Fished today....Saturday...out the inlet to find the forecast 2' or less was 3'-4' whitecaps with radio talk of boats turning back from going deep.....some thought 5' sets mixed in.

Radio check......nope receiving but not sending, and depth finder shuts down....
Interesting start to the morning. Hand held radio back up working.

Chose the Sea Girt Reef as compromise between Axle and beating my way north.
12-16oz sinkers till it started calming around noon..

Fishing was hot, likely caught 20, 30 fluke ....from 10" - 17" +
Bite was really all out in sections of the drift.
Managed my 3 keepers, biggest a nice fattie at 25"....maybe 6 lbs.
The big one hit a big clam bait I was working for seabass !!
Fished till around 3pm with the wind shifting from N to E.
