2006 Fishing Reports

10/14/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Capt. Darren and mate Phil Mancini had the Mary Lou Crew out for a shot at some fall stripers with the Savas Savadis charter on board. We made our first stop off the tip of Sand Hook and and had the fished stacked up pretty good. We managed to pull several nice fish out of there and had around a dozen shorts. But as soon as the tide slacked and turned to come back in the fishing died! We bounced around for the rest of the afternoon looking for a bite but could not get them going again.

09/30/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the Jon Seagul charter on board for what was going to be a bluefish charter, but when we got out to the fishing grounds it was loaded up with weakfish. First mate Phil Mancini through the cast net before we left the dock and we had a 40 gallon live well full of peanute bunker. Well it was a half day trip that started at 1:30pm and by 5pm we had our limit and we went into release mode and also added some bluefish for good measure

08/24/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Capt. Darren and mate Jeff Volker had the boys from Atlantic Grinding on board for a mixed day of fishing. We started off looking for blues and had a little trouble at first. A move out to 17 fathoms paid off as we found some fish on the surface feeding. We jigged enough fish to make them happy and we decided to switch over to the flatties. Starting at the Sandy Hook Channel looked good, but after the first drift with two keepers in the box, it was all Sea Robins. I decided to move out to the Ambrose and it paid off! We ended the day with a dozen nice fat keepers up to 3 pounds.

08/19/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Capt. Darren along with mate Phil Mancini had a full group for another half day blue fish trip. Again we fished all the spots for the blues and picked at each spot. The fish seem to be moving around and not staying in one place. I also noticed that they are really chasing the rain fish, which might be the reason the fish are not eating our baits. It was not another good day for the blues, although the ones we did catch were big.

08/18/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Capt. Darren and mate Mark Deur had a half day blue fish trip with John Ely and his two children. We started out at the Shrewbury Rocks and had a few blues. We made a move to the mud bouy and again only had a couple of fish, so we decided to make one more move out to 17 Fathoms and had nice clean water and marked some fish. We picked a few more fish, but on a whole the fishing was not good at all!

08/10/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the Mary Lou Crew out for another day of fluke fishing. We started off down South off of Seabright and had a steady pick of fish. Today there shorts seemed to dominate. We had 8 nice seabass to go along with a 4 keepers. Not bad fishing for a half day although again not enough big fish.

08/04/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the Mary Lou Crew out again for another fluke trip with the Bill Bailey charter from West Orange, NJ. and fished along the beaches. We had every bit of 75 fish caught for the day, with 14 being keepers. We also added 5 nice seabass to the cooler to spice things up. We only fished until 1pm in beautiful weather and sea conditions.

08/02/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the Mary Lou back out again this morning for another half day fluke trip. After getting a late start we went back to where we had them yesterday and the fish were still there. The 2 adults and 2 childern had the fill of catching flatties with 9 keepers with the largest being 19 inches. Hot out there. Anyone wanting to get in on the best time of the year for fluke and blue fish give us a call 973-809-9736.

08/01/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the boat out for a half day fluke trip with only two anglers onboard. We made one move after a short stay at the Sandy Hook Channel and had over 50 fluke with 12 being keepers. One fished came in at 5 1/2 pounds while a few others were 20 inch fish. Great day on the water and the best part we never had to leave and go search for fish. Back out again in the morning.

07/22/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Capt. Darren and mate Phil Mancini had a 6 person charter on board from East Hanover, NJ. We drifted all the usual spots in the bay and had several shorts. We made one move just outside the hook and finally found some keepers. We stayed on that drift for the rest of the day right up until the drift changed. All in all not a bad day, but again to many shorts.

07/09/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the boat out again today for another shot at some fluke. We started out way west up in the Reach channel but had no fish. We moved to a piece near by and had a few shorts and 2 keepers. Left and moved to the flats on the West side of the Ammo pier and had several shorts but put a few more keepers in the box. Then found a nice piece near the Reach and fished all alone and had several keeper and a ton of shorts and finshed the day with 10 keepers. Not bad with only 4 guys fishing.

07/08/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the George Gibson charter on board for a full day of fluke fishing. We had a nice day on the water and caught plenty of flatties. The only problem was there was to many shorts. We ended the day with 12 keepers. Very nice group to fish with and again the young girl onboard out fished everyone! We fished all around the bay and had fish in all spots.

07/03/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the boat out for another shot a the flatties with the Christian Swerd charter from Indiana. We fished a few of my favorite drops and had a constant bite all day. We ended the day with 15 nice keepers and to many shorts to count. Not bad considering it was only a half day trip.!

07/02/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had a special trip today with a film crew on board from the Discovery Channel. They are doing a show in the UK called Hooked on Fishing with Paul Allen as the host. Well they filmed a fluke trip aboard the Mary Lou Crew and we put a decent catch together for the viewers. We first tried to get a nice big striper for the show, but the fish were not to be found. So we switched over to the flatties and had a ton of shorts with a few nice keepers mixed in. Paul was a pleasure to fish with and so was the film crew.

06/29/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had 3 guy charter from Nebraska out for attempt at a half day blue fishing trip. Well to say it blunt the fish was horriable. We fished 4 different spots and only had a few blues and got destroyed by the dog fish.

06/23 & 24/06
Captain Darren Reports:
The Mary Lou and Crew took a few days off from charting to enjoy the boat for themselves and went back to Manasquan to fish the shark tournaments. On Friday we fished south east of the inlet and had only one Mako that was just a pup and set free unharmed to get bigger. We were back out on Saturday again in less then nice running conditions and had no fish all day until around 2:30pm when our short line went down and we had a fish on Fought the fish for 20 minutes when it made a turn and wrapped us in the running gear. We spent another 10 minutes trying to free it but eventually the line broke. Another one we will never know about gets away.

06/18/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Capt. Darren and mate Phil Mancini had Dave Baruzza and guys from PA out for a day of Striper and Blue fish. Started off in the morning catching all the blues the guys wanted and then made a short move at the change of the tide. Once the tide started to move the Bass bite was on. We had several large Bass all of them in the 20 lb class. All fish were caught on fresh bunker. Once the tide ran real hard the Bass turned off and the blue fish were back. We then switched over at the end of the day for a few short drifts for fluke. We had all shorts and no keepers. Great day on the water.

06/16/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Capt. Darren and mate Phil Mancini had the Rich Leihter and friends from Sussex County, NJ aboard for a day of sharking. After arriving in the area the water was a little dirty and cold so a short move to the west put us in decent water. It wasn't to long after that we had are first blue shark of the year on. We went on to catch 3 blue sharks, with one one for just a short while that we hooked right next to the boat. This blue shark was in the mid 200 lb class!. After that we had a mako in our slick but we could not get him to eat. He was too busy chasing bluefin tuna around. We did have a few blue fish in the slick and had our share of spinys. It was a beautiful day on the water and things are looking good for next weeks shark tournaments.

06/14/06
Captain Darren Reports:

We fished down the beach off the Highlands and started off chunking, but only caught dogfish We went up on the troll and had one striper around 20lbs and then had the rod go off and almost got spooled. I thought it was our shot at a 50lb striper, after a long battle the fish was boated and it turned out to be a 52 3/4 lb black drum that was weighed in at Julians. The fish was caught on a white bunker spoon in 40 feet of water. Other then that it was a slow day of fishing.

06/10/06
Captain Darren Reports:
Had the Mary Lou Crew out for the JCSA fluke tournament and fished along the beach in less then good conditions. We had all the fluke we could handle the only problem was that they were all to small.
