New Jersey Blue fishin'

RW Great pics ... as usual you're getting everyone jealous. Just as a point of interest, the last two pics... there's some great fluke fishing right under your boat.. That's one of my favorite spots. Thanks for the pics :)

That is funny RW, I was out there with my CEO and two Super Models yesterday afternoon too. Went out for an afternoon cruise, they do not get into fishing much but we wet a line looking for Fluke, nada at the time but we had no real drift tide and wind wise.
How big were the Blues, any big boys in yet?

I am not familiar with this area and am curious as to why the row of houses in two of the pix all look the same.

Nipper, those are old Army barracks of Fort Hancock, there are also old gun batteries and assorted other old military installation on Sandy hook as it pretty much is at the entrance to NY Harbor.
Unfortunately you are not allowed to land a boat there so the only times I have explored it are by car.

RW I thought those were the Coast Gaurd boys barracks there, at least that is what I have always been told.
Oh and my Hydra Sport is a white hull with FishBones on the side.

Well I definitely would never spot you looking for a blue hull....not sure why I thought it was blue? I remember it now from when you first posted it . You'll be easy to spot now with the "Fishbones" on the side.

Are both those kids yours? Looks like yours and your wifes DNA fought it out and you each got one!

And those buildings were definitely originally part of the Fort Hancock installation. Last time I drove around in there there were 2 or 3 of them that looked like somebody was staying in them. Very likely the coast guard guys from the station now but the rest of them are all empty.

I was keeping my eye out for a blue Hydra-sport ....but you know they are not as easy to spot as a V-20

We hit the water about 11:00 and were back at the ramp about 6:00...probably past you somewhere along the way.

The blue fish were definitely in the "jumbo" category, really fun to reel in..... Even the party boats from Point Pleasant were up there workin' em.

Destroyer, I know there must be fluke in that spot by the boats I see in there on the weekends but I have never wet a line right there.
