Slower striped bass (cold water), but better togging inside!!

April 21, 2025 Brett Taylor

Return clients Joe H, Mike H and Rob J on a bay charter. We started trying for striped bass, but could only muster 2 misses at a variety of spots. Switched over to tog for the last 2 hours and the guys worked hard releasing over 25 shorts, while boxing 6 keepers. Bass bite has been dismal to say the least. ~Family, Faith, and Fishing~

Striped bass, some tautog, and seals!

I had afterschool trip with return client Bob Dodds charter and we started with great tidal conditions for striped bass. Water temperatures were a tad cold and slightly dirty, had a few bites on the circle and managed a small schoolie. Last hour, we switched over to tautog on the inside and picked through a few - ended with a few keeps - nothing spectacular, but at least had some action on the skiff. Close to 20 seals yesterday in total - got a pic of 9 of them together! ~Family, Faith, and Fishing~

Slower action - but some striped bass and tog bites around!

We were out for a scout trip, followed by our charter of the season, weather has been "ugh" at best. We managed a few striped bass from 20 to 29 inches on plugs for the scout, while the charter drifted some live bait missing a few fish on the circle. Tog bite was very tough in the bay with some weed and churned up water - managed one keep amongst the shallow water bites. Regardless, still felt great to be back on the water and nice to see some other marine life! ~Family, Faith, and Fishing~

2025 Fishing Season is upon us....

I'm booked for the Edison and Atlantic City boat shows and will be doing seminars on trolling motor tactics due to its high demand.

On the charter front, we have had a very busy offseason as we did a major overhaul and servicing on most of our fishing equipment and tackle. We have incorporated some new tackle management systems to be even more efficient for our clients. Our sea bass, tautog, and ocean fluke trips will also be outfitted with our custom made rods featuring nano-carbon blanks and titanium guides. I used them this past season, and they performed amazingly on tautog up to 10 pounds.

We will be running starting March 1st for back striped bass on the skiff, followed by April tog on the larger, sportcab vessel. See you on the water!!
