Despite several days of high winds and some nasty weather, the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are making plans for the fall fishing season.
Captain Dave Wittenborn reports he has moved the "Compass Rose" north to Sandy Hook for the fall striped bass season. This is the fourth season he has done this and reports he has experienced some very good striper fishing. H will be keeping his boat at the Oceanview Marina in Sea Bright which is a short ride to the fishing grounds. Meanwhile Captain George Finck of "Sparetime Charters" took Al & Karen Heim of Cincinnati out to the Little Egg Reef recently for some bottom fishing. Besides releasing quite a few summer flounder, they had a nice catch of sea bass and porgies. Another day Captain George had his son Steve and friends out for some overnight canyon fishing. They put a yellowfin tuna in the boat early and spent the rest of the night catching three mahi-mahi and two small mako sharks.
