Jim caught a 7.5lb doormat
We got quite lucky with weather this Memorial Day Weekend at Captain Mikes. Anglers were able to enjoy Great Bay without worrying about any storm cells rolling through.
Jim (pictured above) caught a 26″ fluke on his trip out on his rental boat Sunday afternoon. Surprisingly enough Jim was fishing right out front of Captain Mikes Marina using gulp!
Plenty of fluke fisherman went home happy after fishing the Great Bay this weekend.
Beware of Terrapins Crossing Great Bay Boulevard
Slow down! The Terrapins are nesting again
You might want to slow down during your next trip down Seven Bridges Road. Several volunteers of The Great Bay Terrapin Project reported terrapin turtles crossing the boulevard over the weekend.
During May and June, many pregnant females search for safe places to lay their eggs. These females lay their eggs in a sand/gravel mixture where it is easy for them to dig and cover their eggs, like sandy dunes and in scrub-shrub habitat along road edges.
Unfortunately, many females are accidentally killed motorists each year. The Great Bay Terrapin Project has helped raise awareness and protected countless Terrapin turtles by placing signs and raising fences along the road to prevent them from crossing.
If you ever happen to see a Terrapin crossing the road, please move them to the other side of the road that they were walking towards.
Captain Mike’s is a proud partner of The Great Bay Terrapin Project. The project is entirely funded by donations, if you wish to volunteer or donate to help the cause you can sign up here.
Jim’s Seem To Catch More Fish
Jimmy Allen caught a 24″
If your name is Jim and you were fishing in Great Bay over Memorial Day Weekend, there’s a good chance you caught a doormat fluke! If not, sorry but you are the weakest Jim!
Jimmy Allen managed to catch this beautiful fluke right off the Fish Factory, sorry if you were trying to keep that a secret Jim!
Plenty of fish were caught by rental boats this weekend. Scroll down to check out more photos from the long weekend. It’s great that summer is finally here. Get after it, get geared up, and let’s go fishing!

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.Those were cool boats. The canins were the best greenhead enviroments around. My favorites were the pointed bow ones at Capt. Mikes.
I remember as a kid in the mid 70s (around 6 or 8 years old) going fishing out of Captain Mikes with my dad and his buddies and always renting those garveys, I believe they were powered by little 6 hp Johnsons, those cabins saved us a few times from the rain out on the bay, I would love to have one for old time sake!
Thanks for sharing!
Great story. The first boat i was ever on was a rental garvey from Chestnut Neck boatyard. It was aa little larger, had an inboard engine, with a floor gearshift, a cuddy cabin and a hardtop. It was named the "Me Too". Was about 1958
That’s funny that you just posted this Gary was just speaking of remembering those boats

A little about the road where our marina is located …..
Great Bay Blvd., also known as 7 Bridges Road actually only has 5 bridges……Bridges 6 and 7 were never built.
The 4 mile peninsula was to be connected to Brigantine then to Atlantic City during the early 1900’s. If completed, it would of saved 20 miles of driving to get to Atlantic City.
There are a few reasons it wasn’t completed –
#1 – It was going to cost millions to complete the bridges (over $35 million in today dollars).
#2 – The water was too deep – about 40 foot – which made it much harder to complete the connection.
#3 -It was volatile around the inlet and the powers that be worried about shifting and the land sinking. This would have caused flooding and the road to be washed out at times.
It would have been nice if it had been completed, but now it is just a road into our pristine wifelife preserve.
Rented kayaks at your place around 20 years ago. Have been in love with that road and surrounding beauty ever since!
Cool to know !
That’s pretty cool never new whole story
TU Went There Growing Up Fishing With My Dad RIP Fun Times He Would Rent a Boat From Captain Rands and Captain Mikes That Was 65 Years Ago 👌
Very cool Thanks for sharing!
Better this way! It’s beautiful all the way back on that road unless you have tailgaters! People need to slow down and enjoy this gem! AND WATCH FOR THE TURTLES 🐢
Interesting!!
