Thanks to our many members for their continued updates to the current striper fishing conditions, especially you folks who have been logging in with such success in the Delaware Bay! I finally broke away from work on the 18th and got down to Fortesque. We booked a charter with Cap’s Lady (Captain Pat Tierno and Captain Larry).
I have said it before but this is one of the most comfortable charter fishing boats I have fished on. The crew does an unending job of working to keep you on the fish. We had great weather and a great day. Started off I caught 2 shorts (24″ and 26″), however some of my buddies were able to do much better. Mike came up next with a 38″ Striper – we didn’t have it weighed but I am guessing it was 30 plus pounds. I must compliment Mike on landing such a nice fish considering he was fishing with what I politely refer to as a ”bluegill rod”…..Mike is a freshwater fisherman typically and was using extremely light tackle…but all the more fun for him and us to watch as he fought to bring the fish into the boat. Bill came up next with a 33″ fish and then Mark with a 35″. We headed out at 8:00 and had caught these 5 fish by 10:30 before the bite slowed down.
We had plenty of fresh bunker, some crabs and eel, however we were doing well with the bunker so most of us stayed with that. Excellent day…good fishing and a great crew. If your looking to get out and have a party of six or more I strongly recommend Cap’s Lady, contact Captain Pat Tierno at (856) 447-0062.
Mike, Mark & Bill
