05/16/08
Captain Paul reports:
The weather was horrible but the fishing was great. The Chris Cameroni
charter was on board the Bounty Hunter for the best day of Striper fishing we've had
this Spring. We got on the fish early and the bite was non stop for 2 1/2 hours. The
charter put a limit catch of 12 Bass up to 40" in the box then went on to fill
all their bonus tags. Along with the catch over a dozen short Bass were released.
05/15/08
Captain Paul reports:
The Mark Lukenda charter was on board the Bounty Hunter for a day of Seabass
fishing. Capt. Paul set up on 3 small pieces and the charter proceeded to box 91
Seabass up to 4 lbs. The nice catch was made despite the tough anchoring conditions
caused by a total lack of wind and current.
05/14/08
Captain Paul reports:
Capt. Paul had the Brian McFadden charter on board the Bounty Hunter and ran
up to Sandy Hook. Although many of the boats caught their limit of Bass today it was
a slow day for us. We just could not get the Bass going on clam baits and only
managed to box 4 keepers up to 32" along with 6 shorts.
05/10/08
Captain Paul reports:
Capt. Paul had Werner & Wolfgang Sprie on board the Bounty Hunter for what
started out to be another Striped Bass charter. The previous days rain had turned
the ocean water brown and we suspected that Bass fishing might be slow so we
switched over to "Plan B". We turned to the east and headed several miles
offshore to do some wreckfishing for Seabass. All went well as 2 drops on rough
bottom produced a 3 man limit catch of 75 Seabass up to 4 lbs. Along with 1 Cod.
Over a dozen Blackfish along with a half dozen large Porgies were also boated and
all were released. I still have a few open days for Seabass or Stripers in June, if
interested call 732-323-8700. The days will not last long.
05/8/08
Captain Paul reports:
The Ryan Neiber charter joined Capt. Paul on board the Bounty Hunter today.
Setting up in 20 ft. at Sandy Hook the Bass were more cooperative today compared to
yesterday. We fished the incomming tide and the charter put 9 Bass up to 33" in
the fish box and released another half dozen shorts along with a few Bluefish. On
the ride home a brief stop on heavy bird play off Asbury Park added another dozen
Alligator Blues to the days tally. All the Blues were Jigged on Ava's and all were
released.
05/7/08
Captain Paul reports:
You could almost see it comming. The steady decline in the number of Stripers
over the last 3 days. Blame the new moon, the calm weather or the boat traffic,
whatever but the Bass fishing has slowed over the past few days. Today was the worst
we've seen as the Bob McColgan charter only boated 3 keeper Bass up to 31"
while clamming despite a maximum effort. Two hours of trolling Spoons on the Rocks
and off Asbury Park only added 3 Bluefish to the catch. Hopefully the rougher
weather predicted for the next few days will improve the situation. Check out the
Fluke Special on our web site right hear on NauticalNet
05/6/08
Captain Paul reports:
It was another good day on the Bounty Hunter as the Phil D'Amore charter
joined Capt. Paul for some good Striper fishing. Capt. Paul made his way up to Sandy
Hook and set up in 25 Ft. We had the Bass on within minutes and the bite lasted for
2 hours. Then it died completely. We did not have any bites thru the tide change and
only 1 Bass was boated on the outgoing tide. As slow as the bite was the charter
managed to put a limit catch of 12 Bass up to 38", while releasing several
shorts along with a handful of Blues.
05/4/08
Captain Paul reports:
The Sprie brothers Werner and Wolfgang returned for their first charter of
the year on the Bounty Hunter. Capt. Paul wasted no time returning to the same area
where we had a good bite on Saturday. Anchoring in 25 Ft. we were into the Bass as
soon as the first clam bait hit bottom. The 2 man charter had a steady pick of Bass
up to 35" throughout the entire outgong tide while landing 44 Bass of which 29
were over 28" and 15 were short. In addition to the Bass over 2 dozen Blues
were landed. As is always the case with the Sprie's all the Bass and Blues were
released. Stripers are comming on strong! I still have a few choice dates available.
Call 732-323-8700 to get in on the great fishing.
05/2/08
Captain Paul reports:
The Greg Lewis charter was on board the Bounty Hunter today and Capt. Paul
ran north to Sandy Hook. We made 2 stops today. After an hour we had nothing to show
for our effort on the first drop. On our second stop we anchored in 25 ft. and had
our first Bass within 10 minutes. The bite improved and the charter went on to box
10 keeper Bass up to 33" along with 2 Bonus fish. Another 6 short Bass were
released. All the bites came on the outgoing tide. June 12, 16, & 27 are still
available for charter. Call 732-323-8700 to reserve your day.
04/25/08
Captain Paul reports:
Capt. Paul had the Mick Pirolli charter on the Bounty Hunter for the first
trip of the 2008 season. Running up to the north we did not see our first bait read
until we were north of Long Branch. We put out a couple of rigs and had our first
Blue within minutes in 40 ft. of water. The bite improved up on the Rocks and we had
steady action. The charter boxed 3 dozen Blues up to 10 lbs. along with 6 Stripers,
3 shorts and 3 keepers. Tubes and Shads did most of the catching. On the way home
off Asbury a few Blues were added using Ava's. Want to get in on the Striper action?
May 4,5 & 6 are still available. Call 732-323-8700 to reserve your day.
05/06/08
Captain Kevin Delanoy reports:
I fished the bay today looking for anything that would bite. Fishing over by
the power plant produced blues to 5lbs with a few bass swirling after the surface
poppers but no takers.The flats produced only a few blues.I will try again tomorrow
and look for some weakfish in the AM.
04/19/08
Captain Kevin Delanoy reports:
Today we fished South of Barnegat Inlet on the wreck fishing grounds looking
for some larger fish. The conditions were perfect and the bite was slow but very
consistant thoughout the day.Limit catches were made by all anglers on board with
the largest fish topping out at 12lbs and a few other fish at 6 to 8 lbs.I have no
problem with taking only four fish per angler during the spring season but I do feel
we will be getting the Royal shaft when the season closes next week. I have always
maintained the standard of releasing all female blackfish with eggs and I now have a
hard time seeing how this has helped the fishing industry as my trips for the next
month are at about half what they were last year.
04/13/08
Captain Kevin Delanoy reports:
We've been concentrating our efforts on flounder this past week, and the little flatfish have not disappointed. Splitting our time between the Shrewsbury & Navesink rivers and Raritan Bay, catches have ranged from decent to excellent. On Saturday afternoon, the Pat Mchale party from Howell had a hot bite in the bay for the last 2 hours of their trip, putting 32 flounder to 17 inches in the box. On Sunday morning, the Aaron Hopmayer party from Orange county, NY, put 34 keepers to 18 inches in the cooler before the bite died out near the tide change. Sandworms and mussels worked equally well.

06/27/08
Captain Ray Burke Reports:

THIS WAS A GREAT SUCCESS LAST YEAR WITH PLENTY OF FISH CAUGHT AND FLUKE UP TO 7 LBS. June 25, and 26 are open to charter, that's it !
The BIG BASS are in ! On may 20, the Jeff Grabiac charter had a full limit of striped bass to 38'. All nice big fat ones. We started off the day casting to breaking bluefish in the bay for constant action. We landed and released 40 blues. On the 21st. the Bobby and Pete Daly charter had a full limit of striped bass also up to 38'. plenty of bluefish as well. On the 22nd. the Frank Blanch charter had 50 bluefish caught casting. They were hitting metals of any kind and Frank was having a ball with the top water plugs. He kept trying to see how many bluefish he could pull the plug away from ! Great strikes. On Friday, the Bill Stephens charter from New Century Transportation had a great day with the bluefish again, casting to them. But only had a pick of bass. Saturday, Bluefish Bob Donahue was out with a great day on the big stripers. He had a full limit of stripers to 40" and 20 lbs. Again, plenty of bluefish were caught in the morning casting to the birds. On Sunday, the Frank Mimichetti charter had a really good day catching stripers. A full limit was landed with others released. Frank not only caught the largest striped bass of his life, but also the largest fish of his life!! It was a beauty at 30 lbs. !!! Monday saw another limit of striped bass for the Don Moser charter. Another full limit was caught and more released. Don had the largest of the day at 40". Soooo........... the big bass are in. Time to go !! The water temperature has only been in the mid to high 50's. We will be catching these fish thru June and into July. Open dates in June are 24, 25, 26. July 1, 2, 4, 6, 7-11. We could even do a striper and fluke combo. Hope to see you soon ! THANKYOU.
The striped bass run is in full swing! On monday, the Keith Reardon, Mick and Marty Golabek charter limited out with striped bass to 31". Shorts were released and the bluefish were everywhere. On Tuesday, the Scott Lavenberg charter had another limit of striped bass up to a high of 36". They are getting bigger. Also, plenty of bluefish were landed as well. On wednesday, we had aboard the Steve Shoemaker charter from PA. We started out with plenty of bluefish. Made a move, more bluefish and then we finally got the bass going , but when the strong south wind came up, the bite stopped, even with the blues! They landed bass to 33". I had a high of 63.2 degrees water temp. on some of those warm days. And the water must be warming up as there are spots in the bay with algea blooms. Fishing will only pick up now on the down side of the moon, and after this storm. Afternoon / evening trips are available for the months of May and June. Dates left to charter are winding down. Nothing in May for a day trip. Day trips available in June are: 17, 18, 24, 25, 26 THAT'S IT ! ******** July, 1, 2, 4, 6. Striper and fluke combo anyone ??

Hello to all my fellow fishing friends out there. There has been a variety of different species caught aboard the "Just One More" lately. Last Tuesday we had aboard the Tom Smith charter and stripers were landed on clams up to 31". Wednesday we had aboard the Scott Lavenberg charter and we had striped bass and bluefish. The bluefish seem to be everywhere in the bay. On Thursday, the Dave Taub charter had, what I think is the last gasp of winter flounder, and a mix of bluefish. Friday, the Bob Abel charter had a "Sandy Hook Spring Grand Slam". They landed striped bass, bluefish, and winter flounder ! With the water temps. up over 50 degrees and all the bluefish in the bay, the winter flounder will make a hasty retreat. With some more nice weather predicted for the end of this week, the striped bass fishing should break wide open.
Dates left to charter are: April 30. June 5, 16, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26. With the striped bass season starting late this year, those June dates should really be super fishing.
The next OPEN BOAT DATE, not filled is June 4. Come fishing by yourself or with a family member or friend. 7 am to 2 pm. Everything included as usual. $100.00 per head. This is a great way to get out by yourself and fish if you can't find enough people to charter the whole boat. And always, lot's of laughs !!!!

The bass are here! An open boat trip on Thursday with: Dave, Jim, Jim, John, Bob, and Nick produced stripers to 30". The water temp. was about 51 degrees and probably colder on the bottom. The fishing was a little slow, but with all this nice weather, it will be big numbers of bass again real soon. Friday, we had out the nearly famous, "Flounder Bob Abel" charter. Flounder were landed to 15.5" and it was a beautiful day, except for the skates, they are everywhere. We fished a couple of spots around the Pier and went out to Romer Shoal Light. The flounder will be stacking up shortly to leave and the fishing will only get better.
This Sunday, the 27th. is still open to charter if you would like to book a striper or flounder trip. June charter dates are: 5, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, Sunday the 29th.
UPCOMING OPEN BOAT TRIPS: April 28, Monday.....May 13, Tuesday.....June 4, Wednesday. Come fishing by yourself or bring a friend or relative. These are fun trips with everyone having a good time, making new friends and future fishing buddies as well ! Lots of laughs!! Full day, 7am to 2 pm. Everything included as usual aboard the "Just One More". $100.00 per angler. You must call or email to confirm your spot. www.just1morecharters.com 908-472-2684 THANKYOU.

It won't be long now !! I have had multiple reports from various sources that there are bunker near Keansburg and up the Shrewsbury River. That means the stripers won't be far behind. I even had reports of stripers being caught back in the shallow water we fish in April. The "Just One More" will be back in the water on April 1, [ no joke], either a few days before or a couple of days after. It depends on when the weather is warm enough for me to wax the hull. I can't wait to be in the new slip. "B" dock, slip "8". A lot shorter walk.
For the spring flounder run, I just picked up some new "Gulp" bloodworms. I can't wait to try these as they say they are better than natural bait. We'll see if it beats out a big, smelly, and bloody sandworm! We'll put them thru the test. April dates are filling fast with only a couple remaining. Winter flounder, striped bass, or a combo of both would make a nice trip. Open dates in April are: 7- 13, 15, 16, 17, 23.
Open dates in May are: 6, 13, 22, 27. That's it! Don't wait to book for long.
Open dates in June are: 3, 4, 5, 12, 15 [Father's Day], 16-19.

Hello to all my fellow fishing friends out there. I would like to apologize for the long time in between reports. It has been a very tough February for me and my family as my mother was very sick and passed away about a week ago. She started getting sick in October and in Decenber I pulled the boat out of the water early to be with her around the clock. So basically since then, I have neglected my busisness and I apologize for that. BUT.....I am looking forward to brighter and sunnier days with you on the water soon !!
I must plow ahead and keep busy. Some things have changed. I no longer have my home phone number for you to call. The only number to call now to book a charter is 908-472-2684. That is my cell / boat number.
In just over a very short month, "The Just One More' will be back in the water. Dates for stripers in the spring have been going fast lately, and are booking up on basically a daily basis. So if you want a charter for this spring striper season, you really should book soon. Full day, open dates in May are: 5, 6, 7. 8. 13, 22, 27, 28. June :3, 4, 5, 15, 16-19, 22, 23-26, 28, 29. There are even some highly desired weekend dates in there!!
Check out my web site as there have been a few additions. For one is a report section, I'm sure you all would like to read. I will try and keep this updated with the latest fishing news and especially our trips. www.just1morecharters.com
Thankyou,

Happy New Year to all my fishing friends out there. I hope you had a very happy Holiday season. Time is flying by and I am already working on the "Just One More" and all the tackle, getting it ready for the spring. It won't be long, just a couple of months and we'll be back in the water.
Last April saw some of the best winter flounder fishing in some time. Trips were landing up to 35 flounder in the bay and the fish were big and fat. Many were 17" - 18". So you might like to try for them this spring and get rid of your cabin fever early. Towards the end of April, we were doing COMBO TRIPS with winter flounder early in the day and then heading to another spot to catch striped bass. Maybe the combo trip would get rid of your cabin fever??
Striped bass fishing dates in May are going fast with many trips booked last May, a year early. I would not wait too long to make your reservation. Open days in May are: 1, 4, 5-8, 13, 22, 25, 26-28. There are a couple of Sunday dates in there and the rest book extremely fast as we get closer to the spring. Hope to hear from you soon!!! 908-412-9147

6/21-22/08
Capt. Tom reports:
The Fintastic Crew of Captain’s Tom Kelly, Bruno Giuliari and Richie Andrews
had the Eddie Hibbert charter on board for the two days of the Mako Mania Shark
Tournament.
Saturday:
On Saturday we fished in the east side of the Triple Wrecks. We had no idea what was
in store for us. We started our drift in 220’ of water and 69◦ water temp with
good bait readings and closest boat was 3 miles away. At 10:30 am a huge splash
occurred at the 30’ balloon. We only saw a massive shark tail disappear into the
water. Richie at that point takes the pitch bait and feeds it back into the slick.
He is instantly hooked up on a Penn 50SW with 21# of drag and 80# mono, the shark
dumped nearly half the spool before we cleared the lines and began backing down on
this monster. The rod was past to every charter member multiple times including the
crew. This fish would just not come up. After two hours of pulling, backing down and
spinning on this fish it finally came up. We grabbed the leader and couldn’t budge
the fish any closer to the boat before it made another run. We had this fish up
about nine times and could not get a good look at it. The size of this fish was
unbelievable it had to weigh well over 1,000#. About 3pm we decided to try something
else to break the stalemate. We realized that if this was a mako we wouldn’t have
enough time to boat the fish and make the tournament’s 7pm weigh in, at this point
we were 62 miles from Pt Pleasant, so forget the tournament rules. The plan was to
swap the fish to a larger rod and reel. We had a Penn 70vs rigged with 200# spectra
and 130# mono top shot which we attached a snap swivel to. The next time we were
able to grab the leader we attached the snap swivel to the leader and cut the Penn
50 free from the fish. At this point we were able to apply 33# of drag to the fish
and fight the fish from a swivel rod holder, similar to how we fish for giants in
NC. The battle lasted for another 2 ½ hours we put as much pressure as we could and
finally at 5:30 pm the line parted and that was it. The battle lasted for 7 hours;
we end up over six miles from original location and pulled into our slip at 9:30pm.
We couldn’t be a 100 % on the identification of this shark but the tail shape leads
us to believe it was either a Great White or a monster mako. We could never get good
look at its head, it was always angled down.
Sunday:
On Sunday we fished the Northeast end of the Glory Hole. We setup in 200’ of crystal
blue 69◦ water. There were whales on the surface and solid bait readings at
100’. At 9:30 the 30’ rod goes off and were hooked up to a 90 - 100# Mako, which
was released after a short fight. We caught 2 additional Mako’s which were under the
tournaments’ qualifying size of 66”. The weather was a little sporty by noon but by
4pm the wind dropped out and we had good ride home.
In the 2 days of Mako Mania we fought a monster shark for 7 hours and caught 3
Mako’s not a bad weekend, if this sounds like fun, call us for dates and
availability.

Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Tom Kelly and Richie Andrews gave the Bob Ott charter from Pt
Pleasant, NJ a Father’s Day trip to remember, on the FINTASTIC. They started the
morning snagging bunker outside of Manasquan inlet after filling the live well, they
made their way north. An hour went by before they caught their first fish and then
another as the sun rose the bass really turned on. The 12 person charter at one
point had 8 fish on at once. The bass hit live bunker, heads, tails you name it.
They landed over 25 bass and kept 17 for the table. Two fish weighed in at Clarks
Landing came in at 38 and 44½ # the largest this year on the Fintastic.
6/14/08
Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Bruno Giuliari and Tom Kelly had the Matt Detlet charter on the
FINTASTIC for the Brett Bailey Mako Rodeo. We setup 55 miles to the southeast of
Manasquan in clean 69 degree water, good bait readings, good drift and only 3 other
boats in the area. With the table set we had high hopes for Mr. Mako, but we
proceeded to catch and release 8 big blue sharks and a few bluefish which kept Matt
and his friends quite busy.
We’ll try again this weekend we’ll be fishing both days of Mako Mania.

Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Tom Kelly and Tom Savastano had the Stan Olszak charter on the
FINTASTIC for and afternoon striper trip. Before heading back to Manasquan from the
Highlands Captain Kelly threw his net and loaded the live well with bunker. We
worked our way down to Asbury where the fish finder lit up with readings. We put her
on the drift and had non stop action with Stripers from 18 to 30#. Stan an avid surf
fisherman couldn’t believe this type of fishing.
6/11/08
Capt. Tom reports:
Captains Tom Kelly and Joe Patsco took the Marty Aberelle charter on the
Fintastic for a late afternoon bass trip. Anchoring in 25' of water the trip started
with a good blue fish bite and as the sun went down the bass really turned on. They
end up chunking over 30 bass ranging from 20 - 27 # with the largest fish weighing
33#. They kept 18 bass table and released the rest to fight another day.
The Fintastic is moving from the Highlands to Point Pleasant today and has some open
date availble. We will be sailing from Clarks Landing Marina in Point Pleasant until
December and then off to Morehead City, NC.
This weekend we will be fishing the Bret Bailey Mako Redeo shark tournament and then
back to Bass fishing on Sunday.

Captain Pete Wagner reports
Another beautiful day on the Hyper Striper out of the Highlands. Capt. Pete
and mate Chad worked hard all day to put 7 keeper bass in the box along with 1 nice
bluefish. Hope this is the start of good things to come. Great weather. Good
Company.
