We had at least 15-18 shorts (lost count on the exact number) with 2 keepers on Saturday’s trip but we had less than 2 hours of decent fishing conditions. Most of the day the lines ran sideways, under the boat or up to the bow as we had incoming tide against the strong NW winds […]

Well it finally happened this morning as the chunk bite went off this morning on almost all quality stripers much like last December when we had great chunking trips right up through the holidays. It all started just a few minutes after we set our anchor and continued right up until the wind picked up […]
On today’s chunking trip we had 4 keepers and 5 shorts. Two of the keepers were very nice size stripers with one just over 40 inches and the other almost as big. Most of the shorts were nice fat ones that were just under the legal size limit so they went back. Overall pretty good […]
Found some quality stripers the last few trips on the Hooked Up II trolling the inshore lumps It has been tough fishing the last few days compared to last week when we were catching up to 16 or more stripers per trip with many of them nice size keepers. All have been caught on the […]
Another good trip trolling along the beach front yesterday. We ended up with a total of 16 stripers with 8 decent size keepers up to 25 lbs plus plus some action on slammer blues. This is the second trip in a row that produced steady action on stripers with a few slammer blues mixed in. […]
Up until today all we had caught this fall season had been a couple of 30 lb. class stripers, a few 29 inch ones and a bunch of throwbacks. Overall it had been a very disappointing striper season, especially after how good it was last year but today that all changed. On Thursday’s trip we […]
The last couple of days have produced some great catches fishing up the beach to the north of Cape May. The reports indicate trolling is the ticket to catching large stripers but that could change and jig bite might break wide open over the next few days. We will be chunking around the lower bay […]
We ran another overnight trip back down to the Washington Canyon yesterday where we have been fishing almost all of August and September. We fished a few miles south of where we fished a few days on ago on our last trip and found the tuna more than willing to eat our chunks almost nonstop. […]
Just an absolute fabulous trip where we caught almost all our tuna during the daytime or early am. This is our eighth charter trip in a row that we have caught a Big Eye. We were able to book a last minute overnight canyon charter with a group from Minerva, Ohio. (Youngstown area). One thing […]
The great tuna fishing continues with another Big Eye caught trolling in late afternoon and then 8 for 16 on Yellowfins on the chunk and we left them biting as we had them right under the boat. We even caught a White Marlin in the morning while chunking. We had another very successful trip and […]
