Fished the same areas that we have been recently and had NICE fish on just about every drift most of the day. Mike Scher, Cranford, NJ, was happy with his catch that included a 5 pound 4 ounce fish and the 9 pound 2 ounce pool winner!!
Today was not the fishing we have had recently with the overall number of keepers aboard but the high hook ended with four nice fish and several others each wound up with three nice fish in their coolers. Don Jaeger, Morris Plains, NJ, had three NICE fish including a 6 pound 2 ounce and a 6 pound fish and he took the pool.
Tiny Goldman, Brick, NJ, had four keepers with three being 4 pounds 9 ounces, 5 pounds 6 ounces and 6 pounds 1 ounce and he tied for the pool with Carmine Rutledge, Newark, NJ, who had an identical 6 pound 1 ounce fish. Teddy K, South River, NJ, had four keepers that included a 5 pound 4 ounce and 5 pound 6 ounce fish.
High hook had four keepers, a couple with three etc. . Karl Faller, East Hanover, NJ, had a couple of keepers including the 5 pound 13 ounce pool fish.
Our best fishing was this morning when we had a nice slow drift with the wind against tide. Tom took the pool with a 9 pound 5 ounce BEAUTY while Shannon ended up having high-hook honors with four QUALITY fish up to 4 pounds 7 ounces on her first-ever boat trip!!!
Spro gulps and natural baits all caught their share of fish today. Mike Scher, Cranford, NJ, took home his limit while Richard DeMarco, Toms River, NJ, took the pool with a 5 pound 12 ounce fish.
Finally had to leave for a different area and had some fish late in the day before we came home. A different wind direction for tomorrow should give us the drift that we want.
Bill Gugliotta, Guttenberg, NJ, had a couple of keepers up to 5 pounds 7 ounces. Steve Smith, Guttenberg, NJ, had three keepers including the 6 pound 13 ounce pool fish.
We had some of our regulars aboard and found decent fishing in the morning with mostly nice keepers and only a few shorts. Left the area to find some movement elsewhere and managed a few more fish closer to home to end the day.
Tiny Goldman, Brick, NJ, had plenty of action today and ended up with four keepers to 4 pounds 8 ounces. Dominick Marcantonio, East Hanover, NJ, also had plenty of action with gulps and wound up with four nice fish as well which included his 8 pound 10 ounce pool fish!!
