Friday's trips:

Miss Belmar Princess: Private charter for Cisco Systems. Capt. Lenny Forsyth reported fishing 12 miles east of the inlet, near the edge of the Mudhole, picking away at 4-12 lb blues. It was good at times with 4-6 on, catching them with bait and jigs. It was a really nice day, and the weather is looking good for the weekend.

Tropical Adventure: Open-boat trip, filling in for the Miss Belmar Princess, who was privately chartered. Things started out a little slow on our first stop, so we moved the boat to another location, and then the bite was on. We had a steady pick of blues with 4-6 on, weighing 8-12 lbs. We had blues biting on jigs, bunker chunks and sardines. Our pool winner was Mike Lachman with a 14 lb striper.

Starting next week on the Miss Belmar Princess: Weekly trips for false albacore and bonito 6 a.m. to 2:30-3 p.m. every Tuesday. The Tropical Adventure will run the open bluefish trips then. Miss Belmar Princess is sailing for blues 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. daily and 7:30 p.m.-2:30 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. If not, we look forward to seeing you aboard, and hope you have a great time! Have a great weekend! www.MissBelmar.com
