1/2

kayak in tow, driving to the beach. Romo and matt are already down there, going off with small keeper size bass and EVEN Blues still. Herring, bass, blues surface activity, hopefully I get there in time.


EDITED: I didn't get there in time. Romo and Matt had Fish Popping bait on the surface for a couple hours and got into 10-20 Bass before I got there 26"-32". I arrived around noon-1pm and got 2 Bass and Blue. The fishing was slow, electronics were key, Herring were easy to acquire. Working on the Video from today, as slow as it was out there I cannot complain as catching any 28"+ Bass or Bluefish this time of year is rare, we must be grateful for the bounty that has taken up residence off our beaches over the past month or 2. The bite will last a little longer, but eventually the Arctic Air will prevail and everything will go quiet during the 2nd half of Winter (AKA Hell on Earth). Kenny was out Party Boat Toggin today and witnessed a 23.11lb Tog caught on the Osprey out of Atlantic City. Thats huge! Just 2 pounds shy of the State Record! I know where Kenny will be tomorrow.

Once we landed the Kayaks I fished off the Beach for the last remaining period of daylight, Herring everywhere along the lip, and managed to pluck a 31" Bass just as the last of the light was waning from the western sky. There are giant tog and BLUEFISH over 10lbs as well as bass, anywhere from short size to monster size. There was a 50lb Bass caught AND RELEASED from the beach earlier this week, since then we've seen more fish to 30lbs run the beaches, and boats are also finding that class of fish. All Hail King Herring!

Heres a Video/pic of that Tog and a couple pics from our fish-
