Throughout the first hour, many trout were brought to the scale, generating lots of smiles and anticipation for the afternoon ahead.

A nice tog caught aboard Parker Pete’s Sportfishing out of Belmar this past Monday. This time of year, it’s helpful to keep expectations in line with the calendar. It’s winter and fishing is slow. There have been better reports on blackfishing but it’s still hit or miss. On the   bright side, the weather has been outstanding for the middle of January. While this week’s sunny skies and warm temps haven’t’ helped the ice fishing, the freshwater guys have been doing pretty well with bass, trout, crappie and perch. You just have to take your fun where you can find it.

  The Jan. 2 tog trip aboard the Mimi VI out of Point Pleasant Beach produced this nice catch. Winter is upon us and, as can be expected, fishing has slowed down. Blackfish are currently the main target for offshore anglers along with cod, pollock and porgies. Small stripers continue to be caught in the surf but there aren’t a whole lot of fish, nor fishermen for that matter. Before I get to the report, the New Jersey fishing community suffered a great loss at the close of 2020 with the sudden passing of Capt. Chris Hueth of the Big Mohawk out of Belmar.
