Got to dock at 3AM. My crew overslept and I caught 7 dock stripers from 12" to 24" until first light when the crew showed up. Used 1/4 ounce jighead with 4"FinS with an inch cut off. Manaquan River is loaded with quarter sized bunker and small bass are crushing them on a running tide in the dark.

We went out looking for mahi and had to go to Chicken canyon before we found them. Beautiful blue water. Mud Hole and Glory had green water and no fish.
Fish were small and we shook off a lot. Some were taco sized. We kept 18.

I guy on my dock was cleaning a 40 pound bluefin tuna after I cleaned the mahi. Dropped a tuna chunk back on the dock rod and got broke off quick. Had to up the game with a bigger rod. Got 5 stripers from 26" to 33" and that was at NOON! Stripers love sushi!

Got in on the inshore bluefin tuna / squid bite off Seaside Heights. It is a large area east of Seaside lumps and north of the Tolten lump.
Big fleet there. can't miss it.
Less than 15 miles from Manasquan inlet. maybe 10 off the beach. Still get cell service there! 85-90 ft of water.

Got out last Tuesday at 130 PM and had a 57" BFT and back by 6PM
My buddy's wife was catching dock stripers while I cleaned tuna.

Got out again Saturday at 3 pm. Caught 10 gallons of squid. No tuna bites. Saw a few boated but it was slow.
