It was drop and reel mayhem with multiple big fish coming up at a time, and before we knew it were limited out and everyone was sweating and breathing heavy!Big thanks to Irene from Harbor View for meeting us at the fuel dock to weigh some of these boys and girls in.
Three personal bests were had today for Mark, Chip, and Traci had two personal bests catching a 12 pound fish and then beating it with a 14. While it is nice to limit out, this time of year in the area we are fishing the goal is more a quest for personal bests as there are some really beautiful fish on several spots if you fish hard and are lucky enough to be able to get him above the structure before he wins the battle!
We've had some tough weather over the last week for fishing. Coming next month, we will be hosting our second annual South Jersey Fishing Seminar circuit and kicking it off at Island Marine Center in Ocean View.
We had a number of fish over 10lbs with our biggest being a beautiful male for Tom at nearly 14 pounds. We easily limited out with beautiful fish today.
We got a few more fish here but overall it was a slow day but the keepers we did get for the guys were of nice quality 4 to 8 pounders. We fished a few drops today and while a couple were slow, we had a really good bite on a third and the guys boxed their limit of fish to 7 pounds with the Barn's own Ancient Mariner Skip M. high hook with 7 or 8 keepers and the rest of the guys getting in on the action, as well.
Fishing was slow early, but moving around a bit really helped as we found some nice pockets of fish at times and finished with a limit of sea bass to 5 pounds hitting the box and the average size to the fish being quite nice. Lots of nice fish came over the rail and a great day was had by all!December 6Shawn, Traci, Joe, Tom, Terry, and Tom were aboard The Bomb today for an open boat striper trip.

Fishing was fantastic as the guys boxed a limit of beautiful bass during a great early morning bite. We had a phenomenal trolling bite with an easy limit of 20 to 30 pound plus bass going in the box and several released to fight another day, as well.
