Captain Carl Sheppard of “The Starfish” from the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association had fishing over the past weekend that ranged from great to fair.
On Friday his party caught bluefish and over 75 catch and release sea bass.
One monster 22.5 incher was caught by the only female angler aboard. On Sunday, only 20 sea bass came over the rail in addition to numerous sharks and sea robins.
Captain Adam Nowalsky of the “Karen Ann II” out of Great Bay Marina also found up and down wreck fishing recently.
Tony Marhan of Long Branch and Mark Zuccarello of Philadelphia each had limit catches of sea bass to 4-pounds. The wrecks have been hit hard and are giving up less fish.
Nowalsky has heard of good fluking in the back bay, but the 18-inch limit makes keepers few and far between.
Captain Frank Camarda of the “Miss Beach Haven” reports finding quality size sea bass in 75-85 feet of water.
Pool winner Sunday was Greg Ivanchik of Holgate with a 3-pound fish.
Captain George Finck of “Sparetime Charters” took friends out and snagged and live lined bunker for a 32-pound beauty.
Captain Bob Gerkens ran his boat the “Hot Tuna” up from Morehead City, NC. On the way he picked up some mahi, false albacore, amber jack, and some yellow fin tuna.
He also picked up some bluefish for mako shark bait later this month. The “Hot Tuna” is now berthed in Beach Haven and ready for action.

Here is this week’s fishing report for the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association.
The attached picture is of Patrick Sounders and Alex Bayer with their catch of big bluefish caught in Great Bay while fishing with Captain Fran Verdi.
Jim Hutchinson Sr.
The Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association reports some decent catches of bluefish and sea bass despite recent bad weather.
Captain Adam Nowalsky of the “Karen Ann” out of Great Bay Marina reports sea bass are moving onto the local wrecks with some jumbos up to 4-pounds being caught.
He has also heard of some large weakies in the back creeks of Great Bay. Captain Fran Verdi on “Fish the Drop Off” had Patrick Souders and Alex Bayer out last week and did well trolling for bluefish in Great Bay.
The best action was on the outgoing tide on blues in the 8-10 pound class. Another trip with Bert Saum, Sean Carey, and Chris Flowers only produced one bluefish along with plenty of dogfish.
Northeast winds and cold rain cooled off the fishing. Additional information on the association can be found at www.fishbeachhaven.com

Glad to see that you are back on your feet again.
I just wanted to give you a report. I fished IBSP this afternoon as it was really nice out. I drove on at A7 and went south to A10 since I saw some birds working there. Problem was that they would push the bait up to the beach and then disburse. I tried plugging them, then I used clams without much luck. No one else around for miles so I decided to head back north cause I could see more birds up there. And my oh my were there birds. Had to be two miles long or maybe more.
There were stripers on the bait(Which I couldn't see). Most of the fish were between 20 and 24 inches. I tried a few different lures to no avail so I switched to clams and bam I had fish after fish. Using a hi/low rig. I had to hold the rod to be able to set the hook on these little fish otherwise they would clean you.
After I caught a few fish some other anglers started to show. Before you know it we had a nice crowd. I was the only one using clams and you really needed to have them to score. The guys with lures did land a few fish but they had to work for them. Me, I would just make a SHORT cast and just hold the rod. In a few minutes I'd have a fish.
SO get out there while you can. I expect these fish to be around as long as there is bait for them to eat.
As for me... I'll be off to NC soon to get the big ones again....... cardshop.
I want to thank you so much card for this report, I was planning on taking a ride tomorrow, but this evening I just started feeling like I might be coming down with a flu of some kind, my tummy is acting up like crazy, I feel nauses, hope it passes, if not I'll be here to post any one's report who may want me to .
Glad you had a fun day . We'll see each other I hope before you head out to N,C if not Have a Merry Christmas and one Happy new year while at NC, Love Guppie & Don.PS,
My members as well as I appreciate your report .
My son and I fished at IBSP today from about 9am to 2pm. We got on at area 7 and ran to area 23 looking for bait. We did find some bait close to shore, but there were no fish on them. We went back to the bathing beaches and plugged, threw metal, and soaked clams and didn't get a bite. didn't see any fish caught at all. There were no birds working that I saw. There were few fishermen and a lot of them were driving around looking for something to happen (including us, for a while). Sorry I don't have better news to report, but we're not putting the gear away yet. I still think it's too early to give up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Best Wishes,
Eric
