I'm going. Going to Screwsbury Rocks and kill me some BSB and Stripers. Gonna use eels, I've been keeping them in the wife's fridge for two weeks...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1RLdQTw7lc

hehehe yeh I've seen that one before. Funny stuff.

Not funny however was going out at 7, drifting for 3 hours and catching 2 tiny baby fluke. I give up on them. Have't had a decent day of fluking in 6 years.
I used to be somebody, now I suck. If you see me around, go fish somewhere else.

I'm golfing until November stripers...

Suggestions..............
1. Drift around the Shark River inlet and wait for the fluke boats to go out.......then follow and fish around at very proper distance . Boats such as Big Mohawk target fluke and know well where biting. * They wouldn't be happy with me for this suggestion....but it's a " free ocean. "

2. Rig with a smaller offering above the bottom - about 10" above the sinker, run a short leader of maybe 4"- 6" with a white 4" gulp grub teaser . Jig with nearly constant little motion.

3. Run north........ I don't know if it's true, but I caught most fish this year off the Sandy Hook beaches in 28' of water, then also fish the edges of the deeper Ambrose channel.

I'm no fluke expert, but if you had a bad year, maybe this will be of use some day.

I was at the Axel Carlson reef at 730, Big Mohawk showed up right next to me when he came out. He caught nothing, just like me. He headed farther south to Lavalette/Ortley.

Run further north.....

[step up here]

Not only are their V-20 weather days their are V-20 fishing days where the bite is on!!!!!!!! Also add in the days when you and your crew could go,then you will see how good the season really is. Now that is the NJ challenge.

Hey Step - where you been ? Did you fish Monday when it was flat ?

I'm likely trailering to Del Bay Saturday, to get in on a trigger fish, blue, flattie bite
and because it looks like wind from the E again ...........rough ocean.
