Debby did wonders for the fluke fishing over the past week as the tropical system put some favorable winds and warmer ocean temperatures in the queue. The fluke have responded, whether it pushed a new body of fish in or rejuvenated the feed, but the bite has been on in the ocean. Bayside locations are still showing tons of shorts with very few keepers being landed, especially in Barnegat and Great Bay. Areas closer to the inlet started to produce better numbers of keeper fluke. Tog fishing continued its pace with lots of fish being caught along most rocky or bridge locations. The nearshore bluefin bite is on with many boats hooking up on bluefin from jigging to plugs. Offshore canyon fishing had another stellar week with yellowfin and tilefish being landed. August is shaping up to be a much better month than July!

Imagine paddling out on the water in your canoe and coming across a moose at eye level. That’s exactly what occurred to this New Hampshire man when a giant moose went wading into the river, standing in water up to its chest yet remaining almost as tall as the man in his little boat.

Sailing out of West Ocean City, Captain Monty Hawkins of Morning Star Fishing reported some decent sea bass fishing after the passing of Tropical Storm Debby late last week. The captain said the bite left much to be desired, but overall, it was a good day considering they had a boat full of youth anglers under the age of 12. After dropping some reef pyramids they found a patch of flotsam that was loaded with small mahi and some “buoy jacks”—which are typically a mix of lesser amberjacks and banded rudderfish. Once on the sea bass grounds, they had a slow pick of keepers and plenty of shorts both on butterfly jigs and baited hooks. One of the adults on the trip managed to claim the high hook and even won the pool with a 21-inch sea bass. They’ll continue to sail for sea bass and mahi as long as conditions allow, but with Hurricane Ernesto moving up the coast into early next week, some residual storm swells may keep boats at the dock. Give them a call to inquire about upcoming availability.
