Well I finally saw a nice size bass come into the marina today from one of the rack storage customer's.
I assume it was caught in the Mullica. Fish have been late getting in the river so far. Spotty action at best

Hit Gravelling Point by foot today. The wind was brutal and I froze my butt. No fish but I still had a great time trying.
This too shall pass.

We were out Friday on Great Bay (2ft seas, 8 second periods) and caught 25 dogfish, all over 2 ft, while drift fishing the inlets.

We threw them back.

On Saturday we fished the incoming tide at marker 135 which was one of the choke points between the ocean and Great Bay. The water was 58ish and no waves.

I caught nothing with 8" live eels and my father pulled up 2 12" wide stingrays on squid.

oh well

  Been awhile since anyone posted here. So I thought I'd share my day. Had a very dear friend of mine call and ask if I could take him and his son fishing. He was just diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Now he is trying to spend as much time with his son as possible. The week before the wife and I where right on the side of the fish factory catching blues at will. Knowing they were still around, I picked up Jimmy and his son and took off. Hit the water about 9:30 and took a drive around, looking for a spot with not to many boats and fish. Easier said than done!  Ended up just inside the mouth of the mullica. There is a nice little hole there about 30ft. deep and there wasn't to many boats around perfect!  Anchored up chum pot out and than a quick leason to a 13 year old on casting. We were ready. Cast 1 a little rough, cast 2  half way back to the boat a 12lb blue tried to rip the rod out of the boy's hands. For the next hour and a half it was all the blues they could handle. The better part of my day was spent unhooking fish,and loving it. Than with boats moving in and a few trolling through. We packed up and headed in. On the way back watched a boy with one of the biggest smiles I ever seen bragging he caught the biggest fish.  Back to the dock, packed up and headed home. 5mins into the ride kid sleeping on the back seat, 15mins later dad out cold and me driving along. Thinking out of every trip I've ever been on this was my best trip of my life. And I  didn't caught squat. Already made plans for a fluke trip next month. Hopefully I'll have another great trip of unhooking fish.

  Went out again Saturday to play with the blues in the bay. Got out on the water about 10am. Took a little ride around looking for a good spot. Ended up a little south of fish island in the icw by the 140 buoy.  Being a firm believer in chumming. Threw over the chum bag and a menhaden oil drip. Went with a 6" gold and black bomber and my buddy went with a blue and clear bomber. Within a few minutes they were hitting both lures every second or third cast.  A faster retrieve with a twitch worked best.  Lost count of the fish boated. It was around 3 dozen. After about 2hrs the bite started to die. So pulled anchor and headed in for a beer. Thought about going out today too but wound up having a little more than just one beer.
