For those of you who know David Goldman, or have heard about the terribly long fight he has endured to gain custody of his own child and bring him back from Brazil, it looks like there is finally good news. As a father myself, this entire story has been quite emotional to read. Hardly can I even begin to imagine how David has felt. Although several times before it had seen like this day would come, each one would be met with hardship and disappointment as the case evolved into a huge legal mess. Facing political pressure and an outcry of public support it looks like Brazil is about to finally do what is morally right and give this sad and unfortunate story a happy ending.

Welcome Home Sean!

Greetings!
The Striped Bass action this year has been much better than last season. So far we have caught close to 100 Stripers and less than 20 bluefish. We can not guarantee the fishing will be this hot through out the spring migration, but we are happy to say all the fish look healthy and could provide for a great spring and fall.

Our First charter of the season, the Miller&Chitty group. Ken and his crew always try to be on the opening trip of the CAPT DAVE. First stop Roamer Shoals, a slow pick of Bass until a wind against tide condition made it uncomfortable to fish. A ride to the Back Bay area to calmer waters produced a steady pick of Bass for the rest of the day. As I always say, “The women always out fish the men” , Allie took the pool with the largest striper. Thanks Ken, always a pleasure to fish with your crew.

Next up, a charter put together by David Patasznik of Vernon, for the gang at Bloomingdale DPW. A run to the Back Bay area and the first stop produced a slow pick of bass. Another stop more to the East by the 19&20 buoy and a slow pick again. When the tide changed, a run up to the Knoll was next. After anchoring, it was clear that the conditions were better to catch fish. Within 5 minutes of chumming, the bass were heavy in our slick and hungry.There was hot action until the end of the charter. The pool winner was a Striper by Brendan Duffy, congratulations Brendan you have bragging rights until your next trip! Nice group of guys,they are welcome aboard the CAPT DAVE any time.

The Ray Morasse party of Newark. A fresh load of clams and off to the Knoll where we left the fish biting a few hours before. Anchoring up in the same spot and chumming heavy, the fish all of a sudden had lock jaw and only one bluefish was caught in over an hour. Checking my log book, and a move to the south east, the conditions were much better. As soon as we got the lines in the water, they were tight with fish. There was hot action for the rest of the afternoon. Matt Panlak Hackensack was the pool winner on this charter with another fine Striper!

Striped Bass

THIS FRIDAY, MAY 10, GOOD FRIDAY, WE WILL HAVE AN   OPEN BOAT STRIPED BASS TRIP ! FULL DAY. 7AM TO 2 PM.  ALL RODS, REELS, BAIT, CHUM, TACKLE, ICE, AND FILLETING OF CATCH INCLUDED.  COME FISHING BY YOURSELF OR WITH A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND. THESE TRIPS IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN VERY SUSCESSFUL, NOT ONLY WITH THE NUMBERS OF STRIPED BASS, BUT WITH EVERYONE HAVING A GOOD TIME, TONS OF LAUGHS, AND NEW FRIENDSHIPS BEING MADE TO BOOK FUTURE FISHING DATES TOGETHER. PRICE IS $100.00 PER ANGLER, AND YOU MUST CALL OR EMAIL ME TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT.  TIME TO CATCH THOSE STRIPERS!

Hello to all my fishing friends out there! It won’t be long now! The “Just One More” will be back in the water by April 1 and that is less than 3 weeks away. We are already booked and planning to do some early winter flounder trips. I have been talking to some clammers and a commercial fisherman who say they are getting the flounder in their rakes and nets. So they are there. Some nice ones too, up to 3.5 lbs.  Some striped bass are already being caught along the beaches in the back of the bay. That water warms up the earliest and the “Just One More” will be there in early April also. As we get closer to the season, charter dates fill up more quickly. Four were booked this week alone so I would suggest you reserve your bass date as early as you can so you get the date you want.
