JUST A Reminder: We get a lot of calls this time of year about the regs. The state and feds are still bouncing them around at this time. As soon as the state finalizes them and publishes the changes, we will publish them in the regulations section of the site. This can occur as late as the end of May/early June in some years. |

Some anglers took advantage of the nice day and hit Graveling Point. No new news to pass along. Lots of worms ordered for the weekend and I hope to have fresh clams delivered on Friday too.

Fishing Report:
I decided to get the line wet yesterday afternoon at Winding River Park in Toms River. I fished for about and hour or so and I caught a 'Jumbo' Yellow Perch from shore. It was 12.5" long and weighed 15oz. I used a grub worm (dug from my backyard) to catch this fish with a #6 hook (bottom fishing).

Fishing at Graveling Point has been out of the question since Graveling has been under two to three feet of water and a high surf the past couple of days.

There were quite a few anglers hitting the point. They were trying their luck knowing that today was likely the last dry day. The bass were still chilly and offered no action today.

There are some smaller stripers being caught up the river. They are mostly being caught by the white perch fishing anglers. Any catching activity is a great fishing day to anyone that has been locked up all Winter. Better days are coming as the weather evolves into spring time temperatures.

I've been working so much on website revision files today that my eyes are blurry, ugh. Getting close to being able to work on overhauling the hunting section, though. Fishing section is almost done.

Status is holding as to Graveling Point and the stripers. Today's flurries mean no rise in water temp; it is more likely to have dropped.

For Graveling Point activity, look for forty five degree water temperatures which will only happen after a few weeks of warmer DRY weather.

There were a few folks in again for bait and they know that catching isn't very likely, however there is some peace to be found in just wetting the line and they are very content to do just that.

Check out our spring run page to see the previous years catch data to pass the time. It's still a good time to prep...Clean those reels...check over your tackle to see what you need, etc.
For the diehards that just can't wait - we should have bloodworms for bait on Wednesday, so long as the supplier is able to get it and the weather doesn't prevent them from bringing it down to us.

The marshes are a mess with ice and snow too. I just can not get motivated to catch any shrimp or minnows. Give me a couple of fifty degree days, after a few days of no rain, snow or ice, then there is a chance I could find some bait to catch.

More rain and snow on the way, joy. Not. http://www.footsforecast.org/ is calling it a "Snowicane", due to the hurricane force winds that are forecasted.
March on Washington was today. I look forward to seeing some postings from folks that made the trek.
Bloodworms and green crabs are ordered for Friday. Maybe folks will be in on Sunday to buy a half dozen worms to drown them in tradition on Graveling Point when the striper season opens Monday!

Time for a reminder, Don't forget this Wednesday the 24th is the March on Washington. As of this morning, Skip at the Chum Bucket says there is still room on the bus!
We the fisherman of the State of NJ have to try to take our fishery back from the Federal Government, and their failed sciences.
On February 24, 2010 the RFA, and United Boatmen of NJ, and organizations from other states have scheduled a MARCH on Washington.
The Chumbucket has leased a bus for the trip, and the cost is $30 per head. We have some door prizes donated that we will give away on the bus.
The Bus leaves The Chumbucket at 8am on Wednesday 02/24/2010, the Rally on the Capitol steps will begin at 12pm and end at 3 pm. At that time the buses will reload and head back to their home states.
Hopefully we can get some attention, and it will do some good. Sign up come along, you can talk fishing and politics all day. Bring a lunch, or call the Gourmet Deli in West Creek, and tell them your interested in the box lunch they will be preparing for those that want.
We really need to get our fishing rights back, or we are going to loose them all. You may wind up selling your gear and buying.....godforbid.....golf clubs.

There are some tentative summer flounder regulation proposals available for 2010. One proposal would include both Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend in the fishing season with a length of eighteen inches a bag limit of six. That is such good news compared to the other possibilities that we could have faced this year.

There have been a handful of phone calls from anglers looking for any kind of action. We have nothing to tell as the only fisheries that had any inkling of producing a fish were the white perch and some fresh water action in pickerel. The snow and ice have prevented anglers to get where they want to fish and when they do get there, there is just enough ice that they can not fish on or threw it. In other words, things are pretty quiet.

Likelihood is that if the storm is as bad as they are forecasting, we will not be opening the store tomorrow, Sat. 2/6. Scott's not supposed to shovel and you know that if he comes here, he WILL, so he's been instructed not to by Russ and the rest of us. We are in the 19.3 inch zone. I hit the grocery store yesterday to stock up, so tomorrow we'll have cocoa and coffee with pancakes at home and watch the dogs go nuts in the drifts. Everyone be careful and stay warm!

2/3/10 Message (Brian Pollock): If anyone is near a Fall or Winter stocked pond with trout they should give it a try with night crawlers. Those trout are big and were not starving like the Spring stocked trout. So they are there. You just have to be able to handle the cold. Before the recent refreeze I was out to a nearby pond and several rose to some black flies that popped to the surface. I was told by a PA fly tier that they were stone flies and that they were probably feeding on the nymphs. I retreated from the wind that picked up and didn't catch any. Regardless, it is a fishing opportunity and there are South Jersey ponds that hold trout all year around.~Nice suggestion, Brian. Thanks! ~ MizMo

Fishing Report:
By far THE BEST perch fishing I have ever experienced in 35 years. 75 perch in 3 hours from my kayak---kept 50-all 10 to 14 inches-was not expecting much after getting skunked last week-did not even bring a bag or cooler-filled up the kayak--was sitting on fish. I have caught more fish but these were huge. Not making this up. When I got in a game warden showed up. Checked my catch and life jacket. Thought i was hot stuff till a couple guys I was fishing next to pulled in. They only kept the big ones-like me everything 10 inches and up. Their boat was full!!! I mean full. Watched them offload-4 large coolers-and 3 five gallon buckets-----full-and no little ones-2 guys in a small boat(15 ft-i am guessing) crazy stuff
