Willie,

thx for the reply. I fish Raritan Bay. We usually start at the Bug Light(Sandy Hook) or TC Channel then move out to the Sandy Hook Channel, Fynn's Knoll or the Reach Channel. Next month will start Fishing Ambrose Channel(edges and deep). You make a good point about the deeper water. I usually like to short drift the channel egdes avoiding the deep if possible. We also have youngters on the boat about 1/3 of the time so long drifts on the flats is commom. I will have to start laying the law down with my dumb *** buddy, Lefty, who likes to aimlessly drift around while scratching his *** and telling me what a great fisherman he is. No herring but Lefty is good at thowing a cast net. As soon as the peanut bunker show in numbers in the Shewsbury and Navasink we will sart using them Live. As far as Bucktails we are using them with a teaser above them. Thx again. Where do you keep your boat?
