Pumpkins and scarecrows decorated the neighborhood, mornings were cooler and peanut bunker and mullet busted Barnegat Bay waters. “This could only mean one thing,” said Capt. Steve from Reel Fantasea Charters in an e-mail. “The best fishing of the year is upon us!” Anglers aboard got into solid, early fall fishing. John Farhy and son Sean landed a dozen striped bass from 26 to 29 inches and limited out, all on live spots. Joe Marisana’s party fought plenty of blues and four stripers, including one keeper, on Bass Kandy Delights, and the fish refused live spots, as strange as that was. Fran Pratt, daughter Kate and son Matt put the skids on five stripers, including two keepers, blues, blackfish, bergals, huge porgies and sea bass. Matt had a career day on stripers, catching more and the bigger ones than he ever had. Capt. Steve also took a solo trip for drop-and-reel sea bassing at a wreck, topped off with a catch of good-sized stripers along ht sod banks on Bass Kandy Delights. Only three dates remain for charters the rest of the year: October 19, 23 and 26. Call to nab them for a private charter or an open-boat trip.
