Poor weather continues to have an adverse effect on the fishing off Beach Haven. As they spend time on land, the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing
Association are planning some tuna trips to the canyons and looking forward to the arrival of the striped bass.
The "Miss Beach Haven" with Captain Frank Camarda fished last Saturday despite the strong winds and chilly early temperatures. The nasty conditions did not affect the fishing, however, as the first two stops produced fast action on sea bass, but not much in the way of keepers.
The next move, according to mate Sal Rosa, produced the real action. He said there were keepers galore as many anglers including quite a few skillful women, had a dozen or more keepers. The high hook was 16 keepers. Mike from Tabvernacle was the pool winner with a 4.5 pound sea bass. One angler had his sister Peggy out fishing to get her out of the house for a planned surprise birthday party when they got home. The birthday girl and her brother had over 20 sea bass along with a nice triggerfish.
The windy conditions Sunday, however, were just too much, and Captain Frank pulled the plug after traveling to the inlet and taking a look at the nasty conditions. All anglers received a full refund. Sal reminds everyone the boat has a 10-hour sea bass trip planned for Monday, October 11.
