Title: StriperLess Saturday
Post by: Fishin Dude on May 30, 2009, 09:29:56 PM

Ran out of Manasquan inlet this morning and snagged up a livewell full of bunker just out of the inlet. Bunker were everywhere today. Decided to try south, since reports from the northbound guys were not good. Well, nothing for us. Drifted live ones all over the place, nope. Trolled ,nope. Decided to move to some reef structure to see if any Sea Bass were home. Yep! Loaded up on the Sea Bass, which is great because last night I surprised my wife her very own , custom made ,pink & purple lady's rod from Jersey Coast Bait & Tackle. She broke it in good with those Sea Bass, the rod will forever have good "MOJO" because she caught fish with it on the first trip.  TT^   Tried again for the Striped ones, nope! The RR Bridge on the Manasquan broke in the down position for over an hour , causing major backups, and heated exchanges between some aholes. Will try again tomorrow. Different strategy. <'((((><
