***Update, Thursday, 3/28:*** Fishing will get underway Monday on the party boat Big Mohawk for the fishing season, Capt. Chris said. That’s opening day of blackfish season, and the trips will steam for blackfish 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily on the ocean aboard.
***Update, Thursday, 3/28:*** The boat was going to be brought to the shipyard this week to be readied for striped bass fishing on the ocean later this spring, Capt. Pete from Parker Pete’s Fishing Charters said. But before the ocean fishing, Parker Pete’s will fish for stripers on Raritan Bay beginning April 15 on another boat. Both types of fishing are booking up, and check Parker Pete’s calendar on the boat’s website for available dates. You can book on the website with a deposit. Remember to include the date you want, whether you want an a.m. or p.m. trip and your name and contact info. Or if you want a Magic Hour Trip, be sure to specify. Those sail from 3:30 to 9:30 p.m. on the ocean, are limited to six people and are by reservation only. Those trips do fill, so book them. These are the trips where you can see trophies 50 pounds and heavier, Pete said. Don’t have enough anglers for charter? Book an individual-reservation spot with a charter who wants more anglers. Join the email blast on Parker Pete’s website to keep informed about fishing aboard.
