The boat ended up with one keeper bass, a short, and 12 to 15 blues. Here is a pic of the lone striper The Golden Eagle from Belmar went south and made long drifts over good readings that produced few bites as they had a pick of more bass than blues.
Lilly said the water temperature was only 48 degrees --a big change from the 53 degrees recorded Wednesday down the beach on Ty Man, after it was only 43 degrees in Sandy Hook Bay. Joe Blaze of Brielle walked into a mass of stripers on a huge school of peanut bunkers Thanksgiving afternoon at Sea Girt and caught lots of them on his fly rod while putting a friend into his first stripers with a spinning rod and a plug.
11 25 2016 Long time Bounty Hunter Supporter Ken Steiner was on board today. Ken has been fishing with us for 20 years and this was his 15th consecutive Black Friday trip on the Bounty Hunter.
Unfortunately it was a tough day with the togs for the guys. The best we could find on the spots we fished was a scratchy bite with a mix of some shorts and keepers on each.
,Blackfish Bobby had his limit by the end of the day and some guys had 1or two,a few had 3 or 4 but alot had the skunk. it was especially difficult for the first timers since we moved around so much on the anchors and got em stuck alot.
