There have been a lot of nice fish still around the last few days and we expect that to be the case until the fluke season closes on Saturday, September 26. Jim Anderson, Lake Hopatcong, NJ, had four nice keepers and just missed the pool with a 6 pound 1 ounce fish of his own.
Had good conditions to stop inshore of where we have been fishing lately and found solid fishing with mixed size fish right from the start which lasted until the change of tide around noon. Al Waranis, Trenton, NJ, kept only his limit from the eight legal fish that he caught.
Bounced around the areas we have been fishing and managed okay action and keepers up to the 6 pound 11 ounce pool fish taken by Ron Becker, Springfield, NJ. Gulps spros have had the advantage with the bigger fish the past few trips.
The guys had to work hard for a few fish until the southerly breeze finally started mid day. Today's keepers were NICE quality fish but we would have liked to have seen more to go around.
Wind and tide together made for a quick drift in the afternoon but the guys who had the heavier gear had no problem and enjoyed some nice fish. Joe Carella, Millburn, NJ, took the pool with a 7 pound 3 ounce fish to go along with a nice 4 pound 14 ounce fish.
09 08 15 The water finally cleaned up a bit everywhere and the fish responded much better in a few areas today!!Bounced around a few edges and snags and had life around each before we lost the drift in those areas as well.
