Open Boat Stripers

2011-10-31T10:54:00.001-04:00

The forecast is for stiff 20 to 30 knot notheast winds.......and stripers. We are catching them in Barnegat Bay, so the wind doesn't really matter as much. Where we are fishing, there is land on all sides to offer the lee protection that makes it completely fishable. Yesterday (Sun), we had 16 fish from 27 to 32 inches. Five were big enough for the cooler. All of the action was drifting live spots from the inlet all the way back into Oyster Creek and Double Creek channels.

When the ocean finally settles down, we will fish a combination of the bay and ocean in to our trip, but the inside bite is excellent right now. We will be running open boat stripers this upcoming Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, Nov. 3-6. Duration, time of departure, and cost will be determined closer to the dates, so call for info. If the weather allows, I would like to do a mix of the ocean and bay fishing, but, if the wind continues to blow, we will stay in the bay and liveline spots.

Hi Flier -- Open Boat Stripers Sun and Mon

2011-10-20T21:50:00.001-04:00

Awesome stretch of weather coming this weekend. West winds for a flat ocean. Air temps in the 60's, water temps in the low 60's. There have been big schools of bunker between Barnegat and Manasquan Inlets. Both stripers and big gator bluefish balling them up. We are chartered for this Saturday, Oct.22 but will run Open Boat Trips on Sunday, Oct. 23 and Monday, Oct. 24. 6AM to 2PM, $200 per person,

3 person maximum, all fish are shared. We will break the inlet at sunup, make a left, and run along the beach hunting for pods of bunker. I will run as far as it takes. We will also be armed with light spinning rods in case the overdue false albacore show up, we can throw small metals at them. I will be packing the trolling gear in case we want to try bunker spoons or umbrella rigs to put some fish on the ice. If you guys don't want to troll, we won't.

Give me a call instead of emailing me as I will not be in front of the computer, I will be on the water or getting ready for three days of striper fishing.

Thanks,

Hi Flier Open Boat Trip: Sat., October 8

2011-10-05T13:44:00.001-04:00

Tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 6 the NOAA forecast is going to keep us in the bay. We are available for blowfish, and kingfish. The fish have been quality size. We anchor up around the BI and BB Buoys and chum for them. We use ultra-lite 6 pound outfits and when the kings hit they burn some drag. At the end of the trip, you have a nice ziplock of tasty Barnegat Bay fish. We could possibly combo some striper fishing on this trip. I have live spots and there have been some fish caught in the Inlet. This one is available as a 6 hour charter, not an open boat. $450 for the boat, up to four anglers, $25 a head extra if we bring live spots and striper fish.

Saturday, October 8 looks like the wind and seas flatten out, so we will once again attempt to run off to Barnegat Ridge and/or the Mud Hole. The water has cleaned up to crystal clear in those places, so we will be packing spearing and live bait to target bonita, albacore, and bluefin tuna. Looking to anchor and bait fish more than troll on these trips. This is an open boat trip. Leaving at 6AM, returning around 2 PM. $200 person. Limited to 3 people. All fish are shared.

OPEN BOAT TUNA Tues and Thurs, Aug 2 and 4

2011-08-01T10:12:00.001-04:00

The weather window is there, so we will be running open boat to the 50 mile grounds for bluefin tuna, tomorrow, Tues., Aug. 2 and Thurs., Aug 4. These fish are anywhere from 40 to 100 plus pounds. We'll be fishing bait and jigs primarily. We might mix in a few hours of trolling if it seems like the thing to do, either after the morning bite, or moving from one spot to another. Lots of life in this area we are headed to, the Antlantic Princess, whales, sea turtles, rays, and a decent amount of mahi on the same grounds. We have all of the fishing gear as well as the safety equipment, ie: survival raft, EPIRB.

Limited to 3 passengers. $250 per person. Meet at the dock at 4AM and return around 2 or 3 PM. All fish are shared. We have a permit that allows us to take two of these fish, one between 27 and 47 inches, and one over 47 inches. Best case scenario is catching one in each slot. Reservations are required. If you have never sailed with us before, prepay via PayPal or credit card is required. We have never done this in our 15 years in business, but now a few individuals have made this change in policy a neccesity. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi Flier Report and Open Boat

2011-07-26T11:00:00.001-04:00

We fished Friday, Sunday, and Monday on the Hi Flier with mixed results. Friday, I ran to Barnegat Ridge with two people who signed up for one of our open boat trips. We trolled a handful of bonita, most which were too small to keep and one nice chunky 6 pounder for the cooler, by no means, a good day. Sunday, the weather was perfect, so I decided to run offshore to the Atlantic Princess, 52 miles east out of our Barnegat Inlet. Pretty good life out there, chick birds, fair readings, but we couldn't jig a fish. There was not a good bite, though a few boats did catch one or two, and one guy, Gene Quigley from Shore Catch went 9 for 10! He is very much dialed in to the action out there and has the confidence to go find the fish away from the fleet. By the time we found the new spot, the party was over. We trolled a 25" bluefin on those same grounds and headed back with an empty cooler. Just because we make the run, doesn't mean we're going to catch them, but hopefully, we return to the dock a little wiser for the next trip. On Monday, I had two trips booked, one angler who booked the boat for himself to go jig Barnegat Ridge and then an afternoon inshore trip. The ride out to the Ridge was a little sporty in a 2 to 3 foot tight chop from the east. We anchored up on the North Ridge and started chumming over some very good readings. The next three hours were constant hookups on small to big bonita with thirteen 3 to 5 pounders being boated on spinning tackle. There were a lot of frigate mackerel in the slick and they were also hitting the smaller jigs. They average a pound, so just to see, I rigged up a heavier conventional and live lined one out in the slick and about twenty minutes later I was doing battle with a 50 pound spinner shark that somehow didn't bite me off, so we cut the leader boatside. The highlight of that trip was something that ate his jig and complete spooled his Shimano Stella before I could relieve the tension, I got off the ball and had my hands on the throttle for reverse when the line popped. I am assuming (hoping) it was one of those 10 to 30 pound class bluefin tuna we were recently catching on these same grounds. We also added a nice size spanish mackerel before throttling up for home. I picked up Rich Follmer and his two sons, Rick and Don for the afternoon trip and the good charma kept coming. We fished the north jetty of Barnegat Inlet with some special bait and bailed stripers and blackfish for two and a half hours. We kept our three chunky tog we were allowed and caught and released 22 to 27 (of course) inch stripers , all on 10 pound spinning tackle with no sinkers. Almost always ,two out of three guys were hooked up, and at times, all three, it was on fire. We finished up in the back bay with shedder crabs, but no takers by the BI or the 42 buoys yet.

We will be running open boat trips as follows: Friday, July 29, 2 PM to 7 PM and Saturday, July 30, 3PM to 8PM for the stripers and blackfish at the inlet. $130 per person, with a three person max.

Sat, July 30 and Sunday, July 31 we will be running open boat Barnegat Ridge 5AM to 1 PM for bonita. These trips have also been producing bluefin tuna and mahi mahi, but not every trip. I like to tell people to expect bonita and if we catch tuna or dolphin, it's a bonus. The cost is $200 per person, all fish are shared, reservations are required. We have started chumming these fish, so there is a good chance we will be trolling and chumming, depending on what conditions dictate.

Room for one tomorrow, Sun. July 24 Open Boat Bonita/Bluefin

2011-07-23T11:46:00.001-04:00

The forecast looks very favorable for offshore fishing the next couple of days. Light winds, calm seas, and any storm activity is predicted for afternoons beyond our return to the dock

Two people have signed on for tomorrow's(Sun 7/24) open boat trip in search of bonita and bluefin. We will be fishing Barnegat Ridge. After a good four day run of bluefin there, yesterday, Friday,we found bonita there, but no tuna. They were mixed in size from too small to keep, up to a 6 pounder. I am packing fresh spearing on board, as well, so if we read them, or get into a good trolling bite in a specific area, we can try chumming for any of the tuna family and catching them on even lighter tackle with bait.

On Monday(7/25), I have one person signed up for what is going to be a bait fishing trip with little trolling on the same grounds, Barnegat Ridge. We might troll while we look for a spot to anchor, but then we are going to chum spearing, fish bait, and jig with light tackle for bonita, mahi, and bluefin. The emphasis on this trip is bait and jigs for those who prefer. There is room for two more on this trip.

It is possible that we will push further east if the Ridge does not produce, but the weather and sea condition will dictate how far. Range is not an issue, the boat can run for a day and a half with the built in fuel and burning fuel is never a concern when it comes to putting fish in the boat. We carry a survival raft and EPIRB to insure our safe return.

Limited to three passengers, these trips are $200 per person. Departing at 5AM and returning at 1 PM each day. All fish are shared among the paasengers. Reservations are required.

Hi Flier Bonita-Fluke-Tog-Blowfish....and More!

2011-07-13T10:14:00.001-04:00

We are catching a lot of fluke in Barnegat Bay, mostly shorts, but enough 18 to 21 inch fish to keep it interesting. Most of the action has been between the BI and BB Buoys in 8 to 12 feet of water. We are using 10 pound spinning tackle, 3/8 oz. jigheads tipped with 3" white or chartreuse Gulp! Swimming Mullet or Swimming Minnows. Drifting and vertical jigging on the days with good wind, otherwise we are power-drifting with all the rods out behind the boat while I bump the boat in and out of gear, maintaining about 1 to 1.5 mph on the GPS and just keeping the lures in on-and-off contact with the bottom. When that slows up we have been picking some fish on the channel edges throughout Oyster Creek Channel all the way to the Inlet, where you get a good tide drift most of the time regardless of the wind.

I am packing the chum pot, clam logs, squid, and winter flounder rigs to target the blowfish invasion that is currently on in the backwaters of Barnegat Bay. We are even snagging some on our jigs intended for fluke. Blackfish become fair game this Saturday, though, only one per man, we will do our best to lite tackle a few right from the Inlet jetty on slack water, to sweeten the cooler a little bit.

I have not been out to Barnegat Ridge in a week and a half, so I will be looking to run there in search of bonita and other bluewater fish. The forecast, so far, for Fri-Sat-Sun is for a 5 to 10 knot wind, which makes offshore fishing for us a strong possibility. If the ocean is flat and the Ridge doesn't produce, we will push further out as conditions dictate, possibly even in range of some bluefin tuna.

So there you have it, the typical July transitional schedule, we will be running Bonita-Fluke-Tog-Blowfish combos. The boat will be running open every day Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, July 15 to 18, 5:30 AM to 1:30 PM for the offshore species and anything else you guys want to combine. Sailing again each day from 2PM to 7PM for fluke and the mixed bag. We limit the boat to 3 passengers, the 8 hour offshore trips are $200 per person. The 5 hour afternoon trips are $130 per person. All fish on all trips are shared among the passengers. The boat is also available for private charters on any of these days.

Hi Flier Open Boat Bonita and Striper Trips thru July 4

2011-06-28T15:16:00.001-04:00

The weather and sea condition looks great for a good stretch coming up right through the holiday weekend. Our plan is to make a left turn out of Barnegat Inlet each morning in hopes of finding the last of the big stripers feeding on bunker pods. Depending on our success with that, we can stay with it, or head east to Barnegat Ridge, and beyond, in search of bonita, albacore, or bluefin tuna. This is mostly hi-speed trolling with a potential to jig if we find good readings.

The Hi Flier will be running open boat trips every day starting Thursday, June 30, 5AM to 1PM, then 2PM to 7PM. Friday, July 1, 5AM to 11 AM and Noon to 6PM. Sat, July 2, 11AM to 5PM. Sun, July 3, 5AM to 1 PM. Monday, July 4, 5AM to 1PM.

8 hour trips $200 per, 6 hour trips $150 per, 5 hour trips $135 per. All fish are shared. Three person maximum. Reservations required.

Hi Flier---Open Boat Stripers!

2011-06-17T11:55:00.000-04:00

The bunker and big stripers are still here. The water temp out front has hit 65 and the action should be slowing down.....but nobody told the bass. The surface action in the morning and late afternoon is very good. All the fish are 25 to 35 pound average. Surface action is very common with a few hundred bunker fleeing the gape of a huge striper all at once, it has enough volume to hear 50 yards away. Of course, there is no guarantee this will be all the time, but it's been happening a lot. More often than not. Somedays, you just drift through a few acres of loosely flipping bunker and casually pick at the big stripers. Not too awful, either. Trolling seems to be producing more thresher sharks this week than stripers......I know of three caught on bunker spoons in the last week alone.

We have been catching all of our fish between Barnegat Inlet and the Seaside Piers, but we will run further if the day calls for it. 20 to 60 feet of water is now the spread of bait and fish, so every day, you have to key in on the depth.

I have open boats sailing Saturday (tomorrow) 1PM to 7PM, Sunday (Father's Day) 4:30 AM to 10:30AM sharp as I am sure a lot of people need to be back for obligations on land (me too). Also Monday 1 to 7PM. The cost for these 6 hour trips is $150 per man and I limit the trips to three passengers.

Calling me on my cell is a better shot at getting me, instead of email, as I am on the water more than land.

Hi Flier Fishing Report --Open Boat Dates

2011-06-07T16:44:00.001-04:00

We are experiencing the best season for big striped bass, ever. The fish are mostly in the 30 pound class, with only a few 20 class, and quite a few 40 pounders. The action is all along Island Beach State Park to Manasquan Inlet. Probably north of there, as well, but I haven't run past there. 10 to 25 feet of water has been the best. There's an early morning, late morning, mid-day, and late afternoon bite. That's unheard of in this early season bunker fishery. The early and late bites have always been the norm, but these mid-day blitzes are amazing. All of the action I have had lately has been on live bait that we are snagging. We are livelining, snagging and dropping, and fishing fresh dead baits on the bottom with an egg sinker, and they are all working. Most days you can see and hear the bunker getting 'whooshed' across the surface by big stripers. It's a noise that will haunt you while you try to sleep.

The Hi Flier will be running open boat trips for these fish. Two trips on Friday, June 10, 5AM to 11AM, and then again 1PM to 7PM. Sunday, June 12 we will be running an 8 hour open boat, 5AM to 1PM. Monday, June 13 open boat 6 hour trip 1PM to 7PM. The 6 hour trip is $150 per person and the 8 hour trip is $200 per person. All trips limited to 3 people. All the fish are shared among the group. I will usually sail with only one, but then I'm fishing with you! Call for reservations.

Hi Flier Open Boat Trips Fri, Sat, and Sun

2011-05-31T22:53:00.001-04:00

The Hi Flier will be running open boat for stripers Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 3, 4, and 5. Meet at the dock at 5:30, back by 2PM. We will be running up the beach, looking for schools of bunker to snag and liveline. All the fish have been big, 25 to 40 plus pounds. Some days we will troll bunker spoons to put a few in the box, if the live ones are not producing, but only after a good live bunker effort and if the majority of the guys on the boat want to. I pride myself on fishing how you guys want to, not on how I want to. I"ll always have it all on board, so we have the option. The early look at the marine weather is for good sea conditions and light winds.

We are also running 3pm to 8pm evening trips for topwater blues and jigging fluke in Barnegat Bay Friday thru Monday June 3-6.

Big Stripers Now!!! Open Boat Wed 5-25-11

2011-05-23T09:48:00.001-04:00

If you are looking to catch big stripers, you should go soon. The fishery usually keeps a good head of steam through June, but it is very consistent right now. Every day we have been catching fish between 25 and 40 pounds. Both livelining bunker and trolling Tony Maja bunker spoons have been producing. We are fishing the bunker schools that are spread out along the coast from Harvey Cedars to Mantoloking. Some days we have to run a little further than others, but the best part about the fishing right now, it's not just an early morning bite……it's all day. We are still leaving early every day, just to capitalize on the daybreak shot, but some of the best action has been late morning, afternoon, whenever. That's the part that makes getting out now urgent. That and the size class of the fish, they are mostly 30 pound class.

The weather and sea condition looks great for Wednesday. I am going to run open boat or charter for these trophy bass. 5:30 AM to 2 PM. Running up and down the beach hunting for bunker schools, snagging and livelining. We will have the trolling gear on board as plan B. Some days, it is the way to put fish in the boat, but our goal is to find the bunker and fish bait, as that is the most fun. Three person max. Call me if you want to jump on, as after that, we are booked until Wednesday, June 1.

Here is some video of Tom Teel landing a 38 pound striper on Saturday in 12 feet of water. Thanks to Gregory at Fishermans Headquarters for calling us in on the bite.

Striper Fishing Friday and Saturday Open Boat

2010-12-01T12:18:00.001-05:00

The wind is coming around to the West/Northwest tonight through Saturday. This gale will blow through, the northwest will level things out and the migrating stripers will be on the feed. We will be sailing open boat Friday and Saturday for stripers. Out the Inlet, making a left and running up the beach until we find signs of life like birds and readings. Then we will try diamond jigging or casting plugs if the fish are on the surface. I will have the trolling gear on board in case that is the way to put a few fish in the boat, but only if you guys want to. The fishing was excellent right before the blow and will more than likely improve right after. We meet at 6:30 AM and return around 2:30 PM. The cost is $175 per person, I limit the boat to three. I provide everything and clean the fish for you when we hit the dock. The forecast is for sunny and mid 40's temp on Friday and partly cloudy with mid 40's on Saturday. Not bad for December!

We will not be sailing on this Sunday, Dec. 5 as we will be hosting our 3rd Annual Fishing Flea Market at Park Ave Elementary School, 280 Park Ave., Freehold, NJ 07728 from 9AM to 3PM. The show is sold out with over 90 tables of fishing tackle on display. The last two years has been a mob scene at this show. More info and directions at hiflier.com

Back Bay Stripers on the Hi Flier

2010-11-12T10:12:00.001-05:00

Yesterday (Thurs) was tough. I had four guys on board for a bay striper trip and I could not find a fish for these guys. It sounded tough all over for those that were out and off for Veterans Day. A heavy northeast wind and murky water made for less than ideal conditions to drift the live spots that have been producing so well for the last few months. I went on the hook with some fresh clams for a few hours and that didn't produce any hits either. On the second to last drift we landed a 24" inch fish on a live spot and headed for the dock as it was time for my afternoon trip. I was much more optimistic, as the wind dropped out to about 10 knots and now we were on the outgoing water. We did a hitless drift by the Dike and then headed towards the inlet. As we were pulling up we saw the first rod doubled over on another boat that turned out to be a nice striper. We finally hooked a few fish and then Steve Reel Fantasea called us in on a spot where he just decked a nice fish and that put a nice bass in the box for us, as well.....Thanks Steve! The action definitely improved after the hard wind eased up a little, or maybe it was the outgoing water, or both. I will be running open boat for the next few days designed around that outgoing tide: This afternoon (Fri) Noon to 5 PM. By Sat and Sun, it is possible to catch a good part of that tide in the morning with a 6AM to 11AM trip. The NOAA forecast does not look good for outside ocean fishing with easterly winds and high seas, so we will be in the bay every day livelining bass. These next few days are going to be awesome, I think I might have the where-to-be-when part dialed in pretty good now. We"ll see! Capt. Dave DeGennaroHi Flier Sportfishing732.330.5674hiflier.com

Stripers, Inside and Out

2010-10-25T09:01:00.000-04:00

We have been catching stripers and monster bluefish every day outside along Island Beach. The last few days have been mostly bluefish but there are enough bass in the mix to keep it interesting. We are diamond jigging and trolling in 35 to 60 feet of water. Maja bunker spoons and umbrella rigs are very hot. We are also doing an interactive style of wireline trolling, bucktailing. These are short, 5 1/2' trolling rods armed with wire, a topshot of mono, tied to a bucktail, tipped with pork rind. You hold the rod while we are trolling and jig it with long sweeps of the rod, it is very productive and a train wreck of a hit! The rods are old school fiberglass so even though they look like sawed off broomsticks, they are soft enough to enjoy the fight.

The next few days of forecast looks like a mess but it won't keep us from catching the stripers in Barnegat Bay. We are catching those fish on live spots from Double Creek Channel all the way to the lighthouse. We will also start anchoring and chumming with clams in the channels these next couple of days. I always prefer the high water slack and the first couple of hours of the outgoing for this fishery. I will have live spot and fresh clams on board to try it all. Sure the wind is going to be blowing and it's even got some on and off rain predicted, but the bay will be fine and those are all 10 to 20 pound fish on live bait....what's better than that for sitting out the blow?

By Thurs or Fri, she's coming around to the west and we will be back doing our inside/outside fishing, fishing the bay and ocean. Sailing open boat every day we are not chartered.

Stripers and Blues

2010-10-17T17:58:00.000-04:00

The water dropped to 60 degrees and the stripers are on the feed. Take your pick,
we are livelining, jigging, and trolling stripers and big bluefish every day. This
is the week! The forecast for the entire Mon to Fri span is west/northwest winds.
That means a flat ocean, low boat traffic, and a hot bite. The bass are mostly
10 to 20 pound fish. The blues are 10 to 15 pound gators. Clams, live spots, bunker

spoons, diamond jigs....we're packing it all!

I meant to say that the fishing "isn't" always better in those fleets, not "is".

Hi Flier Fishing Report

2010-09-24T10:20:00.001-04:00

Clbbered the false albacore offshore yesterday. Only had one fare on my open boat, so I got to do battle, as well. We ran to the mud Hole in search of bluefin or mahi but immediately hooked an albie on a squid bar as we were still setting up the spread. I was keeping the RPM's down for the "way back" Islander/Ballyhoo we were dragging for a tuna, so the action was scarce for that hour or so. So, instaed of not catching tuna, we decided to change out the spread to smaller stuff, lighter gear and pick up the speed to 7 knots. All hell broke loose over the same water we were just dragging. Albies and skipjack non-stop. I had fresh spearing on board, so we put them out on the 10 pound spinning rods. You hook them with a small hook through both lips and skip them like a jap feather in the first or second wake and the hits are violent. We're using a small swivel and three feet of 20 pound flourocarbon just to beef up the business end. At the end of the day, there wasn't any bags of loin to unload like when we are on the bonita, but it's hard to beat for sport on light tackle that close to shore. Barnegat Ridge is all lit up with same action and from the Mud hole to the Ridge is "canyon blue" water. 69 to 70 degrees and beautiful.

In the bay we are catching weakfish on live grass shrimp and shedders crabs. Lots of blowfish, some really big ones for the table. The other species in the mix include: burrfish, kingfiish, small blues, sand sharks, porgies, and sea bass, though, those last two are always of juvenille size. Anchoring up on the west side of the bay anywhere between BB Buoy all the way to the 42 Buoy seems to be producing the same. The fleets are bigger here and there, but the action is always best in those fleets. We are getting off to some quiter spots, 7 to 8 feet of water, loading the water with chum logs and fresh clams and the fish are responding quite well.

We are also taking our one per man tog limit off the inlet jetty as well as short stripers and small blues. We can either anchor up and shrimp the bass or throw lures. The bluefish seem to be in the mix every day, as well. Mostly 20 to 26 inch bass with a very occassional keeper, and the blues are 2 to 4 pound fish. All good stuff on the spinning rods.

Saturday and Sunday has potential for Inshore, Offshore, or our Inshore/Offshore combo trips. I will run charter or open boat each day depending on what the first people who call would like to do. Sounds fair.

Hi Flier Sept. Open Boat Trips

2010-09-08T16:26:00.001-04:00

The wind is going to blow hard for the next couple of days, 15 to 20 knot NW, gusting to 25 knots is the forecast for Thurs and Fri. No fishing, right? Wrong.
I am going to run open boat Stripers for the next two days. In a NW,
no matterhow hard it blows, the ocean will be flat calm in close. We are catching
stripers on live grass shrimp at the Barnegat inlet jetty. Most of the fish are
under the legal 28" but we are catching a lot of 22" to 27" fish on 10 pound spinning
rods. We have even taken a few legal ones, though most of the bigger fish run us right
over the rocks and break off the light running line. I do carry heavier tackle
when we grow weary of breakoffs and want to try boating the bigger ones, but then you
don;t enjoy the most common size of fish that are there. We are also catching porgies
and blackfish in the mix. When we are done on the jetty, I am packing extra bait onboard
to hit some of the back bay spots for weakfish, kingfish and blowfish. You don't have to wait

the "blow" out....Go Fishing!

The marine forecast has prohibited my boat from running offshore but word has
it that the Barnegat Ridge has been heavy with false albacore. As soon as this
wind subsides, which looks like the weekend, I will be running charter or open boat to those

grounds as well as the Mud Hole in search of bluefin tuna, mahi, skipjack, and bonita. We will

be ready to troll, jig, chum/chunk, and live bait. We chum fresh spearing whenever we can acquire

the bait. We chunk with sardines if we are on the bluefin, though they love a spearing slick, as well.

OPEN BOAT TRIPS:

Thurs. Sept. 9 6AM to 2PM Live Grass Shrimp Stripers/Back Bay Asst.

Fri. Sept. 10 6AM to 2PM Live Grass Shrimp Stripers/Back Bay Asst.

Sat. Sept 11 ***************BOOKED****************************************

Mon. Sept 13 6AM to 3PM BONITA*ALBACORE*TUNA*MAHI*SKIPJACK

Tues. Sept. 14 6AM to 3PM BONITA*ALBACORE*TUNA*MAHI*SKIPJACK

The cost is the same for all trips. $200 per person and I only need 1 person
to sail. Reservations are required. I limit the open boat to 3 people. If you are

Hi Flier Open Boat-- Barnegat Ridge....and Beyond!

2010-07-21T11:53:00.000-04:00

Finally! NOAA is giving us a good forecast for Thursday and Friday. The proverbial "window" is coming for these two days. West wind, not much velocity, and no thunderstorm activity. The Hi Flier will be setting a course for Barnegat Ridge to troll bonita and any other of their bluewater friends that might be there. Albies, spanish mackeral, mahi. If the ocean is flat and the life is not at the Ridge, then we are heading towards the Mudhole in search of bluefin, bonita, and more. It is going to be two days of plying the inshore offshore waters in search of species that make our 20 class conventionals sing. The boat is fueled up, iced up, and ready to go. Survival raft...check. EPIRB...check. Extra fuel....check.

If you want to join me, I have three spots of availibility each day, Thurs. July 22 and Fri. July 23. I limit the boat to three and me. We meet at the dock, Sun Harbor Marina in Barnegat each day at 5AM and return around 2 PM. I also pick up and drop off by water in Barnegat Light if you happen to be staying on LBI. The cost is $200 per person and I will sail with only one. All fish are shared among the passengers.

Hi Flier Fluke and Tog

2010-07-15T06:32:00.001-04:00

At the time of this report, I'm not liking the NOAA weather forecast for fishing offshore. The Hi Flier will stay in the bay for the next couple of days. Not a bad place to be considering the numbers of fluke we are still jigging in Oyster Creek and Double Creek Channels. These fish are 12 to 22 inches with the majority being throwbacks, but every trip we manage to put a few nice fluke in the cooler. We have been catching these fish on light 10 pound spinning rods. Our go-to bait has been a 3/8 to 1/2 ounce jighead tipped with a white Gulp swimming mullet and second best has been the Gulp new penny shrimp, both in 3 inch size. I stick with the shrimp on my own personal rod, as it seems to produce less, but bigger fish. Now, as a bonus, as of tomorrow, Friday, we can go catch our one blackfish per man, as well. A nice addittion to the Ziplock of fillet at the end of the day. We can catch those fish inside the inlet without going outside. We will be running open boat, twice daily Fri thru Sun, 6AM to 11AM, and Noon to 5PM. Call 732.330.5674 for details. We will begin running off for bonita as soon as the weather forecast cleans up, in the meantime, "Let's go catch some Fluke and Tog!"

Back Bay Fluke Fishing on the Hi Flier. Red Hot Jigging Right Now!

2010-07-09T16:16:00.000-04:00

"I don't fluke." That is what I usually tell everyone that calls for this type of fishing. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not my thing.......usually. I like to jig them with light tackle when they are stacked up in the channels and that is the scene right now. Sure, they are mostly throwbacks, but the action is non-stop with every size class of fish present. At the end of the morning, we had three nice filletable fluke in the cooler, a 21" and a pair of 20" fish. We caught all of them drifting and vertical jigging with 3/8 ounce jigheads tipped with Gulp! We had both 3" white swimming mullet and 3" new penny shrimp on and the nod definitely went to the swimming mullet today. There are a lot of small fish but almost as many 15" to 17" fish for sport and then the occassional 3 pound plus fish for the cooler. The bulk of the action was at the top of Oyster Creek Channel where it converges with Double Creek Channel from the tip of the Dike all the way across to the sedges on the Island Beach side.

I am going to run open boat trips Saturday and Sunday, twice daily 5:30 AM to 10:30 AM and 11AM to 4PM targeting these fish. If the ocean is calm and the majority opts to run offshore to Barnegat Ridge or the reefs for sea bass, I can combo the fluke effort with any other kind of fishing and change the hours or duration of the trip as needed.

The Hi Flier will be sailing open boat or available for charter Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri June 1-4. We will leave early each morning, heading out Barnegat Inlet to cruise the shoreline hunting for schools of bunker to snag and drop on the big stripers that have them balled up. These fish average 20 to 30 pounds with some approaching 40 plus. Finding bunker to snag is our first choice, but I will have the trolling gear and bunker spoons on board in case finding bait is difficult or the pods of bait are not producing fish. There are oppurtunities in the bay as well, including bluefish on topwater lures in shallow water as either a bonus or a Plan C. On the open boat trips, everyone will have a vote on the next plan of attack and I will do my best to keep us pointed in the right direction. Often these big fish hunts result in nothing more than snagging bunker for bait. If you can live with that, this trip is for you. The upside is when we connect, it is usually with multiple big fish. The action is often visual and makes for a trip you won't soon forget. Anglers of every experience level are always welcome and I will help you as much or as little as you like.

Pack a lunch, a camera, and some boots, I've got the rest.

Trips leave at 5AM and return at 1PM (approx)

Hello Everyone.The Hi Flier is back in action! We just mounted a pair of 2010 Suzuki 90 HP Four Stroke outboards on the transom of the Sea Cat. No more breakdown downtime. The finishing touches of controls and electronics are being installed and she will be ready for action by June 1.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on board for:

**Bunker Dunkin' and trolling Bunker Spoons for big Stripers (June into July)

**Stripers on clams in the Bay (June )

**Blues in the Bay on topwater lures (June, July, Aug, Sept)

**Bonita, Albacore and other Tuna-ish species at Barnegat Ridge (July, Aug, Sept, Oct)

** Grass Shrimping and Shedder Crab in Barnegat Bay for Weakfish, Kingfish, Blowfish, and 12 other species to catch on ultra-lite tackle. (July,Aug, Sept, Oct)

**Stripers again in the Fall. On clams in the Bay (Sept, Oct, Nov) or Chasing birds and jigging them on the oceanside (Sept, Oct, Nov)

This is only the menu. The Specials change all the time. We roll with the season and if a particular fishery heats up, that's what we target. That's the advantage of being on the water every day and being in tune with the constantly changing seasons.

You may or may not have heard that the weakfish regulations are down to only 1 fish per angler. That's OK, the last few seasons have not been about the weakfish as much as it has been about variety, and our new target.....Kingfish! We're still shrimping and using shedder crab on our back bay trips because the variety of species is enormous and when you're using 6 and 8 pound ultra lite tackle, it is a blast. The kingfish are awesome fighters, maybe the best in the bay, pound for pound, and at the end of the day, a Ziplock of kingfish fillet is a bonus you won't soon forget, if you're not already familiar with these delicious brawlers. You can also see the following species on these trips: bluefish, fluke, sea bass (juvenille), blackfish(juvenille), blowfish, burrfish (a type of puffer), puppy drum, porgy, sea robin, sand shark, lizardfish, spot, croaker and more. It's not uncommon to go into double digits counting the different species we catch on one of these trips.

Our rates are the same they have been for the last three seasons:

$395 for a 5 Hour Bay Trip or $595 for an 8 Hour Ocean or Bay/Ocean Combo Trip

We will also be running Open Boat Trips EVERY DAY we are not chartered. The cost will vary with the trip and these trips will be announced via email, print ads, and internet fishing sites such as FishingReportsNow.com and FishermansHeadquarters.com. You can also call me on my cell 732.330.5674 or email me to be put on our "short list" of people to call or text whenever we have an opening for a particular trip you desire. Our brochures are going out in the mail very soon. If you are not already on our mailing list and would like to receive one, just reply to this email with your name and mailing address.

The Weakies are Here!!! Hi Flier Fishing Report Sat. August 29

2009-08-29T15:01:00.001-04:00

They're Here!! The weakfish and kingfish have finally invaded Barnegat Bay. The last couple of days we have found them schooled up under birds gorging on peanut bunker on the west side of Barnegat Bay behind Waretown. This is similar to coastal migration fishing in the ocean where we cast lures, like small Fin-S under the birds, let it sink through the bluefish, then slow retrieve it back until a 2 to 5 pound weakie inhales it. That is the early morning shot. After that, we anchor up with shedder crab or grass shrimp and go for the mixed bag with the ultra-lite 6 pound spinning outfits. There have been good size weakies, really big kingfish, 14 to 18 inchers and they are Hell on Wheels! The fight of a kingfish on these light rods will leave your jaw on the ground. Yesterday I had the Scalea family from Cranford, NJ, Anthony, Anthony Jr., and Brendon. We had 11 species including weakfish, kingfish, bluefish, fluke, sea robin, sea bass, blackfish(don't ask me what he was doing in the back bay), sand shark, blowfish, porcupine puffer (burrfish), and a porgy.

The bay is all lit up and it should be a great September. We"ll be fishing every day so pick a date and give me a call.

Look, I know, enough with the bonita, already......I can't help it. They are a blast. They hit violently, they fight great on light tackle, and they're delicious. The Ridge is hot and heavy with bonita and spanish mackeral right now. We are high speed trolling them with a six rod spread of conventional and spinning tackle.

I was able to move a bay trip I had scheduled to the afternoon tomorrow to make an early out Ridge trip possible. I already have one spot filled and we have room for two more people. It's already a "go" with just the one guy and me as I feel it is my civic duty to keep protecting our coast from the onslaught of these toothy denizens.

We leave at 5AM and return at 11:30 AM. The cost is $165 per person. Just bring your food and drinks, I have everything else.

2009-08-10T18:15:00.001-04:00

We hit 'em hard at Barnegat Ridge! We caught a mess of bonita and good size spanish mackeral on the hi-speed troll. They hit feathers, cedar plugs, daisy chains, all surface attacks, even the spanish mackeral.Multiple hook-up were the rule with two and three rods getting nailed at the same time. We also put out some spinning rods to keep it sporty. Both of these species are some of the best loin you can eat.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 11, I am running open boat for more of the same. The cost is $195 per person and I will take a maximum of three people. We leave at 6AM and return at 2PM. The boat is already booked for the afternoon on Wednesday for weakfish, so the morning is available for either a quick Barnegat Ridge trip or a morning weakfish trip. I will also run open boat Thursday, August 13, and Friday, August 14 to Barnegat Ridge as the weather is supposed to be for calm seas all week.

It is time to troll Barnegat Ridge. That area has clean 68 degree water and is loaded with bait, including sandeels.

Albacore or small bluefin would be a bonus. We're back at the dock by 2PM, sometimes a little later. I take three people maximum.

Hi Flier Open Boat--Shrimping, Fluking, and Topwater Blues

2009-07-07T15:57:00.001-04:00

I have one spot available tomorrow, Wed. July 8, for an interesting ocean/bay combo. We are going to start out chumming with live grass shrimp into the Inlet jetty for stripers. Depending on the co-operation of the fish we will be heading into the bay for some fluke fishing in shallow water where we have been doing quite well with action, but struggling to put keepers in the cooler, though we have had some 19 to 21 inch fish.. Lastly , we will cast topwater lures in three feet of water for the 1 to 3 pound bluefish that live there. The forecast is mint for our ocean effort, a light northwest is forecasted. The trip tomorrow is from 5:30 AM to 10:30 AM, though I usually run overtime at no addittional expense. The cost is $135 per person. I will also be running the same trips on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, July 9-11, leaving and returning about a half hour later each day, if anyone would like to reserve a spot or charter the boat. We take a maximum of three on our open boat trips. If the ocean shrimping is not successful tomorrow, we might try shrimping in the bay for weakfish and more on the Thursday, Friday, Saturday trips. Either way, it is a good three sided plan for what should be an interesting couple of days of fishing. Call me on my cell to reserve a spot.

Barnegat Bay Fluke and Blues--Open Boat thru 4th of July Weekend--Sat-Sun-Mon

2009-07-03T11:28:00.001-04:00

We're catching fish. Fluke and bluefish in very shallow water behind mainland Barnegat. All the action is in 3 to 6 feet of water. Both of these species are gorging themselves on the sand shrimp that live on these flats. The evidence is in the shrimp they spit up when we are unhooking them and in the bellies of the ones we keep and clean. We are catching mostly sublegal fluke, 14 to 17 inches, 18 is a keeper, but there are some 18 to 21 inch fish mixed in. It's a lot of action and a sporty way to catch fluke, vertical jigging in shallow water with a 3/8 ounce jighead tipped with a 3 inch chartreuse Gulp minnow. We are jigging them on light spinning tackle and even though it is a struggle to put a few big ones in the cooler, it is action and the quest for keepers keeps you sharp on your jigging. Almost on those same grounds, just a foot or two shallower we are catching one to three pound bluefish on surface lures. You get to see them crash the lure. These smaller blues are good table fare as well, a lot different than their bigger kin, these cut close to white at the fillet table.

That's what we got. I am going to be running charter or open boat for the next three days: Saturday, July 4, Sunday, July 5, and Monday, July 6 from 6AM to 11AM. I will take up to three people on the open boat, and I only need one person to sail. The cost is $135 per person. Everything is provided, just walk on with your rations for the morning.

Hello Everyone,

The boat is going in the water this morning and I am starting to fish immediately. There are already good reports of stripers and blues in the bay. The next six or seven weeks will be all about anchoring up and clamming for 10 to 20 pound stripers. Casting surface lures on light tackle for 2 to 5 pound bluefish, and drifting and casting soft plastic lures for big weakfish. All in the bay.

We will be fishing hard every day so give me a call to pick a date and a time. It's finally here!

Hi Flier Fishing Report Tues. Sept. 16, 2008

2008-09-16T09:31:00.001-04:00

I was out Sunday at Barnegat Ridge for the first time in weeks. As we throttled back a mile shy of the North Ridge I started to let the first rod out, a red and white shorty cedar plug and about 20 yards into it, a 10 pound false albacore smoked it and we had our first fish on. The bite had that intensity the whole time we were there. I could rarely get a fourth rod out in the spread before two of the rods were doubled over screaming line. Cedar plugs and jap feathers were the best. We even caught one flatlining a spearing on a spinning rod while waiting for someone to boat a hooked fish. It was awesome fishing. The water at the Ridge is 70.5 degrees and cobalt blue, loaded with bait and fish readings.We finished up in the bay with a few kingfish on shedder crabs.

Yesterday we set out with live grass shrimp and shedder crabs and nailed the weakies, anywhere from just legals to one fish that was 4 � pounds. We also caught needlefish, one small striper, and little blues that have graduated from being called snappers because they are biting through the 20 pound flourocarbon leaders now. We also caught a 23 inch striper out on the inlet jetty.

The weather and sea condition looks good for tomorrow, Wed., Sept. 17, so I am running a short notice open boat Barnegat Ridge trip to go beat up some albies on light tackle. I am going to troll until we hit a good piece of water and then start a spearing slick. The cost is $225 person for two people and if we have three people it drops to $175 person. I will be available all day and night on my cell at 732.330.5674. We leave at 6AM and return around 2 PM..

I am booked for Thursday and Friday, but available this Sat, Sun., Mon., Sept. 20-22. The wind is going to blow early on, but the bay is still fishable and the weakfishing is turning on with all size fish. A huge body of peanut bunker moved into Barnegat Bay and the weakies and small blues are gorging on them, so besides my usual anchor up and chumming, we can now run and gun on surface action while casting Fin-S or Vinner Minners. If the forecast is good for any of these three open days, I will also look to get out to Barnegat Ridge for albies or the Mud Hole for tuna.

Hi Flier Fishing Barnegat Bay and Baja !!

2008-09-03T17:10:00.001-04:00

Want to go fishing? Even though a new tropical storm is born every day, it is not effecting our Barnegat Bay fishery. We are fishing every day for weakfish, kingfish and all the other species that find our live grass shrimp and shedder crabs too delicious to pass up. September is an awesome time to fish in Barnegat Bay as the variety of species is plentiful. We are catching weakies, kingfish, blowfish, porcupine puffers, bluefish, fluke, small stripers, spot, croakers, and porgies. These are only some of the daily visitors to our slicks. Kingfish are the real news this season as they are averaging 12 to 18 inches and are a terror on the 6 pound ultra-lites we are using as well as a bonus to the fillet bag with their snow white meat.The wind can blow 20 to 25 knots and we still have a few sheltered places to fish calm water.
>
>Want to catch Yellowfin Tuna, big Mahi Mahi, Striped Marlin, and Blue Marlin? Oh yeah, and Roosterfish. All in sight of land in flat calm water at Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort on the Sea of Cortez. Fishing with live bait from a 22 foot center console. Piqued your interest? We are leaving for the East Cape of Baja, Mexico on Sept. 24 through Sept. 28. We have 10 people so far and there is still plenty of room. There are two people to a room, two people to a boat, which is a 22 center console panga with a local captain to guide you. It is best to sign up in twos but we do have one angler now looking to join someone else.

Hi Flier Fishing Report--Aug 25, 2008

2008-08-25T11:55:00.000-04:00

The weakfish are on the shrimp! Both morning and afternoon trips are seeing a large quantity of fish with more and more keepers in the mix including some 18 to 24 inch fish. We are using the 6 pound ultra-lites to keep it fun but I paid the price on Thursday afternoon with Don and Mary Rice , who were just married that same morning by the way, as between them they were stripped three times on the light rods by some unknown gamefish in Meyer?s Hole. Stripped, aka spooled, aka dumped, call what it you want, they took all of our line each time, but luckily the line broke each time at the leader swivel rather than the spool, so the fish isn?t swimming around with all of that line attached. I don?t think they were rays because of the style of the fight, there were a series of scorchy runs that circled every side of the boat, instead of the steady pull of a ray. Anyway, Mary finished with a an 18 inch weakie right before we pulled the anchor and we had a bunch more plus a few nice kingfish.

Offshore, the Barnegat Ridge has been void of life so I have been searching a little farther and Friday it paid off for Steve Toeller as we found a 20 foot waterlogged tree all by ourselves that gave up 13 mahi mahi in the 2 to 3 pound class on light spinning rods. I am going to continue to run the Barnegat Ridge as well as Little Italy and the Resor Wreck as these areas have been giving up some nice 20 to 40 pound bluefin on the troll as well as a lot of mahi mahi around this year.

I still have openings this week prior to Labor Day weekend, they are as follows:

Tues. Aug. 26 Noon to 5PM Back Bay Weakfish
Wed. Aug. 27 3PM to 8PM Back Bay Weakfish
Thur. Aug 28 1PM to 6PM Back Bay Weakfish
Fri. Aug. 29 Available all day for 2 weakfish trips or one offshore trip, charter or open boat

Booked solid Sat. Aug. 30 through Tue. Sept. 2

I have a lot of open dates through Sept. And Oct. And the fishing is incredible during those months.

Awesome day of grass shrimping today. I had Frank Palmadessa of Kenilworth on board with his son Eddie and nephew Justin. We bounced around from spot to spot with only a few small weakfish early on. Eventually we set up a slick on the west side of Barnegat Bay where I have been hitting a few bigger fish and they hit us hard. We were floating out our shrimp baits with bobbers in seven feet of water behind mainland Barnegat when a school of 18 to 23 inch weakies found our slick. They were all drag burners and we put seven in the cooler and broke off three others all in an hours time before we ran out of shrimp. We were finding shrimp on the deck and baiting up with scraps and connecting with these big weakies. We also had one short fluke and three nice size kingfish that added to our fillet bag.

2008-07-27T12:06:00.001-04:00

Ahhh, all is right with the world, finally. After weeks of telling people the fishing is not up to speed, everything has turned on. The weakfish are in Barnegat Bay and the bonita are on the Barnegat Ridge. What more could I ask for?

We are catching everything from small spike weakies to 20 inch plus fish on the west side of Barnegat Bay between the 42 Buoy and BB Buoy, Barnegat to Forked River. There are also puppy drum, fluke, and small blues in the mix.

The bonita are on the Barnegat Ridge and we are high speed trolling them right now with feathers and small jet lures. They run about three to five pounds but are high powered speedsters that burn line. They are also delicious to eat and cut just like tuna loin. The Ridge has 72 degree blue-ish water and is loaded with sandeels and rainfish right now. The fishing should get better every day.

I have booked every morning this week from Mon., July 28 to Fri., Aug. 1 but have all of the afternoons open, Noon to 5PM, except for Wed., July 30, which would be 3PM to 8PM.

Sunday, August 3 and Tuesday, August 5, I will be sailing open boat to Barnegat Ridge for bonita, albacore, and anything else that swims in the blue water. The cost is $225 for the first two people and drops to $175 per person if we have three people. The boat leaves at 5AM and returns around 2 PM. Reservations are required.

See you on board,

They have arrived! The weakfish are in Barnegat Bay. Sure, I read that they were here about a week ago, but now I caught them. That is a whole other matter, as I am, and always will be a "show me " guy.

I had Anthony Scalea of Cranford and his two sons, Anthony, Jr. And Brendon on board for what started out as a slow morning and then got increasingly better as we bounced around the west side of Barnegat Bay between Barnegat and Waretown. We had a lot of shorts but managed some keepers including fish of 18 and 19 ½ inches. All the action was on live grass shrimp and the weightless woking line flatline was the most productive. We also released a puppy drum of 16 inches, some small sea bass, and a short fluke.

My shrimping weakfish season is officially on and it only gets better every day from here. The wind is going to keep me in the bay for a few more days but then this relentless south wind is supposed to let up and allow me to run out to Barnegat Ridge for some bluewater fishing as well.
From here on in, I will be either anchored in the bay chumming live grass shrimp for weakies or trolling and/or chumming Barnegat Ridge for bonita, albacore, mahi, and bluefin tuna.

You can pick either of these trips or combine both in the same trip for a fishing marathon that targets a lot of species in one day on the water.

Hi Flier TUNA!!! Cape May Special!!

2008-07-13T13:18:00.001-04:00

Are you ready for some tuna fishing? I am. They are having a wide open bite on bluefin tuna off of Cape May and now some yellowfin tuna just arrived in the mix to make it even more interesting. The bluefins are anywhere from 30 to 150 pounds and the yellowfins are 30 to 70 pounds garden variety. I can?t take it anymore. I am moving the boat to Cape May this week. I am headed to Cape May today to pick out a transient slip. I will keep the boat there from Wednesday, July 16 until at least Thursday, July 24, and possibly longer.

The run to the fishing grounds is 25 to 35 miles depending on the day to day action. The best of the bite has been very early so we will be departing very early each morning from Cape May inlet. The fish are being caught on bait and jigs in 120 feet of water. Either drifting or anchored.
This is as good as it gets: daytime chunking bluefin and yellowfin tuna, leaving in the morning, returning in the afternoon, early evening.

I can take three people each day, whether I charter or run open boat. The price will be the same for either, as I had to factor in moving the boat to Cape May ,the rent for the transient slip as well as the daily fuel, bait, tackle and ice.. The cost for the day will be $750 or $250 per man and we need 3 people to sail each day. If you have fished with me before I can take your word as your reservation, if not, you will need to PayPal your fare in full ahead of time. If you do not have a PayPal account or are not versed in how it works, it enables you to pay with a VISA or Mastercard..

I am initially offering eight days of fishing starting with Thursday, July 17 and fishing every day including Thursday, July 24.

Call me to grab one of these spots on what is probably the most exciting fishing on the coast right now!

Hi Flier Fishing Report--Thurs. June 26, 08]]

2008-06-26T16:19:00.001-04:00

Wow! You had to see it.I had Steve Wallin, his son, Ryan and their friend Carl on board. We left Barnegat Inlet at 5:15 this morning and ran north for 14 miles where we ran into a foaming mess of 20 to 30 pound stripers crashing big schools of bunker off of Lavalette. We boated six and released two in a very short amount of time. The bass were relentlessly crashing the surface and inhaling bunker. We caught all of our fish on sinker rigs with live bunker we just snagged from the pods.

Yesterday, I spent all day snagging bunker and never caught a fish for the two people I had on board. That's how it goes. But today we were armed with the most important part of any business or fishing trip: INFORMATION. They caught them there yesterday and the water to the north is 62 degrees while the temp outside Barnegat Inlet was 58.5.

I picked up my first batch of live grass shrimp from Bobbie's Boats today after our striper effort. We tried three different spots, but did not scare up any action. The water on the west side of the bay is 75 degrees and it should turn on any minute. I am going to continue to shrimp until it does.

I am booked tomorrow (Fri) and Monday, but available this weekend and beyond if anyone wants to hit those bunker pods. The boat leaves at 4:30 AM and we can fish 5 to 8 hours depending on what you would like to do.

Plan B I had Jan Gladstone from East Brunswick, NJ on board today for what was supposed to be a bunker dunking striper trip. We met at the dock at 5AM , fired up the motors and we were on our way. Yup...on our way to a massive fog bank that started right at the inlet and laid heavily up and down the coast as we would learn from the VHF radio listening to those who ventured out. Reports of zero visibility up to 100 feet or less were common. We jogged back and forth in the channels near the inlet to see if the fog would soon blow or burn off, but to no avail. Finally, I suggested we throw some Fin-S for bass, blues, or weaks that might be inside. Our first few drifts in Oyster Creek Channel brought only one bluefish chop. The next stop was the sod banks for the last of the outgoing tide and Jan hooked up right away to what turned out to be a 10 pound weakfish. In the next few drifts he caught two more 8 to 10 pound weakies and a small bluefish. The bite slowed up and after another failed attempt at breaking the inlet, we opted to tie up to Bobbie?s Boats in Barnegat Light and head over to Mustache Bill?s diner for some breakfast. We jumped back in the boat, tried to get outside one more time but the fog was relentless. We stopped at the sod banks for a few more casts of what was now incoming water and Jan bagged another big weakie for a total of four and one blue. We released all but one weakie that didn?t revive and you can see two of the fish in the attached photos.
>
>I still have openings for individuals on Wed June 25 and Fri, June 27 chasing bunker and stripers as well as casting for these big weakies. I am told that live grass shrimp are now available, so we will be starting up our shrimping trips now, as well. It?s possible to do it all in one day. Start out with the stripers at daybreak and move on to the bay in the late morning/early afternoon.

Exciting morning of fishing today. I had Kevin Veal in from the West Coast and his father in law Gene Arico of Green Brook, NJ . We found the schools of bunker right away and started snagging live bait. In a short amount of time we had a double header hookup. The first fish turned out to be a 60 pound dusky shark that amazingly did not bite the snagger off of the 40 pound flourocarbon leader. The second fish turned out to be a 40 1/2 pound striper for Gene. Kevin hooked the next fish and broke it off on an unlucky wrap around the reel handle. Later Gene decked another big bass, 36 pounds. There are plenty of bunker still around and lots of big bass chowing them down. I have trips for Thursday and Friday but the weekend is still open and I have lots of availibility during the week. I have one person who is looking to share the boat and cost for Monday, June 23 in case anyone else is looking, call me.

Hi Flier Fishing Update June 17, 2008

2008-06-17T11:56:00.001-04:00

We're back! Just in time. If you are wondering why I haven?t been sending any new fishing reports, it's because the Hi Flier overheated the port motor last week. The new powerhead and wiring is being completed today. My first trip is Thursday and we will be snagging bunker and targeting the big stripers that have been feeding on them. The bite is red hot right now and with the amount of bunker and the cool ocean water temps in the 50's, there is no telling how long it will hold up. The outlook is excellent. So is the weather window through the weekend. If you check the marine forecast the wind is going to blow 5 to 10 knots out of the west for the next week! That means a flat ocean that is not only comfortable to fish in, but it also makes it easier to spot the bunker pods. If you are looking to connect with some big stripers this could be the best oppurtunity of the season.

***Depending on the level of interest, I am seriously considering moving the Hi Flier to Sea Isle City from June 27 to July 3 to target the school bluefin tuna that just showed up this past weekend. The daily run to the grounds is only 15 to 20 miles from their inlet and they have had consistent fishing for these fish for a number of years in a row now. It is all on the high speed troll with feathers, cedar plugs, and small jet lures on light 20 class tackle. Three people is maximum for these trips and I will consider running open boat if you want to sign on as an individual. The cost for the all day trip is $200 per person if you are on the open boat or $600 to charter the boat exclusively for 1, 2 or 3 people.***

July will be the start of grass shrimping the weakfish in the back bay as well as trolling Barnegat Ridge and beyond for bonita, albacore, mahi, and God willing some bluefin tuna this season.

We fish 7 days a week so call me when you have a date.

See you on board,

We broke the inlet at 5:45 AM and headed north, then south, and then north again looking for schools of bunker.

Hi Flier Fishing Report--Sept. 20

2007-09-20T10:57:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I had Scott Angstadt and friends on board for a great day of weakfishing on Barnegat Bay. We set up shop in Meyer's Hole with a shrimp slick but could not get any takers, other than porgies and sea bass. A few reports were coming over the radio about birds and fish on the west side of the bay so we pulled the anchor and took a ride to investigate. Upon arriving on the scene there were quite a few boats, only a few birds, but the depth recorder was blacking out with bait and fish readings. Over the next couple of hours we bent the rods on 2 to 4 pound weakies by slow retrieving Fin-S baits down deep. Every once in a while there would be a bluefish bite off, but for the most part, it was weakfish.

When drifting and casting slowed down, I went to my small striper spot where we shrimp 15 to 20 inch stripers on the ultra-lites all the time. It did not dissapoint as we preceded to hook up one after another until an invasion of good size weakies joined in the mix. I usually catch just stripers at this secret spot, but we weren't complaining.

Today, Thursday, I am on land, tomorrow I have a charter booked to Barnegat Ridge for some albacore chumming, Saturday, I am booked for Barnegat Bay weakies, but Sunday I have one or possibly two spots available for Barnegat Ridge albacore, as one angler already signed up, but we need at least one more to sail. If not, the boat can be chartered Sunday for back bay weakies. Monday is also available for the Bay or the Ridge and then I'm headed to Baja for some mahi, tuna, and billfish with friends on Wednesday. I will return Sept. 30 and be available for October striper fishing.

I took Jan Gladstone and his friend Dan to Barnegat Ridge South yesterday for a great day of albacore fishing. We arrived at the grounds about 8:30 AM and it took about a half hour to get the first bite. These two guys jigged over 20 albies over the next couple of hours. they were all nice fish, 8 to 10 pounds. I could not get one to eat a hookbait. Every fish came on a Tsunami 4 or 5 inch shad, vertical jigged down about 20 or 30 feet where the readings were. Pink or chartruese were the colors.

As I am putting this report together I just spoke with Rob at Bobbie's Boats in Barnegat Light where I buy my live grass shrimp and he is watching a few guys bail the weakies over in Meyer's Hole.

I am heading to the canyon in a few hours, I will be back tomorrow afternoon. I have an all day charter Wednesday on the Hi Flier for a combined Barnegat Ridge/Shrimping weakies trip. Beyond that I am free. Call me to schedule a trip while the fishing is hot.

Hi Flier Fishing Report--Sept 13

2007-09-15T08:39:00.001-04:00

The back bay shrimping trips in Barnegat Bay are offering a lot more than weakfish these days. Yesterday I had Howard White and Larry Cotton of Trenton on board for a busy day of ultra-lite fishing. In the end we had tangled with ten species including: weakfish, stripers, blues, fluke, sea robin, sea bass, hickory shad, kingfish and porgies. The stripers are not legal size, but rather 16 to 18 inch fish, but they burn some line off of the ultra lites! The weakies are anywhere from 14 to 20 plus inches these days. The blues range from snappers to 1 pound table fish.

There are also blues and weaks under birds or just blind casting the readings in the bay, very similar to coastal migration fishing. There are wall to wall schools of peanut bunker under siege mostly in the early morning hours.

There are false albacore at Barnegat Ridge and I am heading out there tomorrow with two people who signed up for our open boat trip.

I have the following days left for inshore or offshore in Sept: Sunday, Sept. 16, Mon., Sept. 17, Thursday, Sept. 20, Fri. Sept. 21, Sat. Sept. 22, Sunday, Sept.23, and Monday Sept. 24.

2007-09-11T20:14:00.001-04:00

It's not too late to go grass shrimping. While we struggled for a quantity of weakies today, the fish we had were 16 to over 20 inches. The other upside was variety. Anchored on the west side of Barnegat Bay, we had weakies, blues, puppy drum, sea bass, blowfish, and a porcupine puffer. shrimping in September brings all kinds of visitors to the slick. We finished off in another spot of mine with a bunch of 15 to 18 inch stripers that burned line off of our ultra-lites. The bait is trickier to get these days, so call me with some advance notice and I have a better chance at securing the shrimp. The water temps were 75 on the east side of the bay and77 on the west side, so we should have fish for a while.

The albacore are at Barnegat Ridge and whenever the weather allows, I have buckets of spearing I am waiting to throw. I will be running open boat to those grounds whenever I am not booked for the inshore grass shrimping. Call me to book either.

We will be running for Striped Bass in October and November. During those months you can anchor up and chum with clams in the bay or go out in the ocean and fish the coastal migration, or both. We do 5 or 8 hour trips.

Give me a call, let's go fishing. Don't make me go without you, because I will!

Also, I am going on three overnight Canyon tuna trips in case anyone would like to sign up. The reservations are made through the party boat and you can sign on as an individual. The following are the dates of departure and you return approximately 22 hours later:

Monday, Sept. 17 on the Gambler out of Pt. Pleasant
Thurs., Oct. 4 on the Voyager out of Pt. Pleasant
Thurs., Oct. 11 on the Voyager out of Pt. Pleasant

Hi Flier Fishing report--Tues.Aug.7

2007-08-08T14:58:00.001-04:00

There are big weakfish in Meyers Hole! No not big like the May-June
tiderunners, but big for our summer run fish. Most of the fish we are
catching are 15 to 19 inches and over two pounds. They have the kind of
shoulders and girth that make the six and eight pound spinning outfits
scream line against the drag. Today was the third day in the row that we
caught them while chumming with the live grass shrimp. Freelining a
weightless shrimp baited hook is deadly. There are a few snapper blues
mixed in and a ton of hickory shad. The hickory shad reach the point of
infestation in the slick, so you need to fish around them if you can. A 1/4
ounce egg sinker or a real big splitshot two feet away from your baited
hook has been working really well on the bottom. You can also cast and
retrieve soft pastics like Fin-S or BKDs as the weakies are big enough to
attack these offerings but these same lures are a little to large for the
hickory shads taste. We are also having a blast throwing flys and 1/8 ounce
jigheads with chartreuse grubs on the lite spinning rods for both the
weakies and the shad. Tip a shad dart with shrimp and cast and retrieve it
through the slick...its all working! Theyre monstering the lures like they
havent eaten in days! We also had one 19 inch fluke in the mix.

The Hi Flier is sailing twice daily for these weakies during the week , 5
hour trips leaving at 6AM and 11:30AM, and then one trip a day on Saturday
and Sunday, the early departure. The only exception to this will be our
Barnegat Ridge charters or open boat trips which we will announce as they
are available and weather allows.The weakfish and the Barnegat Ridge trips
will continue into October.

Check out the pics, the two weakies and the fluke were all boated at the
same moment and check out how bent the deadstick ultralite is in the
rodholder...it didn't even have bait on it, we were unhooking other fish
and set that rod down in the holder with an 1/8 ounce jighead when another
weakie hammered it!

Hi Flier Fishing Report-July 29

2007-07-29T20:35:00.001-04:00

Hey everybody. Sorry about the lag time between fishing reports but that's how it gets when the weather allows you to go every day, you go every day. After the wind blew my Sunday and Monday trips out of the water, I was able to fish the next five days in a row. On Tuesday, I had Robert Barone of D&R Boats along with Andy Dubman and they combined for 35 bonita hi-speed trolling on Barnegat Ridge. The next day, I returned to the Ridge with Rocco Melchionna of Springfield, his future father-in-law, Tony D'Andrea, of Milburn, and Pete Zickgraf of Kenilworth.. They caught 40 bonita between them and then we found some debris where Rocco got to experience the fury of a 12 pound bull dolphin on spinning tackle. Pete had a Bimini release of a smaller 3 to 4 pound mahi.

I spent Thursday and Friday in Ocean City, Maryland catching a few yellowfin tuna and a bunch of mahi with friends on the Fin Chaser. Saturday I fished the Lacey Elks Tournament with DJ Cameron and we weighed in a few weakfish and bluefish, but did not come in the money.

Tomorrow, Monday I am heading off to Barnegat Ridge with two people, and I have room for a third if anyone is interested. I also am running open boat Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. I already have one reservation for Wednesday. I limit the boat to three people and the cost is $225 for 2 people or $175 each when there is three. I am starting to chum as well as troll now and the 20 to 30 pound bluefin tuna as well as all size mahi mahi are now at Barnegat Ridge. The sea conditions for the next week looks very mild giving us a calm ocean.

Give me a call to get in on this exciting bluewater fishery only 45 minutes and 14 miles from Barnegat Inlet.

Hi Flier Fishing Report-Tue. July 17, 2007

2007-07-18T11:32:00.001-04:00

Barnegat Ridge is on fire with bonita. The water is 71 degrees, the color is blue and the area is loaded with sandeels, the favorite food of all things tuna. I had Blue Collar websites webmaster Don Cameron along with Steve Ondrof of Rockaway, NJ yesterday for three hours of trolling at the Ridge. I was preparing what was going to be a spread of ten rods, two deep planers with Clark spoons, two 50 class outfits with birds and jet lures in case a good size bluefin made his move, four jap feathers of different colors, a cedar plug, and a hot pink mini squid daisy chain. We arrived at the grounds around 8:30 AM as our departure was delayed due to poor visibility in the morning fog. As I was setting out the third rod, the first rod was already bent and screaming. I decided to not put the heavier spoon rods in, enjoying the fish on lighter tackle with the surface lures. We had multiple hook-ups for the next couple of hours and kept 14 of these delicious tuna family speedsters. These fish are averaging 3 to 6 pounds.

These bonita were at the Ridge for the entire summer and through September last year, it looks good for a repeat. With all the sandeels there, it shouldnÃ¢ÂÂ™t be long before the bluefin, albacore and who knows what else might show up. Any given day could see small mahi mahi or king mackerel, too. If youÃ¢ÂÂ™re not up to a canyon run, but would still like to taste some high speed trolling in warm semi-blue water this fishing is a blast.

I am also preparing to tie the boat up in Atlantic City for a few days to get in on their 30 mile range fishing on good size bluefin tuna as well as mahi and bonita.. As soon as the right weather window appears I will be going.....any takers? Put on your big boy pants.

Hi Flier Fishing Report----Thursday, Jul 12 2007 ...Big Stripers]]]]

2007-07-13T07:41:00.001-04:00

I made a left out of Barnegat Inlet this morning and after a slow 10 knot cruise over 16 and a half miles I found an acre of bunker off of Mantoloking. We had a slow start but Al Wallin put the first 22 pound striper in the boat. We made a bunch of drifts through the massive school of bunker and almost every drift resulted in a short pick up and dropped bait or a good runoff that we pulled the trigger on too soon. After a few of missed opportunities we honed our hooksetting, as Steve Wallin and Ray Seckinger helped deck four more bass, another 22, 32, 32 and 33 pounder for a total of five fish.. The action was awesome and we were back at the dock by noon.

Shark Fishing Today on the Hi Flier

2007-06-23T21:54:00.001-04:00

Great day of offshore fishing today. We threw the lines off the boat at 6 AM, loaded for bear for a day of shark fishing, hopefully mako sharks. We spent an hour in the bay catching 2 pound bluefish on light tackle and popping plugs. We iced them up as these are candy bars for sharks. We stopped at Bobbie's, topped off the fuel tanks and set a course for The Star, thirty something miles southeast of Barnegat Inlet. Seven miles out, I throttled down and decided the three to four foot seas, was not something I wanted to start out with in my 21 foot center console. The boat is more than capable of those seas, but what if three to fours become bigger and I am thirty miles out? I headed west and shot into Island Beach to try trolling bunker spoons for stripers or blues. There were plenty of boats but nothing bending the rods. After an hour, we noticed the wind dropped out, so we throttled up for the east and this time flat calm seas paved the way all the way to the Star. Five minutes after the chum basket wasa deployed, I was setting up on a 75 pound class mako that threw the hook after a few jumps. A little while later Mark Marquez from Fishing Reports Now.com subdued a 100 pound class blue shark that we released. We caught some big gator blues that we filleted for hook baits and then Joe Parente of Springfield, and former NJ native Dominick DeFillipe, now of Georgia, tag teamed an hour and a half fight on what turned out to be a 300 pound, 12 foot thresher shark. We cut it loose at the boat and headed for the barn.

2007-06-21T20:22:00.001-04:00

Hello everyone. It is time to start cranking out e-mails because things are getting exciting. Like what? You ask? I was hanging out at the marina today with my two little guys and a parade of boats starting weighing in 120 to 160 pound mako sharks. My one friend had three, including a double header mako, two on at once! You are only allowed to keep one, so they released the other two as well as three blue sharks. Needless to say I am leaving Saturday morning with a crew to go capture one. I still have room on Sunday if anyone wants to fish makos or inshore. On Monday, I am back out in the bluewater as we are shark fishing again.
>
>The other good news is that grass shrimp are now available and I will start shrimping next week. There are 12 to 15 pound gator blues along the beach with some big stripers mixed in, mostly trolling bunker spoons. No news from Barnegat Ridge yet, but I will be passing over that area on my shark trips, so you can bet I will be passing over it at 7 knots with eight lures in the water!
>
>What else? Let's see, if you received a brochure in the mail from us depicting a 25 Grady White, disregard, I sold it and bought yet another cat, a 21 foot Sea Cat center console catamaran with twin Honda 90's. I tried the walkaround cabin and it wasn't me, I'm a center console guy.

We mugged them today in Oyster Creek Channel on the clams. We started the afternoon outside Barnegat Inlet in the ocean. After chasing and snagging bunker in pods the size of a small town we had nothing but one bluefish chop and one bass runoff that squashed and scaled one of our live baits, but nothing in the box. At 3:00, I informed my crew, the Tom Macarro party from Allentown, PA that it was time to anchor up in the bay and try clamming as the tide was flood and ready to start rolling out. Knowing it was not a democracy anyway, they agreed.
>
>It took a half hour to get the first bite, but we proceeded to go six for six with 3 fish between 10 to 12 pounds, a 15 pounder, a 20 pounder, and a 30 pounder for the grand finale. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

2006-10-11T21:20:00.000-04:00

Holy smokes! You had to be there to believe it. I rode as a guest today on my friend Lenny Araneo's boat from my marina and another friend of ours, Art Zoda. Tthe weather was dismal, windy, rainy..as we all concurred at the dock...Striper weather! Lenny gave us hope by telling us of a report from the morning of a guy who had a good striper catch on clams in Oyster Creek, so that was better than anything we had heard since this Fall season started. Good enough, let's go. We took our time, met at the boat at 1:00 in the afternoon and even shucked our clams at the dock, in no particular hurry, as the high water slack was not until 2:30, our preferred time to clam, the outgoing tide. Taking our time, was, perhaps, our only mistake today.
>
>We made our way over to Oyster Creek looking for a good spot to anchor up. Upon arriving, I noticed some small splashes and informed Lenny that it looked like we had some small bluefish breaking water up ahead, which I quickly changed to ..BUNKER! Not thinking too much of it, Lenny dug up some snaggers and suggested we give them a try. We didn't have too much hope as full size bunker is not something we encounter too often inside the bay. It wasn't long after snagging a few live baits that wwe saw the first WOOSH of a splash rip through the same pod of bunkere we were snagging from. Now, with our awareness heightened and our pulses pounding, we started snagging with a purpose, filling the livewell with good swimmers and throwing the wounded in a bucket. Lenny decked the first striper, a 24 pounder then I followed with a 28 pound fish. We lost two others, probaly the same size class and stayed with that pod of bait for almost two hours watching striper after striper crash at the surface until the bass pushed them onto a sandbar with two feet of water that we couldn't navigate anymore, it was just too shallow.
>
>With a great headstart, we headed over to our original destination to anchor up. Twenty minutes into it Lenny had a 14 pound striper, then we caught two more between 8 to 10 pounds and called it a day.
>
>I don't expect this to be a daily occurence, but our striper season is underway, so call me now to book a trip while the forecast is still wet and nasty....Striper weather!
>
>I have a charter tomorrow, but Friday is available. I also have possiblities for the weekend.
>
>Also, I know I have talked at great length with a lot of you, perhaps more than you care to hear, about my pursuit of Yellowfin Tuna and other crazy fish in the Canyons off of NJ. Well that fishery has been insane this Fall! If anyone is interested in going, I'm sailing on the Voyager out of Point Pleasant, NJ leaving at 5 PM on Thursday, Oct 19 and Thursday, Oct. 26. We return approximately 22 hours later, about 3 PM on each Friday. Their wwebsite is www.voyagerfishing.com if you want to check it out.

Hiflier fishing report, Sunday 9/10

2006-09-12T08:11:00.000-04:00

The fishing is good. We're catching bonita and albacore on every visit to the Barnegat Ridge. The albies showed up last week and they are "on the feed!". High speed trolling has been the most productive with multiple hook-ups the exception. The bonita have finally re-appeared after much talk about draggers working them and the storm last week. Catching either species is fun, but catching both is the best as the albies have a weight advantage,they have been averaging about 7 to 10 pounds and can give you a battle that rivals school bluefin tuna. The bonita round out the catch because they are great sport for their size, about 2 to 5 pounders this season, and they taste delicious. Any way you make your tuna loin will work including sashimi. This fishery will continue into November with September and October providing the best action and weather. Any day now we will start catching them by anchoring and chumming as well.

Chumming with live grass shrimp in Barnegat Bay is producing not only weakfish but a multitude of species that September is famous for providing. In the mix are snapper blues, blowfish, sand sharks, porgies, sea bass, kingfish, sea robins, porcupine puffer, hickory shad, fluke, and that was just two trips one day this week. The entire month of September will be a great opportunity to get in on this light tackle trip.

We were fortunate enough to be featured in the Asbury Park Press' Hook, Line & Sinker section on Friday, September 8th. You can check out the article on the mixed bag grass shrimping on their website, www.app.com, click on fishing & boating.

FW: Hi Flier Open Boat for Barnegat Ridge!!

2006-08-15T00:15:00.000-04:00

I have openings on the boat for individuals who want to go bonita and albacore fishing on the Barnegat Ridge this Tuesday, August 8 and this Thursday, August 10. You"ll share the cost of the trip with one or two other anglers. The bonita fishing has been hot on the troll. They are fun to catch on light tackle and delicious to eat. These two trips, I'm going to troll and chum with spearing. Things we might encounter besides bonita are bluefin tuna, albacore, mahi mahi (dolphin), or king mackeral. The weather sounds good for a calm ocean. Call me on my cell to grab a spot. The weakfish are running strong in the bay as well, so depending on the group, we can do some of that, too. As always, I'm going with or without you guys!
