Title: Another report... Rock hopping, the back and the creek
Post by: AKscuba713 on April 19, 2009, 12:23:39 PM: Couldnt take it anymore yesterday with the weather. Threw my gear in the jeep and stopped at FHQ for bait and a report.

Hit the south Jetty at barnegat inlet with my friend chris and we walked the whole jetty with plugs and live eels to the end without a tap... came back and tried for toggies under the lighthouse with greenies with no luck.

Then we headed to the dike outback and ran into my buddy rob from another site.. He fished bait while we plugged with no luck.

Last shot was at the mouth of oyster creek.... Crowded as all hell and the current was FLYING outta the creek. We had to watch our casting bigtime, snagged each other twice.

All in all, good day/night but I missed sonic by 5 minutes ??? closed just as I got there for my usual cheese fries. rgmn rgmn rgmn

I did scope out some nice pockets and holes in the south jetty that weren't there last fall :D
