The boats of the Beach
Haven Charter Fishing
Association are finding
feisty bluefish ranging
from 3-12 pounds. These
fish are being caught on
metal lures, bait
strips, and clams meant
for bass or drumfish.
Captain Carl Sheppard of
the “Starfish” found
bigger blues to
12-pounds, or “gorillas”
as he calls them. He
also reports small
striped bass along with
a few black drum. The
“Starfish,” licensed for
20 passengers, received
a perfect score on its
Coast Guard inspection.
Captain Fran Verdi on
the “Drop Off” has been
working hard to get
through the bluefish to
the stripers. He
duplicated last week’s
catch of a black drum,
landing a 33-pounder
this weak. He reports
the water temperature in
Great Bay at 57-degrees.
The fishing offshore of
Oregon Inlet in North
Carolina has just
improved dramatically.
Captain Lindsay Fuller
on the “June Bug” will
be staying there for
another couple of weeks.
The catches include lots
of nice yellowfin tuna,
big mahi-mahi, and even
some wahoo. Information
on the association can
be found at
