also got two keeper dock stripers on sushi chunks while cleaning fish!

at 3:30 am when we were leaving I caught a dozen shorts...1- 2 pound fish... on a jig. They were blasting bait. Manasquan River is loaded!

There are very big bluefin (60"+) near Ambrose light. We watched one get boated behind us (probably too big...)
