Once again we took our guests out on the water and once again the results were incredible. We’re talking “Super Porgies.” Okay maybe the Porgy themselves were not superheroes (although if Marvel steals the idea you know where it came from) but our guests caught a lot of them and they were biting hard all […] The post Fishing Report 9-16-24 – Super...

At Marilyn Jean Fishing we don’t take days off and it’s a good thing we didn’t. Porgy fishing on both our day and night trips was legitimately incredible. We’re talking huge porgies with action that seemed like it was non-stop at times and an incredible number of catches with many of our guests reaching their […] The post Labor Day Weekend (9/2/24...

The last three days have been a incredible and that’s been AFTER a week of near equally incredible fishing. On the 12th we hit a full boat limit of porgies AND even hit some bluefish while we were out there.

Nathan caught his first striper and the rest of the crew as well. After they had their striper fill we switched over to fluking where the lack of drift really hurt us. Caught some shorts and head...

Last night was one of the best nights that we’ve had and that’s saying something because it’s been a great year for fishing. We reached many limits and had a LOT of action throughout the night with so many keepers and shorts that essentially *everyone* had an amazing time. It was incredible. Here are some […] The post Fishing Report 8-2 – AMAZING...

Capt Greg had Charlie Bush and family out for a summer combo trip this morning. The crew chose to brave the rain in the morning and glad we did! The sun came out and it became a beautiful day on the water. Striper fishing was a touch off but we caught some and then switched over to fluke. Added some keeper fluke to our box with some short life to k...

It’s been hot but the porgy have not been staying indoors to keep cool. They’ve been out biting. Lots of action with both keepers and shorts with guests taking home a lot of pretty tasty fish that’ll last them several days. It’s been great. You can see a few photos from the outing: This is […]

Capt Greg and Shane had a double today. Left in the dark this morning and were first on the fish breaking under birds with 3-4 on right off the bat. Fish were under the birds swirling for miles. Action slowed once every boat in NJ showed up but still picked away. Biggest fish went approx 40   -- Greg DeMello 201-421-8653

Day 2 in Paradise. Started off with a bang getting 2 nice wahoo. Got on the reef for a drift and got muttons strawberry groupers cudas until the sharks showed up and they were hungry.

This time of year we’re sailing daily exclusively for blackfish so of course when we’re out on the water that’s what we’re trying to find for our guests. The day started out very strong. There was *a lot* of action. Most of them were shorts but there were enough keepers mixed in that a lot […] The post Fishing Report 11-3-25 – Ups Downs and Ups fo...
