Title: JCAA Tourney - Capt Joe of Irish Ayes places 7th in Shark RIver Port
Post by: IrishAyes on June 14, 2008, 06:15:15 PM
Met Bob Cole, Andy, Johnny Oz and Lenny at the dock before 6 this morning. Loaded up the rods n reels and a ton of bait. Headed straight to Squid Head and began our drift.

I boated the first fish just minutes into the first drift. Ninteen inch fluke. In the box and on ice.  We didn't get any more fish so moved onto the Rattlesnake. Made several drifts and Lenny and Oz both put twenty inch fluke into the box.  We also managed two nice seabass from here.

The bite died so we moved to the Sandy Hook reef. Had several throwbacks, no keepers.

Made another move and Bob Cole put a 21 1/2 incher in the box.

Last move of the day was off of Asbury Park in 55 feet of water.  There, Captain Joe landed two fluke just over twenty four inches in a five minute span.

Had a 45 minute ride to the weigh station and muddled our way there. One fish weighed in at six pounds on the mark. The second fish weighed 6.2 pounds, good enough for seventh place in Shark River port.  t^

With the rush to get the fish weighed in I didn't even think of pictures. Sometimes I am just a ditz.   ;D

Luck of the Irish. Nice  chrz
My grandfather always told me; if it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck at tall... this was the luck of the Irish...as explained by him (he came over in 1912)

Good Job Joe! By the way; where the heck is squid head?

Ken, squid head is just a name that I made up for my chartplotter for a lump I fish. I named it that because the shape of the contour line on the chartplotter resembles a squid. Also resembles something else, but we won't go there.  ;D

If you look at a chart, you will see the area I am talking about. It is out I guess two-three miles from the red chruch, elberon area.

Good luck if you fish there. If you fish there, start at one end of the lump and drift across it. Don't finish your drift until you are off the lump. The fish can be on either edge or on top. Find where they are for that day and shorten your drift to fish that area exclusively.  t^
