Anglers enjoying potent offshore fishing action

23.02.23

Offshore fishing has been the talk this past week. Those who are getting out are saying it's the best action they have seen so early in several years.

Captain John Sowerby, of "Hooked Up II" out of Cape May, reported that fishing was great for yellowfin tuna, mako sharks and a ton of smaller bluefin along the 20-30 fathom lines off Cape May. He said he had some of the "absolute best tuna fishing" he has ever had this early in the season. Although, he reported the complete opposite about drum fishing. He said they hardly caught any drum and had to cancel the remainder of his drum charters due to the lack of fish last weekend.

Captain Skip Jastremski, of "Stalker," out of Snug Harbor in Cape May, reported much of the same about the drum. He said he had a lot of trips with only one to three fish caught. He believes the fish moved out because of the quickly rising temperatures of the water. One of his anglers did catch a 30-pound cobia, a fish known to inhabit warmer waters, during one of his drum fishing trips. Captain Jastremski is now moving on to chartering eight-hour deepwater fluke fishing.

Sporty conditions lead to good action in OB3 Saltwater Classic

23.02.18

— Tough conditions, but good action greeted anglers aboard the 32 boats taking part in the 7th annual Offshore Big 3 Saltwater Classic Saturday.

For long time Fort Pierce angler Tom Kenney and his crew aboard Offshore Warrior, the sporty conditions combined with cold water temperatures off the Fort Pierce Inlet meant they would head south looking for clean, warmer water.

Tournament rules allowed boats to run out of any of the three Treasure Coast inlets. Most boats chose to head out of Fort Pierce and head south.

“We found good water off Jupiter, and there was plenty of fish to catch down there,” explained Kenney, who has won two SKA National tournaments held here in Fort Pierce. “The hard east wind made things tough, but when we got there and saw the strong current, I knew there would be fish there.”
