May 7, 2013, Stripers are Biting,
Grand Slam Season is Here !

 

It has been a cold windy spring so far and it doesn't seem to want to let up yet.  The water temperature still hasn't crossed the mid-50's so the fish are just making their way in.  Right now I have the boat back in it's Absecon slip and I've made the last couple trips out of here.  Monday April 30 the first legal striper hit the deck on a bunker chunk in Meadow Cut and the bluefish in Great Bay weren't real active in the cold, but they were chomping Chunks and Finger Mullet until we ran out of meat and put about 25 in the box with a couple going over ten pounds. 

 

The best news is that last Tuesday I got in a load of LIVE SPOT that had been overwintered in Virginia.  Unfortunately the wind was howling all week and I didn't get to give them a try until Friday's charter with Dr. Foster and Rich.  I was hard on the trolling motor all day but they managed three Fat Shorts and a bunch of Blues that had to join the party.  Some customers have been picking them up and doing a decent job as well.  Yesterday it looked like the wind was giving a break, (I was wrong) but I did manage a couple drifts in Broad Creek and one 28" bass found a Spot and I ended up with yesterdays dinner.

 

I am now officially ready for the season and if the weather gives a break you can expect a great fishing trip if you decide to come on one of my Back Bay Safaris.  Jump on over to the SAFARIS page if you want some more details.  To see photos and results of this and past years Safaris go to www.facebook.com/fishabsecon

Here in the shop it has been all about getting everything organized for the current Striper Season and stocking up for the BIG Grand Slam Customer Appreciation Sale .  This is my biggest SALE of the year as I am completely stocked up and NOW is the time for you to fill those tackle boxes and pick up those Rods and Reels you will need for the upcoming battles.  The SALE runs from Friday May 10th thru Friday May 17th and almost everything is at least 25% off the regular price and I have many specials and close outs that are 50% off and more. 
 
After the Sale comes the Fishing and once again I am running my FREE Grand Slam Customer Appreciation Tournament.  This is the opening weekend of Flounder season so I will be giving prizes for Flounder, Striped Bass, Weakfish (which are showing up this spring all over the place), Bluefish and Black Drum.  Jump to the Tournament Page for all the information.  All you have to do is stop by the store to sign up or go to my Facebook Events Page and CLICK Join https://www.facebook.com/events/152670104897623/ 

 

2013 Summer Flounder Season

Open Season: May 18th to September 16th

Minimum Size: 17 1/2",  Bag limit: 5 Fish

I attended the New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council meeting on Thursday 3/7/2013 where the  upcoming season for Summer Flounder was discussed and the motion for the chosen option was voted on.  I would have liked to see an earlier opener, one option did allow for a May 11th opening day, but I feel this date will be a good one and we can expect a good population to be in the bay at that time and the water should be warm enough so they will bite. 
 
Now that we have an opening day set up my Customer Appreciation Tournament will be May 18th and 19th and I expect that we will see a LOT of fish.

Limited Boat Slips Available for 2013 Boating Season

I get very little turn over on my boat slips, but i am sure I will have at least  a couple available for the 2013 season.  They are two sizes, up to 17' and up to 20'.  These sizes are absolute maximum and they may not accept newer wide beam boats. Prices for 17' $1,000 and 20' $1,200.  The season runs the entire calender year so you won't miss the Fall Striper Season or pay extra.

 

I currently have at least 2 - 20' slips and 2 - 17' slips available and they will be available first come first served with payment in full and signed contract.  I will have a final slip count by February 1st.  If you want to join our friendly fishing team call or stop by today, but call first.
