HOG Bluefin!! North Carolina Style….

Well for those of you that have been following the Bluefin you know that things have really picked up off North Carolina. Shore Catch’s own Capt Adam Sherer headed down there this week with tuna jigging sharpies John Flores, Glenn Kross, and Dante Soriente. The crew fished with Capt Dan Rooks from Tuna Duck Charters. Adam headed down to test some of the new cutting edge jigging rods from Spinal Rods and they went 11 for 15 on jigs with fish from 180 – 200 LBS!!!

The new Spinal Rods that Adam was using (green hat below) worked fantastic, proving that they are in an elite class when it comes to catching HOG bluefin on light jigging tackle. Please take a moment to check out this new rod company as we will be using many of these new offshore jigging rods on our charters this year.

We are looking to get back down next week so stay tuned!!

Icy HOT!!

Well while we have been getting ready for show season SWISS and DAVIE have been out there fishing!! The Ice fishing is off the charts – check out Swiss’s report and his son Trevor’s MONSTER Bass!

I have been taking Trevor on the Ice and it has been AWESOME !!! Skip Lerman, Davey (TNT) and Russ Cannici, have been teaching us the ropes, and have made Ice Junkies out of Trevor and I. Here are a few pictures of the nice fish Trevor is catching through the ice. I am blown away by the numbers of fish that will bite in a days time, this time of year. Trevor has broken his personal best Big Large Mouth about 4 times over the last two weekends. This weekend is going to separate the men from the boy’s. we got spoiled with the warm weather over the last two weeks. We will earn it this weekend.

NO REASON FOR CABIN FEVER, GO DRILL SOME HOLES IN THE ICE !!! We had 9 to 11 inches of ice fishing lakes around Lake Hopatcong, and it is getting thicker as we speak.
