3-31-16 SEA HUNTER ALMOST READY TO GO FISHING!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a descent winter. We put the boat in the water yesterday and  brought her home. We have a couple little jobs left to do to get her ready for the season. I have my annual Coast Guard safety inspection next Tuesday the 5th. I will be looking to start off the 2016 Striper season on Friday April 8th  or Saturday April 9th depending on the weather. I hear of a few fish being caught.There is plenty of bait in the bay and judging by the amount of Stripers in the bay last fall we should have a good spring run. I will keep you posted and looking forward to seeing everyone and catching some Stripers.
  See you soon, Capt. Rob

SEA HUNTER 12-26 END OF SEASON REPORT

Well the 2015 season is officially over for the SEA HUNTER. Thanks to everyone who fished with us this year, and in years past. It was an up and down season this year; especially the Spring Striper run. The summer Fluke fishing went as usual; plenty of action with the shorts, but the bigger fish 18 inches and above were not as plentiful. One thing I have noticed the past few years is that the Berkley Gulp baits are working very well for the Fluke, especially the larger sized ones. As an old school fishermen it took me a few years to be a believer, but now I am. Due to this I started using them myself, and selling them on the boat for people who also wanted to use them.The fall Striper run started slow, but was pretty consistent the last month. The bonus tags helped tremendously, and I am hoping they keep the program going.  The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife started by giving us 50 tags for the entire fall so I was pretty stingy with them, but by November they were very short of their poundage quota so they started giving them to the Party and Charter boats as we needed them. I was then able to give out one to everyone who had a slot fish and needed a tag. I know that lots of you this year signed up late, and it took 3 weeks to a month to get the tag so if they keep the program going and they use the same mailing system don't hesitate to sign up because you may not get your tag in time (I'm not sure how many they are going to give the Party and Charter boats to start). We will start up in late March or early April for Stripers, and by the way I saw the amount of Stripers in the bay this fall and the ones I heard of up the rivers I think we should have a better spring with the Stripers. Thanks again, and have a great winter! We will see you in the spring!

SEA HUNTER 12-18 STRIPER REPORT

Another good day today with the Stripers and Blues! Some areas held only Blues while others were all Stripers.The big 9 inch Tsunamis worked very well today on the Stripers. Some guys were having a hard time catching the Stripers till they put on  the bigger Tsunamis. Some guys had no problem with the ava 47s and caught well. Don't panic and run out and buy the 9 inchers yet we have them on the boat if you need them. And I do believe I sell them cheaper. Anyway everyone brought home a bonus Striper and there were a handful of Stripers over 28 inches and plenty of big Blues.We are starting to pay for all the nice weather we have been having, as it seems like we are only fishing every other day either its the rain or the wind. Tomorrow, Saturday the forecast is for West winds with gusts to 40 So that means we will be staying dockside. So get all your chores and shopping out of the way tomorrow and plan on fishing Sunday if you want to come out. We will still be fishing next week as long as the fish are around and the weather lets us. Hopefully we can fish till the end of the month.I still have plenty of bonus tags to get rid of.

SEA HUNTER 12-16 REPORT THEY WERE HUNGRY TODAY!!!!

A very good day today. The first few drifts it was all Stripers then about 10:00 the Blues started to get hungry as well then it was a mix of Bass and Blues. The action was good the entire trip even through the slack tide. Everyone went home with at least a slot Striper and some also had a keeper to go with it. If you wanted the Blues there were plenty of them. Most of the Blues were netted and released to fight another day. We are NOT fishing tomorrow as they are calling for drizzle and fog in the morning along with a SE wind and heavy rain later in the day. Our next trip will be Friday for sure . Don't miss out. I don't know how long this fishing is gonna last. I still have a bunch of bonus tags left to give out. See you on Friday, Capt. Rob
