👎 Oct 16, 2012 Hunter 2 upper Raritan Bay
« on: October 17, 2012, 06:11:18 AM »
Tuesday evening I Had Cashin and Brian on the boat. The water temp was 59.5 degrees, incoming tide, wind was blowing from the w/nw around 8 to 10mph the sky was nice and clear with a new moon. 
We motored out of Keyport at 5:30pm and head Northwest towards the mouth of the Raritan. I planned on trolling first but the water was very shallow because the tide was low. We drifted eels in all the usual spots in the area that normally produce Big Stripers this time of year. Unfortunately nothing hit our eels. The air temps really started to drop and it got very dark with no moon reflection in the sky. On the way back to the marina we drifted some shallow bumpy areas still with no takers.
We had the boat all cleaned up and the eels in they're holding bucket by 10pm. The water temps will be dropping with these cold nights coming up the next couple of days. I won't be fishing on my boat for several days to come unless the offshore canyon trip we planned for this Fri/sat gets blown out. We have to keep an eye on the one cell far offshore that's moving north out past the Gulf Stream.
Good Luck,,, Eddie t^

Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime.

Good try. Maybe eating the eel "heart" would help your luck.

You know, it's only a little gay if it's an eel.
