Landed 15 fish to 31 inches. With this full moon had a new influx of fresh sea run fish covered with sea lice!

As previously noted in this blog, there have been lots of harbor seals which are northern residents enjoying winter vacations in Shrewsbury River and Sandy Hook for many years and some hang around as waters warm in the spring. Whales that were also a rarity have also become so common in NY NJ Bight that they can often be observed from shore in the summer, and the big red drum that were the major inshore game along the central N. J. coast a century ago have remained far to the south even after NOAA Fisheries warned Jersey anglers that they should learn how to fish for the impending return of those warm water fish.
