Captain Frank Camarda of the 'Miss Beach Haven,' a member of the Beach Haven Charter fishing Association, had a group of students from Cinnaminson High School out last Thursday. They started fishing in 50-feet of water, and they had steady action from start to finish. They caught quite a few shorts and then got into the blackfish. We started out catching a lot of shorts and then got into the blackfish. The pool winner was about 5-pounds.
Frank said the kids did a great job today with the tough sea conditions, and he enjoyed and appreciated their cooperation and ability to get along with each other. 'It was a pleasure having such a well mannered group of students.'
On Saturday a stiff wind and bitter cold temperatures changed his plans for wreck fishing, and he decided to fish close the beach. Camarda found some nice bass mixed in with blues, and almost everybody on the boat had their limit on bass and blues. The largest bass was a 22-pounder caught by Capt Brant Whittaker. He chased the birds around to about noon and called it a day.
All of the captains of the Beach Haven Charter fishing Association want to take this opportunity to wish one and all a Happy Thanksgiving.
