Miss Belmar Princess

Another person that told us September was a tough month was Capt. al Shinn of the Miss Belmar Princess and Miss Belmar. He said besides lost days to the weather when the boats are able to fish it was often hit or miss fishing with one day doing good the next you had to work hard for the fish. When it comes to the fishing in October the boats will be bottom fishing for sea bass until the stripers move into northern waters in fore, then switch to stripers and blues.

It was a hit or miss week with the bluefish according to Capt. Al Shinn of the Miss Belmar and Miss Belmar Princess. He told us several days saw some decent numbers of blues, bonito, albies and Spanish mackerel, while other days it was hard to even find the fish. Big bluefin seem to be pushing the blues and their companions around along the inshore waters, he said. As to the fluke fishing the smaller boat saw a mix of sea bass, tog, fluke, croakers and ling on her trips.
