…with Al Tumolo showing off another nice catch of fluke caught using Esca as documented in the star ledger blog.
Wayne Smith,at Hoffman’s Marina in Brielle, didn’t have much good news from the canyon over the weekend,though some wahoo are starting to show out there. The best report was from the Impulse,which had a 50-pound wahoo and two albacore while also releasing an 80-pound swordfish. Some boaters caught school bluefins in the Compass Rose area,including Joe Vezzosi who weighed a 90-pounder.
Smith said fluking remains tough,but Capt. Bob Lake of Kimberly Ann had Ron Masseralli with him as both limited with fluke up to 8 pounds during the week at the Rattlesnake.
Capt. Joe Bogan has been scratching out some large fluke on rough bottoms in 60 to 90 feet with his Jamaica II from Brielle. Dale Isaacs of Manchester had a limit up to 5 pounds during the week. Saturday night bluefishing was good for 10-to-12-pounders,as fares averaged eight to 15 choppers. The Jamaica II has openings on a 3 a.m. Sept. 7 cod trip.
The Sea Devil from Point Pleasant had a good shot of big blues Saturday on the east side of the Mud Hole.
The most valuable bluefish was a 15.94-pounder caught by Eric Hunan of East Setaucket,Long Island to win the WICC Greatest Bluefish Contest on Earth Tournament in Long Island Sound. The winner was weighed at Caraftis Fishing Station in Brookhaven.
Dave Lilly of Hazlet and his Team Esca crew boated 17 large fluke in the depths of Ambrose Channel.
Bruce Vitale of Piscataway was intent on catching a big fluke in Chapel Hill Channel from Funny Pharm,owned by Mike Obuch of Bridgewater. He quickly caught a 20 1/2-incher that was returned since it was a half-inch short of a N.Y. keeper. Everything went downhill from there as the big fluke didn’t cooperate —and we caught only a few small fluke and three dogfish. Most unusual was Obuch’s catch of a small kingfish that was snagged on a fluke rig in Ambrose Channel —the first kingfish I’ve ever seen there.
Storfisk i havdypet er tilpasset et liv i stummende mørke. De har vokst seg store ved å bruke sansene sine i nattsvarte omgivelser. Utstyrt med lysfølsomme øyne,et sidelinjeorgan som registrerer bevegelse og en glimrende luktesans er de tilnærmet uslåelige i sitt miljø. Med andre ord er dypvannsfisket vi liker å bedrive rettet mot spesialiserte fisker som har utviklet jaktstrategier basert på alt annet enn tilfeldigheter. Fisker som lever dypere enn 150 meter kan faktisk skille et fødeemne fra et annet uten tilgang på lys. Likevel er det forbausende å se hvor lite noen havfiskere tenker på agnpresentasjon og takkeloppbygging i jakten på drømmefisken. Fokus på små detaljer kan nemlig forvandle potensielle bomturer til uforglemmelige fiskeminner.
