Capt. Joe Pritchard, Schmedley Charters

There have been some decent size sea bass taken off the reef and some other hangs. Most of the stripers are up the Delaware River doing their happy thing, but there has been a pick at some nice size fish. The Drum bite has had a late start, but things are finally starting to go. Wednesday, we had a couple small puppy drum. Saturday night the bite was fairly decent. We had 4 small puppies and 1 Mama tipping the scale at 74 pounds. So much for the fuel prices. I counted 147 boats out on Saturday night! I think the bite is really on the upswing now. So, pick a date and give me a call. For those of you who can't get a crew, call for details about make up trip Wednesday. 609-463-0857
