Started out my morning with Morris (Moe), wishing me a Happy Birthday and presenting me with an awesome bottle of The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year single malt!!!Henry lead the way with 10 fish, many guys with several fish by the end of the day.

One of the Shore's surfcasting legends has passed away. At Atlantic Highlands, The Sea Hunter reported slower striper jigging, but made a ride into rougher waters for a decent catch of keepers.

Alot did have to go back but mixed in there were some nice fish. high hooks with sea bass were up around 10-12 keepers.

The Miss Belmar Princess is the largest, fastest and cleanest fishing boat in Belmar. With Miss Belmar s 3 engines and a total of 2,100 horsepower, she is the first boat to the fishing grounds every day and we guarantee it.

Now, Capt. Dave Riback of the Queen Mary from Point Pleasant says they're all over 10 pounds, mostly in the mid-teens, plus some in the 20-pound class -- and there's lots of them. He found enough keepers on the N. J. side before going over to N. Y. where lots of bonus bass were released -- though he ended up being able to keep some some of them upon returning to N. J. Joe Melillo, at Castaways Tackle in Point Pleasant, reported a good start to winter flounder fishing at both ends of the canal on both worms and clams.
