finally a fall bass
 

again, it seemed there were a lot of fish around Manasquan but not biting. Got a bluefish and a keeper bass trolling plugs. only 2 weeks of fishing left for me, somethings gotta happen...

Nice one, your getting too stressed about it. It will happen for you! LOL!
That rig ain't forgot how to catch fish. :beer:

got a short bass & 2 blues yesterday before getting socked in the fog.

There were 25 to 50 pound bluefin surfacing about 2 miles out. wasted an hour trying to catch one. They were laughing at me.

Was trolling a shad bomber off of port monmouth at 4 mph n caught this ...

Nice catch again.

Fished from Shark River Saturday, Nov 9, turned right / south.

Went about 1-2 miles and started trolling both tube and shad umbrella rigs on the wire.
Approx. 50- 55 depth was the zone.

Found the Stripers hitting the shads more than the eel rig. A bit surprised by that.

Had two triple headers of stripers and blues. Have a video if someone wants to post it.

About 15 fish by noon, 3 keeper bass the rest all shorts and bluefish.

Didn't see anyone catching on the jig. I don't bother jigging when the fish are spread out.
I like to shoot for fish in the box, try for the limit, then play around with lures.

Calm seas, very light wind. Nice.
