The captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association have begun making the preparations for the upcoming shift from summer to fall fishing. Captain Adam Nowalski of the "Karen Ann" reports he will be targeting sea bass and croakers in September.

Captain Adam says the drop in air temperatures will soon bring a drop in water temperatures provoking a hotter bite from the sea bass. He also is looking for some good croaker action in the ocean.

Meanwhile Captain George Finck of "Sparetime Charters" had Richard and Allison Trosko and their two sons out for a half day fishing trip in the bay. The boys had a nice catch of bluefish, really enjoyed the steady action.

Captain Fran Verdi of the "Dropoff" is already planning to start fishing for stripers after the October full moon. Until then, he will be wreck fishing and maybe trying to zero in on some blackfish.
