Fellow Anglers,
Had the family down at Cape May this past week to enjoy the festivities of the Mid-Altlantic $500,00 Tournament. To say there was a armada of big boats there is an understatement. Makes my 25' Parker look like a toy!
Saw some really impressive weigh-ins including Dolphin, Wahoo, the winning White Marlin and a few Tuna. The number of Tuna was way down this year but there was no shortage of landings and releases of White Marlin by many of the entrants. I took my family to Cape May for some vacation time off (much needed) and we had gorgeous weather all week and enjoyed some great food and good conversation with some of the captain's at the tournament. Stopped by to see Mike of the Tarheel from Monmouth Beach, but fortunately missed seeing him as they had a tough week of fishing not being able to top a few of the bigger fished that were weighed in.
This is an exciting week at the Cape and if you're a real fisherman in NJ, then at least one visit there during this tournament is a must. Will be getting back to my charter schedule this week and will be reporting to you as I get word from some of my fellow captain's as to how they did this past week.
Two weeks left in the NJ Fluke season so let's get going anglers! Still a lot of nice BIG fish left out there.
Tight Lines,
Capt. John
