Sunday 11/28:  Had the Lyndhurst boys on board today - first and foremost a special thanks to them to fill this trip last minute last night as my charter bailed. It's always good to have friends ready to fish at a moment's notice!

Anyway, onto the fishing. Ran a bite east early to look for something to jig - no shakes. Then it was up north to the tog grounds.  Started in 40'. Bite was slow to develop, but we had some flurries of shorts and a keeper here or there. Once that dried up, we went further north and offshore fishing 60-70' depths. Bigger fish, more bites, but the pick would only last 10 or so minutes then it would STOP. We did pull several nice fish out there - dropped a few nice ones too.

Finished up inshore on a couple of spots in 30-45' and had just a few bites. In there, the fishing was extremely SLOW. Only a bite here and a bite there, very few fish just a few shorts and a couple more keepers. Stayed late hoping the afternoon bite would happen - that never materialized for us.  Wound up with around 40 tog, and a dozen keepers to 4-5#. I got to fish a good portion of the day and wound up with 5 nice keepers. Overall fishing was a slow pick; no great shakes by any standard but it was nice to come home with a little meat for the table for a great crew!!
