Mackerel Report 12/30 Miss Belmar Princess

Capt. Jimmy of the Miss Belmar Princess just set the stage for the next Mackerel trip. He searched the area and found the concentrations.


We are on the full moon so after this it should be great. Since this was the "first trip" it was tough but it paid off for us.

First I have to thank Capt. Jimmy. He is the only one (Capt. in the area) upholding the tradition. I can't imagine what it would be like without a boat to go out for Mackerel. That is how close we are to not having the opportunity. Call me melodramatic, but it is the truth.
Mackerel and herring have fed our gamefish over the centurys, so if you discount them, you are missing the boat. Without them you would not have Cod, Big Stripers and many other fish that depend on them.
Plus we didn't do so bad. Couple of dozen fish is OK in my book. See the pictures.
For me it is more of a tradition. Like the stupid Mastercard Comercial says, To spend a day with your son and his friend and to share stories of the past... and to continue the tradition, PRICELESS. That is what it is all about.

I had a great day out. The Mackerel are here and they will be inforce ANY DAY NOW.

Don't wait till you can't get on the boat. Support Capt. Jimmy now. He deserves it.
