PROWLER 5 - SAT. SEPT. 6TH AND SUN. SEPT. 7TH, WEATHER DOES NOT LOOK GOOD, WIND AND RAIN FORECASTED, CAPT. SCOTT

PROWLER 5 - SEPT. 2nd, FLUKE REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. It was another great one out on the water today. The boys boated about 35 keepers in the deep again today. Weather looks great for Wed., Thurs., Fri. if you want to get in them last fluke days. P.S. The wife and I will be flying to Vegas Saturday on our vacation and we'll be gone about a week. There won't be any reports until we get back. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - SEPT. 1ST, FLUKE REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Landed another big doormat today. Two days in a row. Ed Sokolowski of Fords, NJ landed an 11-1/2 lber. It was the first fish of the day. Our deckhand Brian netted it. We had more keepers the day before, but we still ended up with 32 keepers for today. Plus, it was a beautiful day on the water again. We fished out in the deep again today. Too bad the fluke season is going to end Sept. 7th because this is the time of the year you see the big fish. Maybe next year they'll give us a longer season. P.S. I'll be off tomorrow. Capt. Al and Capt. Glenn will be in control tomorrow. Weather looks good for the rest of the week. Thanks, Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 31st, FLUKE REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

It was a beautiful day on the water. Orlando Garcia of West Newark was today's pool winner with a 10 lb. fluke weighed in at Julians. We also boated a 6 and a half and had some nice fish today. Total 62 keepers for the day, plus 25 keeper sea bass and shorts and some blues mixed in. Should be good tomorrow, Monday. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 30th, CHUM BLUES BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. As I promised, Dawn Borsella of Red Bank, NJ, picture of bluefish from August 26th on the 3:30 trip. P.S. We are only sailing Friday, Saturday and Sunday 3:30 to 9:00 / 9:30 for chumming blues. Usually after Labor Day, the amount of customers drastically slows down during the week for all the party boats. But Friday, Saturday and Sunday are good days to come down. We'll be fishing the whole month of September and October for the blues. Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the 3:30 trips. P.S. There'll be some new pictures added this weekend of you guys. Thanks. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 27th, 3:30 BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Had another exotic tonight. We released a giant ray. Had him on the shark rod and got him up to the boat and cut the leader. Couldn't even guess the weight of him, 100s of pounds. It seemed like we also had a shark in the slick tonight too. The blue fish were biting but they were hitting funny, like something was scaring them. Ed Witkowski of Middletown, NJ was tonight's pool winner with a 10 lb. blue and boated 8 others. P.S. October 6th's tuna trip is sold out. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 26th, FLUKE AND BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Fluking has been tough the last couple of days. Yesterday's roll on the ocean didn't help. Today's trip we went down off Monmouth Beach. Saw a few nice sea bass, short fluke and a lot of blues. Finished up in our channel and some more shorts. Hopefully tomorrow, fluking will bounce back. As far as bluefishing at 3:30, it's been consistent, very good at the mud. Some of the other boats are catching them at the rocks also. We've been going to the mud for the last 3 and a half weeks now. Tonight's pool winner was boated by Dawn Borsella of Red Bank, NJ. She's going to email me the picture tomorrow, I'll put it up on my next report. Good going Dawn. Brian brought up an exotic on tonight's trip. Maggie was checking it out. Bluefish is the best bet right now. Some of you regulars have been asking what we're going to fish for in the day time when fluking is over. Most of the guys in our harbor fish for the weak fish, but if they're not in, we'll go jigging for bass and blues until bottom fish season opens up. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 21st, DAYTIME FLUKE REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Started out fluking in the deep. Our best drift was our first drift. We boated 25 keepers and between 125 and 150 shorts. We could not repeat the drift, there was a lot of traffic out. We just picked the rest of the day. Robert McGowan boated another nice fish, 7.5 lbs. Bluefishing has been excellent on the 3:30 trip. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 19th, FLUKE AND BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Fluke fishing has been all right the last couple of days in the deep. Yesterday's pool winner was Bob Hode of South River, NJ with an 8 lb fluke. Today's pool winner was Charles Lanzasone with a 6 lb. fluke. Good action on the fluke today. As far as the bluefish trips, it's been excellent. We have family people out tonight catching them. Saturday and Sunday was an all out slaughter. P.S. On a sad note, just before we got in today, about a mile off the cut of Atlantic Highlands I came upon one of the dead dolphins. A couple of the other captains, Capt. Ron and Capt. Bunt saw one the day before around the same location.

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 14th, FLUKE AND BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Fluking has been ok in the channels. Our best day of the year was not this Monday, but the Monday past. We boated 253 keeper fluke in the ambrose channel, in the deep. Mark filleted that day for 3-1/2 hours. We've had some slow days also, when we do not have a drift or wind against tide. Today we started catching some nice fluke in the ambrose channel in the afternoon. We'll probably head right back there tomorrow morning. As far as the 3:30 bluefishing. It has been excellent at the mud buoy. We've been sailing every afternoon except for Mondays and of course tonight we did not sail with the wicked weather. We had 8 fares and sent them home and told them to pick a better night. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 10th, FLUKE AND BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Fluking bounced back today. Had some nice keepers coming over the rail, had good action pretty much all day. Today's 3:30 bluefishing trip is very good fishing again at the mud buoy. We're the only boat out here. Had rain all the way out, but turned out to be ok, we're catching fish. P.S. Chum blues every night 3:30 to 9:00 pm every night except for Monday.

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 9th, FLUKE AND BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. We couldn't really fish out in the deep, the current was too strong this morning. For the day we released 200 - 300 17 inch fluke. All in all it was a slow day on the keeper ratio. As far as the 3:30 to 9:00 bluefish trip, it's an all out slaughter - our best trip of the year. We had five to seven on immediately. Had fish on all evening. Tonight's pool winner was Kevin Koch with a 12 lb. bluefish. Chum blues 3:30 to 9:00 pm every night except for Monday. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 7th, FLUKE AND BLUES REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Good fishing again on both trips. Fluking out in the deep again. Soon as we started to get a drift, we started to catch the keepers like we've been doing all week. Jake came out his second time this week, caught five keepers each trip. Couple gals from Texas fluked for the first time and had a great time catching the fluke. Another great day to be out on the water. Caught the blues good again at the mud buoy. It's a good time to go fishing for both species. This weekend for the fluke trip, bring the heavy rods and leave the light ones home and bring 10 to 12 ounces in led. Thanks. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 6th, 3:30 BLUES, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Our last couple of trips have been excellent for chumming blues. They finally showed up at the mud bouy, 5 to 12 lb. fish. August and September are the two best months to bluefish. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 4th, GOOD FLUKING, CAPT. SCOTT

Bucktail Bob boated seven keepers today and took the pool with a 7.2 lb. poolwinner. He was jigging all day. Sal, Miami Dolphin fan, had his limit today. Good going Sal. Couple of our NJ State Troopers had their limit today also. The kids did good too. This is a good week to come out and go fluking. The weather was great again today. Flat ocean. P.S. Blues have finally showed up at the mud buoy. This weekend, Anthony Caruso, 11 years old of Easton, PA boated five big blues. Thanks. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - AUGUST 3rd, BANNER DAY FLUKING, CAPT. SCOTT

Had em comming good for a while and then the drift got to be 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 and then had to leave. I just spoke with Capt. Jack and Capt. Glenn and they are catching 10 lb. blues around the boat. Very good fishing. August is always the best month for the blue fish. So, if you want to try for the blues, this is the time to come out. See you guys in the A.M. P.S. Capt. Glenn and his wife Liz had their first baby, a girl, Grace, born on Monday night. Thanks, Capt. Scott

Hey gang. Had real good action on the fluke today. Nothing big on the pool today, a 3 lb. pool winner caught by Grace Jorge of Hillside, NJ and we released a whole bunch of 17 to 17-1/2 inch fluke today. Too bad they don't move the law back to 17 inches, that would be a good thing. Going out on the second trip tonight for the blues.

PROWLER 5 - 7:30 BASS REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. The clamming for striped bass broke wide open today. There's been a lot of keepers caught. We will be fishing for bass for the rest of the spring. Weather looks great, come on down. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - 5/3 7:30 TRIP BASS REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. We had 25 mph winds today out of the east. The only place we could fish was far up in the back. We actually had a little bite back there. We ended up with around six or seven keeper bass, released 20 shorts and caught around 20 blues. Jeff Ireland of Augusta, NJ was today's pool winner with a 15 lb. bass. Tomorrow, Sunday, we'll probably do the same as we did today. P.S. Maybe Monday, we'll be able to get back out to the ling grounds. Last week Monday through Friday was very good ling fishing. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - 05/01 7:30 TRIP LING REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. We were on the ling grounds again today. We had wind against tide all day. But we caught the ling again. High hook in the 20s, plus we released a lot of togs today. John Freda of Bellville, NJ was today's pool winner with a 4 lb. ling. Tomorrow, Friday, we will be ling fishing again. With the forecast for Saturday and Sunday we will probably be clamming for striped bass. P.S. In the past three to four days there have been keeper bass being caught with loads of blues. Also, we will be sailing for striped bass Fri., Sat. and Sun. 3:30 to 9:00 pm. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - 4/30 7:30 LING, BLACKFISH REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Today we had excellent bottom fishing again. It was a beautiful day to be out on the water. It was just us, the Angler and the Star out of Atlantic Highlands today. We had 26 people and fishing was very good for the ling and tog. Bradley Weaver of South Boundbrook was today's pool winner with a 5 lb. tog. We boated a 6 lb 2 oz fluke that we released. This was the last day we were able to keep the blackfish. Going forward it is only ling. As far as the 3:30 to 9:00 trips, we are catching a lot of blues in the back bay around the kills with short bass mixed in. We'll continue to fish for the ling until the daytime bass fishing breaks open. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - 4/27 7:30 LING, BLACKFISH REPORT, CAPT. SCOTT

Hey gang. Not a lot of the boats sailed out of our harbor today in Atlantic Highlands. We were lucky enough to be one of them with 17 customers. We fished Scotland grounds today and had good fishing for blackfish and ling. The ocean was a lot nicer today than Saturday. Carlos Raposo was today's pool winner with a 6 lb. tog. P.S. We will not be shaping up tomorrow, Monday. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - 4/26 7:30 TRIP REPORT

Hey gang. We hit the Scotland grounds first thing this morning. Had the ling coming pretty good on the first wreck, then we moved to the second wreck in 50 feet of water and had the blackfish coming and also caught a couple of cod. I watched Mark catch 20 blackfish on the second drop in an hour. But with the east wind it was very cranky. We left around 12:00 to go back to the bay. If we can't get out there tomorrow, we'll have to go way up in the back and fish for bass and blues. We'll make that call in the morning. Thanks. Capt. Scott

PROWLER 5 - 4/25 7:30 TRIP LING AND BASS REPORT

Hey gang. Daytime bass fishing has been off the last week or so. Until it improves, the Prowler 5 will start on the Scotland grounds and fish for ling and blackfish. Ling fishing hs been very good when conditions are right. So for the next few days we will start out putting fish in the buckets and then in the afternoon we'll try some bass spots on the knoll. P.S. With the price of diesel fuel at nearly $5 a gallon our 3/4 day fare will be $55 for full; $47 for seniors and $27 for junior fare. Thanks. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - 4/23 7:30 - 2:30 STRIPED BASS REPORT

Hey gang. It was a nice day to be out on the water today. Finally got some nice weather. We had 18 customers aboard today. We fished all the way up in the back, where we caught them Saturday night's trip. Read fish but they didn't want to bite. We made five or six drops today. We fished out around romer and the knoll. Chester John of Anover was today's pool winner with a 12lb. bass. All in all slow day today, two keeper bass, four shorts and a couple of blues. We released our first fluke of the season around 3 lbs. Weather looks great for the next couple of days. Capt. Scott.

PROWLER 5 - 4/19 AM and PM STRIPED BASS REPORT

Hey gang. I had the boat out both trips today bass fishing. The day trip was very slow with just a handfull of shorts. The afternoon 3:30 trip was much better. We had five keepers and 22 throwbacks. A total of 27 bass boated. As soon as we get off this moon and the weather gets a little warmer things should bust out. Tonight's pool winner was Kevin Koch of Washington Township with a nice 25-1/2 lber. I will post a picture of this fish tomorrow, Sunday. Thanks Capt. Scott.
