Memorial Day Fishing Report

We’ve been fishing before Memorial Day Weekend and the blue fish are blitzing through Great Bay and Barnegat Bay. There are 1-3lbers and plenty of fish to go around. The water temperature in the bay is high 60’s while the ocean has been low 60’s.

Still plenty of opportunities to catch a striped bass chunking the beach before the new regulations go into effect.

Flounder has been decent so far, one guy limited out using salted mackerel and spearing combo earlier this morning.

Tim will be guiding full moon kayak tours third and the fifth of the June, give us a call (609) 296-4406 for more details.

May Great Bay Fishing Report

Decent amount of black drum have been caught in the little egg inlet a few weeks back. Some anglers reported 50lbers drifting with salted clam.

Tim trolled stretch 25’s out front hunting for striped bass with no luck. Seems like the schoolie stripers are still around in the bay.

Seabass has been terrific if you can get out. Anglers are limiting out left and right. Get it while you can before the season closes 6/19.

Fluking the bay has been consistently productive using salted mackerel and spearing.

Mark Furrhman Visits Captain Mike’s Marina

Kayaker Mark Furrhman came and visited Captain Mikes Marina, he’s been on this journey since June 2nd 2022. He paddles 30 miles a day to raise money for doctors without borders. For more info on how to support Mark or see what he’s up to check out his blog.

His last shower was in Annapolis last we heard so naturally we got him a hoagie, a beer and a warm shower. It was Mark’s first hoagie!

Last we heard from him, he was in Mantaloking heading northbound heading for the last leg of his journey.

What to Expect this Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend typically doesn’t yield the best weather out front. However, if you can poke around the bays there are plenty of opportunities to hook up to bluefish, fluke, and the occasional schoolie bass if you’re lucky.

Best of luck and tight lines!
