SEA HUNTER 11-4

We just got our power back today. The SEA HUNTER survived the storm. I took it to another location for the storm. Unfortunately the Atlantic Highlands Harbor did not do as well. The police wont let anybody into the harbor but from what i can see from a distance it looks like most of the piers were destroyed. I know all the party fishing boats are OK as we all left the harbor.  Most of the pleasure boats that stayed in the water were destroyed.I do see a couple that that are floating, how they made it was just pure luck. It looks like all the boats that pulled out of the water in the harbor were just piled up on each other as the storm surge was so incredible. I'm not exactly how high the water was in our harbor but i would say a minimum of five feet of water in the parking lot. I know where my boat was in Staten Island there was eight feet of water in the parking lot. Words cannot describe the devastation along the Jersey coast. I saw many pics today of the neighboring towns and ones further away and my heart and prayers go out to those people many who lost everything. I'm not sure if we will be able to continue our fishing season for this year it would all depend on if and when we can get back to the dock. To be honest I'm just glad my boat my house and most of my family and friends made it with minimal damage. Unfortunately i do know a few who lost everything. I'm pretty sure if you are reading this you made it through the storm OK and that's great! If you have anything you can give to the less fortunate clothes, blankets, food, anything at all you can contact the Red Cross. Believe me lots of people are in desperate need. I will keep you posted on whats going as soon as I know. Be Safe and Thanks, Capt. Rob

SEA HUNTER 10-26 STRIPER REPORT AND WE WILL NOT BE FISHING TOMORROW 10-26




What a difference a day makes.The Stripers did not cooperate today. headed back to the same area plenty of bait still there but no fish. Headed offshore some patches of birds working fish busting on top good marks on the fish finder but we could only catch a odd fish. The past couple days the Stripers were feeding on peanut bunker, but today they were feeding on small rain fish and that always makes them hard to catch. I ended up going south and catching some Blues, but no Stripers. Headed back to the north hoping the Stripers would turn up at the change of tide but not much luck. A few small patches of fish came up but only one more Striper and some Blues. We will not be fishing tomorrow as I have the opportunity to pull my boat out of the water until this storm passes. I cannot keep it in the harbor as it wont be safe.The way it looks now we will not be fishing until the end of next week. Hopefully it is not as bad as they are making it out to be. I will keep you posted as to when we will be back in action. Good luck and be safe,     Thanks, Capt. Rob

SEA HUNTER 10-25 ANOTHER BANNER DAY STRIPERS TO 29 LBS






















Thanks to everyone who showed up today, I'm sure your arms are tired.For those who couldn't make it today, hopefully you can get out tomorrow. It was another very good day these pics only show some of the catch.No 40 pound Striper today but a 29lber a 28.5 lber and a 25 lber not too shabby. Yesterday only a few boats in the area and today there were many more. Word travels fast, lucky for us most were pretty good they were not driving threw the fish and spooking them. Hopefully we will do it again tomorrow. Try and make it down if you can because if the weather is good on Saturday it will be a madhouse out there with hundreds of boats and that wont help. See you tomorrow. Capt. Rob

SEA HUNTER 10-24 BOAT LIMIT FISH TO 40 lbs













What a day!!!!!!!!!! Here is some of the catch, Boat limit, Action all day. We went rite to the jigs today, it was the way I like it. Bent rods  with big Blues and Stripers from the start of the day till the end. We had all we could handle and we left them biting. I stayed in one area most of the day but I could see many areas of fish in different locations. Bill lankenau from Denville NJ took a 40 lb 48 inch Striper on a jig today. I'm hoping for the same tomorrow. If you can get off and make it down tomorrow I wouldn't wait this was too good to pass up. See you tomorrow, Capt, Rob

SEA HUNTER 10-23 STRIPER REPORT



Thought it was going to be big today. Received a call of birds and fish on top. Headed to the area and wouldn't you know it when we got there everything was gone. We made a few stops and caught a few shorts and some big Blues.stayed in the are waiting for the current to get going and the fish did eventually start showing up swirling on top. good marks on the fish finder but they just wouldn't bite. Very frustrating. We ended up with three keepers a handful of shorts and some big Blues.The pool winner was a nice fish 24.6 lbs caught by Richie Mastrignni from west NY. Hopefully tomorrow I will have a bunch of pics to post.  See you then, Capt. Rob
