Well, we got ours today!! The bite was on. One of the best days of the fall so far. Looks like the weather from last weekend helped to get these fish going. High hook was John Caruso, who put his limit of 50 fish in his cooler, and generously passed another 10 fish around to his buddies. A couple of other customers had over 40 fish as well. Ray Soyka, Roselle, NJ, won today's pool with a 2 1/4 pound Porgy. With the upcoming forecast, and the amount of fish we saw today, things are looking good for the weekend.October 28, 2007
Report for the Week Ending 10/28
Well, I would like to give you a report full of "Porgy Gold", but the beautiful autumn weather that came through this week kept us tied to the dock. I hope everyone took the time during this little break to regroup, reach deep down inside and pull out the true inner angler that lies within. As we get prepared for the new week, we will look ahead to Wednesday, when we will spread two anchors, drop our baits, and dominate the Porgy and Sea Bass society!! It's time to get ours!!!

Sunday, 10/21/07 Report
Very slow day today. Started at the Reef, and our first drift was probably the best of the day. Caught a few Sea Bass and had an OK shot of Porgies. Caught the tail end of the ebb tide, and once we got the flood, the fishing turned off. It was tough fishing for the remainder of the day. Picked a few Porgies, some short Sea Bass, and a couple of Triggerfish. Not a good day of fishing at all.

Saturday, 10/20/07 Report
Started the morning fishing a couple of spots on the northeastern part of the bay. We had a lot of wind and rain overnight, and it seemed to impact the fishing. Had readings on the bottom, but nothing really bit. Gave up on the bay, and headed into the ocean, between the channels. Didn't catch much until the end of the flood tide. Once the current eased up, it was Porgy Gold!!! Very good fishing for the remainder of the trip. John Hannah won today's pool with a 3 pound Sea Bass, and Tim Dickerson was high hook with 25 Porgies. Everyone's favorite, Lupo, added a 31" Striped Bass caught on a Porgy rig. I was a little worried with how the day was going to turn out, but we finished strong.
Saturday's High Hook
Tim Dickerson was high hook today with 25 Porgies.
Signs of Stripers!!
Today's bonus catch was Lupo, who caught this 31" Striper while fishing between the channels.

Headed strait to the Reef. Couldn't get anything going, so we went east to the Mud Hole. Made a few drops, and more of the same. Caught a ton of fish, just the majority were was short. This is the first Wednesday that has been disappointing.

Saturday and Sunday, 10/13 & 10/14 Report
Fishing this weekend was good. Started slow on Saturday in the bay, so we headed south to the Reef, and made the day with some very good sized porgies. High hook on Saturday was George Annette with 20 Porgies up to 3 1/2 pounds. We did see some keeper Sea Bass as well. Dave Plumacher was high hook on the Sea Bass with 5 keepers.
Sunday we were back at the Reef, and had a good pick of Porgies. Most of them were good sized. Sunday's pool winner and high hook was Shorty, Paterson, NJ, with 17 Porgies.

Wednesday, 10/10/07 Report
The fishing rebounded from last weekend. We saw some good sized Porgies, and quite a few more keeper Sea Bass. Made a couple of drops in the bay, but didn't see many keepers, so we headed to the ocean where we settled in and picked away at the fish. High hook on the Porgies was 26, and Frank Ortiz was high hook on the Sea Bass with 6 keepers, and he also had 18 porgies to take home. Ray Soyka, Linden, NJ, won today's pool with a 3 pound Sea Bass. It was a good day of fishing for all.

10/6 and 10/7, Saturday and Sunday Report
Tough keeping this weekend. We caught a ton of fish, however not too many keepers mixed in. Fished the same grounds as Wednesday, but the bigger Porgies that we were catching have moved. Frustrating weekend!!!

Porgy/Sea Bass Report
Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I took a little vacation, and will be on top of my game for the rest of the Fall. Porgy fishing has been good. We have been fishing the northern part of the bay all the way to the Tin Can Grounds, and catching a lot of fish. We saw some very nice sized porgies this week. (Look at Lou in the photo holding those two beasts up!!) Still seeing some short fish, but we are also putting a lot in the buckets. High hook has averaged 30 to 50 porgies. We are seeing a number of Sea Bass too, however the majority of them are small. We do keep a half dozen a trip. This fishing will continue to improve as the water gets cooler.

Wednesday's Pool Winner
Bill Kurtz, Rahway, NJ, is the Defending, Back-to-Back, Wednesday Pool Winner. Bill has won the pot the last two weeks with a couple of nice sized Sea Bass. That porgy he is holding in this photo isn't too shabby either. So, come on down next Wednesday, and play "Beat Bill Kurtz!!".
