We Unofficially Broke The Delaware Sate Record With A Six Pound Trigger Fish.
New Winner For The August Monthly Mega Cash Pot

     Gosh, I am still scratching my head and wondering, what happened to all of the Croakers? We are marking them, but they just won't take the hook. Someone suggested that are spawning because when we were cleaning them, they were loaded with eggs.  Now, how long is the gestation period for a Croaker and aren't they getting hungary by now?  Hopefully, the Croaker action will turn on again real soon. 
     Strange things are happening in the Delaware Bay this season. We are catching lots of different species of fish that we normally do not catch along with keeper Sea Bass which are usually caught way south of us.  The weather this past week has been absolutely gorgeous and the Delaware Bay looks like a smooth lake for almost a week. Must be the calm before the storm.

     Congratulations to Rod Shanholtzer from New Castle, De., for winning the onboard fish pool this past Friday with a huge Flounder. A HUGE Congratulations to Barry Grant from Newark, N.J., with the "FISH ON" fishing club for landing a huge six pound Trigger fish. It was brought to my attention, after the fact, that this fish would have beaten the Delaware State record of 5 pounds 12 ozs. This fish was not officially weighed on certified scales, but at least Barry has bragging rights and should be very proud of his great catch. A Big Thank You to Bob Turner, President of the "Fish On" fishing club for bringing his group to go fishing on the "Reliable II".  There were also quite a few keeper Flounder caught along with a nice 17" Sea Bass. The ever so popular Fish Prize Patrol gave away lots of door prizes to the ladies and children and we even had some birthdays onboard who shared in the fun. Saturday morning headboat proved again that the Croakers were almost a no show. Some keeper Flounder were caught along with a lot of small undersized fish of all types. Saturday night charter run was a lot of fun with Roy and the gang from the Independent Fire Station #1 from Pa., What a great group of Fire Fighters!!!!!  We love you guys and Capt. Mary says hi and can't wait when you come back next year. Congratulations goes out to Steve Mendoff who has won two years in a row the hefty onboard fish pool with a huge keeper Flounder.  I am sure Steve that you will be invited next year to come back with Station #1........read more
