We rescheduled our 30 hour overnight trip down to the Washington Canyon on Monday July 14th and this opened up Sunday July 13th for a day chunk, jig and troll trip. We will be offshore fishing Thursday, Friday and Saturday on regular charters so we will know exactly where to go for the best fishing. […]

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. We fished the Wilmington Canyon on our first open boat trip this season yesterday and the fishing was as close to horrible as it could get. Was not much better in any other local canyon except for the Big Eye bite now starting to happen […]
We ran our second offshore trip of the 2014 season and had 20 nice Yellowfin and released another 6 or so. Lots of action for our charter from Kentucky who up to today the biggest fish any of them ever caught was a walleye. They got baptized big time into salt water fishing and after […]
Today was one of the absolute best trips ever, especially for a 15 hour day troll trip early season. The tuna came with eight on at a time and we honestly could have caught 40 and that is not an exaggeration. Just awesome Yellowfin tuna fishing on the Hooked Up II. As amazing as the […]
Over the last 25 years that I have been running offshore trips out of the Cape May, NJ area, I have observed a reluctance by many of our customers to not want to do overnight canyon trips until the fall. Many anglers that fish out of more northern ports have a totally different view on […]
This is just a quick note regarding open boat tuna trips on the Hooked Up II. In the last few days, the only decent tuna bite for Yellowfins and a few Big Eye have come from the more southern canyons. The closer canyons to Cape May which is where most open boat charters are priced […]
There was still some decent drumming last night, especially later in the afternoon into the evening. We caught 5 last night. We marked tons of them at times under the boat so they are still around! Check the open boat forum for some possible open boat trips for Friday and Saturday night late afternoon into […]
We will be offering 12 and 14 hour day Tuna, Wahoo and Mahi-Mahi trips starting in a few weeks on a 35 foot top of the line charter boat for up to 5 anglers maximum. The boat will have the same experienced crew that fishes on the 55 Hooked Up II but at a substantially […]
We have been waiting until our engine work was completed and now we are ready to start our 2014 season. We will be available for both regular charters and make-up trips for small parties-singles between May 25th and June 1 (or longer if the fish are still in the bay) for either drum or stripers […]
We ran up to what I call the mid-bay and started over on the Delaware side but only managed one keeper at this location and then moved over to the NJ side approximately half way through the outgoing tide. We finished the day on the NJ side and ended up with 4 keepers along with […]
