***Update, Thursday, 2/2:*** Anglers aboard bagged blackfish during the weekend’s trips, so the party boat Porgy IV will keep sailing for the tog this Saturday and Sunday, Capt. Paul said. Anglers with limits included John Callahan from Philly, Dick Viancone from Reading and Chris Kobik from Cape May. Vinny Bruno from Matawan won Saturday’s pool, boxing three blackfish to 9 ½ pounds. The Porgy IV is blackfishing 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
No trips ran with Capt. George from the Heavy Hitter, and he heard about no charter boats that sailed, he said. But he’s available for charters, one of the few captains who is this season. Mainly cod fishing is on tap, but blackfish trips are available. George stowed away the Heavy Hitter for the season but has access to another boat he’s chartering this winter. Looking ahead, drum trips are booking up that will begin around May. Dates are also being reserved for early-season striped bass trips. The spring run of stripers in recent years arrived in Delaware Bay in March, earlier than most charter boats are in the waters. But George has been one of the few captains available for the fishing, and will be this year. Call if interested in any of this fishing.
