early by 2 p.m. Fin-Ominal will begin to shark fish a lot soon, and water temps were becoming right. Fin-Ominal placed in or won a couple of shark tournaments in recent years, including first place in 2011’s Brett T. Bailey Mako Rodeo, with a 197-pound mako. The 50-foot boat can host small to large groups, up to 23 passengers on cruises and 12 or 13 anglers on fishing trips, for comfort. Cruises can include trips along Shark and Manasquan rivers, the ocean coast, the Manhattan skyline or whatever customers can imagine. In summer, cruises can enjoy weekly fireworks from the ocean. Business or corporate fishing charters and cruises are welcome. Charge the trip to the business card.

Angling was docked a moment because of weather with <b>Parker Pete’s Fishing Charters</b>, but a trip Saturday night boxed striped bass from the ocean, Capt. Pete said. Some big ones around 40 pounds began to bite. Friday to Saturday’s storm affected the ocean’s fishing for sea bass or bottom-fishing, and that was just getting back to normal. Parker Pete’s had scooped up healthy bottom catches previously, covered in previous reports. Fishing aboard Sunday picked at stripers and fluke on the ocean. Stripers generally bit finicky these days, and early mornings and evenings seemed to give them up best. Anglers just had to catch the right time. Sharks began to be around, and the boat will shark fish soon. Tuna will be searched for aboard soon, too.  Charters are fishing, and <a href=" http://www.parkerpetefishing.com/fishing-reports" target="_blank">subscribe to Parker Pete’s e-mailed newsletter</a> to be kept informed about individual-spaces available on charters and for the latest fishing reports.

Bluefishing really turned on Friday night and Saturday on the party boat <b>Golden Eagle</b>, a report on the vessel’s Web site said. Big blues 10 to 14 pounds were pummeled on both trips. The angling was good on Friday night, all on bait. The fishing was outstanding on Saturday, all on jigs. Most customers on the trip limited out, and were tired by 12 noon from fighting the fish. The fishing on Saturday was 10 miles from the angling on Friday night. So a large body of blues seemed to move in because of Friday’s storm. The Golden Eagle is sailing for striped bass and bluefish 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily and for blues 7:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. daily. However, Tuesday’s daytime trip won’t sail, because a charter is booked.

<b>Brielle</b>

A new population of big bluefish moved in, and anglers crushed good catches Sunday on the <b>Big Jamaica</b> on jigs and Krocodile spoons, an e-mail from the vessel said. The fish, chasing bait, could be seen along the surface most of the trip. When the blues swam under the boat, readings were marked from top to bottom in 100 feet. Scott Crosson, Fredericksburg, Va., won the pool with a 15-pound blue. Plenty of blues were seen on Saturday night’s trip, but fishing for them was slow. But with the amount of blues that just pushed in, the angling is expected to be good soon. Dan Signal, Trenton, won the pool with a 16-pound blue. The Big Jamaica is fishing twice daily at 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Boaters ran into good catches of striped bass on the ocean Saturday, mostly on the troll, but also on livelined bunker and popper lures that evening off Sea Girt, said Eric from <b>The Reel Seat</b>. Stripers 40 pounds and a 57-pounder caught were heard about, and a handful of bluefish were in the mix. Stripers were sometimes slugged from the surf on bunker or clam. A few were banked locally, and the fish pushed bunker into the beach here and there at Deal and Long Branch. Then they were socked on large metal or pencil poppers. Fluke from the ocean mostly seemed boated farther north, toward Monmouth Beach and Sandy Hook, close to shore.  Fluking was good on Manasquan River, and stripers were played on the river pretty consistently, around Route 35 Bridge, on small lures like Bombers and Guides Secret Mucho Minnows, and also on rubber shads. Bluefish were around in the river, and no weakfish were reported hooked from the river, but they were before. Sea bass fishing was very good on the ocean, and Axel Carlson Reef seemed to hold them most. The fish were jigged and caught on usual baits like clam and squid. A few reports were heard about sharks landed from the ocean, mostly farther south and offshore. The fishing seemed slower to take off locally than usual, but should kick in soon. Nothing was heard about tuna recently. 

<b>Point Pleasant Beach</b>

With <b>Mushin Sportfishing</b>, a trip steamed offshore Sunday, Capt. Ray wrote in an e-mail. He wasn’t on the trip but heard details from the boat’s owner in a satellite phone call aboard the outing. The angling was great, Ray said, and the trip departed at 3 a.m., heading for Chicken Canyon for shark fishing at first. On arrival, the canyon’s waters were greenish, not good-looking, and bluefish were found. So the trip continued offshore, but waters didn’t look much improved. The boat was headed back to the Chicken. A blue shark was quickly landed. After a lull for two hours, a 180- to 200-pound mako shark was boated. Success! That was what the trip was after. A few reports talked about bluefin tuna in the area, but waters still didn’t look good and were green. So the trip sailed farther offshore to the 100-fathom line, maybe to prospect for yellowfin tuna. On arrival, waters were slick-calm and dead-looking. The decision was made to deep-drop for tilefish, a relatively safe bet. The boat limited out on tiles in less than two hours, and sometimes five were hooked at once. At least four tiles topped 30 pounds apiece, the boat’s owner told Ray. A few yellowfins were boated at the offshore canyons that day. Conditions now were good and becoming great to fish for mako sharks and bluefin tuna. Sea bass fishing was great, and striped bass fishing showed signs of picking back up in past days. Lots of options were available for fishing, and openings are available aboard for all. Contact Mushin to discuss the options or with questions. Mushin means a relaxed state of readiness. The crew pride themselves on sharing the concept on outdoor adventures. 

Thirty sea bass were pounded on the first drop on a trip on the ocean with <b>Andrea’s Toy Charters</b>, a report on Andrea’s Toy’s Web site said Sunday. The charter next took a ride to the Mudhole, and two dozen ling were looted. Shark fishing was tried there, but no winds drifted the boat, so the trip moved back inshore for sea bass, picking a bunch more keepers. Flat seas. Lots of fish. A nice, relaxing day, the report said. Another charter tried for striped bass on the ocean, a report said Thursday on the site. The boat was sailed north at first, after bunker were caught for bait. The anglers scored blow-ups and run-offs, and stripers played with the baits, but none was a taker. The trip changed gears, fishing for sea bass. A mess of keepers were iced. Then the trip tried chunking bunker for stripers, and bluefish attacked. The trip returned south, and a couple of pods of stripers were located. More bunker were snagged for bait and were livelined. The anglers went 0 for 5 on stripers on a drift. At the next pod, the anglers went 4 for 8 on stripers to 40 pounds. One angler caught his personal best, and another caught his first-ever. Charters are fishing for a mix of stripers, bottom-fish and blues, all in one outing. Andrea’s Toy specializes in mixed-bag fishing for greater fun, better chances of hooking up and more variety for dinner. Soon, annual trips, both open-boat and charters, will push to the mid-shore ocean for a mix that can include sharks, bluefin tuna, cod, pollock and more, all in one outing. Telephone if interested.

Waters were beautiful aboard Saturday on the party boat <b>Norma-K III</b>, and seas had calmed, after the storm, Capt. Matt wrote in a report on the vessel’s Web site. But strong currents ran down the beach, drifting the boat quickly, and fluke fishing was tough aboard that day. Currents slowed in the afternoon, and a few fluke were picked then. However, a 7-pound 2-ounce fluke was the pool-winner, and waters warmed a lot since before the storm. That could help fluke fishing, Matt hopes. Bluefishing became much better on Saturday night’s trip than before. Blues 4 to 10 pounds were latched into, and readings looked like “we were going to beat them up, but it was just decent fishing,” Matt said. “Just about everyone went home with some fillets.” The Norma-K III is fishing for fluke on two trips daily 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2 to 6:30 p.m. and for bluefish 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. daily.

<b>Seaside Heights</b>

Tropical storm number one is history, John from <b>The Dock Outfitters</b> wrote Saturday in a report on the shop’s Web site. Westerly winds then were expected to knock down and clean up the surf, so fishing would get back to normal. Slightly higher water temps were expected to be the only difference, so artificials like popper lures, swimming lures and metal were expected to start catching. Striped bass and bluefish gave up a slow pick of catches previously in the surf on clams and cut bait like bunker. Surf anglers and boaters farther north tied into larger stripers before the storm. The hope was that fishing like that would turn on locally. In Barnegat Bay, blues 2 to 4 pounds and blowfish seemed to keep anglers happy.  Crabbers seemed to begin nabbing more keepers than before, and interest in crabbing slowly grew. The Dock Outfitters features bait and tackle, docks to fish and crab from, once the docks are repaired since the hurricane, and boat and jet ski rentals. The end of the month is the target date to complete the docks.

<b>Barnegat Light</b>

Trips were cancelled Friday and Saturday on the <b>Super Chic</b>, because of forecasts for rough weather on the ocean, Capt. Ted said. Weather ended up fishable Saturday, though. A trip was expected to sail for bluefish on the ocean today, and boats that sailed Sunday found some. That was good news, because the angling had been slow locally. The most recent trips aboard, covered in previous reports, bottom-fished, scooping up a healthy mix of sea bass and ling from the ocean.  The 56-foot boat can accommodate up to 25 anglers on inshore trips and 10 on overnight, offshore trips. The vessel sleeps 10 passengers.

“We caught big blues today!” a report on the party boat <b>Miss Barnegat Light</b>’s Web site said about Sunday’s trip aboard. “Game on,” the vessel’s Facebook page said. This was after the fishing had been off to a slow start on trips previously, though the angling was overdue. Most anglers on Sunday’s trip swung in blues, and the pool-winning slammer probably weighed 17 to 18 pounds. Lots of blues were seen swimming, “and some were biting,” the boat’s Web site said. Lots of bait schooled, like before. The Miss Barnegat Light is bluefishing at 8 a.m. daily and at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays. However, the trips won’t sail this Tuesday and Wednesday, because the vessel is chartered.

<b>Mystic Island</b>

Fishing ended up not a total bust Saturday, Chris from <b>Scott’s Bait & Tackle</b> wrote in a report on the shop’s Web site. That was after Tropical Storm Andrea on Friday and early Saturday. On Saturday, summer flounder were sometimes boated from Great Bay, though rains from the storm “did knock it down a little,” he said. Flounder fishing was good at the clam stakes and around marker 126 along the Intracoastal Waterway on the bay. After a storm, look for clearer waters that aren’t stirred up. Blowfish hovered in the bay around Graveling Point. Bluefish ran everywhere in the bay, and were mostly hooked while anglers flounder fished. At Little Egg Inlet, sharks and skates that bit made fishing difficult. Before the storm created rough seas that kept boaters from fishing the ocean, they scored well on sea bass at reefs and wrecks. They also decked flounder there.

<b>Brigantine</b>

One angler hauled in two large drum from the surf Sunday, a report on <b>Riptide Bait & Tackle</b>’s Web site said. He also beached plenty of kingfish, and fishing for kings seemed best in the surf. A few striped bass remained in the surf, but angling for them tailed off. The shop’s owner began to think the spring striper migration was ending. But resident stripers will remain. Those are non-migrating fish that will live in the area through the next months. Might be time “to get into the summer fishing mode,” the report said.

<b>Sea Isle City</b>

The Dean Schultz family beat a bunch of summer flounder to 20 inches on the back bay Sunday aboard, said Capt. Joe Hughes from <b>Jersey Cape Guide Service</b> and <b>Sea Isle Bait & Tackle</b>. The fish were a large variety of sizes, and were hooked on a three-way swivel rig, with a bucktail with a Gulp mullet on bottom and a plain minnow on a red hook on a trailer above. That’s Joe’s usual rig for flounder, and all the trip’s keepers grabbed the bucktail. Plenty of flounder remained in the bay, and seemed yet to move toward inlets, like many eventually will, heading to the cooler ocean as the bay warms. Bluefish and a few weakfish remained in the bay. High tides in evenings, ideal for popper-lure and –fly fishing for striped bass in the bay’s shallow flats, will return next week. The fishing is a specialty for Joe for explosive, visual, surface attacks. The fish can be poppered at other times, but those conditions are ideal, coming around every two weeks. Inshore shark trips should begin toward the end of the month. The fishing is an opportunity to fight a big fish without the long trek offshore. Offshore sharking’s been pretty good. A large thresher shark was weighed at the tackle shop, and some makos were battled. Nothing was heard about tuna lately. Keep up with Joe’s fishing on <a href="http://captainjoehughes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jersey Cape’s blog</a>.

<b>Avalon</b>

With <b>Fins and Feathers Outfitters</b>, a trip Wednesday tried for summer flounder on Delaware Bay, Capt. Jim said. The outing first drifted the boat at Miah Maull, eventually working it down to Brown Shoal, but no flounder bit. Flounder seemed yet to fill the bay this season, though they’d usually arrive by now. Plenty of the flatfish seemed to swim the shallower back bays. Jim’s brother landed six keepers on the back bay near Absecon on a party boat. On Jim’s trip, after no flounder bit, he decided to switch to drum fishing, anchoring first between Brown Shoal and Brandywine. A large drum, probably 70 or 80 pounds, was hooked on the light, 17-pound flounder tackle. The fish was fought a long time to try to land it, and almost could’ve been netted, but finally broke off. The trip moved to Tussy’s Slough and anchored, and this time a 40-pound drum was bagged. A bunch of dog sharks, including a couple of 4- or 5-footers, and skates chomped on the trip. Lots of bait, large pods, kept being seen. Whether the bait was bunker or something else couldn’t be seen, but they busted the water surface. Anglers aboard tried throwing bucktails into the bait. But no fish seemed to forage on the bait, and nothing bit. A charter aboard this Saturday will drum fish on the bay, but also might try flounder fishing. Flounder might turn on any moment in the bay by this time of season. Fins and Feathers fishes Delaware Bay in spring and fall, trailering the boat from Avalon to wherever’s closest to the fishing, like Cape May or Reed’s Beach. In summer, trips fish the ocean from Avalon for everything from flounder to tuna. Fins and Feathers offers a variety of outdoor adventures, including duck and goose hunting. Anglers can even enjoy a combo of striped bass fishing and duck hunting over a series of days when the waterfowl season is open. Fins and Feathers also guides for salmon and steelheads on upstate New York’s Salmon River from Jim’s lodge, and guides fly-fishing for trout on Pennsylvania’s streams, like the Yellow Breeches. 

<b>Cape May</b>

Delaware Bay’s drum fishing was okay, Capt. Mario from the <b>Down Deep</b> said. Sea bassing was good aboard the ocean for the fish to 4 pounds.  Charters are fishing, and sign up for the <a href=" http://www.downdeepsportfishing.com/ddsf/76-2/" target="_blank">Short Notice List</a> on Down Deep’s Web site for dates for open-boat trips, including for drum and for marathon sea bass trips. The season’s first open tuna trips are slated for later this month.
