To ensure this status review is comprehensive, the agency is soliciting scientific and commercial information regarding this species.

A beautiful day and no people. we only had 4 customers today and between the 4 boats trying there was only enough for one boat to make a days pay.

Though snakeheads and clown knifefish failed to cooperate, we did mange to release some colorful and hard-fighting peacock bass before making that long trip across the state again where Alberto and I cast small paddletail jigs from shore during the middle of the night to release spotted seatrout and snook plus a single ladyfish and even a Gulf kingfish which has the same tiny mouth as the northern member of that species that we catch in the surf though very rarely on artificials. Chuck Many reports that jigging for smaller bass was hot during his last trip with Ty Man in Raritan Bay, but the bait bite for bigger bass was slower though he did release the lunker in the photo.

Super readings all day. We will be back at it again tomorrow.
