Who's fishing this weekend ?

I'm gonna try and go, but doubt I'll be able to fish much. Got severe carpal tunnel in my right hand, and having complications in my left hand from surgery on it last June.
 
Good weather(no rain on the water, but poured just on the beach going inland, but MISERABLE HOT), calm water, good water clarity, 10,000 yahoos in every direction I looked, and caught nothing but ladyfish all day. Oh well, got a few hours of freedom away from the kids, went out on the boat, and didn't even burn 6 gallons of gas running around/trolling for the better part of a day(this 4 stroke YAMAHA might grow on me yet).
 
I plan to fish tomorrow...........Me, that's who, on my V21 Wellcraft.

FLUKIN'

Anyone want to reach out.........on the VHF, ch 10 , or my cell 609-790-6226.

Ask for the V21.
 
Tomorrow looks like a challenge for a v-20 heading out into the ocean. I think their maybe a little more rocking then I would want.
I wish you good luck and hope you catch a big fish!
 
I see a lot of V-20 at Atlantic Highlands Municipal ramp. May I ask where do you keep your rig since you fish the Raritan?
I have one in land storage 53 at the municipal dock. I try not to fish Sundays because it makes my trip longer then the normal time of one and a half hours.Since am retired now I try and fish a couple days a week,but it's a struggle. Fishing the Raritan and ocean side has been very good,and I expect to see a good blackfish and striper season.
Good luck to you and hopefully I will see you down fishing one day.
 
Yesterday, Saturday......was a little choppy in the am as expected with NE wind, and seas 2-3.
Running about 3,200 rpm is just about right, enough speed to get the tabs to press the bow down, easily on plane, but not pounding.

Fished north of Belmar, wind dropped out around 11am, calm seas, light drift.

Alone I picked 5 with 2 keepers at 20" and 22" along with 3 nice keeper sized seabass.

Not all the fish are in deep water.......

Of course. v1

I used to use the Highlands ramp. Nice wide, shallow entry. Great ramp. I also used to use the Leonardo State marina ramp. Only 2 truck wide, short steep entry and easy to put the wheels off the end.

Now I use the free ramp in Laurel Hill park in Secaucus, NJ.

Launch into the Hackensack, 21 mile boat ride downriver to the Hudson River, under the Varrazzano-narrows bridge and out into Sandy hook bay. I get there in less time than trailering to either Highlands or Leonardo, and although I use more gas, I don't pay GSP tolls or launch fees. I figure it's a wash. But it's way less time, with no weekend traffic to buck on the way there or back. Once I'm launched it's a nice half hour boat ride, compared with an hour and a half drive on a Sunday afternoon going back home.

Oh, and did I mention that the trip upriver on the way home is a great freshwater washout for my engine? Maybe not as pure as tap water, but way better than the saltwater that I left behind. I still put it on the muffs when I get home, but there's never a time when the engine dries out with salt inside her. :)

My first trip with my V 18 was from there. It's not a bad trip down the river to the bay at all. You just have to make sure you have your NY saltwater registry card as well as your NJ card. There's a decent fall Striper bite not too far from the launch ramp as well.

If the weatherman is correct you will need more than a V-20 this weekend!:sad:

Yep. If I go out I plan on staying in the river. Plenty of fish in it if you know where to look. I wouldn't keep/eat anything that comes out of it, but it's great fishing for Stripers.

I don't have a NY Saltwater card. Since I launch and land in NJ I'm only subject to New Jersey laws (as far as I know). I've always been taught that the two states have reciprocity arraignments Now I'm going to have to do some investigating on NY laws also. <groan> Thanks for the heads up.
