Title: Reel Class Bass-Bluefish 10/20
Post by: Reel Class on October 20, 2007, 07:24:30 PM
Had Mike Accordino, his buddy Shawn, Steve Magyari and Jeremiah Jacobs along today for a jig trip.  Ran north. 

Set up on some marks off Asbury, caught a couple taylor sized blues.  Ran further up, found some better marks with a bird here and there working off the Deal-Long Branch Stretch, and had some bigger blues whacking our jigs from the get-go.  Had a pick, but for the most part we had a few fish per drift for a while once the tide started running just jigging on marks.  Blues were roughly 8-12#.  Mike was able to fool a nice 30" bass on a crippled herring around noon, right off the church while we were working around some patches of bait.

Speaking of bait... It's everywhere! Aside from that, there was very little bird activity, all of our fish were taken while we were jigging over marks.  Actually about 5 of the bluefish hit right at boatside - a few would follow the jigs up and whack them just as we were pulling them out of the water.  Got some great takes!

Finished up running up to the rocks, where Steve had an albie on, but lost it near boatside.  Almost had the slam! 

Overall a good day, fishing was a little picky however we did well when all was said and done.

Mike, so far so good w/ the e-tec.  Great on gas, great on oil.  The last 2 trips I ran 40+ miles and have only burned just under a half tank!  Can't complain about that.  TT^

Nice to see a bass here and there... was he up high near the bait or down lower underneath?

the one solitary bass we took saturday was taken on a white crippled herring, casted out and retrieved in FAST, fish hit maybe mid-way up.

Skip, pray for cooler weather and NW winds  t^
