Finally fished Saturday, May 27........

[bgreene]

Broke Shark River Inlet around 6:30 hearing of no stripers being caught on VHF.......

With bunker, good marks and some birds just outside the inlet I gave it a troll effort with the spoons and umbrella..........nothing.
Headed north setting up on another area of birds - saw it was small blues so switched to a little jig and that was the ticket with cast and retrieve. Boxed 8 or so good eating size blues before it quit.

Took a ride up to Raritan where the fleet was fluking but that was super slow.
Ran out to the hard bottom off the highlands and bailed seabass anchored up, caught too many to know.....likely 30-50 fish with half dozen keepers.

Nice day..........seems fewer stripers around overall than last year.
Raritan bite was ok this spring, but seems fewer ocean fish after a pod of the large moved through for 1 week.

V21.....appreciated as usual. Why get a bigger boat with fewer fish around and all the room this boat features ?
