PROWLER 5 - 6/21/09 - FISHING REPORT, Capt. Scott

Hey gang. Here's one of the pictures from Friday night's 3:30 trip. Had 20 keepers that night. Dennis (regular Dennis) of Clifton boated a beautiful 38.4 lb. bass. The biggest one he ever caught. Maybe Dennis can post a picture up of his fish... I'm having a hard time getting it off my email. Yesterday's fluke pool winner was Eric Peters. Only a couple of boats sailed today with the weather. Looks very bad for today's 3:30 trip with 30 mph north wind right into Monday and Tuesday. Can't catch a break with the weather. Thanks. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - 6/20/09 - 7:30 - FLUKE REPORT, Capt. Scott

Hey gang. Today we ended up with 14 keeper fluke and a 150 throw backs. Took a little bit of a ride, one drift we caught 60 shorts and two keepers. It's a shame we have to throw all these fish back. All in all a fun day out on the water fluking today. Can't catch a break with all of this bad weather. Tomorrow the forecast is for 25 out of the north, which is not going to be good. But, we will be shaping up in the A.M. anyway. No 3:30 boats sailed from Atlantic Highlands Harbor this afternoon. Had the Prowler 5 out last night and boated 20 nice keeper stripers on clams. Which is good. P.S. July 3rd we will not be sailing for the fireworks. We will be fishing for bass and blues 3:30 to 9:00 trip. So come on down to fish that night. It should be good, no boats around where we'll be fishing. July 4th we will be fishing the 7:30 trip and are sold out for the fireworks. Thanks. Capt. Scott.

Dennis Fuchs of Cranford took the pool with a nice 20 lber. Everybody caught fish. P.S. Jimmy, 7 foot seas my butt, the ocean was like a pond today. You missed a great bass trip. Thanks, Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - 5/28/09 (7:30) BASS REPORT, Capt. Scott

Hey gang. It was a rainy, foggy stripper kind of day. I always tell people to come down on days like today because this is when the stripers bite the best. They bit real good, big fish.

Hey gang. It was a very good bass day today. Had a lot of big keepers with throwbacks today. Kevin Koch of Washington Township was today's pool winner with a 21 lber.

Chris Newkirk of Dover, NJ was today's pool winner. Had a lot of regulars on the boat today. They've been coming out since our prior trips, when we were banging them. Like Capt. Ron of the Fishermen posted - We just have to tough it out for the next few days. I checked my books from last year and we had the same thing about this time last year. Hopefully, it will bust open any day (like we had it). Thanks. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - SAT. (BOTH TRIPS), MOTHER'S DAY BASS REPORT, Capt. Scott

Hey gang. We're out here today on Mother's Day. It's blowing about 40. It's early, 10:00 a.m. So far we have five short bass and five bluefish on the slack water. Nice crowd of people showed up today to go out. Yesterday's morning trip (Sat.) on our first drop we had six nice bass on the boat. Plus a lot of bluefish action. Should have stayed on that first drop. But made four or five moves and had just a couple of fish each drop. All in all a slow day on the morning trip. But yesterday's 3:30 trip was much better. We ended up with 19 keepers and 100 - 150 bluefish. Kevin Koch of Washington Township took the pool with a 20 lb. striper, had his limit and caught 20 bass for the night. Ended up with 16 keepers for Mother's Day, plus shorts. Started to catch them when we had the wind and tide together. Emanuel Jorge of Hillside won the pool with a 16 lb. striper today. His wife Grace had her keeper today (and I told Glenn that you got your keeper Grace). Monday's weather will be less windy and should be a good day to come out fishing. Thanks. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - 5/08/09 (7:30 TRIP) BASS REPORT, Capt. Scott

Hey gang. It started red hot today, like its been. Had good action for the first 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Its starting to fizzle out in the afternoon here. But we still have 35 keepers on board today.

PROWLER 5 - 5/03/09 (7:30 TRIP) BASS REPORT, Capt. Scott

A lot of keepers again today, plus throw backs and even caught some blues. Tiffany Bender of Lake Hopatcong outfished the men today and took the pool with a 15 lb. bass. Good going Tiffany. Always like to see the girls or the kids take the pool. I'll make sure Capt. Jimmy Elliott knows that you won too - I'll give him a call later.

Hey gang. We were out today. It was very windy. Fishing was slow for us today, we made four drops. We started to catch a few nice togs at the end of the day when the wind started to die down. Today's pool winner was a nice 8 lber caught by Dave Bender of Aberdeen. Plus, there were a few cod and some ling. Tomorrow looks like a much better day weatherwise.
