| On Tuesday, 6/23 Capt. Bittmann took a family out to the reef for a six hour charter. After a few hours of bottom fishing that produced several Flounder (5 lb. Flounder picture attached) and 30 Sea Bass, they decided to troll for Bluefish. Within an hour they caught 28 Bluefish. Lots of action and lots of fun was had by all. The Tuna fish are now approaching our waters. There were incidental reports in the past week or so, but now we have a strong report from Capt. Sowerby on the Hooked Up II. Hr caught 25 Yellowfin on 6/24. One weighed 37 lbs. (picture attahed). Another sign of warming waters; on Saturday 6/27, Slammmer weighed a 13.6 Dolphin caught by Joe Laird of Gilbertsville, PA. Our 8 hour party boat Porgy IV weighed another huge Flounder this week; 9.8 pounds caught by Rick Moody of Philadelphia. |

| The Charter Boat "Top Shelf" took the Alberti group out for a six hour trip on Friday,6-19. They caught fish from the time they got to the spot until lines-in; Flounder, Tautog, Sea Bass and Trigger Fish were the species caught. Ethan Smith and his family ventured out on the Charter Boat "Cape Queen" and caught a real nice Trigger Fish. It weighed 2 lbs,12 oz.. Ethan couldn't wait to get back to Phoenixville, PA to tell his fish story to his friends.(pix attached) The Party Boat fleet continues to run daily. The Fiesta targets Sea Bass and Flounder and sails at 8 AM and 1 PM for four hour trips. The Porgy IV is an 8 hour boat and leaves at 8 AM. He has been concentrating on Fluke and on Monday, 6-15 he weighed in a 10.8 lb. Fluke for the angler, Joe Budetta. |

South Jersey Marina held its 29th. Annual Shark Tournament on June 12 -13, 2009. There were 144 boats competing for a share of the total purse of $298,670. Predominately 3 species were brought to the scales; Thresher, Mako and Blue Sharks. There were 39 fish weighed and the top winners are listed below: Heaviest Shark Fat Cat 590 lbs. 2ndHeaviest Shark CommonSense 567 lbs 3rd. Heaviest Shark Good Times II 537 lbs. Heaviest Mako 100 Proof 232 lbs. 2nd. Heaviest Mako Edna Jane 212 lbs Heaviest Blue Rejoyce 265 lbs. For more details and pictures, go to southjerseytournaments.com In an ironic turn of events, the tournament contender Hot Works owned by Paul Rys was disqualified. His crew had great difficulty getting the 631 pound Thresher Shark into the boat, thus causing him to miss the deadline for getting to the scales. This catch would have been the heaviest fish of the contest. There will be an application filed this week with the State of NJ to register it as a new state record Thresher. |

| When it's June in Cape May, there are SHARKS in our off-shore waters. South Jersey Marina had the first Blue Shark weighed-in earlier this week. Nick Montzaris owner of the "Bu-Buca" brought in a 167 pounder. The angler was Harry Johnson of Fishing Creek, NJ. (picture attached) Speaking of shark, our 29th. Annual Shark Tournament is scheduled for June 11-14 and based on pre-registration applications, it promises to be a great event. Last year's total purse equalled over $336,000. Mako, Thresher, Blue and Hammerhead are the most frequently caught species. Our Charter Fleet is available to hire for this and all other tournaments held in the Cape May area. Call 609-884-3800 and ask for the Charter Coordinator for rates and availability. |
