Good trip, not spectacular with the cod,
but interesting. A show of cod around the boat. Plenty of ling on one drop, and
as* kicking jumbo porgy fishing on another. Pool winner was Trevor Daniels,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW YEARS DAY BLACKFISH: Had Tim, Dan, Capt Steve
(Legacy), Richie and Matt out Sunday for the first trip of the year. Went
right back to where we left em biting Saturday. Started with a slow pick of
shorts, keeps and dogs. Wasn't looking too bad. What a beautiful morning it was,
flat as a lake and almost t-shirt weather. Couldn't ask for more. Stayed on the
piece and stuck it out for the afternoon bite that it has been. Wind shifted and
had to re set. Life died out. Wiggled around a couple times. Lots of life but
scratchy bites all day. Lots of shorts too. Then the south wind picked up to 30
knots and seas built to 4-5 ft. Called it a day a bit early, due to conditions
not getting any better. Back at the dock around 3:30. Ended up with 14 decent
keepers. Not a good way to start off the new year. But we tried our best.
NEW YEARS EVE BOAT LIMIT TO 9 LBS: We had the Brandon Lee charter out
for a tog fest on New Year's Eve day. Started off the morning with shorts and
dogs, picking a couple of keepers here and there. Made another drop, and it was
the same. Looked like another day in the dog pound. Went inshore for another
drop, and picked a few decent fish. Then zero life after that. Took a ride
northeast, hoping for something to change. Set up shop around 1 pm or so. Had
some good flurries of nice 4-5 lb fish. Put 5 in the boat, wait 20 minutes for a
bite, and so on ... Made a little wiggle, and finally got what we were looking
for. 6's, 8's and 9's hitting the deck, one after the other. Solid fish here.
Most fish ranged from 4-7lbs, couple 8's and 9's too. Headed back to the dock
with a boat limit of 48 keepers to 9 lbs. Very nice day out on the water for
December 31st. Can't ask for better weather! Thanks guys, nice job!
TOUGH
TOGGIN TODAY 12/29: Well today we had the all-star crew. Eric the Mortgage Man,
Blackfish Doug, Joe Jigs, Bottom Bouncer and a 'dunkin donuts' guy. The bite
sucked. Made a few moves and adjustments, too. Didn't have a bite all day. A
million dogs to add to the frustration. Called it an early day. Ended up with 10
keeps to around 4 or 5 lbs.Thanks again. Another day ....

Had good to excellent fishing for blackfish from Fri - Sunday. Even caught
keeper sea bass before season closed (12/31), along with keeper cod and ling.
Sunday was the slowest fishing, but Joe Dean had well over his limit. Fishing
for me is in deeper water--reason I cancelled yesterday's trip -- too windy
offshore. I expect good fishing to continue -- weather turns warmer -- end of
week.

| December 19th. Fishing with Joe Massa and Gregg of Liberty Landing. The action was non stop from about noon to dusk on the Shrewsbury Rocks. Stripers to 15 pounds, huge blue fish and spiny dog fish. Worked under the birds which were spread out for miles. Metal lures of all kinds, droped to the bottom with a slow retrive up. Used a teaser tiped with a yellow gulp. Numerous double hook ups, how about an 8 pound spiny dog fish with a keeper bass. Saw three right fin whales heading North by the Sandy Hook Reef. Don't put your boats away yet. Lots of sand eels still around. Merry Christmas. |

| Although the party boats I have been on this year did do a great job overall I still do not understand why deck hands still gaff every fish caught.It seems needless to ultimately kill these fish. this included stipers which i voiced with poor reception, gaffing what were ultimtely short fish that were released and I assumed met their death soon after release. needless in my opinion and seemingly thoughtless by those who make a living off of the bounty of the sea. |

Looks like the STRIPERS are going to be around for some time. Last year
this time the water temperature was 4 degrees cooler and we weren't catching any
stripers. Fri and Sat's charters on the Last Lady & Last Lady II with Rich
(Canvas Shop) and Charlie Creighton bachelor party limited out with stripers and
caught blues also. The Bob Graham group caught stripers and blues also, but
didn't limit out -- we left a little too late. IF YOU WANT STRIPERS IT HAS TOO
BE EARLY -- 5AM-6AM THE LATEST -- especially true on the weekends. A lot of boat
traffic north and south of the inlet. I expect to be catching stripers till
Christmas.
BLACKFISHING picked up a little Sunday (approx 20 keepers). Better than last
weekend, but still not what it should be yet. IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER as
we go along in the season. ALL BLACKFISH TRIPS ARE LEAVING AT 6AM NOT 7AM. Those
of you who have spots reserved please confirm this with me via phone or e-mail.
We are available for full-boat charters daily on both boats. If you don't
have a full charter, contact me, and I'll set up a date for an OPEN TRIP.

| The stripers hit hard again today on jigs and soft plastics off of IBSP.
Sat and Sun, we made the right and fished south of the inlet from 2 to 5 miles
in 30 to 50 feet of water just to steer clear of the few hundred boats that have
been congregating off of the Coast Guard station off of Island Beach. We will be
running open boat trips this Thurs and Fri, Dec 1&2. Leaving at 6AM, and
returning at 2PM each day. $150 per person, limited to three people, all fish
are shared. There is a separate body of fish up north on the Shrewsbury Rocks
now, so the good news is, besides the current bite we have near the inlet, those
new fish have to filter down our way, as well. With the temps the way they are,
and the gobs of sandeels along the coast, we should be in for an interesting
couple of weeks. Here is some video of a triple header, including 11 year old
Max DeGennaro on an 18 pounder he decked this past Friday on a 10 pound spinning
rod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwgfdJnVkGk

| Mon. 28. I had a great day on a charter, out of Belmar. In the run out we saw lots of bird life, so we went jigging,Then it was one angler after a other with stripers on. ( some blues in the mix ). It was one of those days that it felt like a Striper Fest. We all box up. Then we slugged away at the tog's. If you had bait in the water you had tog's hitting, had to work for the big ones, but lots of action an fish coming over the railing. went home with a cooler full of fish. this may be a good sign. hope it keeps up.

| The striped bass fishing shows no signs of letting up. I fished through
the wind and rain on Wed and Thurs and the fishing was awesome. Most of the time
I am fishing within two miles of our Barnegat Inlet. Anywhere from 15 to 55 feet
of water. Flocks of birds, fish swirling on the surface, blackout readings of
sandeels and fish on the depth recorder......every day! We have been catching
most of our fish on lighter gear, 10 pound spinning outfits with FIN-S and BKD
soft plastics on 3/8 ounce jigheads. Everyone keeps asking me how that is
working in the deeper water........ummm,.....we let it sink longer. Once you
start with the light rods, it's hard to go back to heavier tackle. There are
times when we put out the trolling rods, but I even have a light version of
those. They are 5 1/2 ft, instead of 8 ft, small Daiwa Sealine 50H conventional
instead of big 4/0 Penn Senators, and the best part is they are spooled with 150
feet of wireline instead of 300 feet. An all around much lighter, more enjoyable
trolling outfit, and instead of shad bars or umbrella rigs, we are using single
jointed tube lures to match the hatch of the sandeel run. These outfits let us
troll in the 20 ft. depths while we are looking for the next gob of readings or
flock of birds. We have also been catching a few on jigs, but vertical jigging
has not been producing as well as dropping to the bottom, speed reeling for 10
or 15 cranks, then drop back to the bottom and repeat. The water is still 52 to
53 degrees. There are a lot of 8 to 12 pound bluefish in the mix, but the
striper ratio is still excellent. The bass are anywhere from 26' to 32' fish
common with a few bigger fish. Every day is bringing limit catches to the cooler
and plenty more to catch and release. It doesn't get any better than this. We
will be running an open boat for stripers on Thanksgiving morning, 6 AM to
Noon......Sharp! To get you and me back in time for the Holiday. Also, the next
day, Friday, Nov. 25, and Sunday, Nov. 27, both 6AM to Noon. The cost for any of
these trips is $150 per person. If it is your first time sailing with us,
payment by credit card is required in advance. We take a maximum of three
people. All the fish are shared. Please call me to reserve a spot as I am not on

the choice of catching them in the ocean or in the bay with live bait. Just
bring whatever you want to eat and drink, Ill bring the rest. The tide for

| Very rough week weather wise which slowed the fishing but only for 2 days
- the rest of the week was SPECTACULAR Seabass fishing. Many limits with tons of
throwbacks mixed in. Some caught well over 100 Seabass and had to weed threw the
throwbacks to come up with 25. Fishing wrecks anywhere from 10 to 20 miles away
from our inlet. Talked to Capt Dennis this morning - Sunday - and there were
limits already by 10:00 o'clock. Expect this great fishing to continue as long
as the weather cooperates - WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE STORMS!!! Sailing EVERYDAY
Check the calander page on the website for times - presently sailing 10hour, 12
hour and 14 hour Seabass trips as well as some 3/4 Day trips mixed in - Pick
your days - watch the weather!! Several limit catches this week - really too
many to mention: Wesley Shourt Howell NJ limit Seabass and won a pool with an 8
lb Blackfish Dale Isaacs Manchester, NJ limit Seabass and won a pool with an 8
lb Codfish Roy Williams Phila, Pa limit Seabass to 5 lbs and won the pool with a

| Ran northeast from Barnegat Inlet yesterday and got into stripers and
gator blues on topwater plugs and diamond jigs. Big flocks of birds, blackout
readings on the machine, like fall should be. Now the bay is all lit up with
fish, as well. Good thing, too, as I am sitting on a few hundred live spots that
are about to meet their doom. "Just unders" to "way overs" have turned on, now
that the inside water temp hit 58 degrees. Even on the windy days, when the
ocean is too rough, we will be catching bass in the bay from now into
December.--Capt. Dave DeGennaro, www.HiFlier.com |

We caught over 20 cods to 12 to 15 lbs. Did not hit a couple of wrecks that I
know are holding big fish (afraid of weekend warriors). The wreck we had the
best results on we had to contend with a real idiot with no class--we could have
passed food to his boat as he was drifting by us--one of the reasons I hate
fishing for certain species on the weekends. Open trip on Nov 8th moved to NOV

| Awesome stretch of weather coming this weekend. West winds for a flat
ocean. Air temps in the 60s, water temps in the low 60s. There have been big
schools of bunker between Barnegat and Manasquan inlets. Both stripers and big,
gator bluefish balling them up. We are chartered for this Saturday, but will run
open-boat trips Sunday and Monday, 6AM to 2PM, three-person maximum, all fish
are shared. We will break the inlet at sunup, make a left, and run along the
beach, hunting for pods of bunker. I will run as far as it takes. We will also
be armed with light spinning rods in case the overdue false albacore show up. We
can throw small metals at them. I will be packing the trolling gear in case we
want to try bunker spoons or umbrella rigs to put some fish on the ice. If you
guys don't want to troll, we won't. Give me a call instead of emailing me as I

Bunker and Gators -- We ran to the Monster Ledge area of the Mud Hole
yesterday. Heard one guy on the radio that trolled a 40 pound bluefin. We
trolled one false albacore in the clean 63 degree water. Lots of draggers. Not
much in readings. Tried chunking for a while, but no hits. Ran to Little Italy
next, the machine blacked out with what turned out to be all dogfish. Ran due
west from there in hopes of finding any kind of life along the beach. We found
pod after pod of bunkers being wooshed and rushed by big gator blues. Worked
them over for a few hours in hopes of finding a bass in the mix, but it was all
blues for us. Found out later they caught some big bass off of those same pods
in the morning. Now, three days of wind, and then we will be back at it Sat.,

Fall fishing continues to be extremely good.TUNA: Just got back from the
canyon yesterday afternoon. Boat ran great after my previous problems and we
found the fish. Unfortunately we didn't land as many fish as we should have.
Lost a sword, plus tuna we had almost to the gaff. The tuna were on steroids--we
had a lot of blue sharks around the boat all night, and they were a problem.
Ended up landing 2 tuna and trolled dolphin the next morning. Ran back in a flat
ocean and was at the dock @ 4:30pm. I will be going to the canyons when we have
a weather window till the fish leave--call for a special charter price. Bluefin
tuna are in the Hole close--we can troll them 20-30 miles offshore for a
charter. SEABASS--opens Nov 1, we are catching these fish close still. Open

and some fish caught both snagging and trolling spoons. The wind is going to
crank out of the west starting today (Fri) and into tomorrow (Sat). That will
level out the ocean to flat calm along the shoreline. I'm going to bring the
snagging and livelining rods and go look for some bunker pods between Barnegat
Inlet and Manasquan Inlet. I will bring the trolling rods in case we do not find
any bunker, we can still try some of the favorite haunts with the bunker spoons.
I will have the light spinning rods in case we run into the false albacore that
are making their way down from New England right now. Finally, we'll bring some
live spots to try around the inlet after we are done on the oceanside. In all,
it will be a good eight hour bass hunt. It's October 15, you don't wait for

Fall fishing is in full swing, and most days fishing is great for most
species.
Our canyon trip 7-8 was a disaster. Had numerous fish miss the lures, spit
the hooks, and had mechanical problems--blew a turbo and didn't get back till
late Sat. We did get back safe. Both Capt Harry and myself are mechanics, and we
can fix most anything. Other boats did very well with the fish.
Now for the good news: On Monday we took the Last Lady II on an offshore cod
trip. Left super early, and got to a wreck offshore before dark. One of the best
trips of the year. Box full of cod to 30+ lbs and pollack to 24+ lbs. Great
group of DPW guys with the Rob Michalkovich party from Secaucus, NJ, along with
fireman Mike. Oct 23 open boat for cod full. Nov 8, next open boat for cod, 2am
leave, $225/person. We are also available for full boat charters, $1400.
During the week we did very well with big blues and some stripers while
targeting blues. The bass are in, and so are the bluefish.
Unfortunately we are releasing a lot of BIG seabass. Open trip for them Nov
6, $100/person, on the Last Lady II.
OPEN BOAT SCHEDULE: STRIPERS, Oct 29, 5am leave,
$100/person, on Last Lady. STRIPERS/SEABASS, Nov 6, 5am leave,

Weekend wrap-up.
Good mudhole trip on Friday - mostly big Ling and a sprinkle of Cod around
the boat. A couple of names: Jack Decker 34 Ling, Dennis Stock 38 Ling 2 Cod,
Tom Dranwelis 32 Ling, Mike Sibilia 49 Ling, Knowell ? 51 Ling.
Saturday fishing was not as good because of strong current but the sharper
fisherman still managed decent catches.
Sunday, porgy trip - nothing exciting - picked some. Porgies in a lot of
places but the boat traffic was ridiculous. Found Blackfish bites
everywhere.
Mudhole trip on Columbus Day was better again with a nice spread of Big Ling
and some Cod around the boat - not quite as good as Friday but much better than
Saturday. The BIG flounders were also very hungry a number of double headers 3lb
plus were seen. Mike Kane Pennsauken, NJ 21 Ling and a 12 pound Cod to take the
pool, Ed Raimes Trenton, NJ 40 Ling 2 Cod, Omar Richardson Tabernacle, NJ 27
Ling, Connor Frances Reading, Pa 33 Ling, Bryan Kester Perth Amboy, NJ 19 Ling 2
Cod, Curtis Wiserman Old Bridge, NJ 36 Ling 2 Cod. Catches varied around the
boat some only caught 6 or 8 while others caught as many as 40. Overall a good
day!
Weather is questionable for Wednesday's Cod trip - will see today.

Comment/Question |
Fall Trout Stocking Is a Go
From the N.J. Div. of
Fish & Wildlife:
The Division confirms that fall trout stocking
will proceed according to schedule, beginning October 11. Also, the trout
allocations for each of the fall stocked waters posted at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/flstk.htm
will not be altered. Some stocking modifications may be necessary due to
flood damage, and those that are known at this point are described below.
Fish and Wildlife staff and volunteers will stock all the traditional
locations that can be accessed with stocking vehicles. Although some traditional
locations on a particular waterbody will not be stocked if they can not be
accessed, the trout that would have been put at those locations will be
redistributed to other locations on the same waterbody. The access road through
the Ken Lockwood Gorge in Hunterdon County that parallels the
S/Br. Raritan River was heavily damaged by record flood waters. The Gorge will
be stocked and fish will be distributed along the entire river stretch. However,
the entire road between the lower parking lot and the upper parking lot is now
closed to vehicular traffic. Anglers can park at the upper and lower parking
lots and walk into the Gorge to fish. The Big Flat Brook in
Sussex County was severely impacted by heavy flooding in August that eroded
stream banks and washed out access roads. In Stokes State Forest, the Crigger
Road bridge and several stops within the public campground immediately adjacent
to the Big Flat Brook will not be stocked due to flood damage. A section of
National Park Service Rt. 615 (Walpack-Flatbrook Road), from south of Haney's
Mill down to the bridge in Flatbrookville, is currently closed to the public and
fish will not be stocked in this stretch. The transfer truck (a pick-up truck
with a tank on the back) may not be able to access some stocking locations in
the Walpack area due to road closures and saturated grounds. Trout not stocked
at traditional locations on the Big Flat Brook will be redistributed to nearby
locations on this stream. Anglers are reminded that even if a location is not
stocked, they can be successful targeting trout stocked last spring that held
over in these areas. Anglers who fish Iona Lake in Gloucester
County may be aware this lake has been partially lowered for emergency dam
repairs. However, at this time it is anticipated that the repairs will be
completed and lake refilled in time for fall trout stocking. The Fall Trout
Stocking schedule of when, where and how many trout will be stocked is available
at http://njfishandwildlife.com/flstk.htm.
Any other significant stocking modifications that may become necessary due to
flood damage will be posted on this page as well. |

Miss Belmar Princess: Private charter for Cisco Systems. Capt. Lenny Forsyth
reported fishing 12 miles east of the inlet, near the edge of the Mudhole,
picking away at 4-12 lb blues. It was good at times with 4-6 on, catching them
with bait and jigs. It was a really nice day, and the weather is looking good
for the weekend.
Tropical Adventure: Open-boat trip, filling in for the Miss Belmar Princess,
who was privately chartered. Things started out a little slow on our first stop,
so we moved the boat to another location, and then the bite was on. We had a
steady pick of blues with 4-6 on, weighing 8-12 lbs. We had blues biting on
jigs, bunker chunks and sardines. Our pool winner was Mike Lachman with a 14 lb
striper.
Starting next week on the Miss Belmar Princess: Weekly trips for false
albacore and bonito 6 a.m. to 2:30-3 p.m. every Tuesday. The Tropical Adventure

| OK. I had enough. I'm throwing the ropes. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday Sept. 22 to 25 Open Boat Trips for ???? .FISH! The sea condition looks
good for a stretch through the weekend. Im bringing a bucket of spearing, a
barrel with live peanut bunker, the wireline rods, and more. The plan is to
check out Barnegat Ridge for bonita and albacore. If the water color is not
good, then we can head north to the Mud Hole in search of bonita, albies, and
maybe some mahi or bluefin tuna. If the word is that the water color is green
there also, we will pass on the Mud Hole, and run up to Shrewbury Rocks for the
big blues and stripers that are being trolled. The boat has been tied to the
dock too long during this awful stretch of weather, we are in prime time, end of
September, we're going to catch something. Even the wirelining can be fun if you
do it right. We have these short jigging rods that you hold in your hand and jig
the rod while we are trolling. The lure is a 2 ounce bucktail with a strip of
pork rind and the hit is a train wreck you wont soon forget. The big blues and
the stripers both hit this way. If we get enough of a workout with that
technique, I'll have the umbrella rigs to put out for a break. Leaving each day
at 6AM and returning at 2PM or later I limit the boat to three people.
Everything is provided. All fish are shared among the passengers. Capt. Dave

Went off of bug light and anchored up with the Progy fleet, boated 14 in 3/4 hour all nice fat keepers. We were quite amused watching a crew of 4 people on a boat trying to set anchor for 30 minutes when they finally got it all the other boats cheered. let for port at 3:30 pm of course the best catch of the day was my 1st Mate and wife Annette. |

Went to Harvey Cedars lump caught some croakers tried garden state north caught croakers and one seabass. Alot of fish were holding 15 to 20 ft off the bottom and wouldn't touch a lure. We ran about 10 miles east to a lump crossed a weedline into clean green and caught lots of short fluke and one keeper |

Inshore |
| Response to the guy who posted the pic of the unknown fish. My guess is
that it is what they call a 'lizard fish' in Florida. Caught many of them on the
west coast of Florida. Nasty, toothy and they eat everything!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synodontidae
Comparable to the houndfish but even more voracious. |

| Can anyone tell me if there is a fall striped bass run, or would it be better to turn my attention to tuna? |

Inshore |
| Inshore: Fishing on the west side of Barnegat Bay is very
good right now. We are catching 12- to 15-inch weakfish on both shedder crabs
and live grass shrimp. Also in the mix are kingfish, fluke, blowfish, burrfish
(porcupine puffers), croakers and more. We are using ultralite spinning tackle
to amp up the fun. We are also catching small stripers and all sizes of
blackfish out on the inlet jetty, anchored up chumming with our special bait,
using spinning tackle and no sinkers! Just a hook. Very unique way to catch
these fish, and very effective. Most trips, we are combining this with the back
bay, and it is not uncommon to catch 10 different species. Offshore
has still been a struggle, with lots of green water ugly-ing up my
favorite haunt: Barnegat Ridge. On Wednesday I made a run to the Atlantic
Princess with Darren Dorris and Steve Spina in search of tuna. That area had
lots of life including whales, blackout readings and lots of big bluefish. Too
many bluefish and green water. We were called in to the west, the Glory Hole
area, where some guys were catching mahi in blue water, so we took a ride. We
didn't pass through this nice blue water on the way out, because it was on a
heading from Manasquan Inlet, and we left out of Barnegat. The water color was
beautiful. There were frigate mackerel breezing on the surface, a few flying
fish, but we didn't score with the mahi, as some of the boats there did. We gave
it a few hours, and went into Plan B, my first-ever wreck effort, on a piece
that a friend gave me the numbers to try. A few bergals came over the rail, and
then a cod. And more cod, probably 15 to 20 cod in two hours, with only two
keepers, a 22-incher, and a 26-pounder that ate my clam bait right at the
whistle to go home. We had a few conger eels, and Steve added this 3-pound
yellowtail flounder to the mix. That blue water in the Mudhole has my attention
right now, so I will be running an open boat there Saturday and Tuesday, armed
with an arsenal of spinning rods and bait to pitch to the lobster pots, and any
other structure we could find for mahi mahi (dolphin). Of course, we will have
all the tuna-trolling and -jigging gear onboard, just in case those fish are
cooperating. 5AM to 1PM, maximum of three anglers, all fish are shared. On
Sunday the weather looks questionable for offshore, so I will run a full-day
open-boat trip that covers all the inshore fishing we are doing. 5 AM to 1PM. We
will fish the back bay with shedder crab and/or live grass shrimp, bounce around
the channels for some fluke, and finish up with the light-tackle stripers and
blackfish out on the jetty. Limited to three people. The boat is also available
for charter or open-boat Monday from 2:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the back bay,
Wednesday full or half-day inshore or offshore, and Thursday 5AM to 11AM in the
bay. If the Ridge cleans up, we can run there as well. Hope to see you on
board.--Capt. Dave DeGennaro, www.HiFlier.com

Surf |
| Surf casting from the concrete ship beach (sunset beach) and nearby was very good this morning. I caught 28 flounder and one keeper blue fish, dad caught 35 flounder, and mom caught 18. The flounder were mostly 12 to 16 inches, with only one keeper in the bunch, but our arms were sore from dealing in all morning. Bait included hand tied buck skin, gorp, and minnows. |

Offshore |
| Sailed from Barnegat Inlet yesterday to do a midrange trip. Our spot was covered with green water. We saw blue water on the satellite chart so we kept going and found nice color but no life. After about 2 hours of trolling we headed back to where the blue and green were mixing. As soon as we hit the color change we caught a mahi. Wekept at it and caught some Yellowfins too. All our bites came when we were in that mix nothing in the clean water. If we went to far to the green side we caught bluefish. Late in the day we came in by the 30 line and got a good Bluefin jig bite going on 40 pound cookie cutters in clean green water they were puking up 8 to 12 inch sandeels. It was a tough day alot of running but we got em going in the afternoon |

Surf |
| Good evening all. I fished 7 Presidents Oceanfront Park at the surf this am 08/10 from 440 am until 10 am. High tide was about 5am with fairly calm water but some good waves. In between my 5 hours fishing all my action came within 5 and 8 o clock..and the hits were huge. I last fished here a few weeks back and landed a bunch of 2-5 pound blues. This time was a little different. At sunrise it seemed every cast was followed by a fluke bite. I successfully reeled in 5 fluke while losing 5 or 6 others as i got them to the sand and the outgoing waves helped get them off my line. (I'm still learning to fish better) Also i had bunch more bites, including one BIG fluke that i lost easily 24+ inches. Biggest I caught was 22 inches another was 19, the rest were all shorts but it was a great morning with a beautiful sunrise. I was shocked to even be catching them to begin with as I was using a bluefish KastMaster lure. The fluke were hitting anything moving.. Also I picked up a few small blues up to 18 inches putting up a good fight. The tide is working with the sunrise the next couple of days as well so i expect it might be just as good fishing so I'll be heading back in a few hours to do it all again, hope to see ya there. -Joe |
