Still the two 1 lb 7 oz fish are leading the contest with a 15 1/2 in fish edging 1st because of the tie breaker. Right behind is the 1 lb 5 oz caught by Rob English. This weekend we are hoping someone brings in that 2 pounder we see every year. Good luck to all!!!!

A couple of local fishermen weighed in some perch all in the 1 lb 7 oz range. Leo Stehor is leading the perch competition witth a 15 1/2 inch perch that weighed 1 lb 7 oz. Next in line is Terry R. with a 1 lb 7 oz that measured 13 1/2 inch. Third place is a 1 lb 5 oz perch caught by Rob English. What a great leader board early in this contest. Keep on catching !!!!

Terry caught a total of 28 striped bass. 27 shorts and one on the dinner table. This one measures just 28 inches and weighs close to 8 lbs. keep catching Terry!!!!

Things are getting a little more active in the river this morning. Some decent striped bass catches were reported to me today about yesterday’s fishing. All in the 20-26 inch range. Getting bigger with each report i here. The perch fishing is coming along. Our contest ends April 30th so bring in the fish and hopefully 1st prize 2nd prize or 3rd prize might be yours for the taking. Have a nice catch to all!!!

The fishing in the mullica river is getting better each and every day. As the weather gets better so does the fishing. This weekend is easter weekend and its suppose to be highs in the upper 50’s low 60’s. Some great weather ahead, FINALLY! We got some new reels in stock, anwhere from diawa, okuma, shimano, and shakespeare as well as some nice combos (rod and reel) very reasonablly priced. Come shop at your favorite friendly neighborhood bait and tackle shop.

Some people venturing out yesterday produced some decent striped bass catches along the mullica River. Anywhere between 16 in and 24 inches in length and missed a keeper as well. People have been using bloodworms and even trying out atlantic herring for bait. Our perch contest is still going strong. Please feel free to sign up online or in the shop. Have a nice catch to all!!

Over the last week people have been going insane including us here at Captain Howards’ because the weather has been awful. Hopefully after Monday’s storm that will be the last of what winter has brought us this year. Over the last couple of days though people have been more eager to get the cob webs off their fishing rods and take a few casts along the river. Some reports of Striped Bass at the usual spots of Hay Rd and Lower Bank Bridge. We weighed in our first perch for the contest a couple days ago. It was 1lb 3 oz. A decent start to what is an exciting time of year at Captain Howards’. Feel free to get any of your fish weighed in all year long. Have a nice catch to all.
