Captain's Focus

Anyone who fished today probably had an experience they'll never forget -- thunder in January. It was nothing serious (I heard one clap in Wall), but the last thing to be expected in mid-winter out of nowhere.  The following report from the Ocean Explorer out of Belmar described the crazy day that still provided some fishing:"1-18-14 We had a light east breeze this morning,,,,not southwest like they said it would be..Calm ocean conditions though....Then the sky got dark and we actually got thunder and lightning believe it or not..Surprising for winter..The winds went west and started howling up to 30mph....We were picking slowly at some fish,,,actually caught our nice 10lb.pool winner during the front passing...Some other keepers here and there,,,High hook had three keeper togs,,,some others had two keepers,,few one...Nothing great at all but we did catch some fish...Soft baits caught fish,,,Shrimps tipped on top of the crabs have been working including today..Even some hermit crabs..Few ling here and there but most were after blackfish...Few short Codfish as well,,It did get a little lumpy out there but nothing to bad...Probably gonna be the same tomorrow so we are all set to fish!!See ya tomorrow!"
