The other great thing is no other boats to screw things up I'm out there all alone. I made one drift in that area and we caught our bonus fish we needed then I went back to the big ones to play catch and release for the rest of the day.

tough to get through the shorts at any keepers today but i can say they had very good fishing at times. Either way a nice day out,high hooks only had two keepers and 40 plus shorts.

Had a better bite today in some horrible conditions. The guys worked hard landing over 50 shorts and 16 keepers to 5# and a nice codfish around 9#.

Capt. Rob Semkewyc sent the following report about great striper jigging today on his Sea Hunter from Atlantic Highlands. Thanks for checking in, Capt. Rob Mike Kuzio and his son from steam fitters 420 Mike is on the right he had a hot hand today The Gambler from Point Pleasant reported some shorts and slots plus a few keeper bass.

12-16-17 Nice day for the most part today,windy but not brutaly cold. As for tomorrow it looks really nice with the winds dropping out tonite.
