***Update, Thursday, 3/11***: Not a ton was happening yet, but things were beginning to pick up with the warmer weather, and party boat bottom-fishing from Belmar put patrons on mostly ling, some cod and only an occasional blackfish, said Bob from Fisherman’s Den. Just one of the boats was about the only one getting out much, and a trip was on the waters today. Talk was heard about a few striped bass mopped up from the different rivers, and nothing was heard about any dragged from the surf, and waters were cold. Freshwater anglers hit the lakes for perch and crappies. But again, activity was generally starting to come alive, and the shop will probably be open full time starting next week. The store is currently open in the mornings until 10 or 11. The countdown is on for the opening of winter flounder season on March 23, and the crew from the shop began painting the rental boats in the week’s better weather to get them ready for floundering on Shark River. The bag limit was reduced to two of the flatties, but the full fleet of the boats will probably be on the river, and anglers will likely still want to fish for the black-backs.
