Bobby Noonan of Lake Elsinor, Ca. fished with friends Sunday in the Atlantic Princess area as they trolled not only a bluefin, but also two yellowfins not much over the 27-inch minimum. Capt. Hans Kaspersetz and I hoped to get Noonan and Joe Blaze of Brielle out for tuna yesterday, but the offshore weather forecast wasn't good. We tried fluking in Ambrose Channel instead with Sheri Berri from Baker's Marina on the Bay and had plenty of action with shorts in deep water to the east – but only boated two keepers up to 21 inches. Finishing up with blind fly and plug casting in the bay, I got one shot from a 10-to-12-pound bluefish that hit a little Gags Grabber Mambo Minnow and was released after a good battle on light tackle.
Dave Lilly of Hazlet had been catching lots of keepers in Ambrose, but he too found it loaded with shorts yesterday. Along with his son Jeremy and Al Tumolo they managed only five keepers among dozens of shorts.
It would have been nice to catch some fluke yesterday that were as big as the winter flounder we released last week from Fintastic out of Point Pleasant. While fighting though loads of bergalls to catch some cod, sea bass and a couple of blackfish on a wreck in 130 feet, we brought up fat flounder to 21 inches that had to be returned since they're out of season. Capt. Arthur Stokes and mates Joe Marshall and Mike Cary (who are also skilled anglers) joined in the hot action.
Berkely Striper Club is holding a Fluke & Sea Bass Tournament from Aug. 13 to 21. There are divisions for shore caught fluke, and boat caught fluke and sea bass. The cost is $20 per person per category. Call Paul Haertel at 973 943-8201, or e-mail anglerpmh@aol.com.
