First and foremost to all the Superstorm Sandy victims, we hope your doing ok and we can always rebuild. "JERSEY STRONG"!!

Well, the 2012 season was great with our new boat. We caught tons of fish this year. Numerous Boat limits of Stripers and a few BIG ones at that. Numerous Boat limits of Seabass, Fluke, and Blackfish. As well as catching some nice big blues, porgies and triggerfish. Fishing was fun this year.

The boat has been getting upgraded all season long, but some more big upgrades coming this winter. All to make it a big, comfortable, fishing machine for all of you.

Most importantly, all of our customers, you guys cannot be any better. Some, are now even friends. Without all of you, it would be tough to make a living. So, THANK YOU, so very much. We hope to better our charter fishing business every season to make it the perfect boat and crew for you.

We have T shirts, sweatshirts, hats and stickers coming in February. If you would like anything, t shirts$15, sweatshirts$25, hats$12 and stickers are FREE with any purchase. Please email me with what you would like with sizes.

At this time we are fully open for charter booking for the upcoming 2013 season. We will be back in the water by mid March 2013.

Lastly, I hope the crew and I of Fish Stix, pleased everyone with personal best catches and great times with friends and family. And we hope to do it again this year, BUT BETTER.

See you soon,

Capt Kris

Well its October and the Seabass are biting like hell. We typically use salted clams on a double hook rig with the sinker on the bottom. Some like to also add some Gulp to the hooks too. Its kind of like Blackfishing, but it really doesnt matter if your sinker is moving around. Depending on the weather, you can drift instead of dropping an anchor. If is kind of rough out, you put a spread of 2 anchors instead of one, to reduce swinging fast. Most of these soft bait thieves are around 1-2lbs but some are 2-4lbs and even up to around 6-7lbs if your lucky! Grab your favorite rod and hop on board! See you soon.

Fluke fishing was at its all time best this 2012 season! TONS of nice fish the entire summer season. Bucktailing with strips and a Gulp teaser was the ticket once again! Wait, wait, wait, I gotta hanger. SWING! Boat limits almost all the time! Some days all the fish we 3-6lbs also had double header keepers, not to mention double header 5 pounders! Thanks to everyone who came out with us it was a great summer! Check our reports from the summer to see some catches.

Off to seabass!

As we near the Spring months, the stripers will be working their way back up to the north. In April, some smaller fish show up in our area, feeding on small baits, so jigging with diamond jigs, crocs and plastics work best. Most fish average around 10lbs.

In May, it gets hot! The adult bunker show up, and so do the COWS! Throwing a 20' cast net and filling the live well works best to keep the bunkers alive, that way you are always ready for a blitz. But don't let them fool you, sometimes it HAS to be "snag and drop". Or if your lucky, you can get them up top with pencil poppers. It's awesome watching a 40lb+ Bass CRUSH your bait! These Striped Bass stay in our area from roughly May through maybe the first week of July. Fish ranging from 25 to well over 50lbs!

There's nothing like fishing inshore with big live baits, catching big Stripers! Reels screaming and big fish hitting the deck one after the other.

See you out there!
