Do you trailer it or are you in the water? What marina ? Go for fluke.
You fish south of Atlantic highlands. Is it good down there?

It’s seabass time ! Excellent fishing now.
I fish from Raritan Bay down to south of Manesquan depending.

Fluke still inside so ocean fishing not yet.
Stripers still around too.

Sea bass yep they are in now. A good spot is the sandy hook reef. But I love fluking and I go out of Atlanta highlands marina and I don***8217;t even have to go into the ocean.
I hav3 a good spot in the bay too for bottom fishing ( black fish,sea bass too ) maybe you will see me in the bay . Not to many wellcrafts out there anymore. I m trying to get out Sunday.

I’ve been fishing those areas about 10 years now so reasonably dialed in.
Last years biggest fluke about 7.5 lbs with fewer fish .

Fished Del Bay years back when it was good .
Don’t anymore.

Fished Long Island since about age 5 so it’s in my blood.

I like the area by the ,,,,,,,, sorry Bgreene. I can’t give my secret spot away even though everyone is there now
Dam it. Not very big fish but comfortable fishing and you do get a big one ever now and then

Ran out about 22 miles and hit the big seabass.

Formula 233 like big brother boat to the V21.
Made for the ocean .

My friend had a formula about your size too, that boat was a tank but he was a little daring. I myself play it to safe, stay close and fish in the bay. I get fluke,blues,stripers,sea bass and blackfish. Why leave the bay. I still think you’re ( sorry for saying this brother) crazy for selling that beautiful V21. Just my opinion.

Keep playing it safe if that makes you happy.

Ive never felt unsafe fishing the ocean.
