Good Day People, We need to change the boat for Flounder Fishing on Saturday. The Elaine B is stuck in the boat repair yard. (this is the fault of the repair yard place, not the Captain or boat), So we are changing the boat over to the Angler out of Atlantic Highlands. The hours are the same 7:30 to 2;30 (3/4 day). The fare is $50. Attached is the web site. I also spoke with some HRFA regulars that fish out of the Atlantic Highlands and they also recommend this boat (and will be there). Any questions, don't hesitate to call me. I am not at work today, but working on getting everything together for the Annual Dinner on Sunday. The link below also has directions to the Angler.

Report on this trip!! by Arnie Ulrich Captain Ian Keniston and Jared Keniston ran the full day trip today. At 5:00 AM EST, the air temperature was 43°F, the sky was overcast, it was misting, there was no wind and the visibility was fair to good in some haze/fog. By 8:00 AM, it had stopped misting and the roads were dry. The air temperature had risen to 46°F. The sky stayed overcast all day with some periods where I thought the sun would peek out - but it didn't. On the fishing grounds, the wind was light and variable, the ocean was calm and the visibility was about a half mile to mile in fog and haze. The air temperature was cool all day. The sea surface water temperature reached a high of 44.3°F again. The high air temperature at the Portland International Jetport, Portland, Maine was 56°F (with a low of 40°F) today. In Boston, Massachusetts the high was 52°F (with a low of 44°F) today. Concord, New Hampshire's high temperature was 67°F (with a low of 43°F) today. The fishing was very good. Almost everything legal that was boated was a haddock. Also, like yesterday, for every two haddock caught, one was sub-legal and had to be returned. Landings also included one legal cod and one wolffish. They drift fished all day. A bait rig was, by far, the best choice if you wanted to catch fish. Ray Johnson (NH) was high hook with sixteen legal haddock. His largest haddock weighed 5.5 pounds. The largest fish of the day was an 8 pound wolffish caught by twelve year old Ryan Keniston (ME). He did not enter the boat pool. Pete D'Alessio (NJ) won the boat pool for the largest fish with the second largest fish, a 7.5 pound cod. Vic Maltsev (NY) and Dan Merrow (NH) tied for the third largest fish of the trip. They each caught a 6.5 pound haddock, just a half pound shy of the minimum acceptance weight for a Maine state trophy. Other Angler Highlights: Paul Grasso (MA) caught a 5 pound haddock and a 6 pound haddock, his two largest fish. Paul DeFrancesco (MA) landed a 5.5 pound haddock, his largest fish. Selina Chinapen (NY) landed the hard luck award for being the most (only) sea sick angler. |

| Guttenberg Senior Fishing Trip Thursday, October
5, 2005 Len Litof, a Guttenberg senior and member of the Hudson River Fisherman’s
Association, led an intrepid band of Guttenberg seniors from the Town Hall to beautiful
Ocean Breeze fishing pier, an 830 foot long concrete pier jutting out into the harbor on
Staten Island. The pier is equipped for fishing, with basins of water for tending to your
catch and cleaning your hands. Rod holders are even located along the rails for comfort. Len Litof, who was
responsible for bringing the Hudson Tech Explorer 2000 Program, the Youth Angler Program
of the New Jersey Hudson River Fisherman’s Association, as well as the Guttenberg
Mayor’s Town Council, and Guttenberg’s school district together for a great
fishing experience for 7th and 8thth graders, thought it would be a
superb idea to do for the seniors of Guttenberg. Len
then prepared a detailed proposal to the Mayor, David Della Donna and his Town Council. After many discussions and consideration, the Mayor,
gave Litof’s proposal it’s blessing and agreed to fund and
support the fishing trip as a way to allowing our seniors a day in the fresh air and a
chance to catch the ocean breezes as well as fish. Litof then wrote up
flyers and had them posted in prominent areas in town where the seniors, who wishing to
go, could call and sign up to reserve a place on the luxury bus provided by the Mayor. Len contacted the
Hudson River Fisherman’s Association and told them of the impending outing. The Association approved the outing, provided, the
rods, reels and above all, a cadre of experienced fisherman, to be at the pier assisting
the Guttenberg seniors in the art of fishing. Len,
and these men, Glen Blank, Al White and Tony Di Modugno, are usually working with our
Youth Anglers group from Jersey’s inner city schools and were eager to be with a
senior group, especially since they are seniors themselves. on how the rods worked, down into the water went the
lines. Not 5 minutes elapsed when shouts of
joy and laughter were heard. Of course,
guys, the first fish was landed by a lady. This
lady exclaimed “I never fished in my life”. Len Litof |
