This is the year's final Offshore Report!
<b>Sandy Hook</b>
Friends of Mike from <b>TAK Waterman Surf n Fish</b> in Long Branch tuna fished, plugging bluefins on Madd Mantis poppers among quite a few they found inshore on a trip, Mike said. Mike’s a surf-angler and also tuna fishes. He’s also a surfer, and went surfing in past days, instead of fishing, while seas were up. TAK Waterman is a store for fishing, especially surf-fishing, surfing and paddle-boarding. The shop also produces the TAK Waterman line of clothing for watersports including fishing.
<b>Manasquan Inlet</b>
<a href="http://www.gamblerfishing.net/offshore-sea-bass.php" target="_blank">Offshore sea bass trips</a> will fish in December on the party boat <b>Gambler</b> from Point Pleasant Beach. The year’s final tuna trip was weathered out last week on Tuesday to Wednesday aboard. The boat is currently striped bass fishing daily inshore.
<b>Townsend’s Inlet</b>
A buddy attempted to sail for tuna on a trip but turned back because of seas from weather, said Mike from <b>Sea Isle Bait & Tackle</b> in Sea Isle City. The trip stopped at a rock pile and fished for sea bass instead, walloping the fish including good-sized.
<b>Cape May Inlet</b>
A tilefish trip sailed offshore Monday with <b>Fishin’ Fever Sportfishing</b> from Cape May, cranking in 33 goldens, Capt. Tom said. The fish included a couple of 25-pounders and a handful of 12- to 20-pounders among smaller. That was the year’s final tilefish trip aboard, and the fishing will resume on May 1. Fishin’ Fever will begin striped bass fishing inshore this weekend.
