I got up too late to make it in time.Ill be out in 2 weeks from that point on.That bluefish took first place in the tournement it ended today.I got 500.00 and a new rod and reel,not bad for a 13 pound blue.how did you guys make out if you went today?
Dude , I went down to work but didn't go . Only 8 showed up !!! They went out but no report yet . Had some loose ends at home to tie up as I'm going to AC tomorrow . I will be fishing on Black Friday and trying to work Sunday . The D Man caught a short on Saturday's trip . It's tough out there right now . I guess that I'll try and start the bite Friday !!! 7oz Croc and my 6/1 Diawa hs should do the trick . Churn and burn Baby !!! Quick cranking will keep you from freezing .
Hey pedro it was real slow sat trust me i pulled everything out of the bag only 1 bluefish and the one short bass there was no birds no bait no nothin almost came out on sunday but overslept dennis was lookin for fares for the turkeyday trip i was thinking about it unless it bust's wide open i might sleep in though
Dee , Your one fish may have started the bite . The weather might be crappy Thursday . Just hope for cold water . I just looked at the Rutgers Water temp.site and we could still be fishing Tunas . No interest .
Pedro you kiddin me no intrest in chasing tuna i would love to still be wackin some tuna over the head i'm down to my last yft loin I hope the striper bite turns on though gotta get capt bob to chase some blackfish.
I ended up going on my budys boat yeasterday(sunday)I was on my way to the gambler and he called me up,I seen you guys all over looking for the fish,we had 15 stripers all about a half inch short and blues to 13lbs.also had about 10 dog fish one was almost 4' long biggest WE've ever seen.everything was south of seaside to old barney.
We were down there . Did you see that pile of birds around 10:00 about 2 miles off ? Thats the first good bird works that I've seen in a month . Just Gator Blues though . We caught a bunch of shorts inshore by you guys . No keepers this time just Big Blues . They were all full of Herring . 7oz Crocs and the quick crank were the ticket . I think that we turned the corner and the fishing will get better this week .Capt. Mike and I each caught a Gator in a couple of casts .I tried to hand my fish off but no one wanted to take it .
heading out in my budys boat tommorrow (sat)I'll let you know if they are getting bigger.I picked up a penn II 30 wide today it was on sale for a good price at reel life,I put 450yds of 80# on it I'm going to give it a test run on some stripers this weekend.Now I'm ready for some big fish.
sat. was good fishing with 4 keepers up 36"on stretchs and realesed about 10 shorts.sun was pretty choppy with some monster blues but no stripers to be found.I did see a head boat out about 3 miles most of the day but we stayed closer to the beach
Walt , why do you always have to tease me ? Thats one slob of a Yellow and on my favorite boat to boot . Russell , We were in the pack Sunday for a while but caught most of our keepers around a mile and 1/2 off shore . We only had one small Bluefish but got at least a dozen Stripers between 29" and 32" with one around 20# . Not a lot of shorts . The bait to go to was the Croc again with fish eating on the sink/ quick crank .
I only have luck with the crock on the gambler,I've been trying it on my budys boat with no luck,my budy was out fishing me with a white umbrella jig.hopefully this blow comming through slows them for a couple of days.quick ? what type of rod would match my needs for the penn 30 wide?All rollers or just the 2 rollers.I was looking at IGFA rods but not to sure which size or style would be good for makos.I do have 450 yds 80#mono on there but I'm thinking of putting on 700yds of 80lb braid instead.Any suggestions please let me know....
I'd stick to the mono for now . You will probably chase down the shark so you don't need that much line . I'd also look into all rollers . The Penn rods that you mentioned are nice . I have one .I think it's the 30 lb @ 6'6" I'll bring it when you come fishing , you can fit your reel on it and we can pull away.
this sunday I wont make it but the following sunday I,m going for sure.Is there any other days you go out beside sunday's?I think the 80# is pretty thick for the 30,I was even of thinking of just going with a 60lb. mono instead of the braided. thanks for the info
