Fall is now officially here, and that means several things to the captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association.
First, is that Thursday, September 25, is the final day of the summer flounder season in New Jersey. This season has been a decent one for these favorite targets of the BHCFA. Captain Steve Palmer does not plan to let this fluke season end without a special trip planned on the “Miss Beach Haven.”
Captain Steve has a Fluke Mania trip for the last day of fluke fishing. He will have prizes, food, drinks, and a good time for all. The trip can be booked online at www.missbeachhaven.com.
Captain Brett Taylor of “Reel Reaction Sport Fishing is back fishing with his new Yamaha outboard. He had Luke Warwick of Medford with his son Dillon on an afternoon fluke charter. They worked wrecks but could only muster 20 shorts and 1 keeper fluke. On the way in they worked the jetty and had action on bluefish to 25-inches on jigs.
Second, Wednesday, October 1, marks the reopening of the season for black sea bass. The limit will be 10 fish daily for the month of October, and then 15 daily for the rest of the year. All indications point to an abundance of these fish around the inshore structures.
Finally, the arrival of fall means cooler weather accompanied by a cooling of water temperatures. That means the fall arrival of striped bass. The captains of the BHCFA still have some openings on charters for bass, but they are filling up fast.
