7/20/07: I was out for an afternoon 2 hour fishing trip with father and son team of Tom and James Bucci of Wayne, PA.  They only had 2 hours to fish, so the pressure was on me to get them into some and quick.  We got down to Meyers Hole and it was loaded with agressively feeding 1 lb. blues.  The fish hit everything we threw their way.  Tom and James were amazed at the agressive little fish.  We wound up staying a little while longer, as they just didnt want to leave all of those fish behind.  Capt. John

7/19/07: I was out for fluke today with Tom Chandler of Philidelphia, PA and his family.  We put together a nice catch of keeper fluke to 4.5 LBS.  We were on the artificial reef sites and added some nice seabass on the rough spots as well.  On the way in we found a large school of taylor blues that we had a lot of fun catching and releasing.  They loved the action and plan on coming back soon.


7/10/07: SEAFOOD SCORES WITH A 42 LB BASS!  I was out with Dave of Connecticut and his family.  The fog was thick but we were able to find this nice cow.  It must of been still hungry as it had 3 big bunker and a whole snail in its stomach!  We were 10 miles north of the inlet in 40' of water.  We marked a few fish and some bait and found this nice big one.    It was a long ride home in all the fog, but everyone was glad they were going home with some nice fresh Bass fillets.  Capt. John


7/3/07: I had a half day Striper trip today.  Conditions were tough in the wind, but we still found a nice fish.  I was out with Roberto Weinman of Princeton and Jack Rinkens.  We couldnt find any bunker on the surface with all of the chop, but we marked a lot of bait and fish up along Seaside in 38' of water.  Roberto landed one nice bass at 25 lbs.  It was his first striper ever.  I still have some good dates available for tuna.  Please book your trip early to ensure  your spot.  Capt. John

7/1/07: We went to the Resor Wreck looking for sharks with a great bunch of guys from the Barnegat Fishing Hole website. ( www.BHWEB.com)  Nothing there but green water.  Then we picked up and went to the Glory Hole.  We had a little better water there and had more activity.  We had a small brown shark show up early and a nice size mako at the end of the day, but neither would cooperate.  Capt. John

6/28/07: I was out with Chris Chiappardi and his friends.  We went looking for bluefish and we found them on the Barnegat Ridge North.  Started off a little slow, but once they smelled the chum, they came running!  Fish were big from 10-14 lbs.    After a short time, they had enough fo dinner, so we started releasing the rest.  Everyone had a great day!

6/22/07: We went looking for bass today.  We had to work at it,but we were able to limit out on bass to 22 lbs.  All bass were caught on live bunker or bunker chunks.  There was also a fair amount of big blues mixed in.  Please remember to book your tuna trips now.  Some good dates are still available.  Call now to ensure the best dates.  The Baltimore Canyon was on fire this past week.  Now is the time!!

6/21/07: The Krause charter was out for a day of fluking.  We caught fluke and seabass on the Garden State Reef site and on just fluke on Harvey Cedars Lump.  The lump seemed to hold bigger fluke, as the biggest was 19 1/2".  We caught over 35 fluke with 8 nice keepers.  On the way in we saw a large school of small blues feeding on the surface.  We stop the boat for some catch and release action.

6/19/07: I was out today with Bill Reiner from Marlton and his friends.  We got into some big bass again and the blues were big and hungry.  We caught them on live bunker.  The bass were from 22 to 35 lbs. and the blues were 8-12 lb class.  Everyone had a blast.  Dont forget to book your tuna trips now.  We can get out there in under 2 hours, which leaves you with a lot more time to fish.  

6/17/07: I had to cancel a charter on Thursday due to high seas and wind. But we got out  today and had non stop bluefish action. No bass! But the blues just kept coming aboard. Bluefish were in the 8 - 10 lb. class.


6/9/07: Saturday I was out with my mate, Mark Purpura for a day of fun up off Island Beach State Park in 38 feet of water.  We trolled bunker spoons with great success. We Limited out early with bass up to 35 pounds.  Again, not too many blues getting in the way.       

6/8/07: Fished up by Island Beach State Park.  Limited out with nice size bass in the 25 pound class.  Not too many bluefish to deal with either.

6/3/07: Tough time today with the wind.  We got 2 stripers early in the day on bunker chunks.  After that the bluefish took over once again.  Its not too early to think about tuna.  I have reports of the first ones being caught his past week.  Remember, we can get you there in under two hours!  750 HP!  61 MPH!  More time to fish!  Less riding around!  Good dates still available.

6/2/07: A lot of bluefish today, but we were still able to get a fair catch of stripers up to 22lbs.  Couldnt keep our lines in without the blues attacking!

5/31/07: We Got Stripers!!  Again found the bunker schools right off the Seaside beach.  Put down live bunker and the bass were all over them.  We limited out today with bass up to 20 lbs.  Its was all bass at first until the bluefish started to take over.  Then it was all the bluefish you wanted.  These bass are not going to be here all summer.  The time is now.  Also, I have reports of the first yellowfin tuna and mahi hitting the hudson canyon along with tile fish.  Book now for the best dates for offshore fishing.  Now is also the time for sharks.

5/27/07: Out off the steel pier in Atlantic City this afternoon on our way home we saw huge bunker schools with a whale gorging on them.  We decided to take the long way home, so we trolled bunker spoons.  Got a nice 27 pound bass within the first 5 minutes.  Got 5 more bass all keeper size, but the first one was the largest.  All were let go to grow some more.  What a great weekend!  Capt John

5/26/07: Ran the boat down to Atlantic City for the first time this year.  What a great way to have fun.  Good food and live music.  Everyone had a good time!  Capt. John

5/24/07: Everyone had limit catches of big bass today up to 25 Lbs.  Blues were thick at times too, but we managed to get away from them and get some nice size bass.  Bass were under the blues which were under the bunker schools.  All fish caught on live bunker or bunker chunks.  This is the best fishing I have seen so far this year!  Come and Get em'!!   Capt. John

5/21/07: We were out both Saturday and Sunday. Both days had the same great action, Bunker were easy to find and catch, so we had plenty of live bait.  Big blues around right now, taking bites out of the bunker as soon as it hits the water.  If you want to have fun catching fish, then come fish with us now!  Capt. John

5/17/07: Went outside and found bunker busting on the surface.  Bass and blues mixed again today.  Mostly smaller bass, but limit cathes of keepers were also caught.  There is a lot of fish around.  Dont waste time!  Get here now while the fish are here!!  Capt. John


5/15/07: We were out both Saturday and again Sunday.  Both days showed consistant action.  Bass on clams and blues on anything you put their way.  If you want to catch a lot of fish, then the time is NOW!!!  Some fluke are starting to show as well.  Call me to book a trip you wont forget.  Capt. John

5/5/07: We were out this afternoon and again slaughtered the bluefish.  They were all over!  4 - 6 Lb. fish.  It was all you wanted.  We caught fish on every single cast!  Debbie Rosengarth had a blast as she caught her first ever bluefish.  She couldnt belive the power of these fish.  Come and get them now!!!  Capt. John


5/2/07: The Bass and Blues are here!  Come and get them.  Non stop fishing right inside the inlet.  Old fashion bluefishing!  Throw anything at them and they will grab it.  The Bass are under the blues.
