Fishing has never been better at the Jersey Shore

 

“If you can't catch fish right now, there's something wrong with you,” was how Monroe Boyce put it this week.

Boyce owns Mac's Shark River Tackle in Neptune, N.J., and has the inside scoop on everything around the Shark River and Belmar area.

According to Boyce and others, fishing in that area is as hot as it can possibly get. Imagine fishermen complaining about not being able to get their bait beneath the bluefish to get to the stripers. That's hot fishing action.

Boyce says if that happens, “they don't know what they're doing.” His point being that you have to use 6 and 8 ounce jigs to get the bait down fast. If you can get it down, legal stripers (more than 28”) are everywhere. Even from the beaches.

The recommended baits are trolling umbrella rigs and deep diving clams from the boats and clam bait from the beach. A guy I met last week while fishing in Cabela's fishing tournament told me to cut the clams in half. He said he watched whole clams thrown all day with limited results and simply cut his bait in chunks and caught fish all day long.

Flounder have also been showing up along the beach in the last few days — a true indication of the warming waters.

“The weakfish are running so strong at the Point the other night one guy caught 30 off Higbee's Beach jetty. Some up to three to four pounds,” said Dennis McVay, a staffer Jim's Tackle in Cape May.

Reports out of the southern Jersey tip have the fishing good all over. The drums in the bay have slowed down, but at the same time the weakfish are plentiful and the flounder are coming in.

Stripers are getting caught in numbers off the beach with clams. This week Jim's weighed in a 17-lb and a 21-lb striper from Poverty Beach.

Stripers are getting caught with live spot at night in the rips. The best time to land them is sundown until just after dark. Flounder are around the Old Grounds up to six lbs. The Cape May artificial reef is producing flounder and seabass from the 4-hour boats. The 14-foot light has seen action with flounder this week.

This weekend's Cape May Shark Tournament had some boats heading offshore in preparation. Jim's weighed in two makos, one weighing in at 150 lbs and the other just under at 147 lbs. The Wilmington Canyon had one boat coming in reporting releasing 30 small bluefin tunas and several yellow up to 40 lbs.

Whether you have a boat, plan to jump on a headboat or just throw from the beaches and jetties, head out. The Jersey tourist and vacation season is just heating up but the fishing is already red hot.

PGC commissioners meet

The Pennsylvania Game Commissioners board of commissioners met this week to plan the upcoming season.

The best idea to come out of the PGC in a long time is now a done deal. The Mentored Youth Hunting Program has gotten final approval and takes effect for the upcoming season.

Under the program, a mentor would be defined as a properly licensed individual at least 21 years of age, who will serve as a guide to a mentored youth while engaged in hunting or related activities, such as scouting, learning firearm or hunter safety and wildlife identification. The youth of course could be any youngster under the age of 12 and will not be required to be licensed.

The regulations require that the mentor to mentored youth ratio be one-to-one, and that the pair possesses only one sporting arm while hunting. While moving, the sporting arm must be carried by the mentor. When the pair reaches a stationary hunting location, the mentor may turn over possession of the sporting arm to the youth and must keep the youth within arms length at all times.

Squirrels, whistlepigs (groundhogs) and spring gobblers are the only game that can be hunted during the first year of this program and all regular rules and regulations apply. Starting next year antlered deer will be added.

The proverbial "starting out slow' was the canned reasoning behind the species restrictions. But I'm quibbling. This is an excellent program that will not only let us take our kids hunting sooner but we can now also begin the education process of their role in wildlife appreciation and management sooner. In the vernacular, it's all good.

 

Tip #19

Home Buying Tip, Online Searching:
Searching online is a very effective way to look for real estate in New Jersey, or anywhere for that matter.  Good websites allow you to search through multiple MLS’s so you can cover a wide range.  For example here you can Search for NJ Real Estate.

After you find the house you are interested in you can inquiry with the real estate agency to find out more information or to arrange an appointment to view the house.

 

Tip #18

Home Selling Tip, Targeting Out Of State:
When you sell your home you sometimes have to put yourself in the potential buyers’ shoes.  In New Jersey many home buyers are from the surrounding area, like New York or Pennsylvania.

Knowing this can allow your agent to market your house more effectively.   If he/she will advertise in a New York publication they can describe the proximity to NY.  This allows your potential Buyer Base to expand.
