Beach Haven Charter Boat Fishing trips on LBIThe spring striped bass season is right around the corner in the Beach Haven area and I will be gearing up for some more of
that amazing fishing we had in the fall. I still have some open charter fishing dates so if you are staying on LBI in
May or June book your charter boat trips early because they fill up pretty quickly. I am holding my fishing charter
rates the same price until June 1 where I will be forced to have a price increase due to boat insurance and gasoline price
increases. You can book your LBI charter fishing trip now and lock in last years charter boat prices for the upcoming
fishing season. The Compass Rose is currently in the boat yard and having some work done. This warm weather we
have been having hear in Beach Haven has really made me anxious about getting back on the boat and putting some fishing lines
in the water.

Epic Striped Bass Season!!!!

End of Fluke Season...Looking forward to Striped BassIt's safe to say that the usually amazing September fishery we experience in LBI was a total
disappointment. Although Hurricane Irene left little physical damage to the island, she really churning up the waters from
where we never recovered. The following Hurricane two weeks later, which caused major flooding to the Lehigh Valley, spilled
it's rainwater runoff into the local tributaries and rivers and really muddied up an already fragile situation. The bays and
inland waters looked like iced tea for weeks and the fluke moved elsewhere from where they never returned. These two storms
accompanied by another Northeaster along with additional days of lousy weather put a nail in the coffin for the rest of the
fluking season. I had to cancel several trips due to lack of fish and poor weather. I am not going to take groups out when
I know the fishing is poor. Fluke season closed on September 25 and sea bass season is closed until Nov 1. The only saving
grace had been a very steady blowfish fishery.
I am taking some time off until striped bass season which should
be getting underway in a few weeks. November is traditionally the best month to fish for stripers in LBI. Lets hope all of
this rain stops and we can get some clean water for the remainder of the fall season.

Back to Business!!The Compass Rose is back in the water after Hurricane Irene and ready to go fishing. There was little damage to the
island despite a category 1 hurricane making a direct hit. The fish should be extra hungry and I am excited to make
my first trip. We took all of the appropriate precautions for the storm and were lucky to get away with such a
small impact. Let's go fishing.

Hurricane Irene Makes Historical Landfall in LBIHurricane Irene has made landfall along the New Jersey coast
near Little Egg Inlet with 75-mph winds, the first hurricane to make landfall in the Garden State in over a century. Only two hurricanes have made landfall
in New Jersey in the last 200 years. An 1821 storm crashed
into Cape May and zipped up the route of what is now the Garden State Parkway. A 1902 hurricane struck just north of Atlantic City and ripped out piers in the beach resort.
