Marine forecast looks very nice.........so far.

Stripers, Blues, Fluke, Seabass - I may go for it all.

gonna blow off a perfect day to glass my motorwell back on and, instead, go cod fishing with a buddy Sunday.
:nice:

Sunday-
Light and variable winds...becoming W around 5 kt late in the morning...then becoming S in the afternoon. Seas around 2 ft. Mainly in SE swell with a dominant period of 10 seconds.
 
Fished today........tried for striped bass, but nope, not on bunker, not on the troll.

Took a ride ( which I do often ) from Shark River area to Sandy Hook.
Found a small fleet drifting and anchored fishing for stripers. Nope.

Then tried for fluke.....two shorts .

Finally made my way out to Sea Girt Reef, starting by drifting till bites were frequent so I anchored up and it was game on. Throw back to large seabags, plus a nice cod fish too.
Really great fishing to finish the day. Cruised back at a nice soft 3,500rpm with tabs down for a smooth easy ride.

Now the surprise, back in shark river, watched a young girl land a big fluke ( likely 6-8lbs )with two friends on a little boat. That river does hold so big fish, but its a tough ratio. Turned out they had FOUR nice keepers !!!!!

Enjoyed the ocean, and the V again
 
Out at Shark River Reef with a friend today. 5 nice ling, a nice pollock, 13 keeper cod and a few throwbacks....:time:

With dock and cleaning station at the house on the water..............

That would save me some serious trailering fatigue. Nice.
 
No worms in the one cod I caught either.
