DEP SECURES ARMY CORPS PERMITS TO BUILD NEW ARTIFICIAL REEFS SITES TO BE DEVELOPED OFF OCEAN COUNTY'S MANASQUAN INLET AND IN DELAWARE BAY TRENTON - The Department of Environmental Protection's artificial reef program has secured a U. S. Army Corps of Engineers permit to proceed with construction of two new reefs for recreational fishing, Commissioner Bob Martin announced today. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service had suspended the funding due to concerns that commercial fishing was intruding on and hampering recreational fishing on artificial reefs, which are funded by excise taxes on recreational fishing gear and boat fuel.

Had Pat back out again this year with son Brian And brother John with son Joe. Started with white Mojos and Brian got us started early with a nice 36 Incher, fishing was slow so, made bait and went Chunking no luck or I'm not patient enough!

Lot's of smaller fish to start the day with a couple keepers. Pool fish was a nice 16 pound Striped Bass.

We did a lot of searching today on and off shore on the rocks and lumps. We did not see as much bait as we have been seeing and it was very slow. It turned out to be another tough day of angling.
