"Big Robbie fully involved
with a Montauk monster," Rob Netzel, who sent the shot, said.
The 250-pound blue shark was caught and released.

Fisher Price Charters,
Highlands, kept belting away at big striped bass in the ocean this past week. Thad Strang's charter jigged three keepers to 30 pounds and scores of bluefish.

Another charter on the
Fisher Price, Nate Attanasio's group, bunker chunked six keeper bass to 20 pounds. It's summer, and most boats stop chasing stripers by now, but Fisher Price hooks some of its best catches then, and will keep after them through mid July, when the bass will finally escape north.

Um, a charter on the Fish Monger, Brielle, got into a few fish last week on Friday. The anglers lambasted 12 striped bass to 36 pounds, a limit of the fish, released a few more, drilled all the blues they could want, bagged six fluke and released shorts, and picked up a few sea bass and ling. "Great day on the water," the captain said.

Trophy striped bass fishing
couldn't have been better
for Reel Fantasea Charters,
Barnegat Light, in the ocean this past week. A 52-pounder, a few 40s and plenty of 30s and 20s were landed. Charters had to run north, but the fishing was chaos!

Tom Breeland with the 52-pounder caught with Reel Fantasea. The whopper was both his and Reel Fantasea's personal best. Joe Franke was the other angler on the trip and also drilled 20- and 30-some-pounders that were the biggest he ever landed. The two anglers left the trophies biting.

This group with Reel Fantasea doubled, tripled and even quadrupled up with huge linesiders, releasing all
but four, including a beautiful
40-plus-pounder.

What a week for Reel Fantasea.

A 12-pound, 5-ounce,
32-inch striped bass that
Garry Winkler reeled in from the Point Pleasant Canal last week.
A 5-3/4-inch Fin-S Fish in an
alewife pattern did the trick. Who says stripers left the canal?

Bluefin tuna fishing
started to turn on at inshore spots like Massey's Canyon. Kim Bulifant weighed in this 45-pounder at Sterling Harbor Bait & Tackle, Wildwood, that came from Massey's on a trip Big Bully II, Wildwood, that went 3 for 4 on the fish while trolling ballyhoos behind blue Islanders. The bluefin was her first.

Most trips on the party boat Golden Eagle, Belmar, were bailing bluefish both day and night, but sometimes striped bass were belted. Twenty-five keeper linesiders to 28 pounds were bagged over the weekend. Carl Burkhart grabbed this 22-pounder.

John Lewandowski decked a pair of big bass on the Golden Eagle during the weekend. Trips are running for blues and bass 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily and for blues 7:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily.

Photo from a Delaware Bay flounder trip on the the party boat Bonanza, Fortescue. The fishing came alive a little starting last Friday through the weekend, and lots of shorts bit, like they did everywhere in the state because of the larger size limit this year, but more keepers than before were bagged on the boat's trips that run 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

Anglers with Jersey Cape Guide Service, Sea Isle City, took a trip for something a little different on Friday: dusky sharks at the Northeast Lump off Cape May.

The sharks weighed up to 25 pounds, and small bluefish were also hooked to keep the bait supply stocked and also for fun.
