Another GREAT crowd aboard the Cock Robin!! A little more elbow
room than Saturday which was good because BIG MAN JoeLongo
was aboard for the catching!! Two fish limit for Joe and enough
BLUES to fill two fillet bags!!
Buddies Joe and Frank were putting in their 3rd rail day in 5 days
aboard and were again rewarded with BASS!
The men of Spatafore were in their usual starboard port space
and young Arties report started us off.
Local legend Joe Camarata made an in person appearance and
showed the boys aboard how to manage the stern.
Long-time Cock Robin supporters Louie, Dan and Rick made the
trek fom Collegeville, Pa and were rewarded on the starboard bow.
Making the yearly pilgrimage from Westchester, NY, closet soccer
dad Mr Healy braved the trip with birthday boy and son Jerry
and his posse of Paul, brother Shane, Kevin and super angler
Austin! This 6 pack of anglers created their own entertainment
working the port side with highlights of Austins 40+" BASS and
fish skin hats all around!!
Winning Sundays pool was Nate SKEETER Holley a Cock Robin
FaceBook Fan with his own 40+" BASS!! Oh Nate also caught his
FIRST BASS EVER on the trip, than proceded to take home a

Captain Jim continued to work the southern fishing grounds for
stripers and MONGO blues.
An allstar cast of anglers were aboard including Ken Hauser, Dave
Lewis, Captain Phil, Joe McKeone, John Jannelli, Contractor Mic,
Canoli Mike (nope, I don't know the story behind that one) and
more.
Before we could get our slickers on, Captain Jim jumped some
working birds and bluefish of all sizes were thumping the decks.
Matt Ruggie started us off with BASS, putting a 29" in da box
before 8:30a which prompted a remote facebook comment. NICE
Chandra Emerich, fishing with boyfriend Dave Gonzalez and buddy
Max Hellstern jigged up a 36" bass, yup THREE FEET OF BASS!!!
We were in the catching mode until 12:30p or so when the Lake
Atlantic we were on went even FLATTER and we totally lost the
drift conditions and fishing became, well...fishing.
Check out the picture of Carl Burkart's 1/2 fluke.....Dangerous

And CONGRATULATIONS to longtime Cock Robin regular Shady
Atallador who DID NOT get seasick!!!

BLUES- BASS- BLUES
Heavy boat traffic on Saturday had Captain Jim seeking
opportunities away from the fleets. Fishing locally produced
bluefish but we were hunting stripers. Acting on intel to the far
south, Captain Jim plotted the course and away we went! Once
we got on the scene the bass that had appeared disappeared just
as quickly! A move back to the north put the fisherman on the
bass and blues despite continued heavy trolling and fleet
pressure.
Sunday dawned bright and WARM and the Father and Son Trip
Part 2 was on! The Horning boys flanked dad, Art Jr and Sr
Spatafore were back (nice bass Artie JR!, see the gallery),
Valerie Morris (yes we know she is not a son, but she fishes like
a boy!!) introduced the new boyfriend to father Robert...smart
move, Neil and Jorden Thomas owned the port bow and kept the
crew filleting after the trip!, the Motchinik men were in their
usual mid ship, port side position, Joe and Tim Dorenwerl joined
us, and rounding out the Father and Son teams was Tim and
Stephen LaPella....um Stephen...8 to 5?! C'mon!
South we went to the grounds before the fleet could form up and
were met by MONGO blues. Deck filled with flopping 8-12lb
pounders!! A few moves proved the first of the days bass and
continued gorging bluefish. Every drift provided plenty of action
with the pool bass going 31"! Pablo Valazquezcame out from the
night and kept his five requested fish all the while putting on a
"...this is how you do it clinic..", Sunday regulars Angel
Hernandez and Christian Amagante filled the bluefish orders they
were given and Al Savary and fishing buddy Terry Breidinger
improved their score from their previous trip. Oh and Robert
Yenser WON the pool!

BLUES- BASS- BLUES
Despite the weathermans gale warning, a great group of anglers
braved the deep to hunt bass!! Shockingly, no one lost their hat in
the gale....
EXCELLENT day on the water for the Cock Robin with the first
omen being bait pinned inside the north side of the jetty. That
drift provided us with only bluefish but gave us great hope for
the day.
Pushing south Capt Jim did the "...See the birds, Read the fish,
Pray we drift right..." game and we had a steady pick of various
bluefish models.
It turned out that it was Father and Son Day aboard the Cock
Robin with family combos of KHarps and Big Dawg DHarps
(stripers and blues), locals Mark and John Kizmann (stripers and
blues), Cock Robin regulars John and Frankie (1st keeper)
Entwistle and family friends as well as Cock Robin regulars Steve
and Pete Saeridies (blues) and Gilberto Sr and Jr Comayagua
(blues) all joined in the catching.
Using his XRay vision, Capt Jim spotted working gannets WAY,
WAY south and put the hammer down and put the anglers on DA
BASS!! Uber angler and provider of the best hot dogs I have
ever eaten in 30 knot winds, Jim McCarthy started us of with
the striped ones. There is still ongoing controversy as to a
missed bass at the boat that apparently EVERYONE witnessed
EXCEPT the guy with the net.....I still think there were hot dog
bribes on this deal...
The Wisnofsky boys did managed a good catch of blues and a
few short stripers working the port side all day.
Returning Cock Robin friend Sharif Fahmy brought along a buddy
and put some blues aboard.....Sharif that bass is waiting on
YOU!!! Contractor Mic, we have a BASS emergency!
BASS are HERE and we are :

Beautiful
day on the water and Captain Jim headed south to the Island Beach State
Park grounds looking for the action. Unfortunately the bass and blues
had another agenda today
We did manage a short and a lost 15lb BASS at the boat as well as a decent scratch of blues.
Fishergals Aubrie and Maura Weymiller from Franklinville enjoyed the
day from school and showed dad how it was done and I suspect there will
be a few "fish" stories around that dinner table tonight.....
Continued westerly winds will keep the seas calm and the BASS more and more plentiful.
School is out for the next two days, so take the opportunity to take a kid fishing and join us!

Captain Jim found some Bluefin Tuna having brunch within sight of
home base. Everyone tried to jig one up but they were too
smart, following the jig to the boat and giving the fisherman a
quick, "SEE yA"
Spotty reports of bass in our waters, however the NY action has
heated up and we are expecting ours to show up any time now.
Oh, I also dropped off 8 (EIGHT) SHOPPING BAGS FULL OF
DONATED GOODS TO ST GREGORYS PANTRY today!!! THANK

Artie!!
Angel once again produced another greenhorn, Pedro who crushed blues to
10lbs on a yellow tailed 47 all day long as if he had been fishing for
25 years!
Weather looks good for the week and the reports of more bass to the north should find their way to us this week.

of canned goods for the St Gregorys Pantry donation program.
THANK YOU TO WHOMEVER YOU ARE!
FINALLY we made it out!!!
We were met with the usual unorganized bird life typical of this time
of year. Read fish and bait, set the drift....NOBODY HOME...if this
were trick or treating we were definitely getting the TRICK!!
Played this game on a few more readings/ bird action with limited
success on mini model blues before heading to the
north.
Better pick of blues began to show for Longtime Cock Robin friends Budd
Brandon and Tom Morello, as well as for Don Henkel and Horst Lueke.
Then....Contractor Mic announced he had a BASS on and promptly guided a 30" model to the awaiting net!!
Young Hasan Intisar treated his friends Frank DellaPorta and Paul Miller to a day of jigging and managed a respectful catch.
Cock Robin greenhorn Sherif, brought his new BOGAN rod along and broke it and his new reels in with a
handful of blues to 6lbs. Welcome Sherif!
Not the bassing day we had hoped for but good enough to get the jigging juices flowing and wanting MORE!

Please help us promote this great new feature.
Saturday looks like a wash-out, Stay Home!

Monday and the week ahead look good and unconfirmed

Fishing over the weekend was GREAT!!
Catching over the weekend was SLOW, but most put a catch
together. Fish mainly taking the jig, however those working bait
in the chum slick were rewarded.
Thanks to your generous donations, we are off to a GREAT start
in aiding the efforts of the St Gregory's Pantry canned goods
and non perishable program for those local families in need.
We will be dropping off the first of what we expect will be many
donations this week.

Issue's beyond our control will keep us tied to the dock until

We appreciate your patience and we will be back at it on

Welp, with MUCH anticipation we set sail into the WINDY blue
yonder this morning looking for Fat Albert and Da Bonz.
Yesterdays less than stellar albie reports had us rethinking our
career choices....
Despite
our best efforts of playing hide and seek, Sir Albert won
todays game
as we could only muster a dozen or so albies and
one lone bone.
Those
that sailed with us today did a great job of jigging and
drifting
baits, we just couldnt get the fish to respond to our best
efforts
We are down for the next two days making a repair and will be
lit up on Saturday morning to have at it again!
September 24, 2009
BLUEFISH- ALBIES- BLUEFISH
Tuesday had us heading north and east to find the BIG BLUES
again. Majority of fish were caught on bait with those working
jigs being rewarded as well.
Wednesday's SIR ALBERT and Da BONZ EXPRESS TOUR was a
GREAT SUCCESS, with the ALBIES taking center stage and a
brief appearance of Da BONZ keeping everyone working for more!

BLUEFISH- ALBIES
Fishing remains GOOD, although Sunday was BAD
Friday saw Sal Pignatano from Brooklyn, NY return to
defend his
past Friday pool winning status and triumphed AGAIN. (ehhh,
SHRIMPMAN, what happened to you?!)
Saturday had a good number of NJFishing.com members aboard
and a slow
start led to a better finish, best discribed as a slow
pick.
Sunday had us traveling offshore in search of bigger fish. NO
current
and lake like conditions hampered our best efforts and
off we went in
search of better conditions...and fish.
Unfortunately we were met with
a SCREAMING tide change that
had the chum slick moving like rapids in a
waterwater river! It
was a beautiful day for a boat ride though....
Light crowd on Monday caught em up on the jig and the weather
is looking great through the weekend.
TOMORROW is:

BLUEFISH- ALBIES
Had to take down one BLUEFISH today as conditions were just tough...
with yesterdays smorsgaborg (is that spelled correctly?!) of
BLUEFISH, WEAKFISH, ALBIES and SPANISH MACKERAL we
left today with HIGH HOPES!
Unfortunately the weather gods pushed the winds and seas a wee
bit earlier than we would have liked.....
Those that were able to manage their jigs at the rail were
treated to Blues and Albies, however conditions just weren't
working in the fishermans favor today.
We sailed light today and pushed the envelope, just couldnt put
together a meaningful catch for all..

Labor Day Weekend 2009 is over and the Crew of the Cock Robin THANKS EVERYONE who came out to fish with us!!
Seas were not always favorable however those that put their time on the rail were treated to GOOD to EPIC catches.
MANY old friends
joined us and new friends were made aboard the Cock Robin over the
weekend and we had as much fun with you all as we hope you had with us!!
Fall fishing is upon
us and we are watching the albies and bones carefully, as well as the
bluefin tuna, willing them to come within 30miles of home base so we
can put some trips together.
It wont be long before we have reports of the striped ones mixing it below the blues and we are ready to go STRIPER HUNTING!!!

BLUEFISH- BLUEFISH- BLUEFISH
Welp, AUGUST 2009 is officially over and we closed it out in style!! "SUPER FISHING" (Capt Jim) again today!!
BUT, and you know it was bound happen, the fishing turned off on the
turn of the tide...GOOD thing was......
WE HAD ALL WE COULD HANDLE BY THEN!!!
Todays pool went to Ed Hagan, Toms River, NJ with a 15lb WHOPPER and 12 more in the box. NICE
Paul Dekmatters, Marlboro, NJ had 6 fish to 10lbs....
Oh, Paul is 8 yrs old!!! Atta Boy, Kid!
Lots of fish still around and, dare we say...
STRIPERS around the corner!!
(and yes, i am bending Capt Jim's ear on inshore tuna/ albie and bone trips, stay tuned)
August 30, 2009
EPIC
BLUEFISH- BLUEFISH- BLUEFISH
Tropical Storms, Hurricanes what else can the Weather Channel throw
at us to try and discourage folks from enjoying the SUPER EXCELLENT BLUEFISHING we have going on now?!!
Saturday morning had us
nervous not for the weather but for participation! At 6:45a we are at
the "this sucks, we want to go fishing" stage as we had less than a
dozen folks taking the "risk" (Jim Cantore, when will you finally
retire?!). With Capt Jim working the fleets 411 system we found
virtually everyone else in the same position and it was deemed the COCK
ROBIN WOULD SAIL!!!
With 30+ people we were off in the reported
10ft+ seas that were no more than a chop and couldnt muster enough
height to cause spray over the bow!!
Arriving on the fishing
grounds we doubled checked our positioning because WE WERE ALL ALONE in
what is normally a parking lot at Xmas at your local mall!
We
rang the door bell and invited ourselves to a comfortable anchorage and
before we came tight those rigged with jigs were already HOOKED UP!
Oh,
rain you ask, nope although we left in a shower, it didnt rain during
the trip, (are you getting ALL THE FACTS Jim Cantore?!). Wait, sorry I
lied, it rained for 10 minutes on our way home,
Bait or jig, it was a SUPER GREAT DAY of CATCHING.
Thank you all who BRAVED the non elements to join us on such a memorable trip.
SUNDAY-
Day
2 of the "Weekend Washout", dawned bright and sunny and with 20 some
anxious folks we broke the inlet in calm, nicely timed swells that made
for a nice boat ride to the fishing grounds.
With a few more "hardy"
soles braving the various elements, we arrived at the grounds and
dropped the hook and with a Capt Jim twist on our usual anchor system
we had ......well, i well share this email from longtime Cock Robin
angler, Michael from Saddlebrook, NJ describing Sundays action...
"...After Thursdays "Can't get better than this" trip, I need to redefine the way we measure a great day of bluefishing.
Capt.
Jim again made the 15 mile journey north to where the bluefish have
been hanging for the past few weeks. Twenty or so on the Cock Robin
made for comfortable conditions with almost perfect weather, and with
such a long time between swells the ocean seemed calm. We had the first
fish within a minute and the action didn't stop until we pulled up
anchor. After fighting 30 fish, I actually stopped fishing for about an
hour. I think everyone aboard had as many as they wanted.
One of the
Cock Robin's regulars, Angel, hooked a sea bass and before he could get
it into the boat, it was bit in half by a bluefish. That's how savage
these fish were.
Thanks to Capt. Jim, again, and to mates Johnny and Bill who earned their way today.
Michael..."

Wednesday's fishing was "EPIC" and we expect the fishing to remain GREAT!!
We love getting email from you, GOOD or Bad. We read it, share it with the crew and learn from every communication we get.
Today
we received from LONG, LONG- TIME Cock Robin fisherkid/man, Jim Chapman
this encouraging memory of his trip from Friday (you know, the day
Hurricane Bill crippled the East Coast...). we can only aspire to live
up to his praise.
Click HERE for a picture of Jim, his wife Monika and buddy Julian along with Cock Robin mate great, Doug Wilson.
"...Hi Captain and Crew.
This is Jim Chapman out of Philly. We were on your boat this past
Friday. My wife Monika and my good buddy Julian came along. Monika had
never caught a Bluefish before, and Julian had never been fishing
before… I wanted them to have a good experience and they did! You and
your crew continue to provide a 5-Star experience. Monika caught more
fish than I did! You, along with Doug, Paul, Eric and John were
incredible. You guys coached Monika and Julian and they listened to you
guys and landed big fish! Thanks! I manage restaurants in Philly and
you guys understand customer service better than my staff do. I wish
that I could bring my WHOLE team (servers, bartenders, cooks, etc.),
down for a trip, so that they can see the REAL meaning of Hospitality
and Tourism! You guys are still the finest boat and crew in the fleet.
I still have a smile on my face. I truly think that you guys are
Wizards! One of the reasons I say that is because on one instance, I
broke my line and Doug told me that I still had a fish on it. He not
only managed to hold the line with one hand, but he RE-TIED the line to
my line and I landed the fish! Holy Cow! We will be back soon. Many
thanks!
Jim Chapman, Philadelphia, PA...."

Tuesdays report comes from Cock Robin regular, Joe Longo:
"...Sailed with a light crowd today, I would say maybe 15, thanks Capt Jim,
it was well worth it. Headed to the north to join the rest of the
fleet. Fishing ranged from a steady pick to "stupid" fishing at times.
A couple people were jigging with most using bait, including myself. I
really couldnt say how many I caught, it was alot. Kept my limit of 15,
with a nice seabass thrown in. Couldnt ask for better weather or a
better trip. It defintely made up for my last two trips. From what I
saw, everyone left with some fillets. Johnny and Erick were great,
stayed on one spot all day. Hope to get out there again soon...."
THANKS JOE!!!
