    Excellent day fishing!

    10 Timmar – Kustnära • 4 vuxna

    Capt. Frank and mate Lincoln were at the dock early and ready and raring to go. We took a long run off shore to look for some pelagics and even though the tuna were not around we slammed the Mahi and landed a bunch of nice fish. My daughter Dana, as usual landed the biggest fish of the day, but we've been doing this for a long time so we're used getting shown up by her. Everyone bagged some Mahi so it ended up numbers fighting against quality, but your fishermen so you know all about that! A highlight of the day was a Mola Mola coming to spend some time wondering what were doing so far out in his territory. Wind picked up so we took the long run back to the shore and finished up the day for a bit of time on the fluke grounds and they were there just like Capt. Frank said they would be. Non stop hits and bites and fish and some keepers to add to the meat. Frank, and Lincoln, know what they are doing and prepared for the days plan, the boat is clean and fisherman/family friendly; top notch gear even though Im too thick headed not to bring my own. Highly recommended, go fish with Branarchy Charters, be sure to ask Frank how that name came about and have a great time. Capt. Frank, the girls ask that you send me the pictures of the catch and the Mola Mola---914-262-0598.

    Fantastic trip! Captain is awesome, got us on the fish!

    4 Timmar – Striped Bass/Flundra (FM) • 5 vuxna • 3 barn

    First time with Captain William. Captain put us on the fish immediately. The fish were all over on the fish finder, and we were rigged up and bated with no time wasted. He was prompt to leave, something that many captains do not do, and it's frustratingl to me, and he was ready to drop the hammer as soon as we got there. We did a bit of fishing in the bay that slowed down, so Captain Willuam decided to make a jog out to the reef, trolling as we went out, and put us right back on them again. Best part about the trip, was that Captain William, was INCREDIBLY PATIENT and helped my 13 year old with "rats nets", knots, lost rigs, tangles...anything a typical kid does while fishing, Captain William was very patient and helped him not just the mistakes, but also techniques to jig properly and clear snags, helping the young man become a better fisherman. Overall great guy, beautiful boat that is well maintained, and the man knows where the fish are at. Cannot wait to book another trip soon! Thanks Captain William!

    Great nearshore trip

    8 timmars tur – Kustnära/Kustnära • 4 vuxna

    Frank and his mate were great. His boat and gear were topnotch. We did an all day trip and despite some rough seas he came up with a game plan for tuna, mahi and flounder. We were on fish and had a great time. He was very informative and amusing. We will definitely book again with Frank the next time we can get down to LBI.

    Captain Frank was lots of fun and very patient with teens who were learning and mom (who had no idea what she was doing but along for the ride!) It was a great morning—everyone caught fish—-and a great experience. Thanks Captain!!

    We did a 4 hour trip with Frank and caught 2 keeper Striper 1 Keeper Flounder, a shark a skate and lost a few more flounder and lost a few along the way. Captain and deckhand were helpful and hospitable, and my family and friends had a great time what more could I have asked.

    First time fishing for Stripers at LBI. My 17 year old son and I went out for the afternoon and landed 6 big ones between us. The fish were moving around a lot, but Captain Frank always knew where to find them - close enough they were practically jumping out of the water! Don’t let the weather scare you off - great fishing in November.

Wind!

May 27, 2025 • Barnegat Light
Last few weekends have either be weather cancellations except for the few brave ones i forewarned about the conditions, some small cathes of blues and Stripers and occasional fluke. This report covers most of may. Seems like we have had rain Tuesdays through thursdays with the cold fronts clearing out with very windy conditions lasting days. Each trip we did get in we managed some stripers and blues with a couple of fluke. Still windy but not as bad as previous weekend.yesterday and quite cool for memorial day but fish seemed to cooperate with some fluke and stripers. While fishing with the crowds by the jetty taking pictures is not safe so i only have these and a couple others i put on my website. We did have one trip offshore and saw very little life. Quite rough getting back in hit the guys were happy with the stripers and blues they took home. Praying for summer weather
