☀️🎣 What a beautiful day on Great Bay! 🎣☀️
The bay was alive today with boats on the water, anglers reeling in fish, and plenty of sunshine to go around.
Congratulations to Joe Bloniaez, who landed a beautiful 4.8 lb. fluke, and his fishing buddy Doni Richardson, who brought in a nice 3.2 lb. fluke while fishing out of Captain Mike’s.
The fishing has been great, the weather couldn’t be better, and the smiles say it all!
🚤 Boat rentals available
🎣 Bait, tackle, ice, snacks & fuel
📍 Captain Mike’s Marina, Little Egg Harbor
Get out on the bay and make some memories!

PLEASE SHARE – FAMILY NEEDS SUPPORT

Many of you know Melanie Dawn and the work she has done over the years. She has stood beside countless families, giving everything she has to help them find answers, justice, and closure. She has always been there for others in their darkest moments.

Now, her own family is facing that same kind of heartbreak.

Matt Oliver, the father of her daughter, is currently missing after reportedly falling overboard from an oyster boat in the waters between New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Search efforts are ongoing, and his loved ones are desperately hoping for answers.

This is an unimaginable situation for Melanie, their daughter, and everyone who loves Matt.

If you are in the NJ, Delaware, or Pennsylvania waterways area — especially those in the boating, fishing, or maritime community — please stay alert. Any information, no matter how small, could be important.

Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. And most importantly, please share this post to help spread awareness.

If you have any information that could help, please contact local authorities immediately or the Coast Guard.

Let’s show up for Melanie and her family the same way she has always shown up for others.If you get a confirmed Coast Guard phone number or case details, send them to me and I’ll add a strong call-to-action line so people know exactly who to contact.

Are they catching Winter Flounder in the bay anymore?

Load more
Fluke season kicked off today 5/2 and will run through 9/27.

The 2022 fluke season opened with a bang at Captain Mikes this Monday. Gino, Justin, Jalen, Derek and Alainna racked up 11 fish in total (shown above).

Other rental and slip customers reported limiting out on flounder, mainly fishing in the back bay. One angler was targeting fluke and ended up catching a 30lb bass in 3 foot of water!

It’s safe to say the season opener for fluke was not only productive but eventful too.

In case you missed it, for the first time in New Jersey fluke fishing history a slot limit was added. Here’s what else changed since last season:

  • Two fish slot between 17-17.99 inches
  • One fish 18 inches or greater
  • Season opens Monday May 2nd
  • Season closes Tuesday September 27th

Many anglers were up in arms over the recent changes in regulations. While it’s impossible to appeal to every angler, the change in regulations seem to favor the back bay angler opposed to ocean based anglers.

Apparently these changes won’t be a problem for those fishing the Great Bay. The weather forecast is providing plenty of windows in the next ten days.

Give us a call at (609) 296-4406 to book your rental boat and let’s go fishing!
