July 31, 2007 This past week was up and down fishing - - good one day then slow the next. Mainly everything depending on the conditions. The afternoon trips fairing much better with more keepers. Small blues starting to show up and a couple keeper weakfish. The deep water fishing still the best bet for keeprs. Squid and smelts still the choice of bait. Pool winners: Freddie Baez, Hawthorne, 9 lb fluke| July 19, 2007 One of the best catches of big fluke this year happened today. Lots of fish, 4 – 5 – 6 lbs.

Squid and smelts were the hot baits with SPRO duck tails. Cliff Roberts, Bloomfield, 12 lb fluke
July 9, 2007 A very good week fluke fishing with lots of big fluke starting toshop up. Many fish in the 4 – 5 lb. range andquite a few limits every day. Many customers are taking home 4 – 6 keeper fluke. The hot baits for the week are squid and smelts. The best action is in the deep part of the channels. Anglers should bring ords heavy enough to handle 8 – 10 oz sinkers for when the tide runs hare or there is a strong wind. Pool winners: Walter Kuzmin – Stockton, 11 ½ lb. fluke
July 2, 2007 The week of June 25th was up and down fishing, wind against the tide, making poor drifting conditions. Anglers using Spro-bucktails produced more fish this week. Most of the customers walked off with 3 – 4 keeper fluke and some days loads of shorts outnumbering keepers by 30 – 1! Saturday afternoon trip was especially good with 90 – 95 keepers being caught. Pool winners: June 25, 2007 Excellent fluke fishing early in the week. Strong NW winds made it impossible tofish the deep channels and holes so we had to fish down the beach off the State Park. There was a pick at the keepers with lots of shorts. Still managing to catch 45 – 50 keepers. Sunday winds died down and we had much better fishing. The afternoon 3:30 PM to 8:00 PM trips did well with keeper fluke and quite a few shorts. Squid and smelts or sand ells starting to work better. The fluke always seem to bite on live kellies for those who bring them. Pool Winners: June 22 Excellent fluke fishing both Mon. & Tues. with 90 to 100 keepers being caught. Lots of shorts for action and still some small 1 – 3 lb blues being caught to ensure our customers stand the best chance at catching a keeper fluke. We provide 3 different types of bait, squid, speaking squid, and sand eels. Capt. Ed Bunting Sr and Jr. both try very hard to ensure your fishing day is the best you’ll get! Pool winners: Robert Whitmore, Hackettstown, Fluke June 18 Another great week fluke fishing. Many fish are being caught. Limits occur daily with most anglers catching 3 – 6 keepers per person. Squid and spearing or kellies still the best baits. More fish are being caught on bucktails for anglers who fish them. Strong bucktails seem the best, 1 to 3 oz, depending on the current or drift. More fish are moving in every day. The afternoon (3:30 pm to 8:00 PM) trips have been doing well with fluke and small blues. Fishing between Leonardo Navy Pier and Chapel Hill Channels is best. Blues are in the 1 – 3 lb range. All take on fluke baits. Recent pool winners: Conrad Krueden, Middletown, fluke, 5 ½ lb. June 13 Good size fluke continue to bite in the deep water at the point of the Hook. Many keepers in the 18 - to 21 inch range. Pool fish are generally 4 – 7 pounds. Daily, fish are starting to spread out all over the Bay and edges of the channels. Daily limits are common. Pool winners: June 4 Pool winners: June 2 June 1
